Garrp Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Relevance? Absolutely fucking loads. This aint a job for a kid who likes to piss about with the youth players. We need a bloke who knows the game inside out, who has connections all over the game. Megson? Not me - Megson kept us up, no mistake Allardyce? He had loads of experience when we got him. He's had 10 years of coaching/managing by the time he came to us. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth so correct me if i'm misunderstanding. are you saying because young managers never worked for us with Freedman or in the 80's we should rule them all out completely? are you saying there is some king of link where they work elsewhere but specifically not with bolton wanderers?

mickbrown Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I'm saying that with our situation as it, they don't work often enough to take the risk right now. Absolutely the last thing we need right now, is some bloke learning his trade with us as his classroom. Quote

I think you are overestimating how many managers in general are considered a success based on a small sample size of bolton manager in your lifetime. there is absolutely nothing to suggest that in the greater world of football, an experienced manager is more successful than a young manager in our situation.

jules_darby Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I'm not fussed with demographics; young / old. Wanderers connection or not Just no crackpots like the last few please Someone who will train, prepare, organise and motivate If they're good at talent attraction then that's a brucie bonus Quote
COYW Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Why did nobody else want Allardyce? Why did Watford sack Dyche if he was any good? We are bottom of the championship 5 points adrift of safety and without a pot to piss in. Practically we are only going to get a manager that other clubs at our level haven't gone for. He'd never managed in the Championship. Keith Hill has. Watford's new owners wanted their own man in charge. Your third point is rubbish. Quote

Really? I'll have to take your word for it, cos frankly I can't be arsed trawling through the record books Personally I think it makes more sense to appoint a bloke who's been around the block a bit and had a bit of success.

lordofthedarts Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 All I know is that Jimmy is nowhere near any consideration for the post. Wasn't even asked to be caretaker and the club haven't spoke to him or anyone in the academy. Don't want Keith hill he worked in a similar position with Barnsley and lost his job. Think he'd really struggle. Quote
anewman Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 If my texts or images sent/received I would never get employment again so don't see the big deal with everyone against Mackay Quote
pato Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 The one thing I could see with Malkie is that if we got him our loans from Cardiff being mysteriously recalled overnight Quote
superkev Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 From what I've read from Nixon it looks like we have a list of 4 with Malky McKay and Chris Hughton being two of them. Quote

I'll have to take your word for it, cos frankly I can't be arsed trawling through the record books Personally I think it makes more sense to appoint a bloke who's been around the block a bit and had a bit of success. Its not worth much but was having a look at nixon on twitter and seems you two are on the same page On hill he said "not a job for a novice. Made an arse of Barnsley in the end. You can't take risks" Quote
Blondi Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 using your logic theres hundreds of managers who could be on the short list Hi Casino, I've heard Steve Clarke is in the running too. My shortlist is Malky, Hughton, Lennon & Clarke. Quote
Guest Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 From what I've read from Nixon it looks like we have a list of 4 with Malky McKay and Chris Hughton being two of them. Nixon also said Freedman was doing a good job and we'd not sack him. I'm not sure why a tabloid journalist would know who is or isn't on our short list at this stage. In fact I'd bet we don't even have a list yet.... Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Really?

Managers who have had "a bit of success" will not be applying for a thankless task like this. Edited October 5, 2014 by MalcolmW Quote
only1swanny Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 with Malc on this.. its a job for someone who's career has bombed and has a point to prove... Quote
pato Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Wasn't the average length of a manager at a club about 18 months? The last 3 were all over that. Sammy Lee was "highly respected" as is Scott Green yet some people are crying out that he'd be appointed. Quote
Plums Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I'd be surprised we could afford most of the names mentioned. Chris Hughton? Really?!!! Quote
bwfc87 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Inexperienced but I'd like to see Tim Sheerwood brought in. Quote
superjohnmcginlay Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Inexperienced but I'd like to see Tim Sheerwood brought in. Whooooo is Tim Sheerwood Quote
gonzo Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Whooooo is Tim Sheerwood He used to be a werewolf but he's alright nooooooooo Quote
ianofcleveleys Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Inexperienced but I'd like to see Tim Sheerwood brought in.More likely to end up at T'Roverrrs if Venkys get impatient with Bowyer not having them in the play-off frame Quote
