the current Orient Manager being Linked but on 1 condition
https://therealefl.co.uk/2025/05/05/...one-condition/
another manager being linked
https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/ca...ace-omer-riza/
I wouldn't mind Wellens, he's done a very good job at Orient
I would also consider Ian Evatt - I think his style of play would suit our players
I know nothing about Wellens, but remember those two brothers who did really well at Lincoln? I watched a video on their training methods at whatever club they went to after Lincoln, and they were both raving, seemed to be suffering from Coachingbadgeittis. Whatever happened to them?Quote:

I wouldn’t be against it, didn’t Birmingham do something similar with their manager and they were in a mess when they went downQuote:

Gareth Southgate, 33-1 :hehe:
Who was the last manager we hired when we had to pay compensation?
I just don't see it being anyone in employment.
Given the rate of sackings it's not such a big deal, more important is the recruitment process.
It just means we can probably rule out anyone in work.
Don't think you'd like their football.Quote:

It’s that baggage isn’t it. I know I couldn’t do it. Throughout my working career, I had to be the decision maker, I couldn’t cope with bureaucracy and having to wait on people with limited knowledge of the situation. If you want me to do a job, give me the power & get out of my way!Quote:

that's interesting considering how he likes to play football
Wellens favours his teams to play attacking football, believing long ball and defensive minded football to not be suitable to long-term success. He cites former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson as a major influence on his approach. Using a preferred formation of 4-2-3-1, Wellens likes his teams to play out from the back and be patient, Wellens likes his player to maintain a high level of intensity, even during training sessions
If above is true basically carrying on what Bulut tried to adopt when he was here
I notice he was on the short list for Manager of the season for League 1 being pipped by Chris Davies
Absolute tool of a fella is Evatt
Utterly despised at Bolton and makes Steve Morrison appear personable
Think the bit about attacking football reveals a big difference between Wellens and Bulut - our former manager didn't mind playing attacking football in cup games or pre season friendlies, but we saw very little of it when there were league points at stake.Quote:

I can't see many managers dropping into League One so may end up being a punt on a up-and-comer from that division.
Out of curiosity why "please no" or "horrible feeling" for Des Buckingham?Quote:

Most people would say he'd be a fairly sound appointment?
I'm not a gambler. I hate it, but i've just put half a grand on Tony Bönjövi. He's an outsider i think could work for us .
Was he the fella in 'Boon'?Quote:

Good to see you’ve finally moved on from grizzling about Darren Purse getting the job. 🤣Quote:

I'm not at all convinced by Buckingham. Same with Rob Edwards though I'd prefer him over Buckingham.
Anyway I want Warnock with Ramsey as head coach and Perry Ng made club captain so TLG can take over from me as chief grizzler.🤣
Vinnie's a big fan of the show.Quote:

Also shouldn't discount that he's won titles and broken records with previously unsuccessful teams in smaller leagues. And apparently while playing attacking, fearless football.
Regardless, any coach who can turn Mark Harris into a 20-goal a season striker must have something about them.
