Yeah, i hear what you're saying. I was looking forward to a season of stability and stress free footy but we'd have to employ someone pretty hopeless to mess up this squad in this league position. Oh!..........



Yep , now things are uncertain, we won't be relegated but my hopes for play offs are currently ruptured.
I don't care who the manager is, so long as he comes here for the right reasons. I give zero intercourse , who becomes manager, becuase its out of my control.

How about Paul Cox at Barrow? He's done well at Mansfield and has taken Barrow up to 5th in the Conference.[/quote]

That would show some real ambition that

Adkins tells Matt Dean he won't be applying but that means he won't get the job because we'd never be pro-active enough to ring him and ask him if he'd like to be considered.

Given the stuff I've read on twitter today, I think people should manage their expectations here...

Adkins "flattered" to be linked, but says there's no contact. Matt Dean reckons it's unlikely to make a difference even if we pursued him.

Look lower rather than higher. Be honest, we were never going to offer the sort of salary Adkins would be looking at. We never do.

A shame, because I think it would have been a worthwhile investment for everyone. Including the board. Imagine how much more money would be available in the Championship. Could easily wipe out a benign loan for instance.

I don't think we should overlook a non-league manager.

I know it feels like we should now ignore non-league and move onward (and upwards) but there are some good managers down there, working miracles on tiny budgets.

I think I'd rather appoint someone who'd be genuinely grateful for the opportunity to manage in the FL and would work his nuts off to make the most of the opportunity than appoint a manager who's effectively sliding down the ladder because he can't last more than 12-18 months at any one club.

I'm not saying we should totally disregard looking to someone with lots of league experience, just that we should keep our options open.

Curtis Woodhouse the latest favourite with Sky Bet and Adkins out to 3/1.

I reckon they got about as much idea as we have.

It is as least as ambitious as having someone with no managerial experience or someone on the way down in their career. Quite a few posters seemed to think earlier on that we have done pretty well by appointing from below rather than blowing the budget on a "name".

Neil Woods was supposed to be great with the youngsters and we all know where that ended up.

I was thinking more about relegation out of the Football League, but perhaps you have been suspended in a time warp or hibernating for the past 7 years.

How many trophies did he win?
