CHRISSY POWELL CHRISSY POWELL CHRISSY POWELL
I think that’s dreamworld right now. Powell is an England coach working with world class and elite players as well as head of a Premier League academy. He’ll easily get a better job and have a better career than the pits of League One. Why should he go back to that? He’s done it.
Ainsworth for me, however he's been at WW for 9 years now and is probably very reluctant to leave
No chance.
Firstly Sandgaard has to pay off Adkins and then probably also Jackson/Euell as Ainsworth would want to bring his own team with him. Secondly he is under contract at Wycombe until 2023 so we'd have to pay compensation for him and his backroom staff. Thirdly, Wycombe are going for promotion, we are clearly not so even if TS was prepared to spend a lot of money on points 1 & 2 there's little chance Aisnworth would even want to come here when he's got a very settled job already.
Like I said on other thread can’t think off one successful manger for us that has no previous ties with us since I’ve been going Mike Bailey onwards.
But it's not as though the ones who were successful were recruited under anything like normal circumstances, with the exception of Powell. Lennie, Curbs, Bowyer and Parkinson (not successful) were all given the job because they were already on the payroll.
Every manager we have actively recruited, in any normal type of way, in my life time, has been a disaster. Bar Powell. Dowie, Pardew, Slade, Robinson, Adkins. That excludes the ones plucked out of Roland's coat pocket.
Managers, like player, will be reviered when they win games and slated if they don't. It's a very different club to when Curbs took over, its even a different club to when Bowyer did.
Johnnie Jackson. A lot of people saying he is part of the problem, but without much basis as to exactly why. Do you see the training sessions? Do you follow the advice he gives?
Truth is, as a club we have always fared better when one of our own is at the helm and there’s a good feeling about the place. Call it sentimental mush if you choose, but it is a fact of the past 30 years on multiple occasions.
An ‘experienced’ manager at this level doesn’t really work or exist IMO. If they’re that experienced and competent, then why would they be hanging around the bottom half of League One after years in the game….Unless you want another Nigel Adkins or Russell Slade.
Based on your own appraisal, have you seen the training sessions he gives? In fact does he give those sessions or does he just follow NA's instructions?
In what I have seen and know about the professional game you don't have one big training session for all 20-30 players all do together. They might do shape sessions and large scale games but even they aren't always manager led. The smaller group work will almost certainly be coach led.
The truth is no one knows, unless they are actually there. Even leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt as they are almost always agenda driven.
Judging by the way we play every week I doubt we do any work on shape. Defending corners is another shit storm where eveyone is defending in the box.
We joke, but Emma Hayes is genuinely a delight. If you're sick of Adkins saying the same thing every time post-match then you'd love her contributions. No idea how she'd do managing a team that isn't lightyears ahead of most of its competitors in the league, but we'd definitely enjoy hearing her speak

I'm not sure he would get a better manager's job given his past two went badly.
But that's not the point, the point is that the job(s) he's in now are better than being our manager.

The fact he's in the training sessions and coaches the team currently is enough for me to say no.
What about the fact that he did so also when we won promotion?
I've been over this in my mind for weeks now and my conclusion is that Jacko is the lowest risk possibility giving us the greatest chance of the 1.25 ppg we need. In my opinion he'll do better than that - he'll put the spirit back into us, give us a settled system, a settled team and demand 100%
One thing that amuses me is the alternative suggestions. Be it the Wycombe, Accrington or Harrogate manager - have they done the business at more that one club? Did the club they are now at give them that chance? Give Jacko first refusal, then Euell, or joint managers as with Curbs & Gritt. Give the chance to those that deserve it within.

What about when we got relegated from the championship, when it all went Pete tong under Robinson, what about last season, what about this season?

You’re kind of proving his and many others point. As the assistant there’s only so much influence he has.

I don't agree with this assertion that if the manager is not good enough everyone working underneath him is not so either, even though they may disagree with all the decisions being made.
He previously managed Team Bath, he knows the current squad and has faith in the players.
More importantly, he will take us into the New Age of Football ... a world of TLAs (three letter abbreviations).
He and his SMT (Senior Management Team) will monitor KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and all players will have an EPP (Elite Performance Plan) - which will include CPD (Continued Personal Development).

Seen it quoted a few times, but never seen a source. Where has he actually said this?

(Not saying any are realistic):
PL
Championship
League 1
But that's not the point, the point is that the job(s) he's in now are better than being our manager.
Easier, more fun, probably better paid.
he hasn't been in management since 2020, I think the list was just of managers who have been in work this year to stop the list getting too big.
He always seems to end up as Manager of a struggling League One side
