Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

[Tinpot and proud]

The same in the know told me in a bit more detail, Wild had accepted the job but then upon drawing up the contract Sparks said that there would be no fist pumps after victories “not on my watch” so Wild did a u turn and told him to get fucked.

Now this is the only ITK I’ve read that I believe.....and props to Wild for keeping it real !!!!!

Don't worry Bradford fans, you wouldn't have to worry about enduring Wild's fist-pump celebrations. He only does that after victories

every time Barrow play Bradford then...

Sparks claimed “We’re big time here. Having a massive orgasm on the pitch every time you beat someone no matter how crap they are, it just looks unprofessional, you’ve not won the World Cup Pete, have a word with yourself”.

 

[BarraMatt]

Long may he continue getting on everyone's nerves.

Funniest one was Wild jizzing himself after a 1-1 draw at Chesterfield after Chesterfield had equalised late on too.
Can’t even begin to imagine the mess if Halifax had actually won.

I like him, but he shits the bed against the bigger boys at an alarming rate. The only teams Barrow have beaten this season have been tinpotters or proper clubs that are having crap seasons. Quite how his Halifax team robbed 4 points off us in 21/22 I'll never figure out but them sitting back and paying way too much respect to the teams around them in the table is what ultimately held them back.

Sparks allowed a tiny car to deliver the ball onto the pitch, I’m fairly sure he’d be well up for the novelty of the celebratory fist pump.

Never understand why he's linked to bigger jobs for this reason.

He absolutely loves the we're hard done to underdog routine. There's no way he could hack it at Bradford. I literally couldn't think of a manager who would fit them less. Bradford need someone who can grab it by the bollocks and go we're the biggest club in the league, lets show it on the pitch.

I reckon it may even irk Barrow fans at times or my guess is it may start to.

Nope, he basically embodies all Barra fans who relish beating “massive clubs” perfectly....love the spite in the “worst we’ve ever played” mantra chants that “big” club fans use when wilds dark arts gets the better of them.

Have GY got a manager yet.. there’s someone not far away getting a few wins together…

We’ll pass thanks, winning games in a pub league beating teams that only have a fifth of his budget is not really all that impressive.

Yeah Kings Lynn are looking good tonight

Who? Ben Davis or Shaun Pearson?

Luke williams isn't the bookies' favourite to be Oxford manager. That's Des Buckingham. I didn't know who he was. He's the current head Coach of Mumbai City, but was born in Oxford.
The L1 forum on here reckons that Williams and Buckingham were both interviewed yesterday.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Two exciting talented young managers both with real potential. But this Buckingham fella is something special he's done a hell of a lot for someone so young.

Just assumed anyone called Des was at least in their 60’s, so was shocked when I Googled him.

 

[Stocky]

Williams checking his phone every 2 minutes on the training ground won't go unnoticed by the players of Notts.

 

[Conker]

Haven’t Notts previously commented on rumours? So got to be something in it, ie either he’s keen or Oxford approached him/both

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

No idea, have they? Bristol City was the last rumour but can't remember the club saying anything, not their thing.

Being a Stags fan you probably know better than me on that score.

What’s happening in Cleethorpes? Seems quiet.

No rush, unbeaten since Hurst left

Shortlist drawn up and initial chats took place. Some Interviews have taken place but more to come. Board don’t see any reason to rush a decision. Davies and Pearson doing well in caretaker charge. Davies not over keen on being a manager whilst although Pearson has ambitions, he lacks coaching badges currently.

 

[jacobncfc]

Had heard we were slightly baffled by the Oxford thing as there’d been no approach or anything, and Williams just confirmed to ITV News.

There are some experts on Twitter suggesting that ITV have created this as a deepfake, so maybe we'll never know.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

The fans will now hopefully calm down the level of worry and wild speculation on the Notts site has been embarrassing

Strange Luke is better than all that shit, he's a man of class. The owners and club are way better than all that nonsense. The brothers are probably unaware of all the social media kerfuffle.

 

[Stocky]

Sounds like Williams have flunked the interview.

Bottled another big game. Sheesh.

Thank god, stick to the training ground Luke where you do your best work..

Surprised more L2 managers weren't approached and given an interview. Clearly didn't make the grade in Oxford United's eyes.

He was busy earlier watching his performance in the latest Welcome to Wrexham episode, which he features heavily in.
