I would be amazed if JB get the role, he’s had the audacity to challenge KT and make him do something he has never done, communicate his intentions about the club going forward.
I fully expect to see a journey man manager in place around mid June with the usual BS around targets identified, offers made etc etc, once the season tickets are committed too, we will be left with a mid table L2 team, some on here will be over the moon.
As some have said they don’t give a sh1t what league we are in as long as they can go and watch it.
It is a strange one. In virtually any other circumstance JB wouldn't get a sniff at the role. Regardless of how much we foot the blame at KC's door, he did have a prolonged spell in charge. I think the stat was we would have been 16th/17th or something, or survived anyway. I don't know if that could change with the last couple of results. Either way, his performance hasn't made it a straight forward recruitment decision.
I still want him to get it in view of the picture you paint, which is exactly what would happen if we go elsewhere. We could have a Wilder but the likelihood is we won't, especially as I'm sure the budget strings will be tight.
At JB's level it also becomes a financial decision. It's a bit like these semi-pro footballers who make more money playing and working a regular job than they would as a pro. He already had other paid work, so depending on whether he received a bolt on or what they offered him it could sway his decision. He may also not want the lifestyle and stresses of being a FT pro manager, it can't be for everyone and he mentioned the hours and sacrifice he has been putting in.
