Interesting comment on their MB: Would be typical of this lot to try and pinch another of our succesful managers. Don't know what contract he is on but new owners need to get him tied down. Training base being on 'Dales doorstep probably a factor in this speculation The only one I can think of is Vic Halom, some 35 years ago. It's not exactly a regular occurrence. | ![](/images/avatars/1082.gif) |

I thought that as well. A strange remark. Jordan Williams as a player and Barry Diamond perhaps, but the way it's worded, you'd think we were 4 or 5 times 'manager-snatchers' | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

"How do you know he doesn’t deserve the role if it is true?" Because he manages Barrow you pillock and we are a division three side in the football league.

How/why the fook is Ian evatt odds on favourite on 19:26 - Mar 5 with 12286 views | Brierls | While I don't agree he'd be on a par with Eyre, we simply don't know, I agree it would be a uninspiring appointment on paper. If the likes of Flynn and Hurst have been approached and turned us down (that would have to have happened very quickly) then I don't suspect we have much choice than to be looking at up and coming managers. Evatt falls into that category and he looks to have done a good job at Barrow, who are probably the National League equivalent of Dale in League One as far as budgets go. We HAD to sack Hilly though. We HAD to. Apparently. As some have said, be careful what you wish for. Idiots. As much as I'm smarting over us sacking Hilly, whoever comes in has to be given backing and support. I'd just rather it was somebody we as fans could get excitied about. | ![](/images/avatars/1199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It shouldn't be his back they get on if it comes to it......... someone like Evatt would be a fool to turn it down. The flak if it goes wrong should be directed elsewhere......... in any case, best to wait and see.. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

Holt has appeared on the betting recently at 20/1 which could purely be because his name has appeared here once or twice. I have heard from a source very close to the club that we have interviewed Dave Sutton for the role, he is very willing to return and help our youngsters bloom, and believes his grass roots background will help the club blossom. I also heard that Tim flowers will be brought in as assistant, with Kevin rose as goalkeeping coach. Sutton has his roots in Rochdale and believes from acorns mighty oaks grow, and yew would be chestnuts not to have a bet on him!!! | ![](/images/avatars/1161.gif) |

How/why the fook is Ian evatt odds on favourite on 19:39 - Mar 5 with 12117 views | BlueDales | Taking Chesterfield down (okay, not really his fault) and 12th in the Conference with Barrow. Can't we do any better? Does he live in Rochdale, given where Barrow train? If Evatt does take over, he'd of course have my full backing. But I'd be very underwhelmed. Edit: Barrow fans seem to love him, and he's doing for them what Hill has for us. To be fair, it does sound like we could do a lot worse than appoint Evatt. Although I'd still prefer Flowers.

On the basis that the teams with the best defences are the ones that win things, it would be great if the next guy knows a left back and a couple of centre halves that would come to Rochdale without having to go back to his previous club and sign his mates. | ![](/images/avatars/1190.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Oh right. Who did the most successful manager in our history manage before us you pillock? If he goes through an application & interview process and is found to be successful then he is deserving of the role... Pillock. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
