Hypothetically

Steve Cotterill's available 🙂

Don't make my launch my ABC Campaign again..... I think Derek is still angry with me about it.

Unsure about bringing Grayson back, he had a very good eye for a player (Pearson,Hugill) but thought he left us a bit in the lurch and he may have become a bit stagnant (finanically stable after Sunderland)
The bloke who could be a good fit for us maybe another blackpool ex manager
Gary Bowyer. Finished 8th and 9 th with Rovers before getting dismissed after a dodgy start the next season. He worked wonders at blackpool in a dreadful environment and judging off their league position left them in a good position. He must know the North west well and think he could he good pick to stablise the club if AN can't turn things around.

I wouldn't be averse to Bowyer, if/when AN leaves.

Were bottom mid October , would you give Simon a call ?

Oh my god. What a troll.

 

[GloucesterPete]

Absolutely not. yes he had passion for the job but on the whole, the football we played was dire.

 

[Dirty Harry]

I wouldn't want Grayson back, especially after how poor he did at Sunderland and Bradford, not to mention the way he left last year.

If sooner or later Neil were to leave, are there any possible outstanding candidates out there? You have big names like Moyes, Allardyce and Pardew who would all want big money. Mick McCarthy is also unattached.

I don't think any Championship managers would want to leave their club for ours. So it might have to be an upcoming manager from League 1.

The best young manager from the lower leagues is possibly Cowley at Lincoln but we would need an experienced manager if Neil were to go.

 

[The Saint]

No chance mate, I would give it Surf before Larry ever got the chance.

Oh my god. What a troll.

Sorry I dont really understand whats trolling about asking a hypothetical question?

We are in an open forum of debate, If you look at some of the other threads at this point in time they are ... well asking some hard-hitting questions, "how much time do we give AN" "poll , hemmings in or out" , slighty inflammatory timing to post , to stimulate debate , yes , but troll ?

Just to nail my colours to the mast , I will support AN and the team until the powers that be decided its time for a change.

Maybe we should debate sock colours.

As in Lee Bowyer? He's in management?

 

[Longsands]

If the next guy is like a 'head coach' with player recruitment lying elsewhere the it wouldn't matter who was in charge looking at SOME of our summer recruitments.

 

[norky84]

As in Lee Bowyer? He's in management?

He's at Charlton.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Mark Warbuton?

 

[SouthWestWhite]

For what Hemmings wants Grayson is perfect. Can achieve mid table mediocrity with cheap average players and isn't overly ambitious. All great until someone offers him £50 more in pay and he's off like a shot.

I doubt he’d be interested as he seems to be making a fortune on The X Factor!

 

[Nishtar36]

Certainly not.

His win % since he left us is nothing short of awful. In fact, he was winless in his last 6 games for us picking up 1/18 points.

Yesterdays man.

Who we would get in though, jeez, that is a question given the restraints imposed upon managers at this club. No candidate really stands out.

Heckingbottom.
Appleton.
Cowley.

I'd sooner ask Moyes

I would go for Appleton.

we could do a lot worse than Gareth Ainsworth.

if the worst did come to fruition, I wouldn't mind Karl Robinson.

Mick McCarthy is also unattached.

Mick mccarthy will probably be in for it, michael appleton, heckingbottom etc.

The bloke who could be a good fit for us maybe another blackpool ex manager
Gary Bowyer.

Mark Warbuton?

Heckingbottom.
Appleton.
Cowley.

Looking at all these underwhelming names is exactly why we should stick with AN for the foreseeable future.

Well if it is a manager you want that won't move on if offered a significantly higher salary, then I suggest (no I know) you will be waiting for a very long time.

When a manager is appointed, one of two things is usually inevitable, either eventually he gets sacked, or he moves on to bigger and better things.

In recent times, Davies, Moyes and Grayson all moved on to bigger clubs...……...I personally don't hold that against them, just as I don't blame Wright, Hugill and Cunningham for moving on with their careers...…...that is what they are supposed to do, give their families financial security etc...…….nothing wrong in that.

Mark Warbuton?

He certainly had Brentford playing some beautiful football, I am not sure if he had to spend a lot of money to achieve it thou.

 

[One_of_our_own2]

I’d take him if we get relegated that’s for sure. Now not at all

 

[Jack Daniels]

Heckingbottom. Awful
Appleton. Don't understand the hype around him.
Cowley. Interesting but another lower league gamble
