When Artell goes who do you want next.?

Quoted from nealeardleyscrossing

The issue you will have is that if you want a new manager, it is a really awkward time to come in with what 15 games to go. People like Appleton need time, he has had a bad time since he left us, but did have us playing good football, but he was blessed with good loan players.

You need someone to come in, organise, have a playing style that is going to get you 5-6 wins - I would be looking at an experienced fire - fighting type of manager, that will put aside everything to keep you in the league.

I would at all costs avoid going with your previous two that took charge when Hurst left - Personally if they have anything about them they should be challenging Artell as part of their role, playing the critical friend - If they are not doing this they are part of the problem.

I would offer 100k to Duff until the end of the season - He does well, enjoys it, then he may well stay and he is a good manager.

Your wilingness to talk sense is always refreshing after that other Imps goading posts .

Quoted from WayneBurnettsJockstrap

Jürgen Klinsmann has got nothing on his plate at the moment.

He might come if he has heard that Grimsby is a dive.  

Not now but maybe for next season.

My thoughts are for a young manager of quality on an upward spiral.  Not tainted with failure, and not a long- term unemployed manager.  Someone showing potential from limited but key evidence.

We need someone with fire in their belly, trying to make their bones. Someone who can inspire our players to the best of their abilities.

Someone with only some success in his present position (maybe as a coach).  He needs a first managerial role.  I am sure such a person can be sourced with a thorough recruitment process.
a
Ipswich appointed a 36 year old coach from Man United.  He is now going for 2 consecutive promotions and on track for a 100 points.  Risk v reward.  They took a calculated risk and it has paid dividends.

Another option is a proven young manager from lower down the pyramid.  A manager who has demonstrated considerable success.  The Gateshead manager was outstanding, achieving well beyond expectations.  Before being head-hunted.  

Just not an older manager with several flaws or failures already on his CV please.

Only chance we'd have.

You would hope this very thing is being lined-up behind the scenes in the event the owners are simply left with no choice but to initiate “plan B” (or is it “plan F”) after the weekend, which even the most optimistic Town fan would have to admit looks more likely than not.

I recognise that this sort of thing goes against the stated values of Jason Stockwood, but there’s little value in values when you’re staring at the apocalypse. You simply have to do whatever it takes so survive.

I thought the guy who managed Solihull to the play off final against us looked like a good manager. Neil Ardley I think it was.

Currently embroiled in his own relegation battle with York City. Also has previous form for National League relegation with Notts County.

Oh, that doesn’t look too promising.

Just a thought; Adams signed Michee Efete before he was sacked by Ross County. Appreciate Efete was a free agent by the time that deal was done, but what are the chances Adams and the Club had recent dialogue?
