I have a sneaking feeling Marcus will be appointed-and he'll work his socks off to prove himself at this level. He's evidently from the 'school of hard knocks' and has an indomitable spirit-just what we need. Having worked in a near-bankrupt club in Solihull, I think he'll also value, and be prudent with, the resources he's given. Having been mentored by Dario Gradi at Crewe, he'll also have learned a great deal about coaching and improving young players and playing football the way it should be played. He'll do for me.

My problem with Bignot is it would be such a big step up for him and therefore one hell of a gamble, I can see safer options in the betting.

Is moving up from the division below, such a big step up?

"Marcus Bignot" is an anagram of "scrotum in bag". He must have balls.

Yeah true, but they're ( Solihull Moors ) not exactly pulling any trees up in the National League are they like Danny Cowley did with limited resources at Braintree, so I have my doubts.

Slightly different as Devonshire had established them as a solid conference side. Cowley did well because he took them to a new level.proof of how well both did is shown by brain trees present plight!

Updated what Bignot has achieved during his playing and managerial career.  Also, his wife is a Goalkeeper coach at Arsenal Academy.

I am not saying it is a major consideration but he is a free agent and does not have a contract at Solihull. Says something about his commitment and of course no compensation is due. Apparently not only does he manage the team but also as Director of Football he is very involved with off field activities at the club.

Lesser workload ,more money and better prospects I cant imagine why he wouldn't want the job?

Looking at that its clear that where it matters most ie management, he has had outside of his club little or no experience (women`s football statistics is irrelevant IMO)

Bignot---inexperience, young and ambitious----- bit of a risk---7/10

Jones--- big name, experienced got a point to prove ----Safer hands---8/10

Just to add that my opinion of these two for manager fluctuates daily, wish it was over and done with
