Next manager

Steve Evan's box. What a terrible image.
Whoever we appoint ,no one can say how it will work out. football management, the ultimate lottery.

 

We could all do with a lift at the moment Bigrod

 

I do use it mate but its the steps down to my seat although its only 5 rows down, well not so much going down but more back up, there's always Jimmy Cuthbertson and Ian Cooper ready to give me a pull, but if I can get back for Parky & Co I'll be more than happy, thanks mate.

 

I think we'll get the right result today and if get a result lets hope it goes along with a good performance irrelevant of the formation.

 

We are both pleased you are doing so well. They are very steep. Phil sends his best wishes and hope to see you soon when you are mobile.

 

McKenna has been a coach since he was in his early 20s and taken on board advice and seen many different styles of football from the best there is.
Hughes is arrogant and thinks he knows best.
If he'd have taken anything from Fergie it's that you need to attack to win games.
If he'd have taken anything from his time abroad he would have been able to recognise a defensive midfielder as on the continent they were the kings of it in the 80s and 90s.
Instead we shoehorn Oyegoke and Gilliead in there.
He's not taken anything in to be a great manager.
McKenna on the other hand is a real student of the game.

 

Absolutely right , hence real reluctance on who I’d fancy Andy. Who I don’t want wouldn’t be a problem though.

I agree , no matter who we recruit , or indeed anyone recruits it’s a lottery . About 20% chance of getting to the play offs isn’t it? That’s a lottery for sure.

 

Give up , you will make the soft sod cry. Have they lent you a zimmer @Bronco? They gave me one to get about when my a lot of calf muscle got removed. It was ok to hang mi coit on

 

McDonald's Bradford City. Could earn us a few bob if they sponsor us

 

If McD gets a few good results as BCAFC manager I can see him being the full time gig!

You heard it here first.

 

If we play like that every week give him the job if he'll take it. Hardest working performance all season. Terrific to watch and we made a very good team team look pretty ordinary.

 

I like that, but Sparks will be lovin it.

 

That is always the fear.
At least McDonald broke your caretaker curse.
I believe if a caretaker is having a successful run, and the new manager isn't lined up, let him go on and on in the caretaker role. Either the good form will wear off and you can appoint from outside, or you'll go up as Champions!

 

McDonald doesn’t want the job. He’s already come out and said he wants to go into management one day, but for now he’s focused on being a player.

 

We obviously have a track record with Trueman getting very good results during his stint as caretaker manager.

I'm not averse to appointing the caretaker manager, as long as it is not just because it is the cheapest option.

 

I have seen this statement on these very pages.

Maybe he is being totally honest, maybe not.

Discussing options, musing, conjecture, the very keynotes of this forum.

 

I think that was partially the problem. Hughes approach to games is one adopted by teams from higher leagues. Had he squeaked us through to promotion last season, a slightly better quality of player would have been attracted to the club and he may well have flourished in a slightly higher league. We will of course never know now.
