I do think he's awful, but I agree with the overall sentiment - we've seen multiple failures and regular, extremely poor runs of form under his tenure.Agree. I don't think KR is awful, but he's just not good enough for where we want to go. Listening to him burbling away in interviews, I get the impression he's far happier whinging about 'lack of resource' and so on, rather than having to deliver. He's got his level- his next stop will be somewhere like Northampton imo.
I wouldn't go anywhere near Lambert,Adkins, McCarthy,Allardyce , McDermottList of managers currently without a club that are reasonably well known within English football. IF Robbo leaves I think we would look for a manager that has League One promotion(s) on their CV, however I also think our board would be tempted to lure a high profile name as well, the wages will be there for either option.
List for discussion purposes!
Darren Ferguson
Aitor Karanka
Roberto Di Matteo
Martin O'Neill
Roy Keane
Phillip Cocu
Michael O'Neill
Mick McCarthy
Tony Pulis
Garry Monk
Brian McDermott
Lee Bowyer
Graham Alexander
Paul Lambert
Nigel Adkins
Sam Allardyce
There are higher profile names of course but probably out of our reach.
To get us out of League One, Darren Ferguson stands out.
I think we have the funds to recruit a well performing young manager from another club, I hope that would be a possibility.I wouldn't go anywhere near Lambert,Adkins, McCarthy,Allardyce , McDermott
I wouldn't mind someone young abit like the guy Ipswich appointed instead of a name
A manager I wouldn't mind seeing is whing I know he's only doing it at Banbury but he's doing a very good jobI think we have the funds to recruit a well performing young manager from another club, I hope that would be a possibility.

It should be a part of the interview process if you don't work with a D.O.F you won't get the jobBut would they work with a DoF......
None of them would come here, and I wouldn't want the majority here either. Maybe Monk or Bowyer at the most.List of managers currently without a club that are reasonably well known within English football.

Totally agree!None of them would come here, and I wouldn't want the majority here either. Maybe Monk or Bowyer at the most.
We need to go down the path of finding a good young coach and putting a solid backroom staff around them, maybe but not essentially with a DoF. Complete clean sweep of the management team and a complete shake-up of structures within the club. May take a while to get up to speed but we're going nowhere under KR this season anyway, so now would be ideal.
I actually think most young managers would as this is the successful model at a lot of clubs and they might also be thankful for the assistance/sensible challenge that an experienced DoF could bring.But would they work with a DoF......
the thing there is that any decent manager would say "who is the DoF?". It is an important relationship, and a manager having an unsuitable DoF appointed above them would be in trouble (in many ways). If you were a decent manager would you take the risk on the unknown?But would they work with a DoF......
