It’s an interesting name for sure. Would have to be wary of it being a Garner part 2 situation but he’s built himself a solid reputation over a few years at Halifax and now at Barrow.MarcusH26 said:sam3110 said:
Wild of Barrow has been mentioned in a couple of articlesMarcusH26 said:The in work bit is what surprises me , I'm wondering if there's maybe some PL2/academy type managers in that group. Because beyond Mark Bonner I'm struggling with names of in work managers that would be of interest.
Pete Wilds name comes up with a lot of League 1 vacancies it seems. I don't honestly know a whole lot about him bar his stint at Oldham when he was thrown in at the deep end from their academy and won at Fulham in the FA Cup.
The last manager poached from Barrow hasn’t done too badly at his current club.1 -
Much as I rate Chris Powell, I think either him or Curbs would have struggled to have got a tune out of this squad.0

Bowyer seems to be a decent impact manager. There also seems to be a touch of Mourinho in him too, in that after a period of time his methods seem to lose their impact.cantersaddick said:With us Powell struggled when given someone else's squad and was expected to find a way to get more out of them. Where he excelled was in building a squad of the right characters and personalities that suited his management style. He got them to buy into what he wanted and they were all willing to put their bodies on the line for him.
Bowyer was different. Don't know if it's about his tougher approach makes him able to give players that kick up the arse but last time around he got much more out of Gobbos squad than Gobbo did. But things went sour over time when players got fed up with his style.
With the window about to close and no time to really build a squad I do wonder about whether SCP would be able to get enough extra out of this bunch. I really don't think there are enough of the right type of characters in there for him to work.
Bow might be able to give them a kick up the backside at least in the short term that might work.3 -
How high should we be aiming if nobody half decent wants the job?hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Appleton is the ultimate uninspiring journeyman - we can surely aim higher.
Can't imagine anybody half decent would want the job.
Sounds like we’re aiming at exactly the right height.1 -
I've always thought Pearce would make a good coach, based on nothing in particular just think he could be suited to the role.
We seemingly only do well with ex players in charge, so on that basis Powell or Bowyer will do for me. Any other lower league journeyman is destined to fail as we've seen far too many times recently1 -
Ooooo......its getting exciting.
A new manager AND new players. Just like xmas.
How many more sleeps ????18 -
Didn’t realize that was the team that day.WSS said:
Makes me feel sick:soapboxsam said:Would Chris Powell want to commit 70 hours a week minimum to Charlton Athletic as manager ?
I thought he had other projects on the go at the moment.
I remember the Dagenham away match well and I would hate to see middle age/old men giving Chris abuse again if he couldn't turn around the fortunes of this small squad(will get a tad bigger)
I believe we were on a run of lost 6 out of 7 with the squad that Powell had no input with before that depressing day on the Essex borders.
Powell/Dyer/Chappel had the whole summer window to use their contacts to change the squad.
I personally thought it might suit Chris to be the shoulder to lean on and go left field with Ryan Mason.Ross WornerChristian DaillyMatt FryCarl JenkinsonMiguel Angel LleraAlan McCormackJose SemedoDean ParrettScott WagstaffFrank NoubleBradley Wright-Phillips
Terrible game .
Peacock was very pissed off with the abuse.
I actually managed to speak with Dailly after the match. He apologized for the performance that afternoon of the team.
Would love to see Powell back , but SMT must work with him. Think that’s very unlikely.0 -
Not going to lie, think it's a pretty huge red flag with Powell that literally the one place he's had success with is with us a pretty long time ago. He just strikes me as a great assistant manager in all honesty but I'd want someone else building the squad and managing them, and he'd seem like someone great to have on the coaching staff in training.
Other managers at this level who I know enough about to suggest instead though is obviously a small list, but Powell just seems a bit of a desperate choice.2 -
I’m confused.Has the club spoken to Powell or not?
Has a realistic proposal been given to him or not?0 - Sponsored links:

Hopefully in the short term Pearce can be relied on to sort out our defence and then whoever the new manager ends up being they don't throw that away.0
-
Powell is a special bloke who I have so much time for. Oozes class and composure - yes please!Really liked Bowyer too but public appraisals of player performance not so much…7
-
Another plus to Powell coming in is the time hes spent with england/tottenham not only what he would have learnt and experienced but his contacts and links with people/coaches and players now must be pretty extensive
really think he could bring ALOT to this club now that maybe he didnt have first time he was here7 -
Like the player who he drove to the training ground himself who was so forgettable I dont remember his name.0

I know expectations are set to low, but really?!
We’re nearly bottom of league 2 with a poor squad and no manager at the end of August. It would be odd if expectations were sky high . I do wonder who you might prefer ?
Nathan Jones or Leam Richardson. Both perfectly gettable and infinitely more ambitious than bringing back former managers.
What has Richardson achieved that is so ambitious ? Jones wouldn’t touch this0 -

Manager of Wigan when they won this division two years ago. Sacked perhaps unfairly in the Championship, they nosedived under their next manager Kolo Toure.wmcf123 said:Valley11 said:wmcf123 said:Valley11 said:A clamour for Bowyer and even considering Cowley or a return for Robinson makes me wonder if we deserve what we’re getting at the moment.

Usually you’d think he’d hold on for a Championship gig but he’s been out of work almost 12 months so could be happy with another crack at a decent sized club in L1.1 - Sponsored links:

Too early, and I don’t think he’d want to come back this soon anyway. Let him do well with AFC Wimbledon, a club that will give him time. He’d be silly to come back here and probably end up sacked in a years timeCH4RLTON said:Am I not the only person who think Johnnie Jackson might be worth a second crack at the whip?1 -
