Looking at his time at Colchester under McGreal were always there or there abouts, twice finishing just outside the play-offs, once in mid-table and once in the play-offs. Can't help feeling that he possibly could have done a little better, Col U you thought were always a top 6 side, but he could never quite achieve this.
Probably another manager that if appointed you just say 'well we could do worse'

Anyone who has willingly signed Luke Norris is not fit to be the manager!

This isn't down to the fact that he's Liverpulidan but I believe he is pals with Jewell which will come as no surprise.
Colchester did alright under his management (without knowing what his budget was).
16/17: 8th 17/18: 13th 18/19: 8th 19/20: 6th
Experienced in yearly high turnover of staff
Swindon Town's record vs. McGreal's Colchester PLD7 W1 D1 L5 F6 A13.
His team knocked Crystal Palace and Spurs out of the League Cup on pens in 2019.

In fairness (Norris aside) his teams always seemed to play the right way when we played them, and as per Costanza's post they did remarkably well against us.
Wait and see but probably as much as you could hope for given current conditions.

seems reasonably well regarded by col u fans from what I can see
Though there is criticism he only had a plan A.
wish Sheridan had a plan A last season

He has a reasonable record. Not great, but reasonable. Probably about the best we could hope for under the circumstances and his alleged ability to work under a tight budget could be exactly what we need.

As the next court hearing is in just over 3 weeks I really cannot see us appointing a new manager before then. Why would Power incur another wage and in addition who would take the job knowing that they could be out on their ear in a month?

They will appoint a manager and Power has no interest in making a deal with Axis therefore this will roll on until September. The 'show', no matter how stinky it is, must go on.

The judge did suggest he could force a sale next month.
Not that I'm saying that's likely to happen.

He said that before too hence why people thought there would be a decision this week. There will be a new manager.

first col u opinion:
He did well with very limited resources and a lot of interference from above. He never got the credit he deserved from some people. But by all accounts was very highly regarded by the players. Strange circumstances when he left and I think it was a shame as he was doing well

I didn't realise Matty Taylor got the Walsall Job
In the managerial migration thread. I have been reading the Walsall forum which stated it definately was the Exeter manager and not our ex player but now that seems to have gone the polar opposite and it is our ex Matty Taylor! Confusing to say the least when even their own fans have no idea which one it is! https://upthesaddlers.com/t/next-manager/6394/1111

more on McGreal:
Very prone to sitting onto leads if winning at half time - which makes the 2nd half extremely torturous. Also, vary rarely did we come from behind to win games due to poor/lack of subs and lack of a plan b. You’ll very much enjoy the 1st half of each match.
I must say, he did seem to have his hands tied at points - so I’d be intrigued to see what he can do with more freedom in terms of signings & formations. But his in game management will leave you bewildered. Will be an interesting game when we come up against him!

A 50% improvement on this season then!
