How! will we attract Jack Hargreaves? I thought he was out of town?
He'd certainly be "steady" and "calm", but cant see him bringing excitement back to BP (you realise very few people will know who you are talking about!)

Well I agree that we need a new manager swiftly but that is a distinctly underwhelming menu of options if you ask me - mostly populated by people who either aren’t managing now or who haven’t really achieved anything in management but who have been listed because they have some form of past connection with the club. Futcher, Hargreaves, Stockdale....? Why? They wouldn’t be getting a look in elsewhere at EFL level. Chuck in a couple of others who would probably be fairly cheap so would enable us to carry on in the same vein trying to hold our own without really making a statement or investing in some ambitious objectives and you’ll forgive me if I don’t get too excited.
I do hope we are going to make a well considered and purposeful statement of intent with this next appointment because this depressing, repetitive pattern of being utterly sh1t in the end is sapping my will to go on paying any interest.
In reality does anyone on here know who’s applied?

No, and people saying ‘I think it’s out of this shortlist’ are just clutching at straws but it’s pretty depressing to think that we might appoint Chris chuffing Hargreaves, or Ben Futcher or someone else who ‘knows the club’, as though that’s of any relevance. I can’t say the prospect of appointing nearly every name quoted has captured the imagination. I almost hope we go for someone not yet mentioned. The only two proffered so far that I think show some intent and promise would be Tisdale and Heckinbottom.

He could be the new manager, but not sure... How...... as he's dead! Bunty's gone but Fred's still around!

personally I think its out of 5
Nolan Hargreaves Wild Stockdale Weaver
No chance of Weaver, his dad is one of the richest men in Yorkshire and his job at Harrogate must be one of the safest management jobs around.

Futcher, Hargreaves, Stockdale....? Why? They wouldn’t be getting a look in elsewhere at EFL level.
I think that’s a pretty good litmus test right there. If they wouldn’t make the shortlist of any other League Two club then why should they make ours? Sentimentality and ‘connections’ don’t cut it - they very, very rarely pay off in football. That said; realism is needed. How attractive is this role right now? This club is a manager’s graveyard. Since 1994, 25 years, only two managers have evaded the sack - Slade MK1 and Hurst (I’m purposely not differentiating between sackings and mutual consent, because that’s just bóllocks). No manager sacked by this club since 2004 (Paul Groves) have gone on to manage another league side since. It looks unlikely Jolley will buck that trend. Come here, get it wrong (as most do) and your career is over. I reckon our list of prospects is a mix of League Two semi-failures (Nolan, Kewell), aspirational non-leaguers (Weaver, Evatt, Flowers) and first-time chancers (who knows?). It’s entirely possible many of the above don’t fancy it for a variety of reasons. My, raw, gut feeling is we’ll end up with someone even more obscure of any of those I’ve mentioned, as we did with Jolley who to his credit kept us up and stabilised the club. Time will tell.
