What would you all say about a current manager who:
- Played for us
- Has a 45.23% win rate over 199 games as a manager
- Has secured two promotions so far, the most recent a year ago
- Favours attacking, possession-based football.
Know who that is? 
I am *not* saying he is the ideal candidate, but I would like to think the club would at least consider him.
It's Ian Evatt of Bolton. |  |

Or perhaps he's not ready or not good enough. Aim higher folks; we're a championship club with aspirations of the Premier League. |
Wasn't suggesting Hall was a candidate, just responding to a post asking why he wasn't applying for other roles such as the manager |  | | |

I must say that Ian Evatt hadn't crossed my mind, but he definitely fits the sucessful lower league criteria. He certainly didn't have money to spend at Barrow, but I've no idea on the current finances of Bolton.
Whether he has forgiven the club for the way Ian Holloway refused to play him (unless numbers were too depleted) I wouldn't know! |  | | |

"I must say that Ian Evatt hadn't crossed my mind".
Likewise, I knew he was managing but had no idea he had done so well or that his brand of football was progressive.
Apparently, when he was managing in the north east, his club were known as Barrowcelona  | |

No reason why the club wouldn't interview Campbell, but also no reason to give him the job either. |
There's no reason why the club shouldn't consider Campbell's managerial CV but having read it there's every reason not to invite him to interview. |  | | |

Nice to see a sensible suggestion in amongst the sea of nonsense. | | | |
