New manager for 15/16

[tans]

I don't want Williams to get promoted because his relationship with the players in a coaching role is clearly very effective and we may lose that if he was the manager.

Proboably be only 3 players left anyway so wouldnt let that bother you

[tans]

Another outside thought might be Paul Trollope, currently head coach at Cardiff, bags of experience, worked under a sort of DoF at Rovers.  Did a stint at Norwich which may have got him onto Power's radar for good or bad.

The CG would be flooded in a sea of Fatburys jizm if that happened

JFH wouldn't be a realistic option in the slightest, the way his managerial career has gone so far he would have his sights set higher than us.

Realistic options for me are managers who have done well on tiny budgets. Ardley at AFCW or the fella at D&R spring to mind.

Oh and Tisdale but I'm guessing if that were to have happened it would already have done one of the previous 63 times he has been linked.

Good point....make that a Trollope then.

Who do I want? JFH

Realistically, who do I want? Tidsdale, Ardley

Who will we get? Hockaday, or an "unknown" Power pal. Culverhouse maybe?

[Panda Paws]

Also, anyone mentionioning Holloway needs to take a long hard look at themselves. It's not 2006.

I think we can assume that the manager, or whatever title he holds, gets an input into decisions on players etc.....for example I think Smith and Hylton are Cooper players....whereas the Brighton boys are Williams players, and the Spurs/Norwich lads Power players.

Certainly it's not a job for everyone....The Prof (Hockaday to you young uns) would fit the bill

Hylton is definately a Power player, COoper had nothing to do with his signing, Smith is much more of a Cooper target and I feel will probably leave this summer.

As for Trollope....hell no, I know you always raise his name when the managers job comes up but he has no loyalty to Swindon unlike his father. Also he is a poor manager and his record speaks for itself, I am 99.9% certain he won't be in Powers plans whatsoever even if he did apply.

Ardley has a win ratio of 30% thats worse than Malpas! no thank you!

[kerry red]

We will not get a new manager in the traditional sense. Williams will have a free rein as far as style is concerned without the worry of friction between him and Cooper.

Power will continue to recruit the players. The only aspect is who will front up for the media.

I'd imagine Tidsdale's is even lower but he still gets linked to every job going. Both have their small clubs punching above their weight.

Fairly certain it was Cooper who spotted him when he was watching his son

I said an outside thought....partly because we don't really need an old skool manager, more a team player with something to add to the mix.  Cooper's record was distinctly average, but the collegiate approach seemed to work for him..

The only other time I raised PT's name was in the long running saga, that led to Wilson, solely because at the time I had an inside line to info, and this was what I'd heard on the grapevine.

Then I stand corrected, Power said on the radio previously that he had spotted him and had him scouted.

This upcoming season is his last full playing season at Everton and he's been linked with us in some capacity since Power took over. Spoke to an Everton fan and he can see Barry going into a player-manager role somewhere in a few years time.

But yeah, it's not realistic.
