Next Manager ?

The question is, are we after an interim manager between now and the end of the season (who can keep us up and then be on their way) or a long-term appointment?

If the latter...Please not Hurst. Nothing against him but it smacks of a lack of imagination. I can see him turning us down anyway because of the fans being "spoilt".

The Cowley's play a dour brand of football and were found out at Huddersfield but admittedly did wonders lower down the pyramid at Lincoln. I'm undecided but as others have pointed out they're probably waiting for a bigger and better offer. That said they've been out of the game for a while so need to put themselves in the shop window.

But the key to success, Chelsea aside, is consistency. We need a manager who wants to manage GTFC, is proud to manage GTFC and won't jump ship as soon as another club looks sidewise at him/them. I appreciate managers come and go but we're fast becoming a basket case of a club with our high turnover of managers. It'll end up being the poisoned chalice no one wants.

For that reason I can't get excited by Campbell as a long term appointment either.

As for Adkins - we've been down this road before and it ended in nought. Maybe the end of Fenty's tenure will open up new possibilities but who knows?

Lots of questions and no answers but only the board (current or incoming) will truly know how appealing a proposition the role of manager at GTFC is.

I just hope we get it right this time and have a safe pair of hands (interim or otherwise) in place asap so they have a few days, at least, to plan ahead for the January transfer window, which is approaching faster than a speeding juggernaut down a quiet country lane.

Swin likes to sit on the fence, so no one can come back at him saying he backed the new manager!

One thing I can't be criticised for is fence sitting. I said both Jolley and Holloway were mistakes from the day they were appointed (I also welcomed the appointment of Newell and Slade II but I tend not to boast about that)

If you mean I didn't go overboard with all the 'in (insert new manager's name here) we trust' shite that appears every time we get a new manager then I plead guilty

Quoted from Perkins

I doubt they would come here, and it would be contraversial for some, but the Cowley Brothers are proven at this level.

They got absolutely panned on here when they were at Lincoln! They were tipped to go to the top but even Huddersfield was too much of a step up. They'd only come here if they were offered big money (not likely to happen) and they would also want the boardroom (where the real problems are) sorted out.

Graham Alexander's winning percentages are better than decent, and getting better:

CLUB  
Fleetwood Town  (2012 - 2015)        145 games   38.6%
Scunthorpe United (2016 - 2018 )  113 games    46.9%
Salford City (2018 - 2020)                112 games    48.2%

Would be a solid choice. Very much doubt we'd see the Cowleys or Paul Hurst here (but I said the same about Holloway).

What do you base that upon mate? Though if Dave was involved I'd be 100% sure things would be a lot less complicated.

Good question   , I get January being important, but who realistically might we sign who’ll be a “hairs on the back of your neck” addition?, and outside the official window we can sign “free agents” (and there will be a few decent ones of those I’m sure)
So, I feel not acting in haste, and allowing those with at least some knowledge of the squad should take the reigns at least in the short term until we see what happens re the takeover

There is no right or wrong answer, but this is my current best proposal  

Is Holloway still on the board? could he help decide the new manager?

HA HA like it

Can you imagine?     Anyway the club have acted very quickly in this instance.

Hopefully not long until we see on Companies House the removal of Fenty, Day and Marley to name a few
