Won the NL by default etc etc. He seems to be hacking it quite well in the EFL I’d say. I’m sure there were quite a few Bolton fans who were saying the same thing at the time.

Find it strange that some think that being a successful manager in the NL somehow does not qualify as such in the EFL. IMO there are at least half a dozen sides this season in the NL that would have probably beaten us home or away.
Agreed. I'd be very happy with Wild, Ardley or Garrard although I'll be pleasantly surprised if we see any of them at Holker Street. All managers with decent records and knwoledge of the good players at National League level which is a better place to recruit from for clubs with limited financial resources.
Prepare to be pleasantly surprised ! :o

In what way would it be a "great appointment"? What's her experience of L2 football?
She’s a winner - won everything there has to be won in the women’s game. The standard of the WSL is not too dissimilar to League 2 in all honesty.

Come on, BoD, let’s be pioneering! :D

Same standard as league Two my ars.

Pete wild will be announced this week.
So your saying Wild isn’t our first choice?

I’ve been critical of Wild’s achievements, but I’m prepared to give him a chance, from tomorrow

"Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure..."

Said a tight-lipped spokesman for the club last night.
We will follow the soccer, over land and sea...

And for those who don't do Twitter, there's a picture of the First Team Manager's office with the caption: "The day is almost upon us..."
Don't let the old man in.
