Does anybody really give a shit what a prospective new manager’s previous clubs were?
I’d go for Fatty Evans if I was a new owner.

I don't super care where they were before but Fatty Evans can fuck off.

Deckchairs on the titanic. New owner needed, otherwise it really doesn't matter who's steering the ship when the owner won't pay for a wheel to steer...

Flynn lost the plot in the end but kind of proved it this year. If our budget stretched for a proper squad, we'd have been okish. His lack of plan b and adaptability would have probably cost us in the end, but we'd have been competing at the right end of the table instead or what ended up happening.

But if FGR go down, he won't have turned them around really. Still, would probably be an improvement

How about Tommy Widdrington at Aldershot, they've done well in League and Cup on a midtable budget.
Matt Gray is a chilling prospect.

I'd take Tommy Widdrington in a heartbeat. He can bring Tolaj with him. No doubt we'll go for someone very underwhelming. Just please dont let it be Gunning, please. |

I'm in the ABG (Anyone But Gunning) camp, with one proviso that it's not someone we've had before, that rarely works out.
I'm not saying that anyone else will necessarily be better, but Gunning for an entire season will be a disaster.
The worry is that Gunning being the cheap option, Clem will go for it.

There is absolute zero chance we will get any manager in who we have to pay a). a half decent wage and b). that we need to pay compensation to sign ruling out any manager currently employed. I keep hearing the name Mark Bonner mentioned, the ex Cambridge boss with a win ratio of 38% from 200 games but he has a 40% loss ratio. At the end of his tenure with Cambridge they picked up 1 point from the last 13 league games, sounds like Flynn at Walsall prior to joining us. |

I'm not sure any of the managerial appointments under Clem have been correct - the closest was probably Flynn but sadly he was probably not helped by lack of budget and signing players late, and the shenanigans behind the scenes.
We probably got lucky with Garner that he had to work with an embargo and he had a DoF that got in the right players, and the feel good factor off the pitch probably helped galvanize the players.

Perhaps controversially i think Morris/Brand may have been a good choice. Unlike all the others they didn't get a transfer window and had to work with what they were given. Though i know Morris didn't seem that committed, but perhaps down to what he has been sold by Sandro.

Personally think Sandro has been used as the sacrificial lamb. Well partly.
Nothing has changed since he left, and are probably worse.

Didnt they tell Morris that Foundation Park was the training ground  |

I think more than anything the commitment to a new manager decides my views on life. Probably more than the players we sign.
How can Clem expect us to keep turning up if they can't even bother to get someone that knows how to run a team?
I'm not expecting the world, but I at least expect a manager with some track record and know-how.

I think the larger point is it while a good manager makes a difference, the cuts at the club, its overall poor set up etc will stop them really achieving anything.
Waiting eagerly for this Clem update from aus that's been talked about.
