PH is being considered among several other options. I would take it with a pinch of salt, not sure our transfer budget would be attractive for him. I don't expect him to sign, i think he will end up at Hull.

As others have mentioned all too often the name that is openly discussed as being interviewed for a job rarely is the one who actually gets the role (certainly outside the top clubs anyway). It’s almost as if the name is leaked for a variety of purposes, for example their agent knows the chances of the job are small but keeps the name out there and showing they are ‘popular’, or the club allow it to be leaked to demonstrate the ‘attractiveness’ of the vacancy and focus the minds of their favoured options.
In reality though knows what’s going on with the manager search at Argyle right now, hence the 200+ pages on this thread!

Not moving because of children in school is a valid reason and no amount of money can overcome that. Perhaps Brighton is moving to the East Midlands?
I'm afraid our budget will frighten off many of the excellent candidates that are out there, so in the end, we will get a compromise - a risk with someone from abroad, or a lower league candidate without higher league experience - both options can be to our advantage, and hopefully, will be!
What we need, whoever it is and from where, is someone who can analyse what is going right/wrong during a game and make corrections.
It is understandable that in the search for the most suitable candidate for Head Coach some will wave aside any requirement for the appointee to live in or around the city as the quality of potential candidates seems to evaporate by the day. This appointment will be the most important Argyle have made in recent years, not least given the Ian Foster experience. His willingness to relocate to the city may have played a part in his appointment and I have reflected why that may have been.
What Simon has achieved in his tenure as Chairman is to elevate Plymouth Argyle as an entity to a level of excellence unparralleled in the region. The club are now at the forefront of promoting the city and are very firmly rooted in the community its serves. The work of the Community Trust is an exemplar of how a club can firmly intregrate itself and they will play a major part in delivering thecstep change of Brickfields.
The new Head Coach will be seen as the public face of leadership of the club. It is he who will be doing the press conferences and wider contact with the media. It is a wider role than just being responsible for the team. Part of Schuey's success was his willingness to embrace the city and advertise the club to major employers in the city who responded with major sponsorship investment. I just feel the club is part of the city as never before. I love to see all the young kids proudly wearing their Argyle kits as their Man Utd and Liverpool kits remain firmly folded in the wardrobe. Phil Stokes Head of the Academy said at the Senior Greens that they are having to hold two trials for the u-8s such is the demand from both boys and girls. how wonderful is that.
What all this says that there is a minor revolution unfolding before our eyes where the club is embraced by the city and beyond like never before. So what does the appointment of a Head Coach who's base may be 'up north' mean. It will mean a lesser commitment to the city and less time 'pressing the flesh' in promoting both the club and city. It is a long drive, peppered by frustrations of the M5 and M6. it will mean less time on 'the grass'. These may be small matters but cumulative it will tell over time as the Head Coach will then have to rely on his other coaches to do the work. It would be my first question - are you willing to commit full time to the club by living in or around the city. Anything else is a compromise.

We have had a Rosenior period on PASOTI and now a Heckingbottom period. What next? If it is PH, chanting his full name will be a challenge.
There's been no decent source that has reported he turned us down due to location.
Brighton's interest in Rosenior was first reported a few months ago, he'll have been aware of it, and news of him turning us down broke around the same time as it was confirmed that De Zerbi would be leaving Brighton.
Ryan Lowe was based up north and was quite quick to dash away from Plymouth midweek for a few minutes on Sky as a pundit. Although you could say he was raising Argyle’s profile as well as his own by doing that.
Perhaps the more important appointment is that the assistant and other coaches are based in Plymouth or west Devon or east Cornwall.
Did you not understand anything that Graham Clark wrote?
But he has experience of being the main man and winning a league Nails is an unknown quantity but I do agree with your sentiment
This was the Sheff Utd chant for him and McCall. Conveniently we already tend to play that’s song at full time https://youtu.be/L4FLJ-WMp0s?si=8MY8ITqOAB6E1axd
Of course I recognise the point articulated here.
The precedent is the DoF. He still resides in NW and commutes. Clearly, a less hands on role at the playing level than the head coach but a precedent all the same along with the Lowe arrangement which is in public domain.
Does not matter who it is so long as he is 100% committed to everything Argyle & has some form of a Backroom Staff
Neil mentioned that Simon (Ireland) & David (Tivvy) details would be provided the successful candidate required further Backroom Staff
This person has to have humility , empathy to connect to the players who will buy into his playing ethos
All the managerial names being mentioned - no one knows what the dynamic was in their previous clubs , no one knows how the manager interacted with the Chairman, Director of Football & the players on a daily basis- for all we know the manager could have had a dressing room of bad apples that he had to work with
The chosen candidates that are being interviewed will no doubt be under no illusion what SH & his managerial team expect in regards to total commitment including where they live
If a candidate is not fully in - the board will move onto the next candidate
