The Poll: Version 2 vote for your choice of manager

[JonnyB86]

Always with the meaningless stats. How many of those seasons have those three managers that you've cited been in the same division? I'm guessing not many.
Also the percentages don't mean a lot unless there's some context to who they were managing - to put that simply, a boss of Burnley with a win percentage of 35% is more impressive than a boss of Man City with a win percentage of 45%.
It gives no indication of the style of football, nor if they're capable of motivating a struggling bunch of players.

So to say those three are better than Cox because they had a handful more wins is just nonsense.

If you're using stats to decide who you want as boss, then you're naive at best.

Yeah can see your argument, but surely they can give some sort of guidance.

So dont agree that they are meaningless.

Mills has taken a club York City back to football league, a target we want to achieve, so has experience, one of the favourites in the poll is Gary Holt who has no record at all.

I wasnt saying they were better than Cox, only stats were comparable.

Who would your choice be and why?

Who is Gary Holt? What's his background like? Worth a punt?

[madplumpy]

Ain’t gonna be Grant Holt. He’s signed for Kings Lynn.

[blue future]

Why wouldn't i? I support the club. Just dont support alot of what the owners do.

Because you obviously have half a brain cell and also want your club to do the best through thick and thin. Dare i say a true supporter. Should have reasoned minds like yours on here

Hate to say what I said last time round pre MM but Graham Westley is the man. Won't be pretty football but will knock a few heads together, won't take any crap from players, has a track record of finding rough diamonds and getting promoted out of the division and used to working with a 'challenging' chairman.

[Colin Appleton]

Billy Heath Halifax Manager, who also had success at North Ferriby. Both part-time teams who are/did overachieve under his stewardship.

Certainly a pain in the backside and annoying when you are up against him but he certainly fights the corner of his team and turning us into a nasty team that nobody likes but yet gets results will do for me.
As they say it's a results game. MM was a nice guy but results were awful. Rather have it the other way round with Westley

Well he is top of my stats of the contenders

[McMark]

Certainly sounds like there will be no rushing into the next appointment; http://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/blu ... game-41116

That's what we need

[Soulboy]

We require a proven manager with league experience and a direct no nonsense approach.
Our current squad are being paid very good money to do what many do for nothing as a sport.
They need a manager who will lead and knock them into performing.some need a push others require a kick. Fact of life in any business.
We need to see a barrow soccer team who go out on the field with a sense of what it means given our history and give their all and that bit extra. We've had teams like that before let's see such again please.

[NORTHERNSOUL]

Keith Curle will be free in the summer

But then again give us our 50 grand back and you can have him tomorrow.

[mightywhite]

Find the number of people on here advocating direct no nonsense approach etc etc laughable. People complaining football isn't good enough and then want back what we had!

Because what we had was our best chance of promotion probably
