By all accounts Richardson, Critchley and Adam have all had informal discussions. No doubt the Man United coach we approached in December will be another. As much as I don't like Nathan Jones, I think he could be the man to work wonders with us.I thought Chris Badlan was tasked with sorting this one.
Sure they will have spoken to potential candidates by now.
If the board's doing its job properly, surely they should maintain a list of names, updated monthly, of possible replacement managers should the need for a replacement arise at whatever time.Will the Board actually advertise for the vacancy, or have they already decided who they want?
The next manager has to be someone that everyone can unite behind and that isn't CritchleyCritchley for me. He looks the best of those the Gazette listed given that Evatt and Notlob are now joined at the buttock.
I don’t think Critchley will come back but you must remember that football supporters are the most fickle of all and if Critchley did come back and, for example, won his first 5 games, then all his shenanigans from his last stint would simply be forgotten.The next manager has to be someone that everyone can unite behind and that isn't Critchley
If its between Richardson, Adam and Critchley which I really hope it's not then whatever your view of him personally, Critchley is light years ahead as a coach and woukd be the best pick.
Unfortunately I have got a horrible feeling they are gonna go for Richardson which will be disappointing considering how sh1te he was with Wigan in the championship and their long ball game being so exposed as being inadequate prior to binning him off.
Richardson's CV is probably better than Critchley's plus he used to play for us. Winning L1 under poor owners as opposed to going up via the Play Offs. Leam wouldn't be the worst choice as he will have a good understanding of L1 and hopefully players that fit within our budget.Don't think Richardson is anywhere near as bad as you make out. He done the best out of the Wigan managers this season, yet they still sacked him. They won League 1 convincingly last year.
He won't be such a bad one. You literally mention about Richardson being crap with Wigan, but what about Critchley with QPR? He was even worse.
We need to drop this going back to ex managers nonsense.
Badman did identify some potential canditates but I've no idea how far that list has taken us.I thought Chris Badlan was tasked with sorting this one.
Sure they will have spoken to potential candidates by now.
And if he didn’t win his first five it becomes a repeat of Appletons second coming. League One is a tough league, don’t underestimate it.I don’t think Critchley will come back but you must remember that football supporters are the most fickle of all and if Critchley did come back and, for example, won his first 5 games, then all his shenanigans from his last stint would simply be forgotten.
Anyway, he’s probably as Leicester now cleaning Gerard’s boots.
Dave i doubt it on both points remember this BLACKPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB no one ever knows since pre Oyscum era.Will the Board actually advertise for the vacancy, or have they already decided who they want?
If they advertise, will Evo actually apply?
Please NOT Critchley - never go backBy all accounts Richardson, Critchley and Adam have all had informal discussions. No doubt the Man United coach we approached in December will be another. As much as I don't like Nathan Jones, I think he could be the man to work wonders with us.
It was just an example Dougz in response to Walthamstow stating that Critchley wouldn’t get the backing of the supportersAnd if he didn’t win his first five it becomes a repeat of Appletons second coming. League One is a tough league, don’t underestimate it.
Positivity....I’m awaiting my interview/rejection letter
It's a bit silly isn't it.Cannot for the life of me fathom why people keep suggesting Evatt will ‘apply’. He’s flying at a club on the up who have backed him, have bigger crowds and a developing squad… Oh I will just bun all of that because I used to do bits at Squires Gate?!
If MM did resign then maybe not especially when we are not sure which league we’ll be in. Maybe now they’re waiting to see how Dobbie does.I thought Chris Badlan was tasked with sorting this one.
Sure they will have spoken to potential candidates by now.
I’m positive it will be the latterPositivity....
My vote is LeeCharles and JaneWill the Board actually advertise for the vacancy, or have they already decided who they want?
If they advertise, will Evo actually apply?
Anyone else thinking they're edging all their bets on Dobbie pulling off a miracle job and give him the job?Will the Board actually advertise for the vacancy, or have they already decided who they want?
If they advertise, will Evo actually apply?
I loved Charlie as a player, but I'm not sure about this. He would be being appointed solely because of his playing career. There are better ex-players than Charlie that have done more coaching, like Kevin Phillips. There are also many individuals who we have more evidence of them being good coaches/managers. Take the emotion out of it and Charlie isn't the best candidate. It would be a complete stab in the dark.I'd give the job to Charlie Adam in League 1. If we stayed in the Championship someone else, but no idea who.
