Nathan Jones will be odds on by the end of the day.
I think Buckingham is who they have as back up but are speaking to nathan jones as the number 1. We may lose Buckingham to Plymouth though but worth the wait for jones.
Logically nathan jones won't and shouldn't take it. But he's just about mad enough to.
Could end up with neither their "no 1 target " or their backup.
So, we’re going for a guy who was out of work and had spoken of his desire to manage us at the time we appointed Bulut? Also, with the club talking of their desire to integrate Academy graduates into the first team, does Nathan Jones have any history of promoting youth into the senior side? Maybe he has done at Charlton, but I’m not aware of him having done so at Luton.Quote:

Just sounds like BS to me.
I'd doubt Nathan Jones would have applied while involved in a promotion play off, and now Charlton are up, why would he drop down a league ? True, he's a City fan and obviously has an affinity to the area but he knows that it a couple of years he could be living in Huddersfield. I doubt it's Ramsey either. My guess is it's someone a bit more high profile who wants his own team around him.Quote:

Paul Abbandonato reckons we'll be happy with our number 1 target. (Has he met some of us?). That kind of thing can be patronising, like when we were told we'd love Gareth Stoker. Oh my, it's gonna be Gareth Stoker.
Abbandonato said the fans would love the new approach of buluts 2nd season! I challenged him on that after bulut had gone and he said he was assured by the club the 2nd season would be positive and attacking but he didn't deliver so they sacked him.Quote:

He wouldn't to be fair. He just likes to cover all bases.Quote:

Mood music is pointing towards Ramsey.
It's very easy to find reasons against managerial candidates if you look hard enough but the club has to find someone and surely Nathan Jones must be as good as we are likely to get even though it's difficult to imagine him agreeing to come.
Where did you hear this?Quote:

Malky McKay was the front runner early on and looked a nailed on certainty. The club then went all out for Alan Shearer and he went to well.odds on and looked a certainty for the job. He then decided he wouldn't come. Malky happily took the job on.Quote:

All a complete load of bollox.
What I would say is the fact there seems to be a delay I think probably is they are trying to get an in contract manager or a much better candidate than the likes of Buckingham and Evatt.
If we are now looking at in contract managers a small flutter on Richie Wellens may be worth a punt.
Id still say Buckingham is the most likely appointment mind.
