Who?

There are some good out of work managers at present.

Those suggesting Davies or Collins (add to that Disley, Macca, or any other ex-player with no experience) are crackers, in my opinion, this is not the time for a gamble (I know every manager is a gamble, but less so when they actually managed a club!) when the Conference is staring us in the face.

There are some good out of work managers at present.

But why are they out of work? And are they that desperate to get back into work that they would want to come to GTFC and work with Fenty and old 'Shut Up'? If they have all been sacked and paid off they will all be having a nice paid rest rather than jumping into a intercourse up like Grimsby Town post Slade

At least Sol Campbell hasn't been sacked anywhere yet!

Long term I wouldn't  mind taking a punt on Luke Garrard at Boreham Wood. We had the right idea when appointing Bignot just unfortunately the board obviously didn't put any effort into researching what he was like because he was definitely not the right man. But a young up and coming manager who will know which players are worth snapping up from non-league would be potentially a risk worth taking.

Boreham Wood are the smallest club in the National League by some distance, not even averaging 700 at home games and as far as I'm aware they don't have a sugar daddy pumping money in. They get a bit of money from letting Arsenal use their ground for their reserves, women's team and youth team but other than that not a lot. They're currently sixth, six points behind the leaders and with a goal difference of +15. If they win their game in hand, they'll go ahead of Tranmere and only be just behind Pearson's Wrexham. Garrard has only been there for two years and he's only 32, the youngest manager in the top five divisions. When we took Bignot, Solihull were 17th and with a negative goal difference and that was after he'd been there for almost five seasons so it's not really all that surprising that he was a disaster. If we were going to go down the route of up and coming manager again, then Garrard would be my choice.

I don't think most on that list would come here.

Stuart McCall. Though he has been sacked after a bad run in the last 6 games or so Bradford are still in a play off position.

Whoever comes in will need to be able to set up what is in essence a set of National League players to win 14 points in 13 games.

Don't get too excited ladies & gents John will have done sweet FA to move Salde on.

But all his contacts and scouting knowledge would be southern based you'd have thought? Though that hasn't bothered the Cowley's.

I would be strongly against Sol Campbell, sick of his claims of racism. He was moaning a while back he should have captained England more than Beckham.

I don't care who the next manager is to be quite frank as long as they play exciting attractive football and have tactical know how, can get players playing and score a illegitimate goal.

The main thing I'm bothered about is that we're looking for a new manager sooner rather than later.

The only thing keeping me relatively sane at the moment (although if you know me you'll question that!) is that Bignot was sacked on a Monday.

I'd take him in a shot but he wouldn't come to us Matt, why would he? whats the attraction?

Borehamwood don't have  a sugar daddy as such but they do have a couple of people behind them with a bit of cash who have been buying up the equity in the club in recent years, A colleague of mine family actually started the club and they have just sold their remaining stake, not for millions but that in itself would suggest they have plans to move forward, Though you have Stevenage, Watford and Barnet nearby that area is densly populated and could easily sustain another league club - watch this space!

Like you said, it hasn't stopped the Cowleys. He's been managing in the NL which is not a regional league, he'll know the players in that division and more than likely know some the level below who might be up to the job as well.
