We need to sack our manager twice a year as this thread is hilarious with some of the names being offered up and rationale behind them.

It really doesn’t matter who gets the job because the same people who’ve moaned at the last 30 managers will be moaning about them in a month’s time anyway. These people are the ones who think football will be played as though it’s some sort of show reel of highlights either because they’re from the FIFA generation or because they’ve got some favourable memories of past Town sides.

Results business first and foremost but having a coach who wants to take the game to the opposing team rather than sitting back will be a good starting point for me anyway

Theres someone called Michael Pickett who’s just appeared on the odds at 12/1. Tried googling but found no info on who he is.


When it comes to him I'm on the fence

Nobody nose anything about him, but there’d be protests and people downing tools if he gets the job.

Wilson would probably be happy with his appointment but expect it will be a late announcement probably around the midnight hour!!

Quoted from davmariner
What the intercourse makes Leam Richardson remotely qualified for the Town job?


Some bits from his Wiki page:

Richardson was appointed as the permanent manager of [Wigan] on 21 April 2021 with three games still remaining. Richardson confirmed that Cook, who had recently been appointed manager of Ipswich Town, had asked him to join him in Suffolk as his assistant again, but he declined so he could remain at Wigan. He insisted however that there was no ill-will on either side and that they remain on good terms. He was able to keep Wigan up, avoiding relegation to League Two.

In November 2021 Wigan striker Charlie Wyke collapsed during training after suffering a cardiac arrest. Following his discharge from hospital Wyke praised Richardson's swift initiation of CPR saying: "...my life has been saved by the actions of the gaffer [Leam Richardson] and the club doctor Jonathan Tobin..."

During his tenure at Wigan Athletic the clubs owners recognised Richardson's outstanding achievements by naming the South stand the 'Leam Richardson' stand.

On 24 April 2022, Richardson was named the 2021–22 EFL League One Manager of the Season at the league's annual award ceremony.
Later that month Richardson led Wigan to promotion into the Championship as they finished the season as League One champions.

What's not to like about that?

Whoever the "data" recommends I hope they are better than some of the players that we were saddled with in the closed season. Someone ruthless enough to axe the non-performers and put some strong leadership back in the team. We have been too "nice" in what is a very rough-and-tumble division. I hate to say this but Stockport should be the model to emulate.
