@DangerousSausage maybe an untrusted "sauce" Ketchup later????

Not really @DangerousSausage, he only has 100 odd Twitter followers.

Name thrown out there that I never thought about is Mark Bonner, sacked in November by Cambridge Utd. Could be thought of as being slightly unlucky as I’ve always considered them to be punching above their weight for the last few years.

 

another name to throw into the cauldron

I am very sceptical about Luke Williams leaving, but knowing my luck it will be confirmed the moment I post this.

Our media has the tendency of picking up on the rumours spread by pranksters. It might not be the case in this instance, but it's funny how it's meant to be announced yesterday and hasn't happened as of now. Notts might be delaying it whilst they secure a replacement, however, I think even that would be quite unlikely. The thing that makes me slightly nervous is how we haven't released any pre-match press conference videos.

We have at times this season seen them delayed, but this is the only concern for me right now which might back up this rumour. Swansea City might be closer to Luke Williams, but I can see it being similar to Ian Burchnall situation at Forest Green if true.

I don't think we have a game which would explain the lack of videos.

@Ohh Tommy Johnson I remembered it's postponed. ???? 

It's official - on the offy now.  Statement: Luke Williams - News - Notts County FC

 

It sounds like they will take their time and things will carry on as usual.  For now JoB, Weal and Alves will be taking over ft team affairs.

Nathan Rooney - Formerly managed Bruno's Magpies in Gibraltar and has worked at Port Vale, Crawley, Blackburn and Fleetwood in coaching roles. Highly thought of in the game and a great up and coming coach

Andrew Crofts - Current first team coach at Brighton. Was on Oxford's wishlist before they appointed Des Buckingham. 

Paddy McCarthy - Current assistant manager at Crystal Palace. Former coach of their under 21's as well. Highly thought of at Palace

Stephen Bradley - Current boss of Shamrock Rovers. Won 4 league titles in a row and was close to the Lincoln City job a year or two ago.

Harry Watling - Current Rangers first team coach. Used to be at Watford and QPR. He was on Plymouth's shortlist recently 

we can say one thing is for sure, the reedtz wont appoint the next manager just so that they can be pally with an ex premier league player unlike alan hardy. so, that would keep all of the names like wayne rooney, frank lampard etc out of the picture.

i would not mind someone like gary rowett for a change instead of someone unknown.

i think whoever comes in needs to have something about them and some experience within life in the football league.

Now Luke has officially gone, I’ll back Stephen Bradley the current Shamrock Rovers manager. Ticks all the boxes in that they play the same style of football, press high and do it all in a 3-4-2-1 formation. And he’s done very well, you can’t fluke winning 4 Irish League titles in a row. On paper he seems perfect.

I don’t think it’s too unrealistic either. It’s also the end of the season in Ireland now, and surely, he’s achieved all he can there. Just be a case of how settled is he in Ireland...

Wayne Rooney’s out of work, just saying. 

My site manager, who's a Birmingham fan, messaged the group chat earlier with the message directed to me as "Rooney's available mate ????" 

Whoever the Reedtz decide to bring in as Luke Williams replacement, I trust that they'll make a good appointment.

There are some really good shouts here. Maynard would be interesting as he's had Wealdstone punching well above their weight. We might have beat them comfortably last season, but their budget was a world away from ours.

Whoever we get, we can be pretty sure that we won't be getting a celebrity appointment. It may well come from leftfield, as the board does tend to look at their track record as a coach rather than as a manager.

An interesting one to view

@Piethagoram i was like who is that at first but i have listened to two interviews from him, one from a tour and this. i think he speaks well but would he come to us for a chance to gain first team managerial experience? i am not so sure.

 

If the brothers past 2 appointments are anything to go by, we're unlikely to know who is the running until the appointment. No doubt the usual social media culprits will claim they are 'in the know' but they'll likely know diddly squat. 

The only way we tend to find out about these movings is if we're after a manager currently employed and the leak will come from the other club, see Altrincham and Swansea.
