Bowyer talking like he's lost the dressing room and the plot.
If it's gone that pear shaped and he walks/gets the sack, who would you want to take his place?
A couple of nominees in my eyes...
1. Johnnie Jackson
The obvious choice, probably. He's been around the club through thick and thin, knows the players and would have respect from a lot of people around the club.
2. Jason Euell
Has done a lot of good things with the youth setup, and recent work with England youngsters shows he's got something about him.
Anyone else catch the eye? A couple of years ago I would have said Paul Tisdale. Gareth Ainsworth too, though I can't see him dropping a division and leaving a club he's had a long association with for us.

I want a tried and proven manager at this level or above with a promotion or two on his CV.
Nah I know.
Jason Euell worth consideration, and Jacko I suppose.
Hard to see what's to be done.
I suspect the dressing room needs a little love. Powell would be perfect for that. And i find it hard to believe that with his bubbly personality he couldn't get these players playing again.
Football wise, he has also got more than enough about him to get us out of this league.
Nathan Jones
Eddie Howe would be a dream appointment and might just be tempted given the set-up and location.
Yes, I agree that towards the end Powell went too defensive. Hopefully he will have learnt from that. But don't forget he had built a team that with just a little investment could have really challenged for a promotion spot from the Championship. Instead the rug was pulled out from under him. And we all know what happened next.
jorge Costa?
I have a lot of time for Chris Powell but i think he's a limited manager who has done very poorly with other clubs since he left us. Massive step backwards imo.
Paul Cook for me, but possibly Mark Bowen
We have to go for proven quality in these league. Paul Cook for me.
Very successful with the youth teams - Proven quality coaching there.
