Hemel latic Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 When I'm recruiting we don't tell the other candidates they've been unsuccessful until our preferred candidate has accepted the job. I don't expect the club are any different. It has to be right they told Thompson he hadn't got it before any wider announcement, his decision how to deal with that. There might be an announcement this afternoon, perhaps there are negotiations taking place if the new appointment is a current manager which might delay the announcement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that Gateshead have got players who can pass a football and not Sheron, Shelton, Hogan, Reid, Fondop, Nuttall who treat the football like a hot potatoe and couldn’t trap a bag of cement ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowt wrong with that on a pitch providing the football played backs it up. Would love to watch a gobby team who play like they do honestly. Our pitch is made for it also. I was seriously impressed with Notts County last year and how they played. No matter the pressure or time in the match, they rarely knocked it long and just waited for the correct moment to pass forward and looked a proper team. Far better than Wrexham, which is being shown in the current season. (Wrexham just had the quality players to drag them through). Honestly, we string 3 passes together at Boundary Park and people moan that no every pass has gone forward. Dave Bradley, I love his contribution to the podcast and phone in and respect him for that. However, I was stood behind him at the Kidderminster away game and all he would do is continually shout pass forward at the top of his lungs. It’s ridiculous and embarrassing.

Ofcourse but any style that amy manager wants to implement will. I think with someone like that you will see a shift to a more expansive style which will lead to more goals but also some daft goals conceded by playing out from the back if we persist with it we would likely cut out the mistakes abd make it work so I'd be more than happy to have that put in place.

ROKERITE Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 1 hour ago, GlossopLatic said: The Cowleys are after the Sheffield Wednesday job it suggests they are aiming somewhat higher than Oldham. We are currently mid table in the national league the candidates available reflect that. Dan Cowley It is highly unlikely Cowley will get the Wednesday job. I certainly hope he doesn't as I fear it would be managerial career suicide. I think the Cowleys would be a perfect choice for Bradford City. If not there Gillingham is another good opportunity. But my fear is a month from now all those vacancies will have been filled and the Cowleys will still be sitting at home, nine months plus since they left Pompey. Oldham Athletic sitting mid-table in the fifth tier is a great situation to take over. I could see the Cowleys being very interested in building something at Boundary Park as they did at Sincil Bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they would be too keen on going back down to the 5th tier again the fact their name isn't in the frame suggests that they aren't interested they will have known about the position being vacant and applicants being invited to apply.

Disagree. They’ve done that, could well think they’ve nothing to prove at this level, and there are always League jobs coming up. I could believe that it would be a desperation mentality for them to go for us. However..,,.I wouldn’t say no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. I found it interesting what Alex Reid was saying last night. Unsy wanted us to play forward at every opportunity (not what the players did), which can be counter productive as you risk losing the ball. He mentioned ST was a lot more calculated in his approach, which meant the players could be slower in the build up, I think we did see that. Maybe the fact the players felt under Unsy they had to get the ball forward led to them panicking on the ball and us not retaining possession? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 All seems a bit of a mess this. Why tell ST he hasn't got the job until you've got the new man in? We now look like going into an FA Cup tie with an interim for the interim in charge. There's been a split with regards to who the manager should be, it will be 4 weeks on Saturday since Unsworth was sacked. They need to get a grip of the situation and get the new man in asap now. Imo they dithered getting rid of Unsworth and are now compounding the error. Can you be confident they will really get the man the board wants now and if not will he get the support, backing and time Unsworth was afforded? We are in danger of setting up the next man to fail.
