and crucially get more people to renew their season tickets.
More than a few people have said that they won't renew or know others who won't renew if Parkinson is still in charge next season.
I've always said that I like Parky and I still think he'll be a good manager for someone if not us but if it is not to be Parkinson then who realistically can we get because I can't see Curbs or Mourinho coming or us being able to afford them.
So out the following, totally unscientific or thought out selection, whose appointment as Valley boss would make you most likely to renew your season ticket?
Steve Cotterill
Paul Ince
George Graham
Jorge Costa
Phil Parkinson
Steve Tilson
Lennie Lawrence and Paul Trollope
Lennie Lawrence and Mark Kinsella
Paolo Di Canio

I'd be interested to know why George graham is still considered a serious managerial candidate? He has been out of the game for 8 years if i am not wrong. Either he is applying for jobs and not getting or isn't interested.
Jorge Costa
Paul Ince
Roy Keane
Paul Trollope
Steve Tilson
in that order for me
As long as no one proposes Ian bloody Holloway.
Like his history of WWI but not a football manager IMHO : -)
Just as long as you lock the van first ; - )
Has done an amazing job there given their mammoth points deduction & player exodus.
He has got them to a Wembley Final & within sniffing distance of (although now unlikely) survival.
Could he be the kind of non-nonsense manager to build OUR squad/team up from scratch.
Paul Ince NO BRAINER.
George Graham would have been the bloke instead of Dowie but 3 years to late now.
I have mentioned Darren Ferguson as my choice before on other threads and still think he would be a right for us.
Can't be on big wages at the Posh and has done it on a shoe string, would come with a successful background.
Would he drop a division if he gets Peterborough up to the Championship, don't see why not for a club like ours with bigger potential to go further once he gets us in the right direction. Blackpools manager droped them for Leeds.
Sexy football please!!!!!!
The blokes been out of the game nearly as long as pig bladder footballs!
I'm not so sure. Remember Dowie was supposed to have done well with Oldham and then Palace, only takes one bad job as a manager and they go from a 'promising young manager' to not being considered at all.
We'd need someone who knows the division, would Di Canio or Jorge Costa be able to find bargains and frees from Championship, League One and even some League Two clubs? It could be exciting but could make things worse.
As said not sure why George Graham always comes up in things like this, not managed since Spurs in 2001.
Tilson, Cotteril, Darren Ferguson and that Scottish manager thats been mentioned in the past (what was his name again?) could all work well with a bit of time. So hard to say though, who knows they might turn out like Parkinson or Boothroyd - first season or two of their managerial career looks good, not so good after that.
Then you've got the bigger names like Ince and Keane, similarly they might work out but if they don't get things right it could get worse. Keane's never worked without having money to spend. People didn't like Pardew's ego, and whenever Ince is mentioned someone says he has a big ego himself.
Would have had him, won't get him now though. Same with O'Driscoll at Doncaster I'd imagine as well?
The one nobody has mentioned who I reckon we could get quite cheaply is the Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins.
