The Betting compilation is simply uninspiring. Sorry but it is. Like someone else said I hope that its no one on that list. Our Chairman did say he was surprised at the calibre of some applicants which I would hope means it is no one on that list.
Just out of interest, what sorts of names would you find inspiring?
Not the same old names, and not names who have failed multiple times in short-term jobs. I'm being slightly hypocritical and fickle because someone like Hasselbaink would have been an inspiring name after his Burton job, but not so much after QPR and Northampton.
Nathan Jones AND Derek Adams excited me last time, and Ryan Lowe looks like he's in the Jones mould with added actual managerial experience.
So basically three types of candidate appeal most to me...
1) assistants at good clubs with an attacking philosophy itching to be the main man (this was Nathan Jones, maybe Adam Sadler this time)
2) managers in a different country who've seen success and want a go in England (this was Adams, maybe someone like Markus Anfang or a lower league German/French manager this time)
3) coaches with recent success at a lower level playing attacking football (Lowe, maybe Tim Flowers)
