Marc Bircham 16:28 - Dec 5 with 3049 views | thecheek | This is bizarre, he's high up in one bookmakers list.... Never heard of him so took to google - Only Manager's job was at Waterford, recently sacked under a cloud after less than 6 months despite winning nearly half of games played and taking them out of relegation zone Arrested for aggravated battery in Florida last year Played for Canada under Yallop His wife has appeared on WAGS Boutique What could possibly go wrong ?????

Thats him |  |

Marc Bircham on 16:36 - Dec 5 with 2877 views | Nthsuffolkblue | The bookies could take a lot of money on him to answer your final question there. It would go against all the noise Ashton has made to appoint anyone with a poor record off the pitch. One reason why Steve Evans on the list is ridiculous too. |  |

Marc Bircham on 16:38 - Dec 5 with 2833 views | RedX | Was doing very well at Waterford. Had a fallout with the chairman a few days before a relegation play-off(which they lost and were relegated) and was sacked. Argument was supposedly about his refusal to play the Chairman’s son(who is part of squad) more often. |  | |  |

He was doing very well but in a relegation play off. Am I missing something here. |  | |  |
Marc Bircham on 16:47 - Dec 5 with 2702 views | franz_tyson | Saw him on some footie podcast and he comes across as a real geezer. Wouldn’t have thought he was managerial material from that as he came across as a bit of a tosspot. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

This. No way he’d pass an interview. |  |

He came in mid season when they looked doomed. He did very well to get them to that play-off game and a chance of staying up. He also took them to the cup semi final. I don’t think he’s the man for the Town job btw. |  | |  |
Marc Bircham on 18:49 - Dec 5 with 1989 views | stopmoaning | Remember him as a player, and his stupid hair! Can’t see he has any chance getting the job at town. |  | |  |
Marc Bircham on 20:25 - Dec 5 with 1772 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | He's connected to all the game changer boys, if they are picking, Manager Bircham could well be likely. |  |

Well Bircham was assistant manager at Arizona SC (now phoenix Rising) leaving that post on 14th November 2016, Brett Johnson became co chairman December 9th 2015, so they would have been there at the same time. He was very highly regarded as a coach by Frank Yallop before he came back to coach with Holloway at QPR. One can only assume, and I am assuming that the close relationship Yallop has with Gamechanger, Bircham would have had some relationship with those guys as Yallops number two. All three Lions follow him on Twitter, so imagine there is some relationship between them, only if it is they had a good working relationship at Arizona USC. Enough to be our next manager, who knows. But if they are picking, maybe Mr Yallop has pushed Bircham there way? who knows. [Post edited 5 Dec 2021 22:35]

Interesting, thanks for that. I think the game changer link may be overplayed in this recruitment as surely it’s an Ashton decision? |  |

I would think so. Im very shocked to see Bircham on the list, but someone must have know the link between Him-Yallop-GC20. But would be a mental appointment, given the character of the man and the brand Ashton/Rolls are trying to push, see James Norwood. Lively is a good word for Bircham. If Ashton is driving it, I can't see past Appleton or Boothroyd. I would love Liam Manning, or appointment like Neil Critchley was for Blackpool. |  |
