Fair play to the club. Showing some ambition in who we are trying to get in. Would have loved Jones too.

Doesn’t sound like we’ll be reaching out to Holloway then.

Perhaps we offered him "the cheap option" that's why he wasn't interested!
Anyway good to see we're acting quick, I'm surprised that Dunne & Maher are both also jumping ship, does that mean even more compensation?

Why would he choose us when obviously he has had a lottery win pay off from Stoke.
He is probably still being paid and would have to sacrifice that if he joined us.

Disappointing he turned us down but great to see us being ambitious. Can't blame him for thinking he could still get a Championship/bigger L1 club.

He had a potentially easy job at Stoke with that squad and finances and did an awful job. L1 I guess I could understand, but I am a tad surprised tbh |

What ambitious manager is going to come here; we are a hard sell right now, you can imagine WAQ discussing the USP of the stadium "Only club in football league to have 3 tents; We have the south tent, the south east tent and the north west tent..."

Nonetheless, I'm not surprised he thinks he can do better than us on and off the pitch and I wouldn't be surprised to see him replace Kenny Jackett at Pompey or join a team of that ilk. |

Was just about to post this. Thought we had no money and were looking at the cheap option?? Shows we are looking at decent candidates atleast. If no-one wants to come here because of the state of the place then you can look at the non-cheap option as much as you want. I said at the start that Jones wasn’t realistic for that reason and it’s no surprise he has looked at us and thought “f**k that!” I totally forgot about Heckingbottom though, surprised he wasn’t in the initial bookies lists and I think he could be better than nothing. Although I would be sceptical of the article saying about a defined football philosophy etc because what we need is continuity not someone ripping it all up at this stage and Jones would almost certainly have done that so in some ways whilst he was the best name it’s perhaps best for both of us that he turned us down. |

Could be another GC unless he completely commits to Moving. I doubt he would be happy with our pre-historic facilities either. |

Heckingbottom has failed everywhere since his initial caretaker role at Barnsley.

If they don't think they will be offered the manager job, it's not surprising. As a new manager, will probally want to bring in staff that he knows. That's why most coaches, follow the manager. |

Jones pay off probably has a clause if he gets another job soon so maybe he wants a paid break, shows we are looking at all options quite impressive. wonder what sort of calibre have applied please not cotterell.

Ian Culverhouse should be interviewed. As number two alongside Paul Lambert they took Norwich City from League One to the Premier League in successive seasons. Culverhouse did all the preparation and coaching during that time and was responsible for identifying a lot of the players they brought in. Assistant to John Still at Dagenham and were in 2nd place in the Conference when he left to manage Kings Lynn Town. At King's Lynn he led them to 2nd spot in the Southern League Premier Division with 100 points, but missed out on promotion following a defeat in the play-off final. At the end of the 2018/19 season, Culverhouse led Kings Lynn to promotion finishing 2nd in the Southern League and winning the play-offs. This 19/20 season Culverhouse and Kings Lynn sit top of the National League North table with 44 points from 20 games and also beat higher level Dover Athletic in the FA Trophy. At Kings Lynn he developed Cameron Norman who moved to Oxford Utd last season and Frazer Blake-Tracy who moved to Peterborough Utd this summer. www.pinkun.com/local-football/king-s-lynn-town/ian-culverhouse-and-lincoln-city-1-6262309Paul Lambert said about him in the past: “My assistant boss Ian Culverhouse has a real eye for a player. If he reckons we should go for someone I will back his judgement 100 per cent.” “With the quality of the coaching, Ian has been equally as important as anybody who has ever played under me,” beamed Lambert. “I’m grateful to have such a good assistant. “When Ian suggests something in a game, I’ll say ‘go with it’. I trust him 100 per cent and if it goes wrong, I’ll take the blame.” As a youth team manager/coach at Wycombe, Culverhouse was partly responsible for helping to coach and develop the likes of Jordan Ibe, Matty Phillips, Matt Ingram, Josh Scowen, Khadeem Harris and Matty Cash. As Wycombe First Team Assistant Manager they finished 7th in the League Two play off positions during the 07/08 season. |
