Is there anyone decent in Scotland? Used to be a thing, them coming down here.

Is Sol Campbell available?
Mock ye not! I actually think Sol Campbell could do a decent job as manager if he could find a club that wouldn't pull the financial rug from under his feet within weeks of his arrival. I fear no-one will take a chance on him though. |

We were linked a few years back to Paul Hartley, he had a good record in Scotland with Alloa, Dundee, Cove and Falkirk. He was appointed manager at Hartlepool in the Summer, lasted 11 games with just 1 win at Pools. |

Was chatting to some Pools fans when I was up there for our game and he was not liked. Filled the team with Scottish dross. |

It certainly did used to be a thing, just as nearly every successful team would have a number of Scottish players in their ranks. Unless I'm mistaken there are only two Scottish managers in Leagues One and Two combined, the delightful couple of Derek Adams and Steve Evans; imagine being stuck in a lift with those two. As for managers currently plying their trade North of the border there's no-one who stands out. Jack Ross came South with his reputation high and returned North with it somewhat tattered, and it's in ribbons now. Why he's had to take a job at newcastle looking after their youngsters. |

He was gash at Hartlepool, even worse than Morris was here. In that he was also allowed to build a new squad over the summer and sacked after 1 win in 11 games with that new squad (who dropped out of the league at the end of the season), on that basis its a no from me. |

There is little doubt that it was the disastrous appointment of Hartley that led in the end to Pools' relegation. Yes there was a lot of the season left when he was sacked but the damage was done, particularly in his terrible summer transfer dealings. |

He was someone I thought about when trying to think of out of work managers. He's never managed below league 1 level I think. Bit of a mixed bag but wouldn't be suicidal if he turned up a the CG. |

I was scanning past L1 and L2 managers of the year and there he was. EDIT - Played a few years at Cheltenham so a small West Country link. |

I think he'd avoid going back for a third time to the only club where he's not done a decent job. |

Jim Gannon. As Manager, Alan Lord to come with him as DoF/Consultant.
It's probably what Town could afford. No doubt everyone else mentioned so far would cost too much for a club so skint or unwilling to pay the going rate as STFC currently are.
On a semi serious note, Gannon has always been good at getting a tune out of kids and instilling belief. Has always liked to play the game in a fair way too. He's no doubt done in Pro Footy Management now but that wouldn't stop STFC going cheap yet experienced.
"He has a very very good tactical sense, he is a great motivator of players, he works particularly well with young players and brings them on...and he has boundless enthusiasm".
He'd also be relatively cheap to get rid of when he eventually falls out with Chairman/Captain/Assistant etc but at least he will have probably developed several young players into saleable assets.
Alan Lord [hopefully not the ex-con but the footy consultant variety] in as DoF. Knowing Town, they would also roll out an embalmed Danny Bergara in a ''buy two get a third free'' deal; announcing them as part of a triple swoop. Being honest, Bergara [deceased] aside, something like a ''Lord and Gannon'' would give a millions better outlook/prospect than the complete clusterfuck that has unravelled this season - especially if Town/Clem do still want to follow 'the model' somewhat.

https://www.herefordfc.co.uk/interview-caddis-first-interview/Caddis first interview at Hereford. Great answer to what style he wants to play. Skip to 4:10 and give it a listen. "I'm not a big huge fan of centre halves touching the ball 300 times. I don't like it." He was desperate to come and manage here. Would have been proud to do so. Loves the club, knew the League, knew some of the players, had done some coaching with the younger players. I do wonder if we missed a trick. Morris was a right misery guts and his body language suggested his tenure was borderline community service for him. Cadds would have be quite the opposite. A gamble, but a feelgood one. And no, I'm not Hanners in disguise, as I know he bangs on about it!
