Assuming we survive, who’s the man?

David Lee would be my choice, based largely on the fact he’ll be cheap, keen and a fan favourite.

Keith Hill, Nobby are 2 others being mooted.

 

Serious question about some of the hype that has always gone around Hill.

Gets credit for developing youngsters, Beech has been working with their youth for 12 years or summat before becoming assistant so is he not more responsible for that? Same people blowing that trumpet wouldnt give PP an ounce of credit for developing any of our recent youth.

 

Campo

Nolan

Stelios

 

I don't give a flying one about experience at the mo. I just wanna have fun and sing a long..................I feel good!...............Da da da dadda!

Whoever gets the job should bring Clough back

Bit worried that Nobby will be moulded into the Big Sam style of football - set pieces/percentage football/bully boy tactics. I just want to see us play some football.

We'll have four players surrounding the keeper on free kicks

That would probably get us out of league 1 but we'd need to buck up once promoted!

How about league 2?

Wasn't always the best, but we developed gradually, and irrespective of style it got results.

What we've had recently is neither.

Important thing I suppose is to get the manager in asap and let him do the signings.

If he gets Big Sam results we'll be averaging 20,000 in a few seasons.

When Dougie Freedman came in, with a couple of January loans and no money, we went from bottom half to edge of play offs, unbeaten at home from then. 

And he was shit. 

Decent manager and a couple of signings, we'll easily get out of L1 relegation zone...

Looking forward to the ride,lets see where it takes us.

The away days are going to be a lot of fun whatever division we're in.

I just popped into the local bookies to ask for Next Bolton Manager odds. He said they've been told by head office not to take bets on it till 9am tomorrow morning when the market will open. 

Never bother with these except once. I stuck a tentative tenner on Lennon @ 25/1 while stoned as fuck at 2am on a Thursday night.

The next day he was 4/1. No idea why, just had a feeling. Would’ve had more on but BetVictor restricted me. Badly needed the cash at the time so it was a bit of a result.

Pearson is the name Shazza kept dropping to people. So let’s see.

Bit of a mixed bag when you read his wiki.. 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Pearson

14 away games without defeat when he took charge of Hull sounds good. 

But total lack of info for recent stuff. 2 years in charge of a foreign club then sacked doesnt fill me with confidence.

And he just seems like a bit of a knob too!

He went to Leuven as they have the same owners as Leicester, so I’m sure he’d have kept his hand in.

Custard will be wanking himself daft at the thought of Pearson getting on Iles case at press conferences.

Pearsons a bell, let's go with one of our own.

ooof, that game at leicester under Freedman. a whisker from the playoffs , iirc. 

he were in the belgian second division with that team them thais own. 

he did alright his first year (didnt qualify for europe in that weird bottom half of first division and top half of second division playoffs) but he lost a lot in the second season, and the new guy did enough to not finish bottom of the relegation playoffs. 

i only know this cos i think we nearly bought tony watt (the celtic player) once and thats where he were at the time.

How do you mean? Head in the sand? as in refusing to accept something blatantly obvious?

Yes hes a bell and a hard looking bastard. Could be just what we need. I think they have known who they want for a bit and Parky was allowed to resign with dignity rather than being fired with all right things being said. Heres hoping anyway.

There's a time and a place for a Pearson type figure, but I honestly think he'd be just what we don't need at this particular moment.

Pearson's a cunt. You can argue that he'd be our cunt... but I'm slightly exhausted by all that.

Club needs an arm around the shoulder, rather than someone who'll have fallen out with everybody in 12 months.
