Next Manager ?

Quoted from ginnywings

Problem is, we need someone who can handle recruitment in Jan. We desperately need some new players. Could a caretaker do this?  

Could a caretaker get the players we have winning games?

The problem then lies with expecting a manager to be able to come in, assess the squad properly, get people out then in, then manage the rest of the season.

First things first - Fenty out.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

So, of all the available managers, who would your choice be?

You expect me to answer that? I've already accumulated more Red Xs than anyone else on this board

Not my job to select a manager anyway but whoever we get (unless we appoint another total new boy like Jolley which please God we won't) will be out of a job because he has been sacked elsewhere, we're not likely to get anyone who is any good and gives up a nice number to come to BP.

So long as its not Sol Campbell I don't really give a excrement TBH, its who is going to appoint the new man that worries me most, there is no one on the current board or the mob rumoured to be coming in who knows anything about football.

Be better taking a Fishy poll and letting us choose him

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Derek Adams of Morecambe.
He’s taken on a pile of sh*t with no money and now in playoffs and is used to living in the back of beyond as he used to live in Dingwall in the Highlands of Scotland

Why would he come to us.........?

Yes to the second bit and if he did would we need to worry about the first bit? We certainly can't afford to bring in players in haste and intercourse it up again leaving us stuck with even more duffers in the squad

Is Graham Coughlan on the bookies list?

We need 2 strikers at least to compete. Who is going to sign them?

Quoted from ska face

Can appreciate people want a new manager in ASAP to sort the mess that Bottle-Job Holloway left, but isn’t this merry-go-round all part of the problem? His chair’s still warm.

I’d sooner wait a bit longer and maybe go through a proper recruitment process rather than, say, having a board member sit down chatting wham over a plate of fish & chips with a mate of his.

Personally I wouldn’t want a permanent appointment made until Fenty is gone completely. Everything he touches turns to shite, he is poison and we need a clean break. Having him involved in any decisions going forward would be pointless.

This, give Davies, Dave Moore, and input from Morais (who is doing his coaching I think?) a chance for the next month until ownership is clear.

Quoted from Mariner1980

Not the Cowleys.

I remember reading a while ago whilst at Lincoln one of them was teaching their daughter to say "We hate Grimsby"
So they can urine off.

And Jose said he would never manage Spurs because he didn’t like them.
I don’t think his daughter would be part of the back room team.
We need to get nasty and Cowley is as nasty as they come

This is a bigger concern for me at the moment and add that to who will actually appoint the new manager? I just hope the negotiations (aka fannying about) does not cost us our league status.

I haven't got a scooby who I'd like to see but would prefer a pragmatist as idealism is not going to save us.

Take your pick, John Fenty? Shutes? The tea lady? (she probably has as much idea as the first two) A manager who is in the job for 24 hours? A manager appointed by 1420 this afternoon?

Whoever is put in charge of the January window just cannot afford to intercourse it up. Someone who is already at the club is probably the only option (if we must go down the line of signings) so Moore and Davies look like the only two with the inside knowledge TBH
