Yes, he knows the club, but just because he has been close to Evatt and Kelly doesn’t mean he has gleaned some of their quality by osmosis or whatever other wonderful means may be possible. I’m sorry but one season at Bolton u/23’s for a fledgling coach is not the standard of manager we should be settling for. No other EFL side would take a 1-year experienced coach regardless of being an ex-player or not. Not for me Clive.
The article in the Bolton paper suggested that Hird might need another year. May be right.

Williamson sounds a better bet. Hartlepool are also interested in him.

Wouldn’t be surprised if a North East-based manager stays in the North East to be honest.

Was thinking the same myself, but money talks. It would also be good to have another Gateshead based manager as we know what the last one did! :D

I've come to view Grayson the way I did Cooper (and Brown come to think of it). Lots of experience and a reputation built mainly on his experience at Preston and Leeds. But that was some time ago. He's bounced around a bit since but really didn't set the world alight at Fleetwood at all.

A lot of people will still see him as a decent name. But he would be more of the same for me as a Barrow manager. His appointment clears the way as far as I'm concerned.

We’ve dodged a bullet there; they are welcome to him

If we are speaking to a manager who's season hasn't finished yet I wouldn't expect news anytime soon.

Fair comment but if we are doing everything above board why can’t we name who we are head hunting, for me I can’t even weigh up why the club put the statement out anyway as could all go to rats.

The same think happened with Bradford this time last season - they were after the Morecambe Manager (it didn't work out well though) and didn't announce him until Morecambe had won the flay off final
Lancashire;- born and bred

Garrard didn’t want it we move on. If they are speaking to the lad at Halifax,it’s going to be kept under wraps, why would Halifax want their players thinking the managers leaving , whilst in the play offs.
