I think Luke will be seriously in the running.

Knows the club, knows how to use the Football Radar data, most of the Notts crowd will support him. Comes with a proven #2

I agree. With a decent defence, playing the attacking football he did. Albeit in NL.

 

Some question his loyalty.

His loyalty is to his family, they lived in Swansea. As a man who worked away from home, he was able to wake up in rhe same house as his kids.

No brainer.

 

 

Another vote for LW

Absolutely not Williams for me. 

Going back often doesn't work unless you have something amazing, like Moyes and Everton - and he was there several years and away for several years before going back. 

Williams had one season against teams who were - in the main - far worse than us and half a season where frailties were beginning to show.

It was a great ride, full of memories, but thanks and no thanks.

He's had a season where he was relegated and a season where he was sacked, I'd rather have someone with a better EFL record.

Having said that, I fully expect someone I've never heard of.

I don’t think it’ll be Luke Williams but I wouldn’t be against him returning as I do think he just fits us. The players were always behind him and he definitely had a charisma that Stuart seemed to lack. Who knows what might have happened had Swansea never approached us…

I’d be happy with Des Buckingham but like others have said I’m not convinced he would drop into League 2. I'd also be interested by Stephen Bradley at Shamrock Rovers, again not sure if he would drop to League 2 as he's seemingly quite happy over in Ireland.

I noticed Brian Barry Murphy on BetVictor's list. A name mentioned last time, before SM's appointment. Maybe something in it?

Another name on the betting list

 

I still hope we go for a head coach that has a good record with maintaining a decent stay at his previous trans, with a strong focus of tactics and in-game understanding. Someone not afraid to make changes early when they are needed, and ideally not Like Williams or someone unknown. Experience would get the best out of this squad, as much as I like Williams we have moved on.

Jack Wilshere would be a marquee signing.... but risky

No idea how Mathieu Baudry has ended up on the list and I’d be really surprised if it was him as he has no coaching experience and is now a finance manager. Are we hiring for one of those at the same time?!

I don’t think the odds list has much credit to it right now, out of all the names that aren’t something stupid like 50-1 the only likely names in my opinion are Adam Hinshelwood, Luke Williams and Jon Brady. The first two are very similar in terms of style, the only difference in my eyes is Luke Williams probably a tad better and available for free!

Jon Brady is a really intriguing option though, because he’s a tad different with his approach but he finished 4th and then 3rd with Northampton. I think he would be more than happy with our set-up too. He did an interview with Gab Sutton where he suggested he intends to bring in a specialist in-possession coach with an elite developmental background for his next role…

I’m not sure if Jack Wilshire would drop to League 2, I wouldn’t be against the idea especially if he had a couple of more experienced coaches alongside him.

The odds are a bit of a joke right now. Joao Alves leads them, which says it all really. Brian Priske seems to be getting the "Danish bloke" bonus this time. He is a real football manager, but given that every team he's managed so far has been in the Champions League or Europa League he's not a realistic choice. It shows how unrealistic some of our fans are though.

Brady sounds like a really good call - someone with proven success at this level who would fit in with our model.

I think the club will consider the "proposed coaching team in totality" rather than just the front main man?

A new name entered the betting today G Riddersholm

 

Please can we a have Head Coach with plenty of league 2 & or league 1 experience?

A Head Coach who has a good knowledge of league 1 & 2 players & good idea of the players required to get us out of this league.

No more non league experiments. Let's get the real McCoy this time. 

I don't see McCoy in the latest betting odds

Top Jockey but no footy experience!!!!!
