Paul Hurst?


Paul Hurst is managing in L1, not in the conference mate.

But he came from below is my point. So did Buckley and Slade Mk1. I think that is the way forward myself. Maybe not the Boston guy, but someone like him.

Anyone 'with a track record of success in non league and on the way up' would surely be managing in the EFL would they not?

Can anyone actually name such a candidate? A young, qualified, hungry manager who has managed his way to conference promotion but is somehow still managing........in the conference (or conference north)?!

No. Because they don't exist and it's just an easy, received idea.
Everyone is a gamble.


It's the only game in town for clubs like ours though IMO: spotting the best talent from non-league/L2, moulding a stable and successful structure around them and eventually making a profit from them, whether that be managers or players.  

Phil Brown has been quite successful at all levels of the FL but for me he's not what we require.  He's generally had success when he's spent a fair amount of money whilst being unable to sustain those periods of form.  We need somebody who will make the kind of signings Bignot made but will take a more pragmatic approach.  With off the pitch upheaval looming and a dire need for structural reform at all levels of the club, the last thing we need is for the squad to be churned up once again in pursuit of short-term success when we're not in a position to sustain what we might achieve.

To get from league 2 to league 1, you have to win something.  

Not that i am advocating him. Just don't like the look of Phil Brown myself.


It's the fake tan isn't it.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Phil Brown has a decent CV and has a couple of promotions under his belt at higher levels. Needs considering BUT so does his style and personality as this will dictate the sort of players he’ll bring in and the way we play.

Fenty has fallen out with Newell, Scott & Bignot who were all big personalities and relatively outspoken. They were, in their own ways, uncontrollable.

I’m not sure Brown is the right fit for this club. He seems to fall out with people easily and does odd things at odd times.

Not sure we need that at the club right now. We need a measured and pragmatic head, with a clear plan of attack and s commitment to bring the right sort of ‘people’ to the club. Because players are people too. Dis, Pearson, McKeown, etc. Hugely important part of squad building.

It is a tricky job choosing right..., wasn't Slade supposed to be "measured and pragmatic"?

Yep.

And the points raised by Richmariner. Think Brown would clash and i don't just mean with the colour of the curtains in McMenemy's.

That's discrimination based on the (fake) colour of his skin! 😉
