New manager speculation / rumours thread

[Armitage Shanks]

Gerrard currently 10/11 to be rangers manager.

As an asside Southgate is 33/1 to be our manager.. Better to put the footballs coming home (fcuked it up) song to bed

[the other bob wilson]

They were actually worse under Schumacher.

I wonder if the negative reviews from Bolton fans is a case of familiarity breeding contempt, because the stats suggest scoring goals has never been a problem with his sides - even last year (when they scored 39 goals in his 26 games).

I think you may be right about Evatt "losing" the Bolton supporters because he'd been there so long - I'd also say that expectations had become very high at that club because of the job Evatt had done there.

I wasn't that enthusiastic about Evatt when I first heard about him being a possibility, but I'm still thinking in Championship terms - Evatt wouldn't be a bad appointment for a League One club.

A bit like Dave Jones?

I used to get hammered for supporting Dave Jones now a lot people talk about it like the good old days

According to WOL Tan "has now steered away from a desire to appoint young, and proven managers... It seems there is now a necessary criteria of previous managerial experience, preferably in English football, and ideally a promotion on the CV."

They reckon there are about 10 names on the shortlist now.

Quite a long shortlist.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Quite a long shortlist.

[Rjk]

Quite a long shortlist.

but a short long-list

[The Bloop]

Given where we are he wouldn't be a bad appointment. If we'd stayed up then I wouldn't be as happy.
I thought the committee/agency etc were deciding a short-list of 6 not 10 to be interviewed. 10's too many.

[MOZZER2]

Apparently interviews will be taking place this Thursday .Ramsey has been interviewed already for the vacant Managers role

I guess 2'nd stage interviews will be next week before they decide

From reading WALES online today, I have written to Ken Choo and told him that I reckon Dave Jones as DOF and Ian Evatt as team manager would be an excellent choice for our club in League 1.

Rob Edwards and Ian Evatt were both in the Blackpool team who beat us at Wembley - the swines!!

They both owe us a promotion then.

so in terms of contract length for our new manager/Head Coach to be

1- 12 months with an option of another 12 months depending on performance a bit like Buluts deal ?
2- a straight 2 year deal
3- a straight 3 year deal

Think in this present climate option 1 for me

what's yours ?

I quite liked the rolling 12 months deal we had with Jones by the end

The 12 month rolling works financially at first glance but I can't help feel it just encourages short termism which ultimately has cost us far more.

If it's a random punt on someone sure 12 months, if it's someone we have identified and are excited by then I don't see the problem with a longer term deal.

[Parti Mellow]

To save a bit of money. Why don't the club announce all the fit and eligible players on the Thursday before the game, Then this message board picks the starting eleven for Saturday. During the game a coach could read the comments and tactical suggestions from this forum and act on them. We could then take it in turns doing the post match press conferences by zoom,

Just a 12 month deal, no option.
