Information is an interesting word to use.

He's clearly been used by someone yes. To spread Bullsh1t more than accurate information I believe though.

It's Dalman.

If that list is correct I'm disappointed it doesn't involve Edwards or anyone currently in a manager job. Seems like we are going for a cheap option

Re: Manager Linked -Richie Wellens

We can rub Nathan Jones of the list then.

Who do you want? Nobody is going to drop down a division to manage us

I think it's entirely reasonable to think that someone out of work and with bills to pay would consider our managerial vacancy. Someone in work and currently managing in league one may also fancy a pay rise if we came calling.

My preference once he became available was Selles, followed by Rob Edwards and then Dave Challinor.

If we get Murphy, maybe he can ask Pep for a goalkeeper. That's a priority

I think Alnwick is a more than adequate L1 keeper.

We need at least 4 or 5 very good L1 standard outfield players to go straight in the side.. Right through the spine of the side. CB (hopefully Fish or Lawlor prove good enough for 1 place) , Central midfield and striker. We need physicality and pace.

We certainly need a few who can battle rather than bottle, if we keep most of the squad from last season, our most important acquisition is going to be a bigger physio dept.

We really need a few in who understand that they have to win their battles before they can play football.

I agree we need leaders and players who will battle plus pace.

In addition there will be a few on the retained list that we badly need moved on.

Maybe 3 or 4 sales and those out of contract leaving.

We need a manager in quickly now as we need to rebuild this team/squad.

I agree with you but that's not what you said?

The priority is pace, pace and more pace.

I mentioned Edwards in both posts and Challinor is currently employed. Neither would be amongst the cheaper options IMO as one has recently been employed at a higher level and is currently out of work but used to higher wages and the second would involve us paying compensation to their current club. As I said initally we are going for cheaper options.

Buckingham is on the list, apparently, and has been employed in the Championship. Your first post you mentioned your dismay at not going for someone in a job, apart from Challinor, who else is there?

This, for me, is the single biggest reason why Riza failed and we got relegated. Spent most of the time "playing in boxes", switching formations, and trying to show the world what a progressive coach he was when we should have been going back to basics and doing the simple things right to try and win points.

People can talk about pace or needing players who can do X, Y or Z, but this is the single most important thing we need to address this summer IMO.
