Re: The next manager
More an incredible motivator than simply a disciplinarian. A guy who made a third division side believe that they could win a game at the revered home of the then FA Cup holders. Nolan with Reid alongside does sound appealing, just so long as Reid could accept being second in command to a far less experienced chap.LeverEnd wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 9:56 pmOld school disciplinarian.

I knowwwwww.
I'd give it Nolan though if he wants it. Get Peter Reid or someone like in as assistant.
May the bridges I burn light your way

If talk of Nolan being on the pop is true then not sure monkey man is the right mentor...LeverEnd wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2019 9:56 pmOld school disciplinarian.

He was happy enough to temporarily help out Jimmy Phillips after Lennon was shown the door, so I think he probably could. And wasn't a Nolan and Reid partnership Deano's idea of a dream team before Anderson overruled?
I have to be honest, though, it's a no from me.

Re: The next manager
I hope that doesn't automatically rule out the rest. Still Kev Nolan for me.

Re: The next manager
I'd be delighted with Pearson but it's been a while since he was down at this level? Must admit I'm leaning more towards Hill than Nolan now though.
Tony Pulis anyone? 《ducks》

Re: The next manager
Pulis would be best places to get us up (next season). Not sure it’s the right move for us now though.
Re: The next manager
Pulis plays worse football than Parkinson. Wouldn't go down well IMO

Re: The next manager
Deano’s a no. Happy where he is. Can’t blame him.
Re: The next manager
Hill and Nolan have both had/having interviews.
So the story goes.

Would have to be Nolan for me. Hopefully end up being the right call and not damaging those good memories we have of him.

Re: The next manager
Why don't you quote your source when you make these statements as though you are 'in the know'? Why not say, according to some random person on Twitter or just read on Lion of Vienna that they were both interviewed in London yesterday?

I’m not in the know about who they will appoint. I was about the takeover to an extent.malcd1 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 3:36 pm

Re: The next manager
Football was good, he’s got an eye for a striker and develops youth. He can come across a bit arrogant toward his own fans sometimes, has a habit of playing strikers as full backs (Henrik anyone?) and is rumoured to be a Bolton Red!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 11:30 amInteresting, cheers Chester (I like to imagine that's your real name ). What did the Dale fans (and for that matter you) think of his style of football?chester white wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2019 11:14 amI know a lot of Dale fans and have seen a lot of games whilst Dale were under Hill. When he was initially linked with us, maybe after Freedman left, I was against it. He basically ran Rochdale, and I thought the difference in size and fan base would be too much for him. It wasn’t unusual for Hill to have a pop at the Dale fans in the press, and that might just be a couple of moaning old timers sat behind him in the crowd, so imagine him with 15,000 (arf!) on his back. I believe he struggled with that in his brief spell at Barnsley as well and a lot of Rochdale fans agreed.
However given the situation we’re in now (might be pessimistic but I’ve accepted we’ll be in League Two next year) and with his track record of getting teams out of that league, I’ve come around to the idea and whilst there are other options too, it would definitely be one I’d consider.
I’m torn really, I think he’d possibly be ideal for this situatio we find ourselves in, but (possibly arrogantly) wonder if we’re too big a club for him and how he would handle it.

Re: The next manager
I love Kevin Nolan, but didn’t he fail to take Notts County up with a massive budget in league 2?

Re: The next manager
Marc Iles Tweeting we are due to appoint the new manager much sooner that expected (late next week was mooted earlier).
A Nixon Tweeting Michael James choosing and want an experienced unemployed manager.
All pointing to Keith Hill if true. We need someone and we need him now.
