would take a punt on Will Still from Reims as done a good job there

Neil Dewsnip is still talking about a list of applications, which may now increase now people know we’re in the Championship.

I’m a tad confused by this, surely we’re not just looking at people who have applied? I’d have thought we’d be identifying individuals and approaching them, rather than waiting for them to apply to the job… right?

I'm sure we are biggs but it's just media speak.

Now our Championship status is confirmed, I would be going hell for leather for Steve Cooper. He can only turn us down.

Now we know exactly what the requirements is - i.e. a Manager to keep us up again but hopefully not going to the last game - I think that should significantly narrow the field.

Personally, I think it's a time for pragmatism so I would like to see a Gary Rowett or Nigel Pearson type of experienced Championship Manager to hopefully get us through the next couple of seasons and established in the Division.

It's all very well fans asking for a Manager who will get us playing like we did in League 1 last season, "you score 2, we'll score 3" sort of thing. But the reality is that we don't have the budget to sign the sort of players required to play an open, expansive, attacking style of football in the Championship.

We have to adapt to a way of playing that is commensurate with our budget.

manager that is known in the game is probably more likely to have good contacts which will enable us to upgrade our squad to a championship level, sadly I think a lot of our players have played their last games for us.

Adam Lallana could be a shout (he seems to be expected to retire) played at a top level and currently at a fantastically run club

Miles outside of our price range.

He’ll be going to Sunderland.

Interestingly in his match interview Dewsnip again mentioned head coach in not confident the lessons have been learnt

Paul Cook could do a good job I reckon , love him or loath him !

What a random shout this is 🤣

 

[Newquay Pilgrim]

I'd look at the managers who have ended up in the L1 play-offs and didn't make it up. They would all be driven and very experienced at getting a team up the league

Could be worse than foster 😂

Yep, I saw that and, while today is not the day for creating an argument, I hope that this is up for discussion among senior management.

 

[Green as Grass]

There could well have been some prospective candidates/applicants in the crowd today.

The job title is completely irrelevant. If Foster had been a success then no-one would even have noticed he was known as head coach rather than manager.
