Took Scunthorpe up, Saints twice inc out of the Championship.....and look what happened to the basket case which is Hull after he left. massively underrated in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Paul cook is probably the best available for what we are willing to spend and our seemingly lack of ambition or desire for yes men, but for me as are the rest of that sorry list, they are all very uninspiring however the market is short of any excitement. would have loved McCarthy in the summer or now but starting to settle for cook or dare I say it Appleton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stockwood gate Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I often think back to when Steve Cotterill was given the opportunity to manage our great club and probably lots of us said what a poor choice but what a great manager he was , it’s all a gamble manager players come and go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Southampton out of League one and took Sheffield United to mid table obscurity in League one. Bombed with Reading in the Prem. Championship took Southampton up but also took Hull City to mid table obscurity. Good and bad with all managers but imo Adkins is a good league one manager.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Think that list is very sensible with where we are and how attractive a proposition we are at this moment in time. Missed the boat in the summer, I think it will be Simpson or Appleton but I'd take Adkins or Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of the following would you rather appoint? 1. Been promoted at each club he’s worked at, genuine good eye for quality players and gets team to perform greater than the sum of their parts while playing good football. 2. Genuinely nice man. Once managed a league two team for a short while. Assistant to a coach playing some of the worst football ever seen. Funnily enough that was the choice that Ashton & Lansdown had back in the summer.

The sort of manager that would be described as ‘forward thinking’ in the media. By all accounts he’s got MK Dons playing good football, but now isn’t the time for an indulgent ‘project’ appointment for a manager to learn with.

Did alright at Birmingham, seemed not to last so long at Middlesbrough, bizarrely got sacked by Sheffield Wednesday after a win vs Bournemouth and draw with Millwall- the former at that point were unbeaten.

But Lowe seems a very good manager so would be more than happy with him. Cowley done very well too so don't mind him either. Adkins plays good football from what I remember about him. Would not be against that. Appleton seems good too. Was impressed with watching his Lincoln side the other week. Oxford fans love him. Don't know much about him but seems a good manager. So any of them, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson putting Ashton in his place by using a single, cutting, one-liner would be comedy gold. Warnock dealing with those players who can’t win 75:25 challenges, let alone 50:50’s or fulfil a successful pass completion to a red shirt 5 yards away would also be a joy to watch. As KK would say ‘I’d luv it’. The only difference to your thoughts... I’d willingly have any of them. Old school may be, but they know how to build and organise a winning team.

marcofisher Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I would rather give Chris Martin the job over Russell Martin. Am I missing something with Russell? Has literally no management experience and just took over as manager as he was playing at the Dons when Tisdale went to the gas. He hasn’t torn up any trees there so fair either. We may as well just leave Simpson in charge for the rest of the season if that is the case, who at least has a couple of promotions on his CV. Not that I would even remotely want that either.

Just don't get the negativity around him. I’m also baffled as to why the Cowley’s aren’t more prominent in people’s preferences. Incredible track record either punching above their weight or transforming under-performing sides and achieving all those promotions in the process. Seem like very smart individuals and exactly what we need to rebuild the connection between the club and us fans. This YT video gives an insight into their approach...

More success than failure IMO. Went into Southampton and successive promotions, steered them above the bottom 3. Stabilised Hull, they were struggling when he took charge. Reading were already going down, midtable or lower midtable in Championship. Sheffield United a notable failure, useful work at Scunthorpe a club of that size.
