If we was in the championship with a budget and aim to get to the premier League then we could go for Howe or Wilder.
For me 2 Options:
1. Johnnie Jackson/Jason Euell till end of the season then see who we can grab at the end of season. (I would take Nathan Jones off Luton if they get relegated).
2. Get someone in asap to start building the foundations for next season.
For me Cowley brothers are the most progressive option transformed Lincoln and stablised Huddersfield very detailed in their work. London lads as well.
People really think Wilder or Howe are realistic ? No premier league manager would drop down to league 1, no matter how much money they are offered.
Realistically, I think it'll be the Cowley brothers. Which wouldn't be a bad appointment imo.
just want to point out that neither are actually Premier League managers. Both currently managing the weekly chores rota at home.
Indeed but they are still well out of our league - they would get a PL job if and when available and if they wanted it.
Palace in the summer, as one example.
Not sure Wilder would attract many PL clubs. Certainly plenty of Championship ones though. If the money is right and the club vision is sold then you never know.

Will have to agree to disagree, I think he did enough in the 3 years before this season for several PL clubs to want to take him.
i really don't get the dislike of the Cowleys. They have a win rate of over 50% across 650 games!!
They play absolutely awful football, which is why they got sacked from Huddersfield.
At the end of the day, you can play awful football and win or you can play pretty football and lose. If those are the only two options, I know which I’d pick. Norwich tried to play pretty football in the Premier League last season and it didn’t do them any good.
We’re in League One, we’re not going to be playing total football any time soon no matter who comes in.
Would rather it wasn't someone already at the club, so rule out JJ & Euell. I'd also rather go with someone non Charlton otherwise you have the same problem we had with Bowyer when trying to get rid. Too much "he's CAFC through & through" and "think of what he's done for us in the past".
The flaw in this thinking is that people were saying those things because the manager DID get us a promotion in the past and knew how to get out of this league. Why he regressed so drastically is not a question I have the answer to, unfortunately.
I don’t think Bowyer staying was the right way to go, but I understand why some people had the feeling that it would work.
Realistically, we’re not going to hire a manager who will be here 5+ years, as that just doesn’t happen anymore, so I’m happy for us to bring in a Charlton man to get the fans back on board again and get us out of this piss poor league.
I would go with Matt Taylor. He was part of the 101 League One Champ team - he must know the best lower league players ( essential ). He is a mate of Ged Roddy , they were together at Team Bath and he has done a decent job at Exeter. Also he is still young - its generally a young mans game unless you are Bielsa !! - our best success came when Curbs & SCP were young and Lennie too.
I like the idea of the kind of model that Southampton, Swansea and Brentford have used, where you have a type of manager who plays a type of football, you build everything around that style from the youth team to transfers, and you put a manager in who fits the criteria. That takes away the reliance on finding a superstar manager at the right point in time or someone who happens to be in form, and makes the whole set-up more important than just one bloke. Barnsley are doing it well at the moment, they didn't miss a beat when their manager jumped because they just found someone who could build on what the club was doing anyway

And Barnsley, listened to an interview with their American CEO the other night, very interesting model they are operating up there. And it appears to be working.
Would like an up and coming young coach, as for Eddie Howe, look at his success or lack of it at Burnley. He went back to Bournemouth a club with a ten thousand ground capacity, the owners pay more than allowed to entice players to the club and get promoted. He got manager of the year for getting a club promoted and that promotion wouldn't have happened had they stuck to the rules.

Suprised that euell isn’t in there

Hope it's not a no mark from Denmark.
My gut feeling is its gonna be Harris.
