Escobarp 1,448 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Dean Holden for me as think he’s got the most potential out of all the ones we could maybe attract. ‘Other than that I don’t want a steady hand as we’ve been there and done that I would rather take a punt on Nolan or someone. I think our pot will be limited and players signed with no input from them also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tombwfc 154 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Not sure why Holden would get the nod over Nolan, especially given Bristol would probably be due some compensation. Seems a bit of a hipsters choice. Holden won two out of 10 in his short spell at Oldham. Nolan's won 40-odd out of 100. Holden will have picked up good experience from Lee Johnson I'm sure, but Nolan spent the better part of a decade as captain for the best manager we've ever had. Add in more recent League 1/2 experience, being massively popular with the fans, well known and respected by most modern players and having a natural link to the current squad through Gary O'Neill and it's a no brainer for me.

Pricey 35 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nolan for me, but again he needs someone with experience as no 2 or in an advisory role Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DomRepWanderer 178 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nolan with Phil Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Aldo Raine 111 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Of the names touted, I'd go for Holden. I'm unconvinced Nolan's much more than a motivator, and I don't think Hill's the right fit for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidLeesMullet 17 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If we went right back to the beginning, Bill Riddings and Charley Fowraker would easily make the top five Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tungsten3 8 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 1 hour ago, Ros Coe said: 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. I know this aint going to be popular but i would stick coyle and megson in there even though they got very unpopular to the end of their reign. Coyle got us the closest to what sam did in the prem and a cup semi. Megson turned sammy lees mess about getting us away from relegation. The next season he progress us up the table but his last season slagged the fans off and so had to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dougie's in the same bracket for me, went on that great run, brought in some decent signings, really treated us with Moritz and knew exactly how to control a game without the ball. History will be kinder to Dougie than we were at the time. Edited August 29, 2019 by RoadRunnerFan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Aldo Raine 111 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I think in terms of pure managerial ability, Coyle is the worst we've had for a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
