They're the managers who got their teams promoted from League 2 last season whilst County lost in the play offs. Their teams aren't just down the road though.
I’d be okay with Duff, Bonner’s done a very good job at Cambridge, Evatt is a manager whose career is on the up and Bolton are a club that have had to shed the delusions of grandeur that some of our fans have based on the attitude shown towards Flynn by them. I wouldn’t want Adams, but that’s because I don’t like him - he does have an impressive CV though.

It’s a bit insulting to assume nobody from this area would know anything about Flynn if he hadn’t been managing the club a few miles down the road. What Flynn did to keep County in the Football League in 16/17 was extraordinary and made him a contender for manager of the season that year in my view. Since then, Newport’s cup record has been second to none in the lower divisions and Flynn has steered Newport into league finishes that historically you dont tend to see from sides from that city.

I’ve got a short list of possible contenders for the City manager’s job who I definitely wouldn’t want here, Flynn isn’t on it.
