New Manager Thread

I'd be amazed if clem was putting information out in the public domain

I have heard that Wellens is Clems preference for manager. Would make sense for both parties. To be fair I think it’s a solid sensible choice for L2, at least Wellens would have some better backing rather than the usual wait until one week before season starts and pack the squad with the left overs no one else wanted, loans and journeymen policy that Power favours.

I hope that there is something in that and the stars align and it all comes to pass.  It would split the fan base though

90/10 in favour, I reckon.

If any new owner(s) want all supporters to get behind them, they would be well advised to avoid appointing Wellens.

I think rather a lot of people will feel uncomfortable getting behind somebody who they feel is a bottler. He'd have a lot of work to do to win some over. I won't be able to believe a word that comes out of his trap. Imagine if he starts coming out with the loyalty shite again?

That still doesn't make him a poor manager.

Did I say it does?

Whether or not he can replicate last season remains to be seen. (If he even does return)

[Quagmire]

Last year was fucking superb, and Wellens was a big part of that.
This year was fucking shit, and Wellens was a big part of that.

Both are best left in the past, we need the move forward and not back.

Oldham, this season & Salford suggests not....

See, I’m not convinced he ‘bottled’ anything. His stock was high before this season. He could have left for a bigger job then if that’s what he wanted. He didn’t.

I’d say once it became apparent that Power wasn’t going to back him - or, more likely, Standing wouldn’t - and he knew what was about to unfold he decided he’d been shat on, deceived and then left.

I’d love to see him back.

It's hindsight I know, but letting Twine go was a massive error. Could have kept us up

[blinkpip]

I'm all for it. If it wasn't for finances pulled away from him, we would've put a bid in for Yates earlier and actually offered a contract to Wollerey and Isgrove. The players loved playing for him and waited on for weeks expecting to be offered a deal.
Pitman was the only striker we signed as no other decent forward wanted to be paid peanuts for one year.
There so much to it in the background I'm sure.
The plus side is, that he knows the Club inside and out and majority of our contract players. He can get the ball rolling quicker than wasting a few months like Brown and Flipflop etc.
Power out.

So, let’s say for arguments sake - Salford didn’t come calling.
Would he have stayed here till he got sacked and a nice pay off ...or... would he have resigned on principle once he realised Power wasn’t going to back him?
