TomThumb84 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Futile conversation (with respect) unless the autonomy dynamic at the club changes. None of those listed above come here in the current set-up. If Holden goes, welcome Paul Simpson (although not sure the club will have the nerve to eek out his appointment for six weeks with thinly veiled promises of external appointment for a second time).

Guest Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The plan needs to change or SL will just select another the same, the plan wont change so expect another inexp manager, who will work under the plan, do what hes told and just be here for the money.

Northern Cider Ed Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I would take anyone that is not at this club or whos name ends in pulis If ashton is here to stay then Appleton has to be favourite. Im indifferent to him but hes doing a decent job with lincoln and im sure he was popular at oxford Same with cowleys. I have seen loads of negativity towards them but if you look at their records then they are pretty phenomenal albeit at lower level. Lampard, pearson, wagner and howe very unrealistic Cook or bowyer would be my picks if they could work with ashton but very unlikely they could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Realistically Cook. Howe would be a coup. Part of me wants someone from overseas who’s completely new - Arne Slot (who’s about to go to Feyenord) seemed an interesting left field name mentioned in the summer. The key in this is Ashton. He has to go really otherwise our pool of potential managers becomes very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Absolutely Paul Cook for me. A manager with a clear record of success at multiple clubs with different budgets and expectations.

I don’t imagine many managers would like to work in that environment. None of us know for sure how much control Ashton actually has, but I can’t imagine someone like Cook wanting anything other than full control over signings. Certainly not selected Wasserman players ‘recommended’ to him in inordinate numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
