Thats the sort of man I was on about.
A part time kids coach? Really?

I really hope we don't appoint somebody like Phil Brown or Stuart McCall. They look great on paper, but have spent their entire career at a level higher than this and will mostly know of players above this level. We aren't going to break the bank to sign players, so getting the good players to come to this level (and location) is nigh on impossible. We'd end up signing players on the way down that has been so unsuccessful before.
Much rather sign an up and coming manager from the level below us who knows the better players to bring here with hunger and desire to move upwards. Buckley, Slade mk1 and Hurst were all this approach and have been our most successful managers for the last 30 years. Bignot didn't turn out too well, but I think it was the right idea given everything that was reported about him.
Brown got Southend promoted out of League 2 and McCall did a decent job at Motherwell which is a comparative level to Town, That said I would like to see someone come in who is technically well qualified, modest but engaging and hungry to prove themselves in a league managers job for the first time.

May sound obvious but we will have to see who applies. We can say who we want, but if they don't apply, then it matters not. Managers are like players; they want to manage as high as they can and will lower their sights as time goes on. McCall and Brown for instance are only recently out of work.

How about Mark Warburton? Did a great job at Brentford, getting them to the championship and an equally good job at Rangers getting them back into the Scottish Premiership. He might be out of our price range, but that is the sort of calibre we need,because we HAVE to get this one right.

No its more about someone who is well thought of in the industry with a good coaching record who has or is coaching at a high level even if it is Tottenhams under 23s, someone who wants to be a manager but needs the chance instead of the manager merry go round. So what if he's coaching the kids team, just because they're splitting time between the class room and the football pitch foesn't mean they are part time, they'll still be out reviewing tape, studying formation and training methods, scouting lower league teams for the next star in the academy and most likely helping out in 1st team as well.

Good luck to Paul for the rest of the season. I hope you can get us out of the mess you have been left. I would hazard a guess and say that if we have a decent run of form, from now until the end season and start to play some decent football then Paul will be in the running. If the club want to find someone else then a lot of the names bandied about will wait to see what position we are in, in 3 or 4 games time. I can't imagine somebody like Phil Brown or Stuart McCall would want to manage a non league club. Personally I would like to see an up and coming manager and you never know Paul Wilkinson could show us he has that potential.

I'm concerned even the likes of Klopp, Mourinho or Guardiola would struggle to get season saving results out of the current crowd.
Whatever you do Wiko, and I know for some reason you rated him, but please please don't pick Kelly next Saturday

If Wilco sorts this shat out and keeps us up he deserves a crack at it next season.
He and the players will get my 100% support we can't buy players to help him but by feck we can make those lads fight to stay up.
