New Manager Thread

[Costanza]

Wigan’s Spanish owners in waiting are keen for Sheridan to stay but he could get more security as Swindon.

I would prefer Mr Tumble to Sheridan to be honest.

This fella would be better - he comes with an assistant

It did end in relegation after we lost our influential spine of the team, Tucker, McHale, Kamara and Mayes. Along with Williams and Miller down the wings.

But the biggest loss was our assistant manager/coach Wilf tranter who left in 81 to take over at Banbury, he was a massive influence in the dressing room.

ahhhh....they were great days indeed (until Dave Peach, JQ).

Wilf Tranter was a massive influence in the players' tunnel too having been part of a decent ruck with Gillingham IIRC.....it may not be right in our enlightened age but a part of me would love to see a return of that spirit

Am I right in remembering that prior to buying David Peach from Southampton we tried to sign Mick Channon for £250,000.

Ha ha, I'm sold!

The option of Sheridan - complete 'character' - or Campbell - absolute lunatic - makes me think Noel Hunt, after a switch to 343 last night and a win, all of a sudden seems a good option. Which is quite remarkable considering the debacle on Saturday.

Maybe shortlisting these two headcases is Power's way of tricking the fanbase into being happy with the cheap option in Hunt... It's worked on me in any case

[Boeta]

The odds have completely closed in on Sheridan today, so I am obviously overestimating Power's Machiavellian capabilities

John Sheridan set to take charge of his final @LaticsOfficial game tonight before joining @Official_STFC. On month-to-month contract at moment, so decision to move a pretty easy one.

In normal times Power may have to try and convince people that an appointment isn't the cheap option. I think this time most would accept any appointment to get through the season.

Management success is such a lottery that I am going to make sure that i don't read to much into this one. We see it over and over again that what works with one club doesn't work at another. Throw in the fact that we have no money we could never appoint anyone with huge ambition with a 3 season project to climb.

The one thing I do want is someone new though in hope of a bounce and a new viewpoint to refocus the players.  The person coming in has to make this squad of players work with almost no chance of sculpturing a team to their choice.

I am sure Sheridan, if appointed,  will be up to the job.
