New Manager Thread

[Power to people]

Cant say I'm overly impressed, must have been better out there willing to take the job on, I think I would have preferred Hunt to get the job

He gets my backing, as does any new manager.

What kind of football does he play? I hope he's not a hoofer. Asides from it being shit, we don't have the players for hoofing anyway.

Did a google and not seen much criticism of his style of play, more for his management style. Basically he has one way of trying to improve players - calling them shit and telling them to stop being so shit. And if they can’t handle that, to fk off.

Odds on him falling out with Anthony Grant before Christmas?

Odds on Anthony Grant decking him by christmas ?

A bit overwhelmed with underwhelment.
Nevertheless, he has got one task this season.
Hope that he will be up to it and good luck to him.

To go with this season's theme will his first signing be Sheridan Smith?

Who the fuck would be willing to take it on then?  Getting to the end of the season is going to be a challenge for most clubs, including ours.  They'll have jack shit to spend in January, that's for sure.

I'm surprised we actually appointed someone in the current environment.

If it's in addition to Noel Hunt and Tommy Wright then it could be ok in the short term.

[RobertT]

I remember Sheridan as a player but have little knowledge of his managerial career.  Seems a bit all over the shop - some notable successes and failures.  Didn't even remember him being the Manager at Chesterfield when they beat us at Wembley.

Seems he has worked with Wright before and Jewell.

I've got a few mates who are Oldham fans, he's considered to be the messiah there.

"he's a good manager when scrapping for points to avoid relegation"

Sounds like just what is needed in the current predicament, in on a fire fighting basis and see where we are at the end of the season.

[Quagmire]

Can’t see this as anything more than getting an experienced head in to make sure we are a league 1 club next season, whilst Power deals with the court cases and tries to sell the club.
Hunt is probably to big a risk in Power eyes for his first job to be a potential relegation battle.

I’d be amazed if his contract is longer than this season, it’s not a long term appointment, it’s a stop gap.

It makes complete sense when looked at like that, we aren’t going to be challenging this season, we are in a battle to stay up and we are skint, Sheridan is coming in to steady the ship, nothing more, nothing less.

[Red Frog]

This'll do for me. Mainly surprised Power moved so quickly. Hopefully provides a bit of stability and focus for the team. Anything that keeps our heads above water.

[Cheltred]

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

There were rumours to that effect - but of course we didn't!

[FormerlyPlymRed]

If its a cheap deal to the end of the season and we stay up then I'll take that.

If it's a "long term" option then I'm very underwhelmed. Hope it's until the end of the season and we then take a punt of someone new from lower leagues, give someone fresh a chance.

[Valid Pint]

We are Sheridan's red & white army!
