    Yes, definitely a sign that their "halo" has long gone.
  • Back home to Essex where it all started for them but that's a big slide for them in terms of their reputation. 

    However it also stops them being linked with us if MA went this month. 
  • Good appointment by Colchester:
    Is it their 4th manager this season including the Caretaker ?
    Cowley's return to Essex.

    he'll try to talk them out of the relegation zone

    Thank Christ for that. I wont be hearing him doing punditry anymore. 
  • Cowleys will do a good job at Colchester imo, will probably have a dabble at them going up next season.

    It's interesting how all our recent managers/links have ended up with League 2 gigs. Garner at Colchester, Jacko at Wimbledon, Adkins at Tranmere, Cowleys who we were linked now at Colchester. Russel Slade also found himself in league 2 shortly after leaving us. 

    Shows we probably make poor choices in terms of manager, only Bowyer really moved up a level.
  • A different journey, but Parkinson at Wrexham too, making 5 former Charlton managers who have managed in L2 this season!

  • Karl Robinson appointed manager at Salford
  • Tony Mowbray mooted as next Brum manager


  • Ian Foster close to landing the Plymouth job. Another young head coach with a background with the England age group setup.

    I think that's probably true of virtually all of our managers in the last 40 years. Even those that did go on to manage at a higher level, only did so once and with no longevity whatsoever - Bowyer (16 months at Birmingham), SCP (14 months at Huddersfield) and Curbs (21 months at West Ham). In fact, of those three, only SCP has had another managerial position (14 months at Southend).

    Although there is one exception to the rule and that is Pardew. In his case, it might have been who he knew rather than what he knew.

    Swansea City is delighted to confirm the appointment of Luke Williams as the club’s head coach.

    The 43-year-old joins the Swans on a three-and-a-half year contract from Notts County, having led the Magpies to promotion to League Two following a superb National League campaign last season.

    We are delighted to announce that Ian Foster has been appointed as the new Head Coach of Plymouth Argyle.

    The 47-year-old is widely regarded as one of the brightest coaches in England, and prior to moving to the Middle East worked for the Football Association across a variety of age groups.

    He worked as a coach for the World Cup-winning England Under-17 side, alongside current Argyle defender, Lewis Gibson, before managing the Under-18s, Under-19s, Under-20s and was an assistant to Phil Neville with the Senior Women’s team.

    Foster has also had a spell alongside Paul Cook at Portsmouth and played an instrumental role in their title winning 2016/17 season.

    Another club going down the "professional youth coach" path. 

    He's also another scouser, their 3rd scouse manager in a row!

    I wouldn't say Chrissy Powell did, we were in the same league as Huddersfield when he joined them and I remember us breezing past them at home 3 nil. So more of a sideways step rather than upwards but I see your point. 

    We don't seem to be able to identify managers who are on the up or when we do, we don't give them the tools to make us competitive enough 
  • Steve Morrison has been appointed as Sutton manager. He had been at Hornchurch

    Looking forward to seeing how Tony Mowbury’s Birmingham City FC get on after they hired Tony Mowbury.

  • Burton Albion have appointed former Swansea City, Barnsley and Inter Miami assistant manager Martin Paterson as their new boss.

    The 36-year-old ex-Burnley, Huddersfield and Northern Ireland striker left Swansea in December when then boss Michael Duff was sacked.

    Will Warnock still be managing when he's 81 to 86 years old?


  • Looks like all we has to do to secure Mowbray, was put out a decent buffet. Missed a trick there. 
  • Purrdog has signed for Exeter City
  • Tony Mowbray mooted as next Brum manager
    you read it here first  o:)
  • Flynn did a great job at Newport, but has struggled elsewhere.
