Of all the names mentioned

I'd be amazed if we get a manager that costs compensation, like Wellens or Wild. Money will be tight next year, unless SS spends himself, in which case why not when in Cship?
 
Fuck Barton, he's a knobhead.

I'd go with Dobbie, one of the reasons being that if we have a summer like last year any new manager is going to be pissing against the wind trying to build their own squad and I dont have any faith in our transfer policy.

Dobbie deserves the chance and had shown what he can do with a relatively poor and unmotivated group.
 
Barton would be interesting, it certainly wouldn't be dull. I remember BRR on Holloway.....he's a cnut but he's our cnut. Maybe something similar.
I actually agree with Phil on the backroom team...don't bring certain names in which has no rhyme or reason other than a past history.. let the new man bring in his own team .
 
Richie is my first choice and Barton is interesting but there is no way Sadler will look at him, far too volatile and interesting. My guess is he will choose Bowyer or Wild, they appear to be his kind of people, I wait to be pleasantly surprised!!

Was it one win in seven or something

I haven't checked

I just know we looked very under prepared for league one football

Critchley was lucky in that when he made poor signings he was allowed to sign better replacements

Ethan Robson and MJ Williams spring to mind as being poor and then being replaced by Dougall and Stewart during the same season

Critchley had a hell of a lot more backing than Appleton was ever given

Critchley was lucky that the fans were watching on TV rather than giving him pelters from the West.
 
Cannot see it being Barton. Concerns in relation to personality and his appointment probably would not go down well with a lot of fans. Have to admit though i like his brand of football, played the right way and no long ball with him.

We can't afford a divisive appointment. Barton would be exactly that. There would be as many unhappy with it as happy.

We need a united fanbase like we saw over that last half dozen games, even if it was too late.

For that reason, Wellens or Dobbie for me.

I am not even sure it is the divisive element that concerns me, because there are very few managers that will unite everyone, It is the volatility you get with Joey that would worry me. After the last 12 months and the boycott years we need some harmony, some good attacking football and maybe a bit more dialogue from the owner.

You try to cause an argument every time you start a thread mate. Joey Barton FFS!

Why?

Plays good football/ball on the ground and has experience in this league with smaller clubs

Knows the league inside out and the players and teams that play it in

You would be a fool to rule him out for a couple of off field issues

It's a football manager we need to get results not Mother ** Terresa
 
I'm not sure I'd want Barton, there's an awful lot of baggage there and we certainly don't need another appointment that would divide the fanbase.
Would Wellens come here, he's just got a team promoted to League 1, will he not want to continue the journey at Orient?
I've warmed to Dobbie, despite his inexperience, they've all got to start somewhere.
I don't know enough about Wild to make a judgement.
I still think Paul Simpson would be worth a look, especially if Carlisle don't get promoted.
Going back to Gary Bowyer, would seem like Grayson/Appleton all over again, we shouldn't be going back when we can go forward.

It's the style of football though

Wellens, Dobbie and Barton all play the right way I'm not sure Simo, Wild and Bowyer do if I'm honest

I don't want to go back to anything like the style McCarthy played

That's fair enough Phil, the last thing anyone surely wants is a return to the style (or lack of style) that McCarthy played, although I fear we will come up against teams in League 1 that play more that way than in The Championship.
I'd much rather see us football teams to death than lumping the long ball.
It's a massive appointment, this one, having got it so badly wrong twice in succession, we can't afford to fuck it up again.

In essence I'd really like someone the (almost) entire fanbase can get behind and try and get a bit of unity back, it's so difficult as it's all about opinions, one mans poison is another mans meat and so on.
I really wish we'd just get on with it though.

First choice Dobbie , just got a feeling about him.
Second choice Wellens .
barton isn’t right for this club !

Barton link has no substance. Same lads who posted on Twitter said Sadler was looking to sell and would make statement in February announcing that the club was for sale

Nobody is suggesting Mother ** Theresa.

Couple of off field issues. Ha!
 
First choice by far is Richie Wellens and id try to do everything that i could to get him. Failing that my second and only other choice would be Dobbie.
Tbf Barton getting it would be fine as he seems to want to play football the right way but i just cant see it happening.
All the other names linked, i wouldnt want any of them and id actually be pretty disappointed if we did get any of them.
 
The person who claimed they spotted Barton in starbucks has just tweeted it wasn't true. So we can shut down that discussion now

Would Wellens be your first choice had he not played for us?
 
I personally think Barton would be a good appointment, about time we had a shithouse in charge of us. Other clubs have and seem to have done ok.

Off the field stuff is whatever, he's done well with Bristol Rovers.
 
Wellens won't come
Not adverse to Dobbie ,maybe as number 2 to Bowyer or even Critchley

Barton has not done much and his psuedo intellectual musings convinced me he's a knob and I ghink it would end quickly and badly meaning more disruption

Mind you it would be a laugh ( 6 months after he was sacked)

Posters continue to mention Thommo when these positions need filling but Mr Sadler has overlooked him on several occasions during his tenure. There must be a reason for this?

Because the managers he has employed have brought their own men in. Appointing Dobbie would also mean a chance for a new No 2.

They were probably at school at the same time. Wonder if Thommo wedgied him and took his dinner money?
 
Anybody keeping count?
Dobbie for me.
(Cheapest candidate, Mr. Sadler. He’s here. Popular. Best BFC stats this season.)

Maybe he simply doesn't want to be a manager?
 
Barton is an interesting choice. A pal of mine who worked for the Cods said his training sessions were a vast improvement on Grayson and very innovative. Also not afraid to play youngsters. Thing is you have to pay for a bodyguard as well. He would also want to bring his own backroom staff in. Plus he's not really a nice man.
 
Seems a lot of people seem to have forgotten the big cheer when Charlie Adam clattered Wellens (and got sent off for it) as Wellens had left Pool for a "bigger" club. Not sure how many fans would want him back.
Personally I think he has a decent record in the lower leagues and I have him back.

Dobbie or Wild for me. There is something intriguing about a Barton appointment though. I just feel an implosion and chaos would never be far away !

Cant understand going for wild Halifax and Barrow fail to inspire me
 
Not Bowyer according to The Gazette:

@matt_scrafton


Understand there's no truth to reports suggesting Gary Bowyer is about to be appointed Blackpool's new head coach. I gather there's not even been any contact and he's not being considered for the role.
