Manager/Coach Next Manager

[captainox]

Surprised Andy Whing isn't even getting a mention. Is it simply that he's working at too low a level and so its a risk?

Would we mention any other manager at that level and with a similar record?

What about all of our living, former managers coming together to rule as a committee.

There would be no figurehead, and they would all be expected to appear on the touchline every game with their own set of tactics and individual team sheet. Simply by the means of Darwinism and osmosis, the strongest manager and best tactics would rise to the top and we would maximise our chances of survival.

There would have to be a way of preventing one of the managers from simply shouting louder than the others.

I would also like to see Des and Appleton together, but also with Leam Richardson, Mark Bonner and Phil Parkinson.

It'd be like having a boy band in charge on the touchline.

We already had the feeling of One Direction under KR

 

[Mad Dog]

Appleton with Steve Kinniburgh as his no2?

 

[Osei Yaw]

We already had the feeling of One Direction under KR

I'd hope that the Five I proposed would be able to take us to Another Level.

I say bring in Julian Alsopp and go all 'bananarama ' to motivate the team

He's name has been floated around but he would only be a realistic option if we were in the Conference. I also understand that he's fully committed to his current role. It would be a ridiculous risk for both club and him to undertake such a role. He needs to work his way up gradually and we need someone with a substantial track record and experience.

Maybe Fowler was always going to get the job once Robinson was gone? Seems funny how out of the blue he appeared at the club and we were meant to believe he was Robbo's old mukka. Looks like someone knows something.

Not out of the blue. His son is in our Academy. I doubt he’s in the frame.

I'm sure Louis could return as our number 9 can't be any worse than what we've got

 

[Mad Dog]

Timmy Mallett with Basel Brush as his number 2?

Everybody has to start somewhere.
Wilder did his "apprenticeship" at Halifax for six years, and arguably was still learning lower league football whilst with us and Northampton.

If you replace what you say about Whing, with Mousinho going to Pompey, that sounds like an even more unlikely appointment.

You imagine this would now take even longer, assuming all our attention is on sorting out a new manager first.

Appleton with Steve Kinniburgh as his no2?

Let's let Stevie crack on with the job he was hired to do?

Whoever comes in, I just hope they can turn our players from Boyz II Men.
