Don't think my post was very clear. I would much prefer the up and coming non league manager..!


As someone else up there said, I have a very real fear that appointing someone like Mills/Wilcox/Burnett will put us straight back down into non league.

How depressing is it to read the realistic options we have open to us?

Yep. And it was always going to be like this. Worst aspects of Hurst leaving was; 1) the pool of alternatives and 2) our track record in this area.

I really wished he could have stayed until we were in league 1.

I agree, lets face it, Shrewsbury, a league above us, ended up with possibly their third choice candidate.

Wasnt Hurst and shouty our 3rd/4th or 5th choice?

Sometimes you just hit upon someone that works.

Looking at the list of realistic candidates I hope some start to review their delight at Hurst moving on (not that it does anyone any good- we must look forward to whatever this brings)

John Tondeur mentioned Robbie Stockdale as a possibility in his Radio Humberside Sports Talk interview last night - promising up-and-coming coach with a very good reputation, close affinity to the club, but of course no managerial experience as yet. But if he has the ability (and ambition) to manage as well as coach, it might be one that the Board would consider (arguably preferable to a 'journeyman name').

Good job Cooper's on a squillion quid a year at Village Green or he'd be up next.
I had an exciting list of candidates in my head yesterday, but none of them seem to be making the alleged real list.
Hope the Board can keep us updated and not be tempted to go too leftfield, an old hand that guides us to top half will do for me right now.

Robbie Stockdale would probably be a good shout for  me.
The guy could probably attract some very good players to the club and has been at most levels of football so should be tactically sound.

But - would he want to come here from a cushy job? Well Hurst has just done that so why not?

Heard Mark Robbins is a front runner already, 22/1 currently if anyone fancies a dabble.

Apparently prior to the last appointment, Ian Holloway ruled himself out because of the location.

I don't think we've got the new ground yet.
