I hope I'm jumping the gun and will be able to delete this thread, but the signs aren't good. So ... who would you like to succeed LW if he goes and who do you think the owners would go for?

Ian Burchnall has been seen at the Lane against Donny, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's in the frame - he's assistant manager at Wolves and might have been keeping tabs on Ollie Tipton, who played that day.

Any other ideas or names? 

It won't be Burchnall.  I reckon he was there about Tipton.  I don't see what returning brings to him, never mind us.  

I think it most likely that we will see someone from the NL, or someone in a similar position to Burchnall or Nolan at a Championship club.  One thing is a sure thing, they will be a modern Head Coach, as opposed to a Manager, they will be young and hungry and play a modern style of football.  Other than that.. who knows?!!

Oh helllllllll no to Burchnall. 

Wayne Rooney’s out of work, just saying.

I'm not laughing  @Fan of Big ToneI think you'll find the better half of his former partnership at Derby somewhere around the Humber estuary.

 

I'm sure the the Reedtz brothers know who they want. I don't think we'll see any one on the bookies list, or any former Managers of Notts 

Who ever they choose may well be an upcoming young Coach who wants to play open football, but with a hint of caution too with a plan B if plan A doesn't work.

The owners have picked well up to yet and I'm confident they'll do it again.

Chris and Alex seem well prepared for any circumstance and I won`t be surprised if they already have a narrowed down shortlist which include some slightly unknown managers fitting their vision of open and dominating football.

I have no idea who it will be, but they normally go a bit left field. If I was to pick someone who like to play football and is ready for the move up, it would be Stuart Maynard.

How much does Steve Cooper really love the city of Nottingham, he’d have had a good pay-off after being sacked… Surely that can compensate for the fact we can’t pay him £10k a week…

I’m not really that inspired by anyone in the league below in terms of being at the same level as Luke Williams. Stuart Maynard is an interesting shout but the only memory I have of Stuart Maynard’s Wealdstone is how we beat them comfortably, twice. Was that just down to having superior players, surely a well-coached team would’ve done a bit better.

I really don’t know, though, it’ll probably be someone I’ve never heard of! ????

Paul Cook of Chesterfield could be considered. He guided Chesterfield & Portsmouth to League 2 titles 2013/14 & 2016/17 respectfully. He also guided League 1 Wigan to the title in 2017/2018.

Edited January 4, 20242 yr by Robbie

Seriously doubt he would leave Chesterfield for us @Robbie, plus he doesn’t really fit with the obscurity of our last two selections. Would be an interesting choice though.

I reckon it is more likely to be another youth team / no. 2 appointment and not that old.

Well if the make the decision of the new manager on who looks like Williams they could ask to speak to Pep Guardiola. ????

The current Manchester United Manager will have a lot more free time soon and would do well at a proper club!

Is Agent Trev a decent source @Piethagoram? A lot of rumours sites just regurgitate message board speculation.
