Which muppet can we appoint next?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

To me, one of the most important boxes to tick is lower-league knowledge. I believe his only lower-league experience was at Plymouth, and that didn't go very well. At all.

Reid anyone?

Yeah.
Right after I've hacked my bollocks off with a blunt penknife.

Can you Snapshat the photo to Brucie? He's into that sort of thing, apparently.

Reid anyone?

For the love of God, no!

The days of the type of manager (in any walk of life) who thinks that it's OK to take a shy at their operatives heads with the teacups whilst subjecting them to a volley of verbal abuse is thankfully a thing from a bygone era, which is where Reid belongs.

Reid anyone?

He was unable to keep Bolton up but helped the Championship’s doomed bottom club finish with a four points from their final four games.

ha! that's a very generous narrowing down of the games counted!!

A bit like your call elsewhere!

I think the new manager is going to be Douglas Owen Chris Alan CoyleyMcStubbsWilder-Hill the Third.

Can you narrow it down a little? I'm not sure which one you mean.

I'll start the "DOCACMcSW-H the III out" thread immediately.

I second that. He's just not got the pedigree we deserve

On* the BN today: Stubbs not near top of patient Wanderers' shortlist.

... it is thought (Stubbs) does not feature in their current plans ... Although impatience is growing among the fans, Wanderers continue to take a watching brief on their new manager. Their shortlist is affected by a number of factors, including the fact Nottingham Forest are also looking for a new boss and sussing out some of the same names. Peter Reid remains a strong option, working alongside another younger manager, while other candidates could soon come to light depending on the end-of-season job changes elsewhere.

Which is quite right by me. What if, say, Bradford lose narrowly in the play-offs and Chorley lad Phil Parkinson, the league's fifth-longest-serving manager, decides he wants a change? Meanwhile we've rushed into appointing Kevin Nolan overseen by Peter Reid...

*I've decided to start saying "on the BN" rather than "in the BN" as the copy comes out online at different times - sometimes before the paper, sometimes after. Just so you know...

I agree completely, I just wish that they'd said they were waiting until after the season finished before making a decision, rather than coming out several times, saying a decision was imminent or that it had already been made. That didn't help anyone.

If they'd have said that, then it would have taken a lot of pressure off DH and KA, and some pressure off our interim managers too.

Oh yeah, totally. Just because I think they've got the waiting right doesn't mean I think they're impeccable. They need to stop with the confusing noises and undeliverable promises.

As a fine example of how things change at this time of year, I see Frank de Boer's left Ajax. Not that he's coming here, obviously, just saying that people become available in May that weren't in March.

Nigel Adkins becomes available today... he knows the division!

Indeed - promoted from it three times with two clubs, as champions, runners-up and play-off winners. Less successful at an uncertain Reading and now the fourth manager in four years to lose his job for not taking the Blades up.

Not perfect but I'd rather him than his fellow Scousers Nolan, Reid or Stubbs.

any day of any week plus some days that haven't yet been invented!

Adkins would be a good option. New owners should be getting hold of him right now.....

[LeverEnd]

No.

I don't like the way his eyebrows ate permanently raised during interviews.

I don't like him either. I think it's because he looks like a smug prick!

Wilder IS busy...

he's allegedly about to pop over and manage Sheff Utd!
