I can see him reverting to a standard 4-4-2. The question will then be does he go with 2 wingers (Millar+DJ) or does he play Morgan or A.N.Other in one of the wide positions
No way he will go with 2 wingers & doubt there will be wholesale changes, just a couple of tweaks I reckon.
If say the Cowleys took over, I'm not sure they'd need Jacko really, ditto a management "team" where the manager has coaches he brings with him. If it's a solo manager, he'd probably want to keep Jacko on

Yeah, I reckon you're right.
With Bowyer leaving today, Jacko's had one turned on it's head day of training to prepare for tomorrow night's game. He'd need at least a full week of training sessions to try something different with players.
Maybe he'll want more energy and quick feet in CM though. And perhaps we'll see renewed enthusiasm from the players.
The players haven't seemed to be a happy bunch recently ...... let's see if they are raring to go tomorrow?
If JFC is fit I can see both Shinnie and him starting. Defence will most likely stay the same. There are quite a few ways we could go offensively. I'd like to see Stockley and Aneke together but Washington has done well recently and doesn't deserve to be dropped.
The biggest difference may be better mindsets from the players.
I think you will be the most London of Londoners to have ever managed our London club. When distances to London are measured I believe it is to Charing Cross, you're a Covent Garden born boy, almost just one of your well flighted free kicks away from Charing Cross.
(I wonder which manager we've ever had born the furthest away from the Valley...Eddie Firmani?)
Unless he was a home birth I don't know of any Covent Garden hospitals
Charing Cross hospital used to be between The Strand and Covent Garden. Now a police station.

He’s was born in Camden and went to school there Is there a hospital

I was born in University College Hospital in St. Pancras which includes Camden Town.

Jackson was an extremely intelligent footballer, they tend to make very good managers (regardless of the ability they personally had to implement that intelligence).
I actually think he will go on to be a very good manager. Maybe not at the very highest level, but he'll have a good management career in my view as he has all the attributes including his interpersonal skills which are a big part (and were possibly one of Bowyers negatives).
It's probably too early for him here, he needs to go away for a couple of years and learn fully/make mistakes, of course he could learn on the job so to speak ala Curbishley, given time, but I'm not sure TS would be that patient.
If JJ is good enough I suspect we are about to find out. His actions did the talking when he was on the pitch and when necessary he stepped up even more. The time for action and stepping up off the pitch has come. The king is dead, long live the king ?
Last time I spoke to Jackson (sober) was May 2019 before Rochdale game he dropped off his signed match worn ‘back to The Valley ‘ anniversary shirt round my house that he’d auctioned to raise dough when he was running the marathon . I said to him you’ll take over and be manager when Bowyer goes . He looked at me quizzically, well here we are sonny !

And what are your percentages on how good a manager he will be?

So if the away support for the rest of the season is crap it’s your fault...
60% gets us to The Championship 10% gets us to the Premiership 30% gets us nowhere and is tinned within a couple of years
Obviously guessing but I feel he’s got a good chance based on he has some decent people skills and I could imagine him being hard enough to do the orrible stuff in management.

Good grief.

Sven wasn't manager either.
He's learned more from Karl Robinson than those two.

Is there a hospital
He can hardly coach a team to take throw ins and free kicks properly.

Look forward to seeing what his personality and style is at least.
