These Championship clubs love to dip into the foreign market, both players and coaches/managers. Glad Stoke are looking to do similar.
I think if Bolton do bin Evatt, they may have Lowe or Schumacher ahead of Challinor. Both now free agents.

Thats common sense like it is with players. If managers and players move upwards there will always be a job for them if they fail higher up. Graham Potter would be a good fit for them. Ex player and the surname of course. Potter's Potter's....a headline writers dream

I'm not one for banging this type of drum usually but I would have to say it probably is fair to say that British coaches without a top level playing record are unfairly looked down upon in the top two tiers of English football.
It's a stereotypical thing to say, but I do believe in it, if Challinor was Catalan/Basque/Spanish/Dutch he's gone a long time ago.

If the worst happens & he does go I think I'd rather promote from within & stick with the coaching structure we've got in place. There's no-one out there who instantly springs to mind who would excite me as a DC replacement. You'd imagine he'll take staff with him. Certainly Hill. Everyone else has been appointed under his watch too, except Luke Smith, so Colgan etc could go as well. Yeah that's a good point. I'd imagine at least Conlon would stay though.

Parky never gets a mention as he is seen only as a cheque book manager with a mixed past. DC has only had one sacking but a sacking by that half wit fylde owner could be regarded as a plus point. If a mixed past is multiple promotions and a League Cup Final with a lower division club, then I'll take a Manager with a mixed past any day.

Anyway, isn't Potter still awaiting remaining Chelsea monies that effectively prevent him taking another job unless he wants to 'lose' money?

Jim 2.0, overall league position worse than when he took over, but undoubtedly steadied the ship - was operating with both hands tied behind his back. And blindfolded. The usual excuses....🙄

Most clubs get rid of managers far too early though. Thing is how many of these changes improve their lot. How many managers have we had from galbraith to the arrival of Danny where nothing ever changed really. Nowadays we,d have double that number for sure. So how many have left things in a better state than they inherited? Jones Megson, up for debate Jim Lord Challinor If megson had been allowed to keep DJ full side we might have known better by not signing downgrades on the players who left. Know i,m on my own on this but the words alan lord brings to me the thoughts of us being bullied week in week out with the likes of churchman, lofthouse, lazenbury and slam dunk russell in the side. Do not care what the financial position at the club was at it was not that bad as to have us being a glorified youth team playing. Still feel he spawned neil young who competely went OTT changing the clubs philosophy. If we,d have kept lord we,d be having a derby with buxton now if MS had never arrived.

It's forever a mystery to me why you support County mate. You seem to thrive on rubbishing parts of our legacy. You genuinely sound like you hate the club and its history sometimes. Like the odd Liverpool fan who slags Klopp off. United, Fergie and so forth. It's very peculiar.

I know you’re just on the windup but have any other managers ever been blamed for a clubs subsequent administration? Or just Jim? You don’t blame Portsmouths demise on Redknapp, or Bury’s on Ryan Lowe, or Derby’s on Lampard? They were the managers that oversaw success with expensive squads at their respective clubs, only for them to fail financially soon after. Of course they aren’t blamed and that’s because it’s not their responsibility. It’s actually a totally absurd thing to say.
