Hopefully that's not rhyming slang. Dean Holden would be my choice too but it all depends on whether he's ready for a move back. If he's up for it he's probably been around enough now to do a decent job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pricey 35 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Where is Dean Holden? Hasn't he been out of job since 2015? I know he managed Oldham for a few months, but where has he been since? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DomRepWanderer 178 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Strangely there is no betting market for next manager, maybe there is but I can't find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pricey 35 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Would he want to leave a stable championship club though. Folk will be wary of us for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fortunately not, and yeah, it'd all depend on whether he fancies the step up too. Even though it could end up being a write off season, I don't think anyone wants to see another Sammy Lee type come in. Just think out of the names mentioned, the set up he's been involved in looks best overall, and you'd hope he's been learning from that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flannel Truscott 41 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Expect this to be quick, all but done already. They'll not be writing the job ad to pop in next week's classifieds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Farnywhite 66 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) If it’s Nolan would be better if he may be had an experienced number 2 with him some old head might work well . There was talk of a director of football role being made when FV first came on the scene think it was warburton now at QPR mentioned Edited August 29, 2019 by Farnywhite Spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rudy 1,184 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I’d be happy with Nolan or Keith Hill in this division or lower, the structure in place is going to be equally if not more important going forward though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kane57 163 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nolan, Hill or Sol Campbell would suit me. Don't really care. Treat this season as preparation for next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleepingindian 25 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 would nolan and keith hill not work together with nolan as assistant. just thinking maybe nolan needs a bit more xp i dont personally think we will stay up but id like to think we go for the best men and give it a good go.and hope Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Burndens Bogs 519 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 We've only had about 4 really decent managers in nearly 50 years imo. Armfield Greaves Rioch Allardyce Maybe sling Toddy into the mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd argue its the perfect time for a younger manager - no pressure, no expectancy and a group of fans who are united again and not looking to criticize. Agree 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a honorary mention for Phil Neal?, he did help rebuild the team, brought some good players in and got us out the 4th division. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why you think a proven manager would doo any better with no money? We got fuck all to lose any up and coming will be ok with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I think you’re right with that list, but what order would you put them? 1, Sam - he achieved success at the highest level. 2, Rioch - 3 fantastic years, brilliant football, such a shame he didn’t stay and carry it on in the prem. 3, Greaves - superb football at div 2 level but struggled in div 1. 4, Todd - justified inclusion for the ‘record’ season alone & superb football. 5, Armfield - good football but never managed us above div 3.
