Is it time for a 'Managerial Merry go round' thread?

[Stocky]

Evatt now favourite for League One next manager to be sacked. 2/5.

Others propping him up. Garry Monk (2/1), Richie Wellens (6/2) and Nigel Clough (7/2).

Challinor was the bookies favourite this morning.

Challinor was the bookies favourite this morning.

Now odds on for Manager of the Month.

Top 6, still in the cup, just battered local rivals 5-0. All whilst trying to re-invent the game with doing all the passing.

Monk out

Cloughie? Nah, no chance. He's done well at this level.

He has done an outstanding job. But we all know what happens when you're not winning games. The pressure just seems to build and build.

Bolton's result under Evatt have always been a bit streaky but the problem he's got now is that it feels as though as soon as they have a bad result, their fans will be waiting to have a pop and that's when it starts to feel a little bit like the end of the road (not necessarily imminently).

Their Board must look at Schumacher being out of work and wonder whether the Evatt spell is nearing the natural end of it's course.

Bad result!!!!!!........We got beat at home by Exeter and drew with Shrewsbury.....Hammered by Huddersfield and Stockport.
Lucky to get results in other games
We have been found out and any team that presses us will get a result

Will take Schumacher or Skubala
Certain those two would get us out of this league with that squad

Bolton had a bad day on Saturday, they're obviously not that bad every week.

However what struck me more is that we played them 3 years ago in the cup and beat them as a National League side in a replay. And you look at them and Evatt and think they're not really any further along. They were a good League One club who thought crowd and budget wise they should be in the 2nd tier. And yet 3 years on that's still the case, same manager and same outcome at Edgeley Park, albeit we played them as peers this time around.

I know they had a close call last season to change all that being 90 minutes away but I can see why Bolton fans think it needs a pair of fresh eyes.

 

[Gi Dalor]

It’s the GAIS manager.
Again, optics from an excel spreadsheet, like our players which have not won a game this season yet.

Betting now closed.

– Well, I may be stupid to make a statement now, but what I feel about Gais and what we have going on here, I think we all, players and leaders are sensible enough to ... That is, leave for something else within the country, why should you do that? When we challenge the best teams and we are on our way to getting better all the time? I hope that most people here are too sensible to see what we have going on and that applies to myself too," Holmberg says to GP.
Magnus Sköldmark, technical director, speaks about the coach's future.
"We have asked the question extremely early on to "Fidde". Everyone knows that. As parties, we have agreed that we will finish the season first. Now we have done it. Now we will do the job with "Fidde", he says to GP.

Wasn't talking specifically about the Stockport game, I mean any bad result generally. He's now in a position where any negative result will see the 'Evatt Out' brigade appearing and that isn't a healthy position to be in.

 

[Luke Imp]

Burton linked with Rochdale's manager.

Shrewsbury linked with Ainsworth.

 

[thewwfc]

if the Ainsworth thing is true, it's awfully big of the Shrews fans to forgive this DISGUSTING TRAVESTY OF INJUSTICE that he committed as a player

would say the Evatt out is near 90% of the fanbase with only the deluded few left.........Slaughtered the players in a article today in the Bolton news
It is turning toxic
It is now only a matter of time even with his most loyal person being the Chairman/woman

There are some that haven't forgiven him! The officials that day still havent been forgiven either as we missed out on automatic promotion that season. Best of the names mentioned for us. Were used to anti-football under Cotterill

Will look out for your keeper going down 'injured' after 75 mins to have a chat with the physio!

Gareth Ainsworth now confirmed at Shrewsbury. Only Birmingham at home to start before another week off

I did say last season that I was mystified as to why Bolton fans rated him so highly. He's basically achieved the bare minimum that a manager of Bolton should achieve (I would actually say massively underachieved).

Yes, they were on their arse after being relegated to league 2, but my nan could have got them promoted from that league and she's been dead for 25 years! They still had a signicantly higher budget than anyone else in that league.

In league 1, they've flattered to deceive. Yes, they've come close but again, any half decent manager should be getting them in the playoffs, minimum and they should have easily been promoted by now.

I also said that if he didn't achieve promotion soon, then the fans would quickly get on his back as he's such an unlikeable, arrogant prick with a massive chip on his shoulder.

When I mentioned this on here, the Bolton fans proclaimed him as the new messiah. Hate to say I told you so....

I think that's the best decision that the Shrewsbury owners have made for a long time. One of my favourite Vale players of all time, someone who would run through brick walls and also seems a real decent man manager. I would have been happy with him at Vale.

His style isn't pretty, but you need a bit of grit, as from the outside it seems like you're conceding soft goals left, right and centre.

There was a rumour that Andy Crosby might have been going to you. You've escaped if true. Lovely guy, decent coach, but massively out of his depth as a manager. He's one of those that seems like a PE teacher, of which there are a few dotted around the leagues.

 

[Jimmy Anderson]

That's a fantastic appointment by Shrewsbury gives them a very good chance of avoiding relegation now. Ainsworth is a vale legend and did a very good job as Wycombe manager,firstly keeping them in the league and then getting them promoted from league two up to the championship.

 

[The Terminator]

Fair play to Shrewsbury, I didn’t envisage him ending up at the bottom of League One, literally the only option they could’ve gone for to go in with any experience.

Will be really intriguing to see if he can turn them around.

Thats the only managerial option available for the bottom of League One now gone……

Burton Albion still haven't confirmed (or decided upon perhaps) their new manager.

 

[Luke Imp]

It'll be interesting to see whether Ainsworth is one of those managers where it just works at one club. That's perhaps a little harsh given he's only had two managerial jobs and QPR seem a Championship side destined to be in the bottom third forever but it feels like he needs this Shrewsbury job to go well.

Style of play aside, he did like an experienced player and a player on their way down the leagues and Wycombe were an ageing side as well - I'm not sure Shrewsbury fit that, or their Board necessarily want to?

 

[thewwfc]

What won't get the headlines, but should, is that Ainsworth is bringing Richard Dobson (his no. 2 at Wycombe and QPR), who is the tactics nerd of the two. They are a double act, their success at Wycombe was far from being down to Ainsworth alone.

I know he did badly at QPR, but that club (by their own fans' admission) is a basket case, although there's some uncertainty at Shrewsbury regarding the ownership and all that, it can't be as much of a shitshow as QPR.

Motivation is also one of Ainsworth's key strengths which is half the battle in a relegation dogfight - he will have the players up for every game, and anyone who isn't will be dumped out of the door in short order.
