Bonnar been on the Stella’s again I reckon. Few crazy tweets this evening re the next manager. 

What a load of shit.

I'd imagine a cumulative league table of all the clube in England over the last five seasons would have us bottom by a mile. We've been going at barely 1ppg for a decade.

The backing all of our managers have had at matches post-Megson has been staggering. And far more than most have deserved.

Compensation is not a worry to me. The owners havent spent alot on the football side of things since they come.

if they want Lowe, they will get him IMO

Just been out for a walk and was mulling over the potential new manager.

Most of our successful managers have been tall, hear me out.....

Big fellas: Allardyce, Todd, Rioch, Ian Greaves .....

Relatively small and some midgets: Sammy Lee, Freedman, Lennon, McGovern....

So anyone over 5'11 will do for me 😁

Little Whitt will be gutted

This Bonnar fella - is he a WUM, thick or just an incoherent pisscan?

Loves his drink apparently 

Ryan Lowe is definitely high on my list, as is Dean Holden

Whatever he is, he’s irrelevant.

Yes Lowe would be a good move 

however unless he’s after a move back north can’t think why he would come 

I like what I've been reading about Ian Evatt, big gamble though.

Think any of the realistic names mentioned would be a gamble in a way, I don’t think the standard of the top 6/7 national league clubs is any different to what we will be playing at next season

When PA are at home, all his family have to travel down south to spend time with him. 
When PA are away, he takes the Monday off to visit family after PA sat game.

Could well want a move back north then 

don’t know much about PA in terms of finances etc are they a club on the up? he might be onto a good thing and next move could be a better job then us 

My tenner went on Evatt but not necessarily because I want him to get the job, I've no idea out of the available who I think would be the right person.

I was talking to someone the other day and they are still confident that the owners and those involved have got money and so on but has anyone heard anything to the contrary? 

Was watching those Wheater interviews last night and more or less every player he speaks to has pushed Lee to get the job.

They all speak so very highly of his coaching abilities and I'm sure the club will be listening, if they don't already. 

Best thing of all will be that he's cheap.

What did you think of the video?

I have not watched it all - it runs for over an hour 

Watched bits of it 

Have seen him on the Football League Shows in the past 

He comes across as a likeable bloke - but am not sure what there is in the video to put him in the frame ahead of others ? Clearly having won promotion with Bury and then Plymouth in successive seasons  which is an achievement in itself - he himself needs to kick on and prove he can take Plymouth to the next level - and he should be excited by that challenge - they have a massive fan base - he may well possibly turn out to be the next Chris Wilder - who knows ?

Just dont see how at this stage of his career you are making a comparison with Bruce Rioch or on what basis ? 

Its early days to be making any sort of comparisons with other managers  - he needs to achieve some success at a higher level before such comparisons can be drawn

His man management. It comes across on the video

Personally prefer to hear that from comments made by players who have played under him and under several other managers .

Yet Lee himself thinks his talent is in man management rather than coaching.

He's "not the best coach in the world", apparently.

Which players is wheater speaking to

We havent got any fucking players  :)

These next couple of weeks will say a lot about FV, this is their only chance to show their true ambition due to the embargo. Do they want to go the cheap, easier option in a Bowyer type figure or give it a go and try to change the whole mentality of the club and go after a young coach like Evatt or Lowe (Less realistic).

Worst away record in the football league In the last decade or something according to the Bolton news a bit back
