The Bolton News has mentioned Dean Holdsworth!

Mark Hughes would be my choice, I hope that the board agree.

Wait, he suggests Reid and Coppell, and COPPELL is the one you have a problem with? *Shudders* No ta to Reidy, yesterdays man, and if we are going for a yesterdays man with a romantic history with us, we might as well go the whole hog and get Rioch. Hughes, Bilic, Ferguson, Curbs, Dave Jones. They are who I'd be happy with. Anyone else, well, they'd get my backing, but perhaps not my imagination (discounting Coyle who I don't think we have any chance of getting).

Nope, Coppell isnt the only one i have a problem with, but there is a chance that we will get Reid forced upon us, and i didnt want to sound too negative about a manager who could be favourite, (if you believe the papers etc) to be OUR new manager in the near future.

Fair enough. I wouldn't want Coppell but I'd prefer him to Reid. I really, really hope it's not Reid, coz if it is, we're going down.

I dont thint that is a cert, but it is more likely than if someone like Hughes was to take over.

Reid's got a good record of turning clubs round in the short term - he stopped trainwreck Leeds going down. It's when he spends money you have to watch. If he came in on a six-month contract while we tacitly invited the world to apply for the job next summer, I wouldn't be delighted but I wouldn't be distraught.

Coppell's not a bad manager either, but he tends to take longer to settle and I think we might need a bit more jollity about the place.

But he hasn't really managed ifor any length of time n the top flight since the days of George Graham.

A man on the fringe of football.

i neva sed they were my top choices and btw if it came between reid and coppell id take coppell i think hes a decent manager but obviously hughes is my top choice and curbishley a close second to that

Why does that sound so familiar?

Its being reported that Curbishly is being interviewed on Tuesday.

If true ?, he'll do for me if we can't get Hughes....

Probably in most people's top 3 of possible managers and I suspect most would see Curbs as a improvement on GM

Tin Lizzy · Post by **Tin Lizzy** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 12:18 pm

Yes Curbs would be in my top 3 but I didn't think he would move north.

Not in my top 3, even without Hughes. Marginally ahead of Reid/Dowie but that's about it.

Tin Lizzy · Post by **Tin Lizzy** » Fri Jan 01, 2010 1:56 pm

So which other managers have had a lengthy career at Premiership level with little failure and are available? Dowie and Reid were last seen failing in the championship and would struggle to get a job in that league.

Tuesday? We're not in a rush then.
