RedorDead BCFC Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 27 minutes ago, North London Red said: Early odds from BetVictor: https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/sports/240/meetings/441511110/events/2057263400?market_group=3538 At the time of posting Steve Cotterill is the 4-1 favourite, with Nathan Jones and Frank Lampard joint second favourites at 6-1. No doubt these odds will change over the coming hours and days. Whack it on Rowlett, he’s not on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good shout. But I don’t know a lot about his style and how he likes to play. The thing we need most is someone who’s happy to work with the players we’ve got, sets up and plays to their strengths. Someone who’ll pick up where NP left off. Too often in the past we’ve changed not only managers but our complete structure and style of play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Seeing the names being suggested just makes me even more angry. This club needed, and still needs a firm, steady hand at the helm. None of these names come anywhere near Nige in this department. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Boy Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Given previous comments re Luton being a model for us to follow, can see it being Nathan Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My long stated preference was a 3 year deal for NP and a decent chunk of the Scott money across fee, wages and or shock horror loan signings, not too high a % but a reasonable and fair amount. Perhaps we could have even got Shakespeare and or Walsh in but that's now a pipe dream. Edited October 29, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all certain that Hayes would want to swap Champion's League football for the men's game and I think whichever woman manages in the football league first will have a bit of a poisoned chalice but Christ knows I'd rather we went for someone successful in the women's game over the various people on that list who've failed repeatedly in the men's game. Mark Hughes, Steve Evans, Steve Bruce or Nathan Jones fill me with dread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t make it up. Even with "doing a Luton", they did even better once they got Rob Edwards in. Quite aside from how dislikable Jones is, I just don't see anything in his track record that suggests he's the right person to get a tune out of our squad. At least with Rowett, I can see a logic, even if I'm not sure I'd enjoy the football. I'd be happier with Eustace out the three but I'd still not fully understand why we wanted him over Pearson.

Davefevs Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Firstly I don’t believe they’ve sacked Nige without a manager lined up to be put in place immediately. This feels different to the last two sackings. Therefore this has been in plan for a while. Sound out options, narrow down, line them up and wait to sack with some kind of “pre-contract” done to make sure nobody else poaches before you can sack the current incumbent. Get Ipswich and Cardiff out of the way, then act. I fully expect a new manager in situ before Saturday. If it isn’t announced until later this week, it’s purely because they are trying to make it look like a really quick search this week. Announce…..X. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be wishful thinking on my part but I wonder if Nathan Jones’ name is deliberately being put out there by the club to make whoever we end up with seem more palatable… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
