We will get a better idea of who might be in the frame when we see which out of work managers pitch up at Lincoln on Saturday. You‘d think an appointment is probably a week away from now so it will be the only opportunity the new man will get to have a proper look at what he will be inheriting, in advance of the Derby match.

Why go to the game when you can watch a quality stream on iFollow?

*coughs*

Gone are the days where a manager has to attend a game to see what they are inheriting. All games are shown on ifollow and extended highlights for every game.
 
Also Jackson isn’t free so we’d have to agree compensation with AFC Wimbledon.
 
Did alright when he was in charge here in Australia with the Brisbane Roar, just before Covid hit.

Don’t quite get the amount of negativity around Fowler. Not my first choice, but if he gets the job he would get my full backing as well.
He has been Coaching at Oxford on a casual basis. Since then we’ve scored the odd casual goal.
 
If everyone else could put a couple of quid on the 66/1 shots, I will pile on MAPP and Fowler when they drift to 16's. Think it will be one if those.
Then again I might have to cover up on Des Buckingham.
More chance it will be Jessie Jackson than Johnnie.
Well, the interviews would be different with Jessie In charge! What are his odds?
 
I’ve heard through someone that Mark Warburton has interviewed, would be my idea of a good appointment with a DoF,SD above him. Which he worked under at QPR & brought through the likes of chair & dieng into the starting 11. Experienced and would do well if given a decent budget which will happen.
 
Mark Warburton was appointed West Ham assistant coach at the start of this season.

I think all this talk of a Director of Football is wide of the mark to be honest. The majority of managers (including ones apparently on our shortlist) don't work with one, and it needs a very specific skillset and contacts book. We have never had one, it's expensive, and it's two possible positions to fail at as well.

Far more likely is your standard manager, with his own assistant and backroom team, and the rest of the coaches being let go. And then a new head of recruitment above that working with the manager (which is currently actively being searched for). No point having both a DoF and head of recruitment.
 
Warburton has had an interview. That why I put a £10 bet on him at 66/1

There was another manager out of work who interviewed today, and his name is the same as a place in Oxford.
Cowley? Explains why his price contracted too, but I had heard Warburton was going to have an interview. Person who told me that is usually pretty reliable.
