Quoted from AdamHaddock
My preference would still be Evans, Stubbs or Mackay if we could attract them but the more I hear about Bignot the more I'm warming to him. Jones would be welcome as well.

If the GTFC board are considering Knill, Robins or Wilcox then god help us


If anyone of those three were chosen, we are in for a melt down on here

My downer about Jones is the lack of recent experience and potential lack of knowledge of the non league scene where we need to look for bargains for up and coming players, not the journeymen that Jones will probably know from his last job.

By the way, has he got a job in any form of football currently, scouting, commentating etc??

That's what i like about Jones. His teams play attractive, attacking football.


Yes. He was a very good manager who could have been outstanding if he had not been almost forced out of the game by those false allegations. I felt he lost his spark somewhat through that. He was extremely good at Stockport and Southampton. He built some reasonable teams after that but maybe without quite the same pizazz even at Cardiff. Overall he only managed 3 promotions in 15 years.

I just don't think he would be right for us in terms of relevant recent experience though and there is the geography factor too.

1 in every 5 years. Positively Hurstian then.  

(though to be fair to Paul, it was a hard division to get out of).

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Ha but two ways of looking at that Kingston

One it should be classed much easier because it was a lower division
Two it was harder due to one automatic and one via play offs

Either way im grateful were out

That bit wouldn't worry me. He's from the north west and there are plenty of teams there and plenty of talented players from non league right up to the Premier League looking for opportunities. Teams like Morecambe and Accrington survive and compete because of it. Whether he is up to speed on this is another matter; we simply don't know. I'd be happy to see him here and he is probably looking for an opportunity to kick start his career, otherwise i don't think we'd be in with a shout but for his troubles.

Could the time have come to appoint a woman manager? If so, who might be the ideal choice?
