    Bowyer had been in charge of the Tangerines in June 2016 after the club’s relegation to League Two.

    In March 2017, he was hit by boiled sweets thrown by Newport County fans during his side’s win at Rodney Parade.

    In May 2017, Bowyer took Blackpool back up to League One in his first season in charge, his side beat Exeter City in the League Two Playoff Final.

    He then resigned on the 6th of August 2018 after the first game of the season.

    In February 2019 he was linked with the job at Bradford City before he replaced David Hopkin as Bantams boss on the 4th of March 2019, signing a contract until the end of the season.

    In April 2019 he signed a contract with Bradford City until 2021. He was nominated for the League Two Manager of the Month award for October 2019,[29] but later said he was not a ‘fan’ of such awards. He was sacked on 3 February 2020 after 11 months into his spell at club due to his poor form and backlash from fans online.

    At the time, they sat 8th in the League Two table, five points behind the Northampton who were in the playoffs having played a game more. Stuart McCall tookover and they finished 9th and four points behind Cobblers who maintained a playoff place.

    5) John Eustace

    A while back, Swansea City wanted to speak to the Queens Park Rangers assistant manager, John Eustace, about succeeding Graham Potter.

    In April 2016, after spending a short period of time with the club, Eustace was named manager of National League side Kidderminster, signing a one-year contract until the end of the 2016–17 season. He then left the club in May 2018 to join former manager Steve McClaren at Queens Park Rangers as assistant manager.

    The 39-year-old – who used to play for Coventry City, Stoke City, Watford and Derby County – was named and remains as QPR boss Mark Warburton’s number two at Loftus Road.
