Manager/Coach Next Manager

[bashamwonderland]

I don't want to look

I'm guessing it's a mix of:

A. Paul Cannell talking about that time in the 90s when he was served venison and chicory bangers in a truffle oil and thyme mash at the Dorchester (in a thread about club merchandise), and

B. RyanBirdio making overt references to Matty Taylor's member en masse.

I’d rather the right man be in place for Monday morning (a full week for Morecambe away) with a few extra interviews this week than rushing it through for a tough game versus Derby.

The fact we are being linked with names like Nathan Jones & Mark Warburton shows how silly people were to brush aside the idea there was no-one capable to replace KR from October last year.

Either of them would be WOW appointments for League One.

Then the likes of Critchley, Richardson, Appleton, Manning would also be exciting appointments.

Would Warburton be a wow appointment? Of all the names mentioned him and Manning would be bottom of the list.

It’s interesting that no one has mentioned wanting Bonner from Cambridge after all the talk in the past about him being a good replacement. I think that just shows how quickly football can change for a manager to go from a good manager to a average/bad manager.

What I will say is that it does seem like the club are carrying out a proper process in finding the next manager and in taking a bit longer seem to want to make sure they make the right appointment for the club long term rather than just the short term.

Only problem with Nathan Jones is we all know we are keeping him active until he returns to Luton.

Not been told to keep quiet. Was busy travelling to Man City yesterday.
Also not been much to update past couple days.
On Monday I said I’d be stunned if not announced before the weekend.
Last Friday, it was down to 4. Was couple meetings over weekend including a full board meeting. Was expecting them to make final decision and maybe offer the job on Monday.
There’s been a couple more interviews since the start of the week though.

Does this suggest that the board can’t agree on their preferred candidate..?

Nathan Jones had rapidly fallen to 8/1 from a very long way out.

Think it’s 4-1 now

 

[bazzer9461]

You would assume that Nathan Jones would be looking for low PL or high Championship jobs now?

Why? Apart from Luton he failed at Stoke and Southampton and that’s what potential employers will look at.

 

[Swaby39]

Indecision? Surely not.

To be fair it may just be that some they asked to come in for a chat said no but have now made themselves available. Being the nice guys we are, we can put things on hold to leave no stone unturned.

The name hardly ever mentioned in the past week or two is Buckingham. We’re delaying this enough now that actually waiting for him to finish in Mumbai may as well be a consideration.

Any truth to the rumour that Neil Lennon has been interviewed?

 

[mooro]

Don’t talk about sex because some might have a sex addiction (@RyanioBirdio im looking at you here)?

Steve, I'm pressing 'here', but I can't get the live spy -cam feed to Ryanio's bedroom to work.....

 

[Peterdev]

Have to say, I hope not. He has not exactly endeared himself to many people has he

 

[Leysboy]

I have to say I don’t think Michael Appleton is going to get the job. I hope I’m wrong, because we’ve seen what he can do with a good budget. It will be sad briefly, but whoever gets the job will get my 100% backing.

 

[Joey]

Any truth to the rumour that Neil Lennon has been interviewed?

None apparently, according to UTO. Without his inside knowledge it would still be mental baring in mind he's a crap manager and a well known dickhead.

For League 1? Yes for me. Just my opinion.

Please post the long number on the front, the expiry date and the three digits on the back of your credit card and it should work again.

 

[Leysboy]

For League 1? Yes for me. Just my opinion.

He ain’t coming so I was told a few days ago.

 

[Yellow River]

Appleton smashed through the 45% barrier on Yellows Forum poll, nearest challenger is Richardson, just over 14%.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

He ain’t coming so I was told a few days ago.

I’m sure @RyanioBirdio could fix that…

 

[bazzer9461]

I agree. Why would Nathan Jones want a possible relegation from L1 to L2 on his CV?
He seems to have a first love, Luton. He might well wait and take a sabbatical until Luton have a managerial vacancy again.
Im sure he’d be aiming higher than L1 and may well think he has unfinished business at Luton.
After Southampton, a job at PL might be too much to expect. Saints never wanted him in the first place

A challenge maybe saves us from relegation will look good in his CV

 

[Joey]

Have there been any rumours about Richardson being interviewed? He's not been mentioned much on here as a likely candidate but did a great job with Wigan.
