What if we went with Bullen and lost the first 5 but the available candidates hadn’t changed? It is all a bit Catch 22. Leaving Bullen in charge is a risky move...but then appointing some of the names touted around fills me with a sense of dread. Basically, Fathead has left us in the proverbial.

At least we won’t be stuck with someone on a three year contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 s29wfc Possibly, but he was 8/1 this morning, That's a hell of load of cash been lumped on him to go 4/9. it's not that big a market colmans has been 4/7 on the strength of DC liking mustard what it does indicate is that they've had a surge of owl talkers putting a 10 on and Jimb sticking 25 on does it mean he'll get the job nope does it mean there's a possibility yep , much stronger if people back him down to 1/7 and lower because you have to be an idiot to take those odds but you will if its a done deal BUT even then i've known it feck up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever gets it we should give the benefit of doubt. They'll be coming in near to the season, whoever gets it will have a job on their hands to get ready for the start of the season. There's little time left to bring players in and we still don't know when the soft embargo will end. We finished mid table, which looked beyond us before Jos was axed. The last couple of seasons at times we've been in utter disarray, hampered by injury and hindered by FFP/P&S. Yet, at times last season after Jos left, we looked like a top 6 challenger again. The squad is there for a new man to have a decent go but it will be tricky and we still need strengthening. But let's give whoever gets it, the best chance by backing them, who knows what might happen if they take to the job like Carlos in his first season or Bruce last season. Whoever Gets It 40/1 on Sky Bet. Lump on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbelly Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Bookies have been making a mint off us. A name gets suggested, everyone lumps on their dollar, the folk on here tell us odds are tumbling & it’s inevitable, that causes more of us to lump on it & the cycle continues for 24 hrs until nothing happens & we move on to the next name on the list. absolutely crackers int it?

My point is no matter who gets it, we should give them a chance and the benefit of doubt. There's little time left till the season starts, it will be tricky for whoever gets it but you never know at this level, when things click and you get momentum or something. It won't help anyone by acting like spoilt children like the Geordies or some other top flight fans, on the backs of the new man or DC or something before we even kick off the season.

Bluesteel Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 22 minutes ago, gurujuan said: I would imagine there are plenty. The thing is, most of these managers were applying for jobs, when Norwich, United, Villa, and even Barnsley were looking for a boss. They went out and got the man they wanted, not just selected the least worst option Not sure you’re comparing like for like. Most of their clubs planned to sack a manager and when that happens they usually have an idea of who they want. We have been left in the lurch on the eve of the season and we need someone who can and will work with this squad. Most of the names we have on the list wouldn’t have gone to manage Barnsley. United kissed a fair few frogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
