Most liked posts in thread: What next ????

for me the stand out candidates that have done well at this level previously, are currently out of work and are realistic targets are michael appleton, paul hurst and gary bowyer.

unrealistic options are mark warburton, ian holloway and brian mcdermott. plus, maybe, steve cotterill.

 

Gary Jones just said no and he's not impressed with the attitude of current squad.

 

There is more chance of Julian Rhodes approaching me than the money launderer.

 

If Steve Evans and his muppet sidekick Raynor were installed

That's how desperate some fans are that they want this specimen to be our next manager.

 

Would have him over Steve Evans every day of the week.

 

Steve Evans Bradford Army !...right man right time

 

Spot on

 

Agreed, it would be a huge gamble to appoint Blake at this moment in time and one I don't think we can afford to take.

 

We need the best man for the job and not to be weak minded as some fans.

Evans for me is everything this club needs right now.

I don't care about the past as we don't live in it. I care about the future.

He could keep us up and that's what I want.

 

Not for me. Imagine a bloke came into your office for the day and flashed a member of staff. You wouldn’t employ him a few years later!!

 

How could he keep us up? Peterborough invested in umpteen players and he couldn't motivate them. They went from a top 2 position in October to fans wanting rid of " the foul mouthed bully and his sidekick in January".
You know the old saying " empty vessels make most noise."

 

I have agreed with most things you have posted recently Fordy, especially about Hopkin.
However totally disagree with you about Evans. If he comes near our football club, with his immoral values I for one will be taking time out from the club whilst ever he was in charge.

Whilst ever Rhodes is at this club, cannot see it happening anyhow

 

What a couple of days that was. Great day out, I had drunk a considerable amount of bubbly by the time we arrived at Wolves A bit premature but as you know I had knowledge of how that game was going to pan out The players were superb, although that hit against the woodwork shook me up lol.

The Wolves fans were also first class.

 

Don't be so harsh, Klaus has to get the information out somehow.

 

I agree with @Offcomedun on this matter. I will buy our season tickets but will not sit in them until Evans has gone. However, I don’t think Julian will do that to the club. Likewise I would have Warnock, no questions asked.

 

PP has way surpassed us now in the realistic option category - a solid CV here plus a promotion with Bolton and keeping them up in the Championship with all their problems. He’s a bottom end-mid table Championship manager, not a L2 one as we’re likely to be should we not appoint incredibly well.

 

Parkinson is the only appointment that would have me rushing back down to get a season ticket for next year. Not going to happen though, he's carried on his progression and only sentiment mat bring him back.

Other that that.....meh. a bunch of retread failures and speculative newbies. Does it really matter who we get?

 

Parkinson is a shoe in if we offer him a 3 year deal, Bolton will not stand in his way plus they cannot afford to pay most of the staff anyway.
Although not his biggest fan he does come with some attractions in that if any one could keep us up it would probably be him with his no nonsense style, Plus he would boost the sale of season tickets as most fans would give him the chance even if relegated given he could hopefully get us back up

 

I doubt Parky would need to hand an application in too.

 

Whilst I think the chances of Parky coming back are almost zero if there was a glimmer I would pursue it. If not there are one or two interesting candidates there. But please get the right guy and make it permanent we don’t want to start the summer off the same as last year
