That would be a good start. No Billy Von Tinkelwinkle from Armenian 2nd Division side FC Surefire Batteries etc. Billy Von Tinkelwinkle could end up being the greatest manager in the history of the English game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following year, with an average at best squad and little funds had them in 7th challenging for play offs and over performimg only to be undeservedly sacked and replaced by Zola who frittered funds and then won 2 in 24. Then had a better squad at both Derby and Stoke and did nothing, it's all about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finished 10th in what was not a really competitive season for the championship, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 How funny would it be if Bruce rocks up at Northampton. Newcastle appoint the french guy and it’s all been testicles? Somethings really not adding up at the moment. It’s bizzarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The most interesting names are the seemingly unrealistic or out of reach names (i.e. the likes of GVB; Genesio and Arteta, along with Hughton) and the most interesting realistic names are the likes of Cook; Stendel and the Cowley's). I'd look at the likes of those mentioned as unrealistic and realistic within the betting or similar to them, that aren't yet in the betting. If DC is understandably disappointed by being messed around with Bruce, then I would think, he'd try hard to get this appointment right and/or for it potentially being a kind of statement of intent or interesting appointment. The rest I'd avoid if I were DC, especially the many out of work usual names that can't find jobs and the merry-go-round job hopping types. Plus the obscure Carlos and Jos types. It might have to be an out of the box but smart or forward thinking type of appointment. Foreign but with pedigree or already over here or with contacts plus recently retired players turned coaches or up and coming EFL managers, might be the best ways to go about it, looking at the betting field and managerial appointment trends.

WalthamOwl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not this time but perhaps in a few years when we are after a new manager I would love us to give Hutch a go. Think he would make a brilliant young manager if that’s something he wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Obviously Bruce isn’t going to be in the dugout tonight. Perhaps after the game DC will release a statement? Personally feel something needs to be said by the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
