I don't know how unpopular it'll be.No one can say with any certainty how any manager will hurt or help. They still need players .

If it's a 1st timer we'll hear the normal stuff about JR being cheap so a 1st timer would be the only one to accept the salary offer.

A new manager will be in place during the 1st week of November if not earlier.

And if it's a guy with any experience as a major league manager, he'll be a "retread".

seems like a tony hire. Nothing will change until reinsdorf is dead or sells. Then we are off to nashville anyway

Skip didn't want the job I'd guess he was first choice

The second part of your sentence is accurate...the third part is not.  

If it is Nevin, would like to get some fresh comments from former players.  Here are some here --> https://www.si.com/mlb/angels/news/angels-news-despite-losing-record-halos-players-fully-support-phil-nevin-as-manager-ml0802

Seems to me like an elaborate scheme to lure Tyler Nevin here

Thank you Lip Man. Don't know if I already did, but wanted to congratulate you on your end of season award from the sox. Thank you for all you do for the fans. With that said, have you seen this article from barstool carl? Feels like a good summary of what could happen.

Because he was possibly at the stadium? Wouldn't that probably be where final interviews are?

Why would he be the one that writes this?  

Honestly...keeping Sizemore would probably poll as a more popular move with what's left of the fanbase than hiring Phil Nevin.

Nevin seems like a Reinsdorf hire, which presumably means a Getz hire.

You pretty much thought for sure it was going to be Schumaker.

It's not even internet smoke. Someone saw him there. I'm sure the other finalists have also been there.

I'm sure every manager still in the running is "a LaRussa guy". Wasn't Manny Machado seen wearing a suit outside Comiskey when we didn't sign him?

I was told they're still doing final interviews and nothing has been decided yet.

I know I saw that.  But apparently seeing him and not seeing anyone else gives him a leg up.

I was right yet again. Not sure why many posters here thought it was shumacher. It would've been had he wanted the job. But he didn't want the job, and that was clear. Why would he quit the marlins just to go to the white sox?

I kind of enjoy the info that Harold provides to the board (for free by the way). All of the bitching and moaning about him and his info is fucking absurd. It would suck if he went away or stopped sharing with random message board people.

I think it’s more of people being frustrated with his info if it is truly accurate, because it is usually bad news for the Sox (e.g., TLR running interviews, etc.).  It usually seems to be the Sox soxing everything up.

He gets messed with because he supports every move that Getz makes to the bitter end and won’t admit the obviously bad moves Getz has made like signing Maldonado.

So his opinion is different than the echo chamber on here? Oh the horror.
