Manager/Coach Next Manager

[Colin B]

I’m very surprised Matt Gray hasn’t had offers yet from other L1 clubs

Actually that is a good shout, I'd forgotten about him. Quite an impressive guy.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

For the people wanting Wilder & Appleton would you really want to tarnish their legacy here?
Look at Denis Smith & Jim Smith in their 2nd stints at the club.
Sometimes its best to look back and remember what they did for the club and the good times than have them back and ruin it.

We need someone fresh with fresh ideas and someone who will embrace the whole club, academy included (which rules out Wilder).

Let’s do this the professional way. Applications in by Tuesday. Shortlist Weds. first interview Thurs, final interviews Fri. New manager in charge Sat. Welcome KR you’ve got a lot of work to do, your predecessor left u a s**t sandwich to sort out

I’ll throw 3 random names out there too.

Matt Gray - Sutton manager

Ian Foster - England u20s

Darren Fletcher - Man Utd coach

I may be wrong but I think Sutton have a seriously direct style of play?

If we win games I dont mind how we do it

Lots will though.

We need an intelligent, eloquent, modern thinking, young-ish manager in the mould of someone like Eddie Howe. Liked how the Rotherham manager (?) sounded compared to KR in the podcast series.
I don’t think I could take someone blathering on mindlessly and regardless of a win/defeat/draw.

I think we just let that very person walk out the door a month ago to Portsmouth….

Sol Campbell says he is one of the greatest minds in football after being overlooked by Oxford

Sol Campbell says clubs are afraid to appoint one of the greatest minds in football after he was overlooked for the Oxford United job.

He'll apply and accuse Oxford United of being racist when he doesn't get the job again.

Hayes has a better win percentage than Wilder. Why are we bothering with anyone with a less percentage than her ? That’s the remit is it, despite it being a different sport.

I suggest you watch some of her analysis of men's games when she does media work. Far more insightful than any male managers (or ex managers) I can remember when talking about tactics, patterns of play and where players should be. She was impressive on the coverage.

That may not translate but then again it just might.

Dave Challinor would be my pick. Has a great record wherever he’s been and will surely get a bigger job before too long, still young for a manager too.

 

[Marked Ox]

Get Steve Evans in and his mate

I'd like some food to be available in the local shops thanks.

Another northern based manager who'll need to relocate. Many aren't willing to do so. That's why I think a southern manager like Bowyer or Cowley is more likely.

I’d say it would be applications/sound out managers this week, interviews the following week, 2nd interviews the week after, appoint a new manager the following week so a 3/4 week process.

He’s never ventured south of North Wales, no chance, he loves it up north, fair play to him. He’s Stockport thru and thru

Disagree.
It is totally different playing long ball in L2 and winning promotion put of L1.
Not sure it is good for the good young players coming through to play long ball football?

 

[Chippy]

In all seriousness are we open to applications by a certain date or trying to recruit thru pro-actively approaching someone? Be interesting to know our plan

 

[Followtheox1]

IF Wilder could be persuaded, he'd have to be up there! Has experience of turning a L1 club into a top 30 club, and doing it quickly.

Has worked with misfit squads, and got the best out of players. Decent tactician too, with good attention to detail.

Would he leave us the moment a better offer came in... possibly / probably. But he'll be looking to re-assert his reputation a bit - could the temptation of turning us around and taking us up possibly draw him in? Maybe (with cash). Potentially win-win; but also high-risk as a L1 relegation would not look great!

Would most managers leave us the moment a better offer came in... definitely

I agree with this, however someone like Richardson who has gotten out of this league before is attractive to me

Craig David could write a song about it too!
