feel free to! I'd love to work in the recruitment side at Town or any club really, the only problem is finding a way into a closed shop.
especially if it avoids us getting someone like Bowyer in.
unfortunately, the domestic 'talent' feels to be at a somewhat all time low. I can't really think of any english or british managers than really stand out. I mentioned Manning and he has a bit more experience and plays a decent style, but, its a limited experience. Other league one managers, McKenna at Ipswich, was at Man United for a long while, but again, it his first job and whilst he is doing rather well, it is still a punt. Plus there is every chance of the two sides switching places.
elsewhere in league one, you have the Cowleys at Pompey, but if you don't know how I feel about them, short story is, I ain't a fan, I've heard things and haven't exactly been proven wrong. Their character wouldn't work alongside Deans either, let me tell you that.
Schumacher at Plymouth has been mention on the examiner, again, first job, continuing on from Lowe, I suppose that is succession planning done right! I'd be concerned at the lack of experience there, I don't envisage it working.
Ainsworth at Wycombe...now he wouldn't be that bad a choice for me, but I think the odds of getting him out of there are very slim. He'd bring character to the job and some drive.
what else has league one got?
well, club by club;
Accrington- john coleman...never managed above league one, and one would think never will
Barnsley- just appointed Michael Duff so can write that one off
Bolton- Ian Evatt, done well with little money, actually probably not a bad fit for the club, but I'd suggest like Danny, it would be 2 years too early.
Bristol- Joey Barton...enough said, actually really smart, also actually really a dikhed... wouldn't work with Hoyle or Bromby
Burton- sacked Jimmy Floyd, wouldn't want him anyways
Cambridge- couldn't tell you much about Mark Bonner. Was assistant for a while I think but has been part of the furniture at Cambridge despite being in his 30's won't be an option
Charlton- only recently appointed Ben Garner
Cheltenham- another new manager
Derby- see above
Exeter- Matt Taylor, got them promoted in his first and only managerial job, but I can't see him being someone town would be looking at just now.
Fleetwood- new manager in scott brown
FGR- new manager
Ipswich- mentioned already
Lincoln- new manager to replace Appleton
MK Dons- Liam Manning... the more I look at options and ideas, the more he does seem to strike me as the way forward for Town, despite not a lot of experience... put a quid on it...
Morecambe- Derek Adams...pass
Oxford- Karl Robinson...10 year ago maybe... although despite the whines and moans, I think there is a good manager there. But I think some town fans would be underwhelmed.
Posh- Mccann...relatively new there, but it would be a no regardless
Plymouth- already mentioned
Port Vale- due to other reasons i wouldn't be looking there
Pompey- Cowleys...
Wednesday- Well Darren Moore likes walking out on clubs, ask Donny. Would organise and lead, but not the one for me
Shrewsbury- Cotterill... no
Wycombe- mentioned.
League Two- nothing stands out at all, if we wanted a cheap option that works on a shoestring then Clough did well at Burton and Derby but there are far far faaaar better options out there.
National league- be desperate if we are looking there, but in saying that Paul Cook, has always seemed to play decent enough football and gets linked to bigger jobs but never quite achieves. His time at Ipswich is what has sent him further down the pyramid and I think the only way he comes back up is by getting Chesterfield promoted...but he is still a better option than the likes of Bowyer, Woodgate et al.
I'll post something about other names shortly. I'll see if I can find anything from abroad that intrigues me. I'm still very much in the Wolf pack!!
Another day, another door, another high, another low
