Listening to lowe on that podcast thing, it is clear that even newish managers, at lower league clubs have a wealth of contacts within the game from their playing days. As you say, a big fish in a small pond too. Strangely, there seem to be a number of half decent, young managers/coaches who may fit the bill. Can't help feeling someone young and hungry with enthusiasm will benefit the youngsters. Not sure a journeyman manager is what is needed at the moment, but what do any of us truly know.

snowball Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 im hoping FV already have an idea who will fit their model and will get their target. Personally id much rather have a younger manager who has proven himself in the lower leagues , be able to spot decent available talent to get us back on track. Much rather have guys like Evatt, Lowe or even the Rangers guy than the usual merry go round league regulars or someone who just happens to have played for us in past.

Blondi Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I'd be amazed if we couldn't attract a manager like Evatt, yeah I get that his stock is currently high, but Barrow play in front of about 2K fans, I've read that his compo could be at least 100K, but we're no longer employing Emma, so maybe we can push the boat out for a young ambitious manager like Evatt?

Duck Egg Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Steven Reid is an interesting one. Got coaching experience and looks like he'd have a presence that nobody would feck with him. No lower league experience though as a player or manager. Ex Rovers doesnt bother me though and surprised it does others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rudy Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 Sometimes we need to look past who’s played for us, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll make a good manager. No room for sentiment especially not in our position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem when some folks’ last excuse not to go was that Megson is a prick! Don’t be expecting folk to start turning up because of who gets appointed as manager, they only show when we start winning more games than we lose.

I agree the club need to make a proper effort this time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m getting at is a new manager won’t sell too many tickets. Season Ticket sales will be what they’ll be but half-season and pay-per-game sales will depend almost wholly on results. what the hell are you doing up at this time anyway? 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their was a time to do this then it’s now or never I suppose. Regular time these days as someone in my house likes getting up this early. What’s your excuse?

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted June 16, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2020 We were linked with Sean Dyche at one point (think it was the Freedman time) but I didn’t want to touch him with a barge pole. The non-obvious choice might turn out to be a master stroke. Maybe it’s time to bring Gumbo home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruba Mustafa Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 In summary... Over 200 votes fairly evenly split between Ricketts, Clough, ANOther n Nolan. Every other named candidate in the vote has received support. Over the course of this thread almost 30 names being seriously touted, with most being rubbished by at least one other person. Just goes to show what a difficult decision it is for FV to make. imo they have already made up their mind, it’s a brave decision to get rid of hillcroft, so u wouldn’t do that unless u had a plan. That’s how FV work. Lets hope they get their man (or woman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
