Dave_Og Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I doubt whether any of our last half dozen appointments have been quoted. These are the ultimate mug bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100milesaway Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Maybe one of the owners own. Karcocha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott2 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Campbell was almost appointed before Bunn, wasn't he? I'd not be against giving it Murray or Butler until the end of the season and re-assessing in the summer, preferably under new owners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O.JONES Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Heidi Klum would save money on the managers kit and might bring a few more supporters back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I imagine they’ve already lined someone up, it’s how they seem to work. If it’s not someone already at the club, I wonder if Sol Campbell would take it, or would getting stung at a mismanaged Macclesfield put him off?

Dave_Og Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hardly the sort of thing there's a record of but I can't imagine any other club firing the manager and not even bothering to say who's in charge for the next game in 48 hours time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they arrived they haven't been through any sort of process to assess candidates as they have just appointed someone they already know.

Dave_Og Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'm assuming Barry works as a consultant for SkyBet and helped them put the tail end of that market up. Gunnar Halle Ian Marshall Joe Royle Mike Milligan Andy Ritchie Ian Marshall Betting on this market is like betting on the Grand National when the market doesn't include half the runners and does include lots that wouldn't run in a month of Sundays.

Funny that Out of the above my choice would be Adkins, followed by Cowley and at a push, Parkinson but we'll probably end up with Steven Pressley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Barton manager at Brizzle Rovers ? and Holloway fell out with the owners at Grimsby so not a good fit with our totalitarian regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it strange they brought the youth team head coach in, as though they were grooming him for the first team post considering Kewell's short contract. He's actually done a great job with the youths and having listened to him in a recent fans podcast he strikes me a a very amiable and enthusiastic guy. I think we could do worse.

Never seems to get that far though Lee, incoming manager usually been tapped up by the owners in advance and brought in to help the exiting manager move any furniture he may have in the manager's office.
