Oafc1895 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think he'll take Tommy with him so I think it'll be Holden and Lockwood on temporary with tony being brought in to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_blue Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Dowie will do for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longtimeblue Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If he goes, a decision needs to be made almost immediately. Unbelievably, we've as much chance as the dross around us snatching a play-off place and the appointment could make all the difference. There's got to be some reasonably high caliber out-of-work managers who reckon they could sneak us in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyleArmy1994 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Dowie wont come. He is comfortable nursing his Sky Sports pay package. I'd go for that lad at Wimbledon. Other than that, until I read on the official site he has gone, don't care! Onwards to Saturday with LJ still in charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) SC will go for another young untried manager, cant think of many hanging up their boots at the moment though. Clint Hill maybe.

Stevie_J Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd gladly take Johnson Snr, Rosler, Dowie or Hill but it'll someone far cheaper than all of those. Probably Paul Murray or Cliff Byrne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I think Murray would depend on Tommy staying. Rosler would likely prefer more from a club than we could give him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I reckon it'll be James Beattie. Cheap, young, limited experience, good talker. Him or Craig Hignett. It's certainly not going to be somebody with a long management history like a Gary Johnson or a Nigel Worthington. Rosler and Adkins wouldn't come to Latics either so forget about them. Them or someone promoted from within until the end of the season and then a full review then. The play off shot would be squandered by then though, you'd think.

BP1960 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I think Murray would depend on Tommy staying. Rosler would likely prefer more from a club than we could give him. True, but one thing in our favour is Rosler likes the area and even has a link with the Latics in that his best friend is Gunner Halle.

deckyd Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Might get a bit of stick for this but someone like Martin Allen for the last 15 odd games could do the trick, might not be pretty but think we could have a go at it with hard to beat percentage football. The football at the minute when it clicks is great but when it doesnt we are weak and awfully poor, obvious i know but at least with someone like Allen, he could instill a bit of fight and balls into them and the formation/tactics wouldnt be rocket sicence to undesrtand!!

Midsblue Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 There's a few out of work managers around..including Colin. Comes back to get us promotion.... ...I was told Ferguson Jr. but I see that as a longshot myself My money on Tony P until end of season....

beag_teeets Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Who cares? 1/4 of the fans will immediately dislike him for some obscure reason. 1/4 of the fans will immediately slag him off to appear more knowledgeable than the rest of the fans. 1/4 of the fans don't really care any more. 1/4 of the fans know we as a club are :censored:ed due to geography, world moving on, no money and no divine right to success. If, IF Johnson does go, wait for the appointment. There will be some interesting applicants and I hope Corney appoints the best one. Another "powerpoint" manager please, someone with something up top rather than any "Triffic" "He'll he disappointed with that..." "Good footballing lad" kind of dinosaur.

Handsy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Seeing as his playing days look over maybe Barry will try and get Ched Evans in as manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing an interim manager until he end of the season. Someone who has had experience at this level before. a gamble perhaps but we are two points off the play offs and if someone can come in and grab this team by the short and curlies then we might just get over the line. As others have said though I reckon it will be an appointment from within. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_lover Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If Dean Holden or Paul Murray get the nod, I really do give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latic76 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If we get Holden until end of season or someone of that ilk then, IMO, we are doomed for 4th tier football soon. Really need new owners who have fresh ideas and more importantly, cash. Very disappointed in LJ if he leaves for Barnsley. Understand it, better chance for promotion next season. But some of the things he's said smacks of Dowie leaving for Palace.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I don't recall a collective fist pump when we appointed LJ so if it was Holden, Murray, Mick Priest or whoever, surely they just get support & backing don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The problem with appointing a temporary manager until the end of season alla TP is that there will be plenty more shinier and more well endowed clubs in for managers in the summer. Now is probably the most power we will hold that a manager can become a manager and get paid for the 4 months in to summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Dean Holden bring to the party? We've been defensively horrendous since his appointment and he didn't come across well at all on LP the other week. Murray is clearly a coach not a manager. We're a league one team on the edge of the playoffs. Those would be conference appointments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If truth be told, I think we're another bang average side amongst 20 other bang average sides in this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Corney's so-mad-it-might-work managerial recruitment policy narrows the field considerably. It'll be someone with cash (any recently retired reasonably successful league footballer should do, but any recently retired premier league player wouldn't touch it with a bargepole). It'll be someone who has an unshakable belief in their ability to defy the football Gods, perhaps despite being only 5 foot tall with their boots on. It'll be this person's first managerial job. This person reckons their contacts in the game will help...possibly a well travelled player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
