Who should replace bond?

[RHB]

If we have a new manager appointed before Saturday I have a feeling he'll be watching from the stands and Waddock takes charge.

So if the football is total rubbish we can spend our time scrutinising the Director's box. Yep, good call @Ricey.

 

[Ricey]

Lincoln job now available, wonder if that will cause issues for our search?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

How does a new manager even get himself in place by Saturday? Even if he’s not currently in a job there’d be too much to do to be in place this week.

Waddock will take the team Saturday for sure

Our last two managers both took the team for their first games.

They may rely on those already around but the direction would come from the new man.

And whilst nothing has been announced/agreed it is conceivable that the new man has already been watching us - if not live then going back over the tapes.

Ron aint rushing this one.....expect at least a fortnight

Does Milligan even have his coaching badges yet?

He has been taking them, as I read somewhere that Ron Martin promised him a coaching role with the youths, U23s or even the first team, when he hangs up his boots. Coaching has been a long time ambition of his. So yes he should get a coaching role in the future, maybe even now with the new Manager. As for being the new Manager....no.

Perhaps Ron will go after the man he wanted to take over from Chris , before Harry recommended Mr Bond

A fortnight from when though?

The rumours started nearly a fortnight ago.

FWIW I'm fine with a caretaker manager and taking our time but ever since Tilly's success forced Ron's hand, Ron seems averse to caretakers and likes to have the new man in within a week.

Financially it would please Ron immensely if he allowed Waddock a game or two and 2/3/4 or even 6 points would give him every reason to save a few quid and give it to Waddock

Coaching has been a long time ambition of his. So yes he should get a coaching role in the future, maybe even now with the new Manager. As for being the new Manager....no.

U32s? How does that work?

I know he is eyeing a move in to coaching... just unsure how far he's gone down that route so far.

Were the under 32s started when we kept bringing old boys to the club?

Sorry guys, I meant U45s.

 

[The Dirty One]

Sorry guys, I meant U45s.

Maybe P45's would be a better call with some of these guys?

I’m trying to keep the faith but does anybody else have a bit of a feeling of sad in the pit of their stomach? As though what should be the most important appointment in some years at SUFC is going to end up being completely disappointing and underwhelming?

Yep... I have a feeling that it's going to be a Waddock/Milligan combo.

More underwhelming than Bond was?

I'm not against an under the radar appointment. Sometimes the ones that seem the most meh turn out to be good. Steve Thompson exceeded all expectations whereas the likes of Wignall, Little, Newman, Whelan were poor. Who was calling for Tilly to be given the job but that turned out to be a masterstroke!

Do tell...

 

[Callum]

No I don’t think Waddock will get the job temp yeah it could be whoever comes in has to keep the coaching staff as it is who knows.

 

[C C Csiders]

U32s? How does that work?

Excellent and Phil Brown in charge of the over 32s

 

[Callum]

Darren currie from Barnet in the frame I know CP tweeted there were no truth in him being linked mind you I think a few managers will be linked with us

Surprisingly good coverage on Southend on BBC East tonight, including footage of Ron arriving at RH and Chris Phillips interviewed! Apparently Ron's phone has been ringing quite a bit since the weekend...
