Reet, who's next?

Just been on the Plymouth Argyle forum thier fans are beginning to panic 🤔

Mate who works in bookies has gone big on Ricketts after a tip off he's had... but I'm not so sure!

We will also never find out who we "might" have had without this system in place.  One thing's for sure, there wont be experienced managers out there saying to themselves, there are 4 clubs after me but I'd love to go to Bolton most so that I can work with TP and have less control over transfers.  Its only going to reduce our managerial options.

That was the point I made in my previous comment

Whoever it's gonna be, we need to make an appointment pretty quick.

Players, all over the place, are coming to the end of their contracts and are already making plans. We shouldn't be missing out on any opportunities.

Argyle's player of the year - Sarcevic - has just turned down a new contract coz he wants to move back up North.

He's just an example of what may be around.

I'm not sure we do need to make it quick, if TP is doing the recruitment, then that's already in place. If it's  a head coach we're after, who knows who might become available in the next month or two! It's not like they'll have anything to do, or anyone to coach for at least another 4 weeks or more!

I’m not sure that he’s going to be selecting the players.

Coach/Manager will give a list and then the DOF goes about all the negotiations.

If TP is picking the players, we are fucked!

See, that's what I said earlier, I'm not really sure what his role is or how he works in this structure. I was just under the impression that he was identifying potential talent too, I thought it was him that brought in Faal (which onions man ignored) & the young lad that was loaned straight back out to non-league 

 

I'd be getting excited if it's either Lowe or Evatt.

Aye same for me

Lowe would be exciting and very unexpected if we pay to release him, , Evatt done very little and is very inexperienced so don’t think he’s the least bit exciting.

Why are we fucked? That’s the way this sort of system works. It’s very much stat based scouting and that’s how they find these players is it not. Sure I read somewhere football manager is actually used to scout players. How true that is i don’t know

I think Evatt has got Barrow playing easy on the eye football with buttons, so for me he can only improve on the last few years we've had to endure, could be the next Wilder.

I’d like to see a longer apprenticeship, he’s not for me at this stage. 

Never heard of Evatt, turns out he was a regular for Blackpool including playing every game in their PL season

Yep, central defender in partnership with Cathcart, who is now at Watford. They must have been young when they played in the Premier.

How much cash backing do you reckon it took to make Lowe favourite?

How would you feel if he left? And do you think it’s realistic he could do?

A lot of fanbase down here have from day one lived with realisation a decent job near Liverpool would see him away. 

BWFC would need to convince him there wont be repeat of his experience at Bury.

I’m sure if BWFC stumped you the money he’d come back up north.... doubt we’ll stump up though. If we do it’s massive sign of intent from FV.

Sorry should have answered your question rather than grilling you about losing your manager 😂 I don’t reckon much, small wagers on an unpopular market, will shift the odds, so I wouldn’t put too much faith in the moving markets

Yes you’re right, I reckon it’s going to take a considerable compensation package and a convincing sales pitch that’s it’s a progressive move.

cheers 👍

National League clubs have voted for Promotion of 2 teams to League 2. Has to be ratified by the FA Council but that's a given.

Barrow playing BWFC next season.

Would Evatt want to come to the UniBol? Wouldn't he prefer to continue the "Barrowcelona" project?

I'm not sure Evatt's done "very little".  Getting a club promoted to their highest position in 48 years isnt bad.  Yes I think Lowe's potentially a good 'un too, but he got a big fish promoted back to the league they should be in as a minimum, nothing out of the ordinary (over 10k average crowds in league 2).  And was part of a Bury club that bought promotion with players they couldnt afford.  Not much to choose between the 2 track records.

If he didn’t then we may as well call it a day!!!!

Lowe now 13/8 with Skybet.
