Let’s be honest, all the proposed options are akin to having half a dozen Christmas presents from aunties and uncles under the tree and knowing they’re going to be a Lynx body wash set, socks, pants or possibly a selection box. We’re arguing over the dregs as it stands.

Hopefully it’s all a fantastic ruse and there’s an exciting, up and coming manager that Ed and co have been tracking for several seasons who is penning a contract as we speak. Whether it’s Manning or one of the others, if they don’t get it right early doors, I suspect both the manager and management team are going to be getting some stick.

If Ed Walton is making a decision based on his recruitment success I dread to think who we will get…
 
Didn’t someone say Andrew Crofts was interviewed?
 
Nigel Pearson & Tony Mowbray both out of work.

Both proven managers.

Still think appointing one of them until the end of the season is our best hope of staying up.

Then we look to make a long term appointment then.

They’d either keep us up and we’d be able to attract a quality Championship manager after being a Champ club for over two season or we’d be a League One club and someone like Mous might be available.

Not sure why we are overlooking them.

Their Championship experience may give us the edge on the likes of Norwich & Portsmouth.

Both in their sixties with a history of ill health, haven’t they retired?

Not happening. One of those would be in place by now, either would have been appointed almost instantly.

Neither of those have s**t on the players, fans or management before. It’s completely different.

Bloomfield has managed Wycombe so wouldn’t be much more popular if things went wrong & I doubt Sheehan would get given time if things went south by the fanbase as nobody is that keen on him anyway.

It’s still a know from me and with him being sacked from MK maybe the board wanted to see if he was ok or not before offering him a better deal, but you say a 3/4 year deal with Bristol Citu he left them soon enough when another club came in, so to me and probably others to is that he’s unreliable

He kept us up.

He shouldn’t have been on a rolling deal at that point.

Wycombe? They’re about as relevant to our fanbase as Carlisle are.
Sheehan would get a clean slate. Rowett, quite rightly, wouldn’t.

Not necessarily.

The current Motherwell manager is on a one year rolling contract, at less wages than we were paying any of our last four managers………….

But surely we can't approach and employ him because he would be doing precisely what Manning did to us.......and that is extremely wrong according to many on here that simply can't move on.
 
Bicester Yellow said:
Then first time round we should have offered him job security and not tried to keep him on a rolling contract & then bitch when he leaves for more money and a 3 or 4 year deal.

Doesnt matter because he didnt stay at Bristol for 3 or 4 years either.

So, your choice is one of two 62 year olds with recent health issues, neither of whom has had a long term coaching role for almost three years. They may succeed, they may not - I think the latter - but even if they do, the likelihood is that there would be a need for a complete coaching staff reset for next season. Let’s get that energetic up and coming young coach in now. That’s our best chance of staying up, in my view.

No thanks. Both dinosaurs. We don't live in that era any more.

Never have, and never will, understand the absolutely hate on Manning for leaving.

Its a job. He got offered more elsewhere. Outside of football, not one person would question his decision to accept a promotion.

Anyway... I think it'd be a good appointment.

"I"ll give my season ticket back"

Don't be an idiot! 🤦‍♂️

I wouldnt care if he left at the end of the season but the bloke had only just joined us. He left us 15 games into the season and it then took Buckingham 4 months to get us back to winning games consistently again.
 
Why oh why has it all been about manning these last few pages. No way should we consider going back to past management

To bring you up to speed…Manning went favourite, Betvictor pulled down the betting, myself and a few others had a melt down.

As you were.
