So that’s what an overload is. Ah, I get it now! Those *never* go in for County. Well you know how we’re scoring next week now, don’t you. 🤓

Well you know how we’re scoring next week now, don’t you. 🤓 My money’s on a freak gust of wind that collapses the net just as the ball is about to cross the line, keeping the whole of the ball from crossing the whole of the line. Proper County. (PS: based on yesterday’s liner’s call on that clearance/upfield pass from (?)Touray, the goal ought to stand anyway. )

Stoke have just sacked their Manager (Steven Schumacher). Would that one tempt DC?

Stoke have just sacked their Manager (Steven Schumacher). Would that one tempt DC? It's another one that should do, on paper anyway. Ex-PL club, even if not exactly a PL giant. Decent fanbase, extraordinary wealth behind them, the sense that getting them right would see him a hero. But plenty have failed there, including Nathan Jones who was on a similar trajectory to Challinor. I'd be surprised if he isn't linked, even as an outsider.

Just a quick look at their forum and its evident that its a shock and not something many called for.
There is alot kf people saying things like "what is going on with our club" and "turning into a basket case club". Looks like they want the owner,dof or someone like that out
If hes offered i think he will go but personally think they will be going a different route, possibly someone from europe

Swear they haven't had a good manager since Pulis, or perhaps Mark Hughes?

Have to admit I'm more than a little concerned about this development. A bigger club, a step higher, where he wouldn't have to uproot his family. They do have the bet 365 money behind them but since exiting the premier league they don't appear to like spending it in a manner that would suggest they're aiming for a return to the top division anytime soon which could be a saving grace but If DC is on their radar I do seriously think it's exactly the type of job that could tempt him.

Schumacher was doing reasonably well, pretty strange sacking. Would be a very hard one for DC to turn down though, fingers crossed they’re not interested.

Actually what is the type of club to tempt him. Those that look a good bet on paper are the ones who might want a name manager or are tempted to look abroad. Take away our dislike if stoke as a club i feel they are an ideal outfit for him to move on to. At the moment for them a top half league Finish would be seen as a success for them and some stability.

Yep. We're obviously biased and want him to stay but Stoke is exactly the kind of club that he will go to. He's not going to go to a massive Champ club likes Leeds, but similarly would be daft for him to go to a bottom 6 Champ club. The only thing that reassures me is the sudden sacking suggests they might already have somebody lined up. They're not bottom of the league having lost 5/6 games.

Actually what is the type of club to tempt him. I think his CV tells us the answer. Most of the Bolton and Stoke posts focus on the boardrooms and fanbases of those clubs but avoid the bigger factor. DC had no qualms about dropping divisions for a pay rise twice, I'm pretty zen about losing him to a higher paying club - we have our place in the middle of a food chain which allows us to prise the Hartlepool manager away but also to have him similarly nabbed by Stoke.

Jon Walters is the Sporting Director there, so wouldn't be a totally alien environment for him either.
Walters getting a lot of stick on the Oatcake. Strong Jim/Wilson/Rusk vibes.

But plenty have failed there, including Nathan Jones who was on a similar trajectory to Challinor. I'd be surprised if he isn't linked, even as an outsider. Stoke get rid of the managers way to easy. Why would Chally want to go somewhere that might kick him out after a few dodgy results. A decent pay off I know, but I doubt he's that sort of chap. He's on a good number at County, lots of credit in the bank, AND County are on a mission. Stay with it Chally!

Shows what a job Challinor has done that we're constantly worried whenever a good Championship or high end League One job comes up.
95% of clubs don't have this problem because their problem is when or whether they should give their manager the boot out the back door.
I'm not sure where DC's next job is but he's a very smart man and wouldn't just be wooed by a name of a club but would have his finger on the pulse of the goings on off and on the pitch at these clubs.
