    Been speaking to a Leeds mate about Evans. Seen as a bit of a puppet for Cellino. Would fit in nicely here then.

    Bristol Rovers have received an approach from Leeds to talk to their Manager: Darrell Clarke

    Rovers not given permission as Leeds have not met conditions to be able to do so and Rovers have offered him a new 3 year deal.

    New favourite to become Bolton Wanderers manager

    James O'Rourke 4 hours ago

    Nigel Adkins has emerged as the new favourite to become the manager of Bolton Wanderers. The likes of Peter Reid and current Southend United manager Phil Brown remain in the spotlight as well, but the emergence of Adkins has to be of interest.

    Billy Davies enters talks with Charlton Athletic

    Adam Allcroft

    Billy Davies has entered talks with Charlton Athletic over the vacant manager’s job according to a report from the South London Press.

    The Addicks have been looking for a new manager after Jose Riga resigned as their head coach following the end of the season and the South London club are hoping to appoint the man who can take them back into the Championship.

    Please God no!

    Steve Evans, Billy Davies and Russell Slade are all pretty pants IMO

    Adkins is certainly my preferred. If he's not interested then tell him to go forth and multiply but please don't resort to one of those journeyman types listed above

    Let's face it though, any of them would be a significant improvement on the shower that they have employed as 'head coach' previously.

    Why?? Davies has been out of the game for a while.

    Steve Evans did a great job with Rotherham and Leeds' fortunes seemed to take a turn for the better when he took over there. Likewise, Orient fell apart when Slade left and i thought Slade did a very admirable job at Cardiff in the face of unhappy (unreasonable) fans and an impossible owner.

    For me, it would be:
    Slade
    Evans
    Davies.

    Slade has the worst win record percentage and is the only manager to not gain promotion with any of the teams he has managed.

    Evans seems to do well, hopefully he will get hungry at the interview and eat katrien

    Slade has done well too but look like a twat in that hat

    Davies has had his day. I wanted him to replace curbs but that was 10 years ago. He couldn't get in his car and drive away from the valley quick enough 10 years ago. Let him keep driving away

    Just my preference. Evans is a joke (refer to Boston days), Slade has had more clubs than Tiger Woods) and always comes across as everybody's favourite uncle. as least with Davies there will be fireworks.

    Whatever happens were going to get a dud. Anyway I've backed both Davies and Adkins so I might as well make a couple of quid.

    Well the Keith Hill @ 6/4 has come out of nowhere so you might not be so lucky!

    Evans is a prick and not someone who's antics I particularly want associated with Charlton, but his record results wise is decent. Davies is also a bit volatile. I'd pass on both of them but like you I'm not too sure what everyone has against Slade.

    Especially if he brings Super Kev and Dave Mooney home!

    Honestly, after Riga, Luzon, Fraeye, Peeters Id take Davies in a heartbeat.
    Yeah hes been out the game a while but he will still have contacts all over the shop, be hungry, and know the style of players he wants.
    Most importantly know the football league.

    Its one (very) small positive step on the management side in 18 months. IMO

    I would prefer Slade out of all those options, really hoping it is not Adkins.

    Only if you want us to remind you that you also said that Roland would get it right in the end.

    I just hope we bring back Karel Fraeye. I never thought he got the proper chance he deserved last season - give him a full preseason and he will be able to fully implement his squad of 11 players plan.

    I think Davies would be a decent appointment - as long as he gets the power he needs. If they shore up the dugout seats, then it is going to be Evans! When we drew with Slade's Cardiff with 10 men under Peeters I said thank god they had a clueless manager!
