Re: Options for the next manager

I don't think there's anything in that, other than his agent (seemingly incorrectly) getting a whiff of a potential opportunity and putting his name out there.

If there's a conversation, it seems it's one way.

I’m thinking that I won’t see this club back in the championship again in my lifetime.

How old are you?

Re: The ianevattable sacking

There's rumours this morning of another backroom change. Craddock out. Yes this seems to be gathering pace, another one (sheer speculation I suspect) is that GT has been given the captaincy and that a few other backroom staff may be out. Usual Evatt, everyone's else's fault but him - if true extrem...

Re: The ianevattable sacking

I think the owners are new to football, aren't they? I'm not expecting a change. Haven't they talked about loyalty in the past? I think everyone hopes each manager is a Big Sam, or Alex Ferguson or Dario Gradi. Maybe they have a good working relationship. I don't know how urgent promotion is financ...

Re: Options for the next manager

Like others, I'd like us to look into the possibility of hiring Selles or Skubala.

If we don't want to pay compensation, I could also see us going for someone like Brian Barry-Murphy.

Re: Options for the next manager

How many of our recent managers have been realistically talked about this far out? Maybe Dougie? No issue with the chat, that's what a forum is for! But there is a good chance it's someone not on anyone's radar yet. We should also remember that FV gave us Keith Hill previously. So, in case Sharon i...

Question: Is Stephen Crainey separate and established enough to survive an Evatt sacking?

I wouldn't have thought so. Bar a period in a caretaker coaching role, I think the only member of staff who'd remain would be Craddock.

If we're talking contacts and "who knows who" then David Wagner is out of a job at the minute.

I could see it happening actually.

Re: The ianevattable sacking

Hadn’t spotted my typo! Don’t wish you any ill mr Evatt! There’s basically two options now anyway: 1) tomorrow 2) Monday morning It'll be Monday morning at the earliest, I reckon. Not necessarily. In football it tends not to be an 0930 meeting in the HR office. It doesn't seem to me unlikely that E...

Re: Terriers Barking, But Can Bolton Bite Back? - Bolton v Hudderfield - 14/09/2024 @ 3pm

If what seems to be the inevitable happens, I'd imagine Ludonautics might come in useful when looking for a replacement? Although, I'm not sure of the current situation with them given Edwards' recent decision to rejoin Liverpool. Do they have a Manager Search box alongside the player one? Genuinel...

Re: Terriers Barking, But Can Bolton Bite Back? - Bolton v Hudderfield - 14/09/2024 @ 3pm

I've assumed by "conversations" Evatt means he realises it's the end rather than anything else. I don't particularly like Evatt as a personality and have been in favour of a change for a long time but I can't be critical of him for realising the time has come to leave (if that is indeed his intended...

Iles reporting Evatt as saying he'll be seeking "conversations" with the ownership.
