Greedo Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 So if Deano were to get (please, god) the boot after tonight’s game, who would you want in to replace him? Unlike the summer when LJ left and there seemed to be a variety of possible candidates, it feels like there’s rather more slim pickings now in terms of both available managers and managers who are in post at other clubs that we might be reasonably equipped to poach. For me I like what Ismael is doing at Barnsley, and we’ve shopped for managers at Oakwell before. (Apologies if this has come up in one of the larger threads already & I've missed it, please mothball in if so.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Nobody who is any good would want to come here and work for Mark (Slimey) Ashton, so it looks like it will be Simpson & Downing who will of course produce more of the same.

ExiledAjax Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Away from the obvious names - wasn't Ryan Lowe mooted in the summer? Got Plymouth promoted last season, they are currently 10th in L1. Posting some decent xG numbers, play a 352, and he might be tempted to come to us? I know he's not as 'proven' as someone like Cook or Howe, but he's proving himself a good manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 If we get in Nigel Pearson. SL would have to sack MA or change his powers he has over the current manager. Or else Nigel will be off within the month. Lets get Nigel before he goes else wear. Then put on you hard hats and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if Dean were let go before a new manager was appointed. I would have thought that Tins would step in until a new appointment was made?

Gazred Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm never in the know about anything but was told in some confidence by a family member that does have an 'in' at the club that Eddie Howe was having a year out but would be taking up the job this summer, hence the 1 year rolling contract for Holden. Glorified caretaker if you will. One remit, keep us in the division. All with the possibility of returning to the coaching team once that was achieved and Howe in place. I took it with a massive pinch of salt and not given much thought since but putting it out there. I think Howe's stock would be much higher and he's out of our league, but who knows. Pinch of salt anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Red Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 No good asking who we want, best ask Mark Ashton who he would employ, as most managers mentioned over the last year or so don't come under his criteria Face Masks at www.otibclothing.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLRed Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Paul cook all day long. Knows Williams, got wigan performing extremely well before they were picked apart, and is a good MANAGER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedo Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not been keen on a Pearson or a Cook before but have to say I’m leaning that way now. Would certainly ruffle some feathers, but for that reason I can’t see it happening unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Would be very happy with Pearson or Cook coming and given a wider remit than currently in place as has already been mentioned. Can’t see Howe or Lampard coming here but just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 If I’m making a prediction.. I think we might get someone short term as a caretaker. Perhaps we will go for someone totally different - a McCarthy or a Warnock type - just to keep us up. I don’t think they’ll go with Paul Simpson as the PR would be awful. They don’t usually care about that but they need ST renewals. A fair few people have said similar to the above about Howe so if I’m to make a prediction he’ll be our man in the summer.

LondonBristolian Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Paul Cook would be my choice. I'd also be happy with Howe (obviously) or Ryan Lowe. The big thing for me is appointing someone with a track record of getting the most out of their resources and getting teams promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
