Edit: Either way, I;m sure there will be no need for a written agreement with KM on transfer control as he is happy to accept a pledge. (Ba-Dum-Tish)4 -

I can see by the hand gesture what he thinks of the job

Whoever we bring in will have some say in transfers, but probably not final say. I feel like we just need to accept this and focus on who can coach a team well enough to get us promoted.
At the end of the day the first job of a manager/head coach is to coach the team. Obviously it's very hard to say who will still be around next season, but I don't understand why every British manager feels like they need to build their own team by bringing in 10+ players. First off our manager should be looking at the squad we have and picking out some of the quality players and trying to convince them to stay. A spine of Pope, Bauer/Tex, Kashi/Cousins, and a new forward is really good at League One level.
As far as picking the team, you'd hope that would go without saying. I know Powell insinuated that he had interference, but have any of the managers since spoken out?6 -
Adkins did brilliantly at Scunthorpe and delivered the goods at Saints. I remember chatting to a Saints fan I met on holiday the day they (harshly) sacked him. BUT....he's at best flatlined since at Reading and Sheff Utd. Are his best days behind him? The same might be said for Uwe Rosler. Cotterill I've always liked and he has recent evidence of League 1 success, albeit working under a supportive board (whadya mean, we haven't got one of those?!). Following yesyerday's news from Rotherham, might Colin Wanker now be tempted to give the latest of his definitely one last years to the benefit of SE7?0

I love the fact that his current job was highlighted, as if the Steve Davis at 14/1 was the snooker player!king addick said:Next Permanent Manager Caretaker and interim managers completing at least 10 competitive games will be deemed the permanent manager

Slight preferance towards Cotterill as he has seen success at quite a few clubs. Still think Adkins would be a very good appointment and I'd welcome him to The Valley with open arms. Would be the first sensible appointment since 2014.
...obviously subject to him signing his own players.0 -

Did well at Scunny and then Saints (well backed there though), bit mediocre at Reading and Sheff U, but certainly didn't completely mess it up at either. Knows the division very well too.
Relatively safe pair of hands and has it in his locker to do more than that, but right now I'd take a Steady-Eddy who can set us up to be, at minimum, a competent football team again and keep us out of major trouble for a season or two.
Obviously I'd prefer someone who can take us straight back up, and he'd probably be more Parky than Powell, but crucially he wouldn't be Fraeye or Luzon, so on that basis I'd say we could do a lot worse.
Hell, right now, I'd be happy if you promised me the new man would just be able to coach us to defend corners properly.10 -
Right, declared it then, but have we heard of any such things since? It seemed that after Powell Riga came in and picked roughly the same players. Were Luzon or Peeters given instructions on who to pick?Bournemouth Addick said:

The new manager will probably be unveiled next week, though his name remains a mystery.
Ironically, the man Wilder replaced - Nigel Adkins - will probably be strongly considered for the Valley job.
Former Bristol City manager, Steve Cotterill, has been strongly linked with the job, but DK understands the club have no interest in him.0 -

Not sure I understand why the club had no interest in Cotterill. Credible candidate.2

Adkins would be a good appointment. But only if he comes in as a manager, with full control, and not as a puppet head coach.0

Justin Edinburgh has not been mentioned that much and it's true the season tailed off for Gillingham, but I saw him in his first management job at Billericay Town years ago and he's gone steadily from strength to strength since...and we are a much bigger club (at the moment) than our Kentish neighbours (aren't we?).1

When KF was inter rimming (ooooerrrrr) he had a live feed connected to that prick bellend belgian owner of ours during his half time chats , I heard this from a good source who I believe and they got it from someone from within our changing roomSDAddick said:

From the interview I listened to with CP basically he was astounded that players he had never heard of turning up at training but was adamant that he always picked the team without interference .Bournemouth Addick said:
