Ollie on talksport. Nobody’s contacted him from the club but they know where he is. Sounds like he wants it And it sounds like we don't want him. In any case, this feels like the sort of attitude you might get. Everyone else is applying for the job, whereas Ollie wants to be contacted by the club. Seems like he doesn't actually want it enough to bother applying.

Why would anybody want to ask him a question regarding something that is completely untrue?[/quote]
And those players he let us have are....

Sounds like he wants it If he REALLY wants it he would be pestering the club with phone calls and actually SHOW he wants it, but instead he will wait for the club to contact him such is the size of his ego. I think he is just enjoying having attention and the press lapping it all up again, it must have been a while.

As much as I would love Ollie to come back it seems like he won't apply and I don't get the impression that we will approach him.

I think he probably is enjoying every media outlet asking him about whilst he's happy to pick up his cheques at TalkSport, Sky Sports and QuEST. Who can blame him?

We are the biggest joke, just announce Lee Mansell already and put us out of our misery

We’ll spend hours on here debating who it might be, when in reality I think we all know who it will be. UTG

He wants then to come to him and he's placing himself above any other candidate which arguably is fair given history, but otoh, if I were the board, it would make me think twice, especially given his history of criticising the board.

Why would Ollie apply for the job? He is a well known Manager, his CV is well known and his love for our club is well known. If our Board are REALLY interested in him they will contact him and the same is probably the case for Steve Cotterell. I am sure Agents are also involved in the process and that is probably where most of the initial letters and CVs come from. What appears to be clear is that Graham Coughlan would like to bring some backroom staff to Mansfield which I would assume would be his assistant here and Maher. The Goalkeeping coach at Mansfield is Conrad Logan at present. A big name Manager is not necessarily the best root ie McGhee looked a good choice at the time!! We shall just have to wait and see. Paul Tisdale has been mentioned by some but the problem there for me is that we are close to January and in all honesty we don't have many players who fall into the natural style of football that Tisdale plays. I believe we need someone who plays similar football to what we are playing in many aspects but who has good contacts to get the 3 or 4 players we really need. It also seems likely they will need to work with TW and be willing to work within a defined budget which I imagine would not be very much!!

The reason he's not applying for it is because he did apply for it when DC left and didn't get any response from the club.

BP suggest the board contacted Nathan Jones over the weekend, in which case the idea of candidates applying is nonsense, they are headhunting.
Only one head to hunt. Bring him home.

the idea of candidates applying is nonsense The CEO has confirmed he has already been sent CVs which is in effect, people applying. We can head hunt as well to get our preferred candidate if they don't apply though.

Yeah I don't see any problem with the likes of Tisdale (for example, just picking someone at random) sending a CV over to the CEO BUT I'm pleased to see we have seemingly identified the types of managers we would like and are actively approaching them. As we should.

Holloway is the last thing we need. We need continuity right now, if it ain't broke don’t fix it. He would absolutely come in and completely tear everything up and have us playing a totally different brand of football, which would probably go tits up with his recent record.
