How much does it cost to get rid of him - sure there's enough people out there to crowdfund it!

Was just looking through a list of available managers just in case Mr Fenty pulls the trigger. No preference myself. There's a bit of talent out there we could possibly attract as a well supported club hunting for promotion rather than a club fighting relegation. One or two may need the board to invest a little more in the most important position at our football club. I just don't subscribe to the theory that we can't get better than Hurst. Nine promotion spots gone in the past four and a half seasons. Not recommendations from me but maybe a list worth discussing..
Neil Redfearn
Steve Cotterill
Chris Powell
Neil Adams
Dave Jones
Mark Robins
Mark Cooper
Gary Megson
Ronnie Moore
Richard Money
Your thoughts?
It's hardly an inspiring list, some of them haven't managed in years. I wouldn't fancy a costly gamble on one of them at this time in the season. |

Why not ? Im not saying any of them but if we are going down the inspiring route paul hurst aint exactly the man is he ? Our last playoff attempts have all ended in failure and he has a 0% success rate in terms of winning a trophy or promotion at grimsby town so a change might be exactly what we and the players need right now. |

That's just picking stats to suit. Why 12 games? I predict that after 3 more bad results it'll be "we've won 8 out of 15. That's not bad."
OK, then, how about this? After 32 games, we're 5 points clear of 4th place with a game (or games) in hand and a much superior goal difference to any of the teams below us. Effectively 6 points clear in 3rd place. We're clearly doomed. Yeesh. |

Neil Redfearn [/b]Should be snapped up by an academy somewhere, did a good with Leeds youngsters
Steve Cotterill Wouldn't come when we where in the FL why now?
Chris Powell Would he move for us, who knows possibly earning more as a PT pundit
Neil Adams Would be interesting
Dave Jones If he still had the hunger he would do a good job
Mark Robins Scunny players saying in the week he made it too complicated
Mark Cooper Don't know much about him
Gary Megson Feels like he's been out to long
Ronnie Moore Would bring some energy
Richard Money[b]Don't think he comes across too well but "has" done it before
Your thoughts?
Good list thank for putting together. |

The old one? Buckely till the end of the season? knows all the players and is proven tacticaly.
Then regardless what happens it gives the club a few months to mull over new managers.
Just a thought

I take your point, but the unexpected happens so quickly in football and the owner should be ready for it. A month ago we were ticking over nicely, and I think that suits Fenty perfectly, but as soon as the going gets a bit tougher he is unable to be decisive.
I think the point about the difficulty in attracting a new manager is a moot point. It cannot be because of our history, as that is second to none. It cannot be about the support we are able to attract as that is self evident. It cannot be about our potential as we have played at a higher level for a lot of the time than teams like Swansea and Bournemouth who both had crowds similar to ours. It cannot be the geographical location - in location terms I would rather manage Town than Carlisle or Exeter.
So what is it? Budget and wages? The owners lack of vison/ambition? The feeling that we are a big club in name only and don't have the blueprint to be great again? Who knows.
In fairness it is now difficult for Hurst and Fenty. If we stick or twist and it doesn't work they had better be ready for some pelters coming their way.
The point I was trying to make was that if we got turned down by more suitable managers when we had only just dropped to this level then why should it be any different now 5 seasons down the line? All the points you mentioned about fan base, potential and location were as relevant then as they are now and we still had to settle for second best then. |

He wouldn't want it at his age. 8 years since he's managed a senior side, and that was us! |
