New Manager

With Cook, I think you can see that there is a good footballer in there, but he's not really a forward and not really a midfielder which makes it difficult to squeeze him into the team. My guess is that he would probably do best as somebody "in the hole" behind a front two but we're not playing that formation and we're narrow enough as it is.

He's probably on a decent whack with us so not sure if it would be worth trying to move him on when he can come in and do an OK job in a couple of positions.

Cardwell, Rose, Cook and Ring for me, assuming we get better replacements.

What about Whitehouse

Hard to argue with any of those in all honesty. If we are being brutally honest And if we are seriously talking about replacing current players with better quality you could add Whitehouse, Green plus possibly Vernam (unless his month in Chorley means he can contribute for more than a 20 minute cameo). In reality we are once again looking at half a team but if we want to progress that’s what is needed a IMO.

Vernam seems to be struggling to do 90 minutes for Chorley.

Understandable given his lack of game time. Scored again though. Against the leaders.,

The drunks in the P and M this afternoon were suggesting Paul Hurst would be a good shout.  If that is what alcohol does to your brain I am giving up.

Looks like his best game so far, he did actually finish this one. Maybe his stamina is improving.

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Mourinho is probably the only example I can think of so I think you are pretty much on point

My memory not all that on this but didn't Chris Hughton have success coming from a lower role within.

Though admittedly examples are rare. But we in the strange position that upon appointment our assistant more English football experience than main man.

As for the players out thing, we always say need to get rid of a bunch but in reality shifting underwhelming performers tends to prove difficult with one or two out usually at best.

There was a snippet on the radio earlier re JF saying that there has definately been an improvement under AL and he has earnt an extended run, interviews have not been scheduled as yet anyway and the supporters seem to be behind  AL so ...... seems like its his to lose.

i think in between the lines i read "cheapest and simplest option"  

Cook seems pretty injury prone too.

I would say there are several we could bin off if the  right candidate become available for our 'one in one out policy'. Presuming we can get takers for said players.
