A Chelsea supporting colleague at work has suggested Frank Lampard, who has just got a coaching badge. I'd also prefer him as a player manager and playing in midfield instead of James Dunne (well I prefer anyone instead of James Dunne really).

Personally think we need a steadying safe pair of hands even if its just until the end of the season.
Trouble is I have a list of 0. Maybe Rostler ?
But I'm sure Power has his own plan. My bets would be Fenlon, Brown and Coterill*

Power has been chewing up and spitting out managers at quite a rate since he took over. I don't feel he'll get the next management appointment right either. We must be close to a new manager every year since he's taken control. I do hope I'm going to be wrong for the sake of the club.

Hmm.
Cooper 2 and a bit seasons... Removed when we were playing terribly and the fans were calling for his head.
Martin Ling not long, but due to a mental health so you cant really blame him for that.
Williams a season and a bit... Removed when we got relegated. Fans wanted him gone.
Flitcroft wanted to leave - but left us in the top 7 which I imagine was the minimum requirement for him (although after a finished season!). Fans wanted him gone too.
I don't really think you can beat Power with this particular stick. We're no worse than anyone else at the moment

whether people like him or not flitcroft was hardly a disaster so not sure that can be aimed at him. He also appointed Ling which wasn't that bad was it ? |

Flitters was a good appointment, and it's important that we get something in like him as replacement. There was talk in the summer of Jim Bentley at Morecambe. Although as he's under contract until 2020, probably unrealistic. |

I suppose Harry Kewell would be the counter argument. At first it looked like as expected he'd take them back to the Conference, but fair play to him for turning them round. Still a chance of PO's, especially as it's likely we'll be vacating a place. |

Why on earth would you want a fella who's nearly reached 50, never played or managed for a minute in England, or at any major European league? For me a recipe for disaster....
I have no idea :-) I'm thinking more for a temporary role until end of the season, assuming all the good ones won't be moving. Also, while all your points are valid, having all those points of experience does not always mean success, just as not having them doesn't always mean failure. Plenty of non-pro footballers have done well as Managers. Fenlon does have a Managerial pedigree, we just don't know whether it would stand-up in the English game or not. He did OK in Scotland, considering Hibs after him, and he's broken records in Ireland. As I mentioned elsewhere though, me personal choice for a long term would be someone on the up in league below us. Someone with lower league experience, who has gained their first job or two and is showing signs of improving a team. I don't have the necessary knowledge to see who that might be though - Challinor came to mind, but I know they have had resources. |

How about Paul Doswell then? Sutton Utd manage. He sponsors them I believe and works for free! Power would be all over that like a cheap suit surely  |

Helping out coaching at Yeovil Town.
Lovely cones. Triffic cones. You'll have to ask the chairman about new cones though. |
