Steve Cotterill at Burnley could be a candidate, or even Mick McCarthy.

Without wanting the noshit sherlock award, we aren't going to get a top manager!

Why or is it the we pay peanuts so we get monkeys syndrome?
The AntiChrist was rumoured to be on a fair screw when Phil G re-negotiated his contract you know!
Like I said Eddie Davis is the key man now and what he wants to do with his 90 odd percent of BWFC he owns.

A top manager is going to be a very rich man already, offering a big wage is'nt the final solution, that manager will also take into account what transfer and wage budgets they will have to work with before accepting any offer. Realistically we need to look for an up and coming manager who wants to test himself in the prem and fancies his chances at using us a stepping stone to a bigger club.

I'd be delirious with Boothroyd

Less so with Jewell

Not at all with Speed.

Batty can you enlighten me as to why you want Boothroyd. You've given a few hints that he would be your man but i ain't got a fecking clue why

Superb record with an unfashionable team

Great track record with bringing kids in the side

Firm but fair demeanour

Northern.

superb record of... creeping in through the play offs

then finishing bottom of the league

have i missed out. maybe it was his european cup win in his glittering, if ill-fated playing career

3 seasons at watford
1 promotion
1 relegation
1 currently top of league

works for me over Jewell.

The bottom line might clinch it!

I'd like George Graham out of exile please.

don't gloss over it, they were the worst team to come up to the league since sunderland the year before

I think that is irrelevant, I think he is a better candidate over Jewelinho any day.

Plus he'd spend less time at the sales than him

Jewell has a far better record than Boothroyd.

If you are comparing records there is no comparison.

3 seasons in the premiership, never relegated, with small unfashionable sides.

League cup final.

3 promotions.

Boothroyds sum total is one promotion and a cup run to the semi final coupled to the most disastrous season in recent premiership history.

re Allardyce and his 'fair screw at Bolton'

Just want to ask my man for details but I believe he's on about 3x as much at Newcastle, and he was on plenty at our place

Thats what a top manager wants, along with cash to splash

We aint getting one

erm jewell has been managing for 10yrs..........he's bound to have more in his locker

long term i think aidy is a better bet

Steve McClaren'll be looking for work soon... and what's Kevin Keegan up to these days?

But seriously... Boothroyd? An OK manager, but still with a lot to prove. Jewell would be the best of a mediocre bunch, as we've got to admit that in Premiership terms Bolton was always going to be mid-table at best without Allardyce. That is not going to attract the Houlliers or Deschamps of this world (some of the nuttier suggestions made around the ether today). Jewell is our level. Not a bad level, but our natural one all the same.

Anyway, Lee has gone, so be thankful for small (ahem) mercies. I wonder if Gartside's going to be reminded of how "better things come in smaller packages"?

I would also like Boothroyd. He never had a chance of keeping Watford up so in January he began planning ahead for this season. Look at Watford now, flying at the top of the championship.

Which is why I don't think we will be able to tempt him to come here.

Agree and Jewell is ambitious, something I like.

Boothroyd needs to get Watford up again and keep them there this time before I'd consider him.

How do you know he is

If we, a regular top 8 side with european football and world class players, can't attract Aidy Boothroyd, we're completely fecked.

I think he'd jump at the chance, not that he'd get anywhere near even an interview if i was choosing. In what way is planning for the Championship halfway through a Premiership season a redeemable quality? Or one that would be useful to us? What was his record like in his first 8 Premiership games in comparison to Sammy Lee?

I agree with Ratbert that Jewell is the best of a completely talentless bunch of managers, which is quite depressing in itself.

didnt jewell finish mid table with wiggin, then spend a pot of dosh on notables such as Heskey and take them to 17th?
