Sacked

It's correct that Ken Anderson is starting to come in for some stick for the length of time this is taking. It's also correct that he needs to far more transparent about the state of the club's finances and progress towards getting the embargo lifted. However .... I believe those names fit the profile at which we should be looking. People who have managed at League One level and know the score. Out of the three mentioned I'd choose Steve Cotterill. He has a very recent promotion with Bristol City and a long track record of pragmatic management. It's what we need right now.

 

Let's get on with appointing a boss, let's get on with lifting the embargo and let's get on with doing the things that football clubs do in Summer.

Adkins

Powell

Cotterill

Dont really care, 33/1 for someone who has been interviewed is value

Wasn't arguing with the bet.

 

More wondering why he's been interviewed.

Cotterill off that list for me

Currently:

 

Cotterill 10/1

Powell 16/1

Evans 14/1

Adkins 3/1

 

So if it is this 4, then at worst you get your money back if you bet on all 4?

Powell 33/1

Phillips 33/1

Reid 20/1

Redfern 33/1

Cotterill 25/1

That's what I was thinking about doing, maybe sticking a grand on all four of them, quick way of making a few quid.

Or a quick way of losing £4k when some nomark like Dougie comes in from fecking nowhere.

Powell has more like 3 or 4 year's experience doesn't he?

 

Cotterill or him for me

Was thinking about spending 5K and putting 1K on Brownie as backup.

Well skybet let me have £15 on powell, so good luck

managed 200+ games with a 37% win rate

What is this nonsense I'm reading in the BN from Anderson about speaking to one of the staff about potential managers names and them sounding disappointed with it? Has something been lost in translation there or am I reading it wrong? What the fuck is this bloke talking about.

 

The talk of interviews and (yet more) whittling down of candidates is at least more positive than the article earlier in the week about the £2.5m shortfall and potential of players not being paid - but the whole thing sounds chaotic. There's further indication in the article too that him and Holdsworth can't agree on names.

Forgot he was at Huddersfield, can only remember charlton

He was making the point that failure in a previous role wouldn't necessarily preclude consideration.

 

It makes sense in context.

Steve Evans will be the one currently in employment.

Is he what they're looking for, though? Surely the fat fucker can't still be hungry.

 

Didn't realise he already had us on his CV, albeit in small print down the bottom.

I'm surprised anyone believes anything in the BN

If it's not Phil Brown, who I think is only not our manager by now because we don't have the money to pay Southend off, or because he prefers the security of a wage at Southend (at least for another year) then either of Adkins or Cotterill will be just grand.
