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)  Its a shame the vote couldn't be more representative by having a top 4 (for eg) in order of preference (I realise that's a big ask! Great to have the vote set up at all). I would be happy with Evatt, Adkins, Ricketts and Clough in that order. But how Clough can get about 20 times more votes than Adkins surely isnt a reflection of their respective abilities? I'd take Adkins before Clough all day long, I'd say their track records are fairly similar - 6.5 or 7 out of 10 - but Adkins personality, man management and ability to connect with the fans over Clough by a mile. Not saying Clough couldnt be good, but 20 times more popular?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 No logical reason why but I just don't like Nigel Clough. If he was to become our manager I'm sure I could warm to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomRepWanderer Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Clough always seems to come across as a boring monotoned bloke, but would back him if it is him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then walked away as he was unhappy with the owners and I think he's still not in a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Problem with some of these managers out of a job is they will still possibly be getting paid by old employers. So they take a new job they are giving that money up. Or have to negotiate a settlement between them and the other clubs. So we need to rely on that and make our offer worth them giving that pay packet up for potentially.  just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to it, no way has it been downhill for him since Southampton. Outstanding at Hull, really got them going on zero budget and all that fan protest stuff going on. I guarantee if he took over here he'd have the fans buzzing after a few weeks with his vision and enthusiasm, far more so than (as said above) the monotone Clough or Grayson for eg.

Mounts Kipper Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I’m not for poaching a manager from another club, often doesn’t work out, rather take someone out of work and save the compo. Edited June 17, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
