Next Town manager ?

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

Hopefully now that the Lincoln, Oxford, Bradford and Colchester jobs have been taken, some of the people (like Leam Richardson for example) who some thought were a little bit out of our reach, might be available. No ex-manager wants to stay out of the game for too long through fear of being forgotten.

There will be a few more after the weekend I bet! That's the thing about the modern game - so many managers are just one more bad result away from the sack.

Hadn’t seen the Oxford appointment (Des Buckingham, 38, from Mumbai City - owned by Manchester City). With them, Lincoln and recently Gillingham all going down the young, up and coming coach route that certainly appears to be an emerging pattern, over established names like Alexander at Bradford.

Of the established managers linked, albeit tentatively, with the Town job, there’s only really Cowley and Leam Richardson that I’d fancy, and the latter is among the favourites for the Rotherham job. I’m increasingly of the belief that we’ll go down the path of a young coach that we haven’t heard of, or at least hadn’t until very recently.

Don't think we are going the route of managers from the merry go round.

Do you think if Neil Warnock offered his service they would take it? would you?

If we’re making data based decision making then I don’t think the club will be dismissing applications from managers who have previous experience in the EFL

Last season 3 L2 promotion places were taken up by clubs with “merry-go-round”/experienced managers. The other place went to a club with a manager who had worked his way up from their under 16s to take the top job.

The season before that 2 experienced managers winning promotion and 2 who might be described at “young up and coming “ coaches.

The season before that is was 50/50 again between managers with previous experience and novice coaches.

The season before that it was 3 managers with previous experience and 1 novice.

So the last 16 teams promoted from L2 have had 10 experienced managers and 6 novices.

And the current top 3 all have managers with league experience before their current roles.

Why on earth would we not consider experienced managers? It doesn’t make any sense.

We've already been down the young but we'll respected coach path with Michael Jolley.

I didn't mean for us. Roast em Bobby said the current managerial vacancies had been filled and hoped that some candidates previously thought out of our reach might become interested in us. I was merely pointing out there will soon be other vacancies that the more sought after managers might be more interested in.

Jolley was possibly more obscure than some of the coaches I imagine we are considering right now (I say, based on absolutely nothing), but of the 15 managerial appointments we have made this side of the millennium, I would argue he’s been the third most successful.

Tallest dwarves and all that, but Jolley is one of very few in recent memory that could walk back into Blundell Park without the risk of being lynched.

This argument is ridiculous because Michael Jolley didn't work, it doesn't mean every young manager will be a failure.

We have been down every single "path" with choosing different managers, this doesn't automatically result in failure for those deemed to be in the same category.

Every individual should be judged on their own merit.
