maybe, but I still think it would be a bloody awful and risky appointment.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gary Bowyer got the job. Background of working with young players and not a bad managerial record.
Would fit the profile type of the last two appointments, i.e. has experience of getting out of L2. And may have been higher up on Power's original wishlist than Flitcroft.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

If I owned a bookies I'd troll the fuck out of everybody by plopping in the names of random 'shite' managers.

Would anyone notice the difference between that and how L2 managerial linking actually works?

It would be interesting to see a list of STFC 'bookies favourites' since Cooper went in 2015

I think it's complete luck I won't be excited or disappointed in any appointment until they start to put their ideas and players into a team.
we have done inexperience and it's worked (wise/poyet/do canio) and failed (Williams/Cooper).
we have done experienced and it's worked (sturrock, Wilson) and failed (Flitcroft, Brown).
It's easier to get more excited about a former pro footballer as they have a clean sheet and contacts. With experience they have club's which they have done well and also terrible.
I can't put any blame on power for the last few years. he has appointed strong experienced managers and backed them. It hasn't worked. we go again

You're right about a lot of it is down to luck, right man, right place etc. But your analysis of outcomes is very shaky. Wise wsn't inexperienced,, he'd taken Millwall to a cup final, and into Europe. Cooper wasn't inexperienced he'd had something like 200 game in management before us. Wilson worked up to a point, but he was culpable for leading us into Div 4 in 10/11. Flitcroft didn't fail... he left us in a PO slot and comfortably clear of the sort of slide we're now experiencing. Power is culpable for getting us into Div 4, his hope that we could "limp over the line" in 16/17 tells us tat.

God it's depressing being a town fan, the downward spiral just continues..
And people wonder why fans lose their mojo about a club..

If he takes us any lower in the league we'll be calling him Bell end/s.

I'd welcome that appointment. He did a great job at Blackpool and although he walked away, I was surprised he put up with the situation there as long as he did. Whether he'd want the job is another matter.

Neal Ardley just left AFC Wimbledon. Presumably unrelated but would be a reasonable profile of manager...
And straight in to 2nd fav
