Next manager

[FulwellBri]

Wouldn’t be my choice at all

He's out of work. Stendel ie out of work
Parkinson is probably willing to accept a lower package

 

[Sheep Farmer]

Aye echo reporting having interview or had

Are they just going with whoever's had the most recent interview or is someone feeding them info? I'd say they'll interview a bundle of the "best" candidates and then make a decision when they've seen them all - isn't that how appointments usually work?
Can't see why odds would be changing much based on prospect, surely moving with money which must be based on guesswork

 

[FulwellBri]

Stendel, spoken to, short odds, now right out.
Ainsworth spoken to, short odds, now right out.
Parkinson, reports of an interview, short odds.
Phillips, publicly stating he wants the job and that he's applied, odds shortening.

I wouldn't read anything into Parkinson just yet.

If I had the power I would prefer never to see parkinson, ainsworth, cook associated with our club

You might be right but how would anyone know

Surely folk don't think that just because someone's being interviewed none of those previously seen are in with a shout

I just think that is the way donald operates.
I really reckon he blew all our dosh punting on grigg and its come a cropper.
We are travelling coach class..imo

Maybe so but Donald will be well aware of how screwed we'll be if he gets the wrong manager. I don't think he'll go for the budget option to save a few quid when there's many millions on the line.

I meant how would anyone know that Parkinson was cheaper

Tbh I believe he did exactly that with ross.
I just dont believe he was the only and best option available when appointed. He would have been on a pittance at st mirren

Some thing as simple as somebody seeing him enter the sol and hoying £100 can swing that market mate

The right manager can save us thousands by getting the best out of the players we've got - not to mention getting us out of L1

 

[FulwellBri]

It would be a good assumption. We would never know. I am happy to assume that in football circles stendel's stock is much higher than that of Parkinson's hence the latter would be cheaper

What odds did you get ?

According to oddschecker hes 25/1 with William Hill...very tempted

I got 13’s made but he’s drifted further, might have another £20 on if I can find 25’s.

 

[OldNewtown]

I think they've worked together before as manager and assistant so there's a working relationship there but yeah for me there is some sentiment involved.

I tend to think that it doesn't really matter who the assistant is if the manager is good so you may as well get some bonus points from nostalgia and there wouldn't be any better coaches for strikers in league one. I'm not convinced by him as a manager but he certainly knows what he's talking about in terms of scoring goals.

Could I just mention Clough and Taylor
Yes I know Clough was still good after they parted but together they were better

Starting to come back in on Skybet might be good timing

Ditto MoN and that fat ex winger who wouldnt join him when he came to us..Robertson?

 

[Sheep Farmer]

Looking at oddschecker Parkinson's been offered the job and told some folk!!! 1/16 ffs

 

[Ned Doig]

You'd think that, but the market isn't currently showing it.

 

[FulwellBri]

O

Looking at oddschecker Parkinson's been offered the job and told some folk!!! 1/16 ffs

Oh well div 1 for at least another season after this one.
May as well have saved money and kept ross if this is true

Agree
Under Peter Reid. Bobby Saxton's role was much underestimated.
Niall Quinn thought he was one of the best coaches he'd worked under.
As well as being completely mental
