Nathan Jones or Leam Richardson seem the least likely appointments to have some turning their backs on the Club but most likely to be serious contenders if interested. Of those two, I'd choose Jones.
Imagine turning your back on the club because they don't hire the manager you want 😂😂
It's what folk are posting though isn't it? I agree it's typical tantrum throwing "facebook mum" look at me behaviour. If it's not my pick, at worst I shall be beside myself...... for all of five minutes 😉

We all lived through the Karel Fraeye era so i'm sure people don't actually mean what they type.
There's none of the (realistic) names mentioned so far that I have come remotely close to thinking "if its [name here] I'm done", I'd prefer a younger upcomer to one of the hoary "established" names but I can see the arguments for most suggestions so far.
The likes of Appleton, Crowley etc might not be the names to have me imagining promotion at a canter but having a bit of experience and stability is not the worst result when we started out on relegation form.
Cowley has definitely made it to the second round of interviews.
Who got destroyed in the first round by Claude Littner?
Sol Campbell, he turned up with a signed, framed picture of himself with the Premier League trophy, a printout of Charlton Athletic's Wikipedia page and a copy of The Rooney Rule from the NFL as his supporting documents as to why he should get the job
Cowley did an absolute shocking job at Pompey. I really don’t know who I want out of the likely ones it’s going to be. Just gotta crack on and get behind him 😐
Finding the massive averse response to the Cowleys a little bit weird if I’m honest. They’re not my first choice either but some of you are acting as if the club is doomed with them.

I think it's because their spell at Pompey, a comparable club to us, was pretty underwhelming. Not terrible, but nothing to make you want them as your manager.

Cowley is a good manager at this level, people who wouldn’t take him have delusions of grandeur about us as a club
Sorry but that is rubbish. It's not about him as a name. I'd actually prefer a few managers who don't even have his profile. A few of us have put our reasons why we don't want him, and if you want to argue them then go ahead by all means, but don't make up a strawman please
I think the reaction is because we’ve tried all the different styles in the last 17 years:
Former favourite and legend- Powell ✔️ Hard nosed, authoritarian- Bowyer ✔️ Foreign coach- loads ✔️ Foreign non league coach- Fraeye ✔️ Progressive up and coming manager- Garner ✔️ No dickheads nice guy northerner- Holden ✔️
Guess it’s time we went for vanilla, bland, lower league bloke with connection to Greenwich.
I really think we could expect to push the boat out fo Jones though. This idea that he’s unreachable is odd.
A lot of moaning on this thread. Let's just wait and see who gets the job and get behind him. Whoever it is it won't please everyone, but as we are now firmly established in league one we are hardly going to attract the best are we.
Right, Scott Parker. If he comes, I go. It will be my last season. It's not even that I hate him, although I do.
It's because he's just a little bit thick. He lacks every skill set a decent manager needs. Inspirational qualities; tactical nous; luck; man management skills; leadership; and coaching skills. He has none of these in my opinion and have I mentioned that he is a dullard?
In addition, with his choice of cardigans, it would be impossible for any player to look at him and not laugh rather than take him seriously.
It may be me but, his head looks like it's a size too big for his body, and stuck on as an afterthought ...🙄

It's a professional football managers job!
Their CV is there for all to see?
So if..... No when he or she turns out to be shit they can say "Well. they did well in the interview".
Another f*******g nonsense.

I just find him a bit dull.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
