I'm just bumping up 'Challinor' again

Just in case management might get bored and read something on here for ideas. 

 

Widely reported he's going to Blackburn. He's the on I wanted, but again we miss out on a manager that would have been the perfect choice.

They won't appoint Challinor. Makes too much sense. It's this years Corberan or Rohl - actually gettable but will be overlooked because he doesn't play this delusional style of football they're fixated on.

And this is why it was never going to happen. I reckon they're all on holiday and thought nah. That is next month's problem. Honestly, any other club would learn from past mistakes. Nope not us. The one time we actually need to get our house in order early and there is silence. 

 

They should have had a plan in place, targets to go after, conversations had and a realistic view on the hole we're in. Nope, we're linked to the narrow search of dross like Rylan. 

 

We can't get it wrong or leave it late. We need a manager then to look at the squad, get rid of crap (most), get a new proper captain in and rebuild the squad early. What do we get..the usual silence. 

 

Look at all the other clubs sorting managers throughout the football league and prem already.

Rowett must be under consideration else you’d have thought they’d have at least said the standard. Thank you if your efforts etc…

He's probably about the 12th name on their list. They'll start working their way down it soon, crossing names off like Klopp, Slot etc until they are left with Rowett in the middle of July, who will then stick two fingers up at them as he's accepted a job at Lincoln

Sadly, yes.

Anyone fancy sticking £30 on Challinor to get all our juices flowing again 😂

Fine be me.

 

Rowett is not the answer as his 3 month's or so 'try before you buy' clearly showed.

Jimmy Thelin 

Eirik Horneland 

Steffen Baumgart 

Thomas Reis 

Vasco Matos 

Marcel Rapp 

Not sure how realistically any of these are but they are all readily available. 
I’m sure Thelin was linked with us before we hired Rowett.

I honestly don't think our board would know any of these.

We were reported to have strongly considered Thelin before appointing Rowett. If that's true, it wouldn't surprise me if we went back for him.

They are ****ing unreal. No lessons learned, keeping on doing the same shit, definition of madness. I am rapidly losing the will to support this shit show now, it makes me so livid that they are such a bunch of clueless inept willy pullers.

I’d be very pleasantly surprised if we looked abroad for a name, it’s such an extreme rarity for League 1 clubs to go down that route, over the past 5-6 years, Barnsley are about the only club to have done so. 
 

The norm for League 1 clubs is recruiting managers who have been around the English leagues, or hiring assistant managers/coaches who are also involved in the English game. 
 

Even if we do look overseas, knowing us, it will probably end up being Lee Johnson.

44 days since we knew what division we were going to be playing in during the 26/27 season. 
 

I don't want to, but you can forgive the leadership having a week off after the season to re-energise ahead of an important summer. 

 

However, that still leaves a month where we haven't even had a whiff of a rumour on a new manager. No other club of any reputation operates like this in the entire country. It's an absolute embarrassment, and to make things worse - I don't even think I care anymore.

Oh shush you're just being negative! When have they ever let us down before?

This, im getting seriously so pissed off with the operation of this club. It is getting to the point where I just give up caring because they clearing treat us with utter contempt and disrespect.

Nothing will change under Aiyawatt and Rudkin anyone expecting a modicum of change has delusions of grandeur the sooner these charlatans depart from the club the better.

I like the thought of going for an assistant. 
Paddy McCarthy or Jason Tindall if Howe leaves Newcastle. 
Maybe Thelin we’ll look at again as he was linked with us before getting Rowett.

Rudkin spotted in Morrisons talking to a manager, turned out to be the fruit and veg manager. Who'd have thought it, a turnip talking about turnips.
