I want Steijn or Jones but not sure either is achievable. It needs be someone of that calibre on the way up.
Anyone that is out of work and has been sacked multiple times should be an instant no.
Let's roll the fooking dice. We have got rid of Mick for being cautious so let's go for it and not appoint a safe choice. |  |

Would go for either of those but worry that if it’s an ‘up and coming’ appointment it’ll be the Cowleys who I think are fine at their level but have absolutely no experience at championship level plus don’t tick the footballing box I think we should be going for. Trouble is Marcus has heard of them.... |  | | |

I think Lincoln has been mentioned so many times by the fan base and he/they have been talked about so often that Marcus will think they are the fans dream ticket.
I don't want them but would take them over McClaren or half of the other out of work merry go round bunch | |

On what basis do you want Steijn?
No one on here knows enough about him to say they would want him as manager here.
That’s not to say he’d be a good or bad appointment. |  |

I think Jones would definitely take the job. Would like him to achieve something concrete with Luton first though, ie promotion, before we got too excited about him. I know there are a few in the game who find his confidence a little bit much. [Post edited 1 Apr 2018 11:53]

Your last sentence raise a wry smile given all that's gone on here.
I agree though, he's one I could get behind but think expectations might need to be tempered. A huge step up for him whatever anyone says. |  |

The only one of that latter crowd I’d like is warburton. Just think a project like us given time would be ideal for him and us | | | |

Good question and at 1st I really didn't. He is a farke like gamble, not quite as bad though because he has proper number 1 experience opposed to reserve level.
I have since decided he will be the biggest risk but potentially the biggest reward and the most clean slate like. It will be a massive breath of fresh air | |

I don’t disagree. It would be great to go for a bold choice. A manager who will make bold decisions, take more risks and attack oppositions.
But it is extremely easy for me to say that, I’m not plundering £5m of my own cash into the club every season. And if we get relegated, it’s not my who loses half the value of my stakeholding in the club. |  |

Agreed. Time for a very fresh approach. Other than Cowley and maybe McClaren. I'm not too adverse to most of the front runners linked. |  |

Evans should read this site for guidance. He could then draw up a short list of about 200 names. |  | | |

Warburton is the only out of work that I would consider. Need to have a good chat with some bees about him next week. Of it is to be him makes sense to do it now or soon. That makes me think it won't be and that we just need to wait until May | |

No Scousers. How many times do I have to say this?
Possibly a no Irish rule as well to get rid of some if the melts that started following with keane and still pine for him | |

Yeah agreed I’d be happy if he is appointed because it represents a shift in direction but none of us can say, with any confidence, he should be our number 1 choice. | |

Been successful everywhere he managed. Plays good attractive football... Surely no human could pine for Keane, even Triggs secretly hated him | | | |
| New Gaffer on 13:05 - Apr 1 with 4191 views | Mach_foreignBlue |
Yep ! Steijn or Jones for me as we both agreed on that in the concourse yesterday Truce.
Unfortunately though I don't believe that Evans will pay the compensation so we'll end up with someone who is out of work.
I wouldn't be entirely adverse to Warburton but his inability to sort out Forest defensive problems earlier on this season was telling. |  | | |

I’d be happy with Warburton, but having watched his time at Rangers, would be skeptical about how far he could take us long term. It was a shïte league, but they played some great football in the Scottish Championship. Then came the SPL where he got found out a bit. Teams would park the bus and he’d have no idea how to win games if the 4-3-3 pass, pass, pass didn’t work. His Plan B was to “do plan A better.” A lot of his signings couldn’t handle the physicality of the league either.
His defence was powderpuff too so we’d end up conceding a lot, but at least it’d be more exciting than grinding out 1-0 defeats. I think the pressure got to him at Rangers and he couldn’t handle the demand of the fans expecting to win every week, but he wouldn’t have that here so could do alright. | | | |

Has a bit of Eddie Howe about him. Which isn't really a negative to be honest. As long as he doesn't have the same air of smugness. |  |

Hurst would be top of my list. On the way up, done wonders at Grimsby and Shrewsbury. |  | | |

agree, think if MW was being seriously considered that he'd already be here by now. likewise with McClaren.
its mogga imo, then if he says no ME looks elsewhere |  |

The longer it goes on the more chance there is of it being Mowbray. That said I just can’t get my head around him bailing on Blackburn after getting them promoted. That would be quite a story.
The reason we haven’t appointed immediately imho is because the decision to replace Mick wasn’t taken until last Wednesday. Even if Evans had an idea who he’d prefer, he could hardly do anything about it until this past 4/5 days. | |

Whilst that’s true, the little we do know about him I like.
- He seems down to earth.
- He seems to think Town are a big club and would love the job.
- He’s worked on a small budget successfully.
- He’s on the way up.
- He wants (‘is open to’) a fresh challenge.
- He plays decent football (apparently).
- He’d get our attendances back up immediately.
- He’s exciting.
It’s a big fat yes from me. |  |
