No Gareth, the most important bit is new man/woman will have control of recruitment.

Whether the new manager gets full control of recruitment or not. If Power and Sherwood continue to dictate match day squad / tactics and style of play then giving the manager control of recruitment is pointless imo.

We should apply to join the SPL as McSwindon. We could have derby games in Europe against Waterford.
All this talk of Scottish managers has me thinking that Pat Fenlon wouldn't be a bad outside bet. Turned things around at Hibs and twice got them to the Scottish Cup Final. Could work well given an assistant with experience of English lower leagues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Fenlon

Typical fucking Power, when he gets us to Europe... no doubt Waterford will get the slot. Or maybe he's no intention of getting us there

The fact Power has advised that the policy will change, would suggest he's already spoken to his chosen man.

Those were my thoughts. I reckon it's Evans. I can feel it in my water.

I suspect it is to get it out there to get a few more agents touting their clients interest in the job as the ones that have applied are of no interest But it does make you wonder if he would trust the recruitment to an unknown rather than an experienced manager And of course it depends what type of budget is to be given

I did think that but as you said, would you trust another Williams mould 2 with purchasing players?

The last time we bought a manager out of his contract was Bob Smith in 1978/79. I'm sure Reg will correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty confident given reduced budgets etc we won't be going for someone tied to an existing contract. They could walk out of a contract though.

I'm hoping it's Cotterill still but any serious manager would be an upgrade on Williams who we all know was a coach and not a manager.
It's quite exciting to me that we could actually have a manager who's able to build his own squad rather than hoping we somehow come up with a decent squad of Power's hopeful punts.
When we've gone down to League 2 recently we've tended to come back stronger and I think Power's statement today has made that a realistic aim again.

I've heard that he has already interviewed at least two candidates for the job, and no I don't know who
