Reet, who's next?

In summary...

Over 200 votes fairly evenly split between Ricketts, Clough, ANOther n Nolan.

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?  

People know it’s Nigel Clough and Brian don’t they?

Met three. All 3 absolute weapons. So I can relate to this pal 

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 

Clough always seems to come across as a boring monotoned bloke, but would back him if it is him.

More popular he played for Tranmere and Wigan So that will go against him 
He did well at Scunthorpe and Southampton but it’s been down hill since but would of thought he sees himself above a league 2 job if he walked from hull can’t see him applying to be honest

He did a good job at Hull tbf, they were in the shit when he got there.  They battered us when he was manager.

He then walked away as he was unhappy with the owners and I think he's still not in a job.

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 

Adkins walked so he won't be getting paid.

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.

We’re only making plans for Nigel

Alan 'Ale-can' Curbishley entered the fray at 50/1, same odds as Allardyce.

Nigel Clough 5/2 favourite with skybet.

Shove a quid on send him to 2/5 

Sam Ricketts the hot mover, in at 5/2.

Phil Brown looks tempting at @40/1 might stick 50p on him, that'll pay for our Indian takeaway this week.

Fans are voicing their support for David Lee. Who are these fans?

Is Peter Kenyon still with us in some capacity? 

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.

A bloke wrote a letter to the BN the other day https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/18520534.readers-letter-bolton-wanderers-must-appoint-david-lee-manager/

I reckon Tobias has read that and thought, "That's that job done, the public have spoken"

I hope not, we need the best person for the job and the selection process should not include the most popular fans choice.  This is probably the most important managerial appointment in our history.
