Someone involved in football said to me that we should be aiming to get a young "head coach" in (such as Johnson in 2013) to work with Thompson being assistant... Do that once we're back in the league above. Meantime we need an organiser/motivator to get us out of this one. There'll be foundations and a winning culture then for a more progressive head coach to build on while there's already a habit of winning matches.

nzlatic Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The post I saw on twitter about someone who looked like Clemence being walked around the pitch had a response to it saying he was in London. Sounds like someone thinking someone looks vaguely like someone from a distance and it being taken as gospel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Clemence will give us a 20minute window to get promoted in one week or he's gettin boooooo'd. Big Dunc wouldnt even get 20mins. l wouldnt join in but ld agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLen Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Would the likes of Clarke or the Cowleys drop down out the league? Managing in league 1 at pompey and Vale not so long ago to non league next gig? Leam Richardson was at Wigan in the championship after winning the league last job next job non league with Oldham bit of a drop off when they'll be league jobs up for grabs soon. We'll either end up with someone who manages at the level now or a newbie making his way in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The lowest priced really manager experienced at this level is Stuart Maynard, currently at Wealdstone. Can't be having that. Spent almost his entire playing and coaching career within about a 20 mile radius and I can't see anything in there that smacks of meriting a go with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It was a good night for caretaker managers. In the absence of our landlady I was in charge of the pub pool team and we won 8-2. A very rare score for us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u have a bit of vision we are a good option for back to back promotions and that would equate to stock rising super high for poss championship jobs so yeah I few would def back themselves to deliver and drop down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biased and rose tinted specs and all that, but this is such a good opportunity for the right manager. 6 points off the play offs despite a rotten start to the season and I maintain this league is as weak as it is ever likely to be. It's a golden opportunity for someone to come in, take us from 19th in the NL to promotion to L2 along with a day out winning the FA Trophy. We've got a good squad, big budget, great board and brilliant fans. If an out of work manager, or the likes of Mike Williamson, doesn't see that as a brilliant opportunity and thinks it's too risky for their reputation, we don't want them anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrek Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I think it's a good opportunity BUT should a league 1 manager fail here they'll likely be done as a prospect. People linked Darren Moore with York, he's now at Huddersfield. I don't think we'll be as inundated as we think from those who've done well at lg1 higher level.

Lukers1 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The more I see Thompson and Muzza on the touch line the clubs in safe hands on the playing side. If the results come I’m sure we’d all be happy with that combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These easy games will look great on any record but we need a manager who knows they can get going when things are tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a perfectly valid and well executed. Would you feel any differently if this interim team won the next 3 on the bounce. Not only the wins but convincing performances scoring goals and not conceding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning 3 or 4 on the bounce could be lucky. If York had been better in the final third we could quite easily have lost that game, however, If we continue to win and improve week on week I see no reason to change anything. I don’t think either side needs to commit to a contract anytime soon but if it gets to that point it should be an easy decision to make one way or the other. We have to make sure our next appointment is spot on and if it turns out to be Thompson so be it, because if it does then it will have been earned!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
