++++ Official manager rumours thread! ++++ (ed. Slade confirmed)

So far we have been rejected by Chris Wilder.
Steve Coterill, Lee Clarke and Billy Davies have been mentioned.
Other options Noble Vinegar or Simon Clarke.
Personally I'd go for Andy Hughes. Young, English, knows the league well and knows exactly what is needed to get put of it. Has been at the club before and had a good affinity with the fans. Is coaching in the premier league with you know who and I've always thought he had the personality for a managers role. Learnt from the best (SCP) and most importantly (for RD/KM) he will be fairly cheap.
I don't see why he shouldn't be considered, if Simon Clarke is being talked about well Hughes has more first team coaching experience and at a higher level.
Discuss.

You need to change 'Manager' to 'Head Coach'0

Good point that. Although in the statements regarding Wilder I noticed the club used the term manager rather than head coach.Ben18 said:You need to change 'Manager' to 'Head Coach'

My bet is that with 2-3 weeks to go before our first game of next season there will still be no-one in place. Maybe Keith Peacock (or Johnny Jackson or Jason Euell) will reluctantly step in at the last minute to avoid catastrophe and we will be informed this was the master plan from day one.
Managerless, clueless, rudderless and hopeless.
This appointment should have been sorted out months ago, or at least contingencies put in place. The incompetence is just staggering.12 -
Surely he hasn't used up all of his hareem of coaches already.1

I remember when Murrary gave Dowie the "head coach" role.....A trend setter to this day.Ben18 said:You need to change 'Manager' to 'Head Coach'
Andy Hughes may not be a bad shout. His pros and cons of what he would bring, would vary a lot. Id take a risk on him. It couldn't possibly get any worse.
The club is a circus though. Vicious circle going on here.

Nathan Jones would be my pick. But he has experience of the people running, or rather ruining club, so won't come back while they're still here.0

Yeah he's been gone too long.10

Di cannio, done well with Swindon in league two getting them straight back up1
-
If carver or lee Clarke get it then things have hit a new low6
-
Di Canio ticks a lot of boxes, from the continent, batshit crazy, controversial, (that's RD's preferences covered) knows the league and knows the club (what we actually need)3
-
Are these rumours are just managers we'd like? Only four I've heard linked are Clarke, Adkins, Davies and Cotterill.0

On a massive budget and managed to polarise all players and fans.CoveredEndLoyal said:Di cannio, done well with Swindon in league two getting them straight back up
He's batshit mental and outspoken. I don't think he fits the bill somehow.
Carver is an idiotricky_otto said:Others that have been mentioned.

Mackay a racist
Adkins decent
Ainsworth is s good shout. Always liked him asa player and done well with limited budget at Wycombe.

As I said on the Wilder thread, my reliable source who is a friend of Wilder, said RD would not use the term 'manager' only 'head coach' in the contract.cantersaddick said:

How about John Stills who is back at Dagenham. Knows these leagues really well.0 -
Bob Peeters. It's his turn.12

I fancied John Still as manager five years ago .. but suspect nowadays that he's well past it ..Eynsfordaddick said:

Also heard Justin Edinburgh mentioned. Though not sure why he would leave Gills for us as they will undoubtedly finish higher than us next year.0

Like the sound of Andy Hughes though doubt Meire would.3

If we want to go up I believe we need a manager who is experienced with a proven and successful record. This is not the time or the opportunity to give anyone a go who maybe OK. Both we and the players have had enough of this I think.
The best candidates that may take the job are for me - Adkins, Parkinson, Cotterill and Lambert. The latter being my choice.

Yes the flip side is he knows what this regime is like first hand. So no doubt wouldn't give them the time of day.Weegie Addick said:Like the sound of Andy Hughes though doubt Meire would.
Why leave a cushy job in the premier league for a basket case in league one? Well actually he does work for a w***er and at palace so he might consider it.2
