Exactly. Waste of time playing the game of guessing managers, we're clearly a terrible option for anyone at the moment and it would be nice to know why.

I'm getting to the stage where I think we'd be better off in admin. We don't realise the best value on our assets anyway and there's the hope that the administrators wouldn't be pricks as the current lot are.

To understate it, this leaves us incredibly :censored:ed. Christ knows what we'll get left with to move into the season with if our situation makes Notts County look like a better option. Whatever has happened, I hope it leads to everyone on the board :censored:ing the :censored: off.

I'd say choosing between us & Fleetwood right now is a fairly straightforward task.

It's the same situation as when he was initially linked with Bolton. He'll stay and thinks he could get a team into the playoffs but what will be needed for that to happen is that he'll need backing with a playing budget he feels he can worth with. If that's not available (& I think a lot of rumour started after he sat down with thd board to discuss this, at the end of the season) then he'll move to somewhere this is available and probably get a decent salary for himself into the bargain. Up to the board to provide what's needed.

Constantly put a shift in, pain in the arse for defenders and scored several vital goals. Remembering the season pre-Main, we'd be fecking nuts not to make an effort to get him back.

Gareth Ainsworth being strongly linked with the Blackburn job. With 200 games managing in League 2, it'd be interesting to see how he gets on.

Also did lots with the Community Trust. Really nice bloke and a fantastic coach. Going to Man Utd foundation.

No but he gave two of them a big portion of our pre-season game time (at the expense of others) long after if was apparent that they weren't good/ fit enough. Think once he'd exhausted his extensive contacts book/ Twitter feed he was only in a position to make one long term deal:"This is another great signing for the club in terms of going forward." Connor Brown will now be with us until July 2017.

Seems totally fair, reasonable & honest. Couldn't begrudge him a dream move but don't doubt his integrity in wanting to give his all for us until it happens.

Ploj, Gunning, that 2nd choice keeper from York.

Was it clear that it was meant that way or could it be interpreted of us having Coleman & another that would be fighting to play without either having a divine right to call themselves no 1?

"Just been at a q and a with shez. And he admitted Leeds is one of those clubs he'd find hard to turn down. But nothing been said yet." "shez said no approaches made for him. But Leeds and shef wed are two teams he always dreamed of managing."

Some at Bolton wanted him & conversations will have taken place - that's as far as the journo went. He does seem to be generally spot on but obviously not all deals discussed get done. As for the retained list, it will have been dealt with by the board and whoever was manager at the time. Just part of the football that the manager moves on after that.

I suspect he'll be represented by an empty chair.

Murphy listed amongst those already contracted for next season (and next to the ad on the website for a Sales Executive. Hopefully the two are connected).

I think this happened a couple of weeks ago (there were certainly rumours then). Bizarrely Bolton currently have two owners who are trying to sort them out. Sheridan is supposed to be the choice of the consortium that was headed by Dean Holdsworth that, I think, got Townsend involved and he backs Sheridan but whether they're in a position to formally do anything or pay compensation is a different matter.

Back page of Chron confirms that Jones has been released.

That's right, "rescued". Not like we weren't in the :censored: or anything. Don't forget just how loyal we've been like last time around or a few months ago when you were available but we decided to do some mushrooms and take another direction. ffs.

Always an odd call as we clearly view Redfearn much more favourably than he would view us. If it's nostalgic fun we want it'd be better to interview him for the job but then appoint Mike Milligan at the last minute.

At the end of today's interview on Latics Player, neither Shez, Gordon or anyone else in the room could recall who was relegated along with MK Dons & Charlton.

Surely there'd be less arguments where there's more freedom to move?

When he was here, Dunn took it upon himself to tell me about Kelly’s last game in charge when he when 2 up top against Peterborough. “I told him when we were working on it [the seam formation] on the Thursday, ‘I haven’t got a good feeling about this’” (with that smirk of his). Of course, he was right but then it didn’t help that Dunn only decided to put some effort in when it was clear that it was the end & he knew he was next in line for the job. Where Kelly was naïve and probably couldn’t believe that he fell into the job, Dunn was more of a weasly opportunist that had clearly felt during his playing career that he was a class above most on the pitch (which may be a good attribute as a player) but lacked and will always lack the basic intelligence for management.

Doesn't matter. When a man leaves a football club (having previously mentioned that he quite likes it there) to do the same job somewhere else, he immediately becomes a disloyal mercenary. This message board has taught me that.

Though our home form since Bury is something like W6 D1 L1 which you could argue is worth letting any travelling fairgrounds set up on it for the summer & then more of the same next season. I did hear though that Sheridan wants Winchester to be a key player for him next season which obviously hints at something magical.
