If we were going down the tried and trusted, been there and done it managers then I'd go for Paul Cook rather than the likes of Cowley, Rowett, Monk etc. Four or five years ago there'd be no question, he'd be an outright choice of many. Got promotions on his CV and knows his way around the top of L1. Ipswich didn't work out and he's never really got back in where he perhaps should be. Gone down to the NL, started rebuilding his reputation and has Chesterfield flying high. He's a bit old school maybe but not the big mouth you'd perhaps expect him to be, always speaks sensibly and rationally and he's been very gracious about Oxford in the past. Like many, I'd prefer someone of the new generation of managers but if we need someone to maintain our momentum and steer the ship towards promotion then we could do a lot worse. Of the older managers put forward he'd be a stand out for me.
of course the club know about him. Feels like it *could* be a natural transition to Buckingham, but would need people around him.
