The reactive/proactive thing is interesting. Board could have been looking around during the last two weeks or so and if the slump continued they'd pull the trigger and make a move. I certainly hope they would consider poaching a manager away, the available-managers merry-go round has not been too fulfilling in recent years.

Quoted from Mariner93er
I think Hurst's ultimate downfall came because he's assembled a footballing side. Players who need the ball to feet like Conteh, Rose, Eisa, Gnahou, Wilson, even our defenders like Mullarkey. But Hurst has always struggled to create footballing teams and when he tried reverting back to his more traditional style, be didn't have the players for it.

So we need a more possession-based manager to get the most out of the team, definitely not the Cowley's or Alexander whose styles wouldn't suit our players at all.

It would be a risk, but taking on an assistant or a coach from the higher leagues who's looking for their first permanent position.

I also like the look of Parkinson at Altrincham.


That's what I find strange - he went away from all his core principles .

Why was that - Fan pressure , board pressure , just wanting to be different . I would be genuinely interested, to ask him that question -- signing technical players when he's had so much success with limited one's or at least built around them (see Jon Nolan).

It's almost like he was someone bored with their job so he thought 'f*ck it ' give it a real go to be a bit different , maybe the owners gave him that confidence - lasting 20 games on that run suggests so maybe.

17 years since he was first suggested and still going strong.



Didn't we offer him the job once and he said no?

Quoted from Manchester Mariner
Anyone remember that time when Stewart Watkiss was caretaker manager and apparently there were three potential next managers in the stands as we got walloped by Rotherham at that Sheffield athletics stadium? One was the infamous Mike Newell but I can't remember who the other two were. I don't know if I remember it right but I've got it in my head that one was the european manager of a minor African nation.

Obvs this has no benefit towards firing random names into the next manager cosmos.


Sadly I was there to witness that shitshow.

The recruitment guy? Too many cooks? Increased budget?  Data telling him he was doing it all wrong even though he'd had previous success?

We will obviously never know but it goes to show there will never be a set formula for football management.

Shame that Neil Ardley went to York from Solihull. Maybe Alexander is the best shout of all. Would love to see Lee carsley and jimmy floyd hasselbaink as names also touted as possibles.

But, id say the board will look at someone that’s been a manager befor.  I can’t see it going down well with an untried manager


I was just about to post, I bet Ardley is wishing he hadn't gone to York especially as having just watched some of their game this evening they look really crap.

My guess is they’ve probably been talking with people. These owners are proactive business people, not reactive. I think there will probably be an incoming sooner rather than later


Just watched Stockwood’s interview on YouTube, and he said that would have been disrespectful to Paul, though he could be lying I suppose.
