cityexile Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 The problem with all this is whether anything else is changing in our structure. If not I find it very hard to believe any experienced Championship manager will be that interested. Much more likely to be somebody ‘up and coming’ who fancies their shot at a step up.

It’s rumoured Cook ruled himself out because of the span of control Ashton has. If that is the case he will not be coming here as no suggestion Ashton is going to be show the door.

BUTOR Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I genuinely don’t know. We need someone to rip it up and start again l, but we know we won’t get that. The last managerial appointment was our big chance to take the club to the next level and we ****** it up, as a result this one feels oddly insignificant.

marcofisher Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Is Jokanovic completely out of our reach? I know he is in Qatar, but I imagine lots of players and managers out there will have clauses in their contracts to allow them to return to a European league if someone offers them a contract?

TomThumb84 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Strip back Ashton’s role - give the new guy coming in control over most of our footballing strategy and it is an attractive job. We could be surprised. (Howe, Lampard, Bilic). Leave the structure as it is and we will carry on as we are and be underwhelmed. (Ryan Lowe, Darren Moore, Paul Simpson). Get somewhere in the middle (which I think is what will happen) and we get Cook, Alex Neil, or Nigel Adkins. It will be Cook or Neil. I had heard we wanted Neil in the summer but the compensation was a massive stumbling block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we will go for a name, experience or someone like Ryan Lowe? I’d like to think they’ll swallow their pride and go for someone experienced and ready ala Cook. If he’s already been rejected in the summer for Holden he may not want to try again. Really like Ryan Lowe, in fact I like everything Simon Hallett is doing at Plymouth right now. In terms of an upcoming, English, young manager he'd be the one to go for. Only Darren Moore at Donny is currently "ahead" of him in league position at least. Have a feeling Lowe's ceiling is higher though. I'd like us to look at upcoming, English speaking, German managers that have been through their 8 month intensive training programme personally but that's unlikely to happen. SL remains quite unpredictable. This appointment has been disastrous and he needs to save face quickly, so I think an experienced man ain't out of the question. But if the past tells us anything, it's unlikely to be an appointment that unifies supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly one, maybe two of your initial list are a bit chequebook manageresque- but I take your general point. Cook I wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly increasingly frustrated about lack of finances to invest in the playing squad, he'll get given barley a tenth of what he makes on player sales, couldn't afford Wells or Palmer when they moved to us after publicly saying he'd want to work with them at Preston, frankly does a great job on a small budget (PNE's wages probably in bottom 3rd) and is prepared to be part of a club plan to sell players and re-invest, allow him to take what he's done at Preston and work it on a higher scale with players he actually wants to work with rather than who he gets lumped with because its all they can afford.

ExiledAjax Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Any think there's a chance of us doing what we sometimes do when we need a new striker and raiding a foreign second division? Some bloke called Laurent Batlles currently has Troyes AC running away with French Ligue 2. Offer him a job in England coaching Massengo? He might at least be up for the battle.
