Let's see...

* Experienced

* Knows League One

* Seasoned Manager

* Knows How To Budget

* Eye For A Good Player

* Good Tactics

So who fits the above? We must get Fergie surely.

I previously said Warnock but if we can't get him I think Hart and Halsall may just get us out of this mess. The players probably know them, they will certainly have seen games and know the players and staff at the club.

I don't mean to squash people's hopes and dreams, but Tisdale has already rejected better jobs, Rösler and Adkins are more likely to join a Championship or top League One club, and I doubt O'Driscoll would leave the England set-up for such an unstable job, although they would all be good options. If we get anyone in this season, it'll be someone who is ready to make the drop to League Two if the worst happens. And as we all crave stability, we'd be better off with someone who can build and manage a squad properly without the help of a blank cheque.

 

Some more names:

 

Mark Yates - eight years of management at two clubs, so he was doing something right. FA Trophy finalist at Kidderminster, subsequently poached by Cheltenham, where he reached the play-offs twice. Also assisted Steve Cotterill.

 

Steve Burr - Chester manager. Very good record at various clubs in the Conference, and is much sought-after at that level. Downsides: is Scottish and his head is shaped like an egg.

 

Steven Pressley - allegedly seen at Meadow Lane. Hopefully not.

I sadly couldn't give a toss anymore tbh 

Paul Hart and Paolo DiCanio: there's a thought.

First would probably get you relegated and second bankrupt you by the end of next season (although you would enjoy the antics and the promise of a tattoo).

For "antics" you really couldn't do better than a Di Canio/Martin Allen combo, possibly with Howard Kendall as DoF.

Confirmed Paul Hart and Hassall to take temp charge.

Provided he brings and pays for my pizza he's got the job!

Paul Cox has been on Radio Red saying he wants the job.

Not sure about that.

Definitely not sure about that.

We desperately need an experienced manager who can point to league successes on his CV. 

Avoid all ex-players, old boys routine at all costs please Mr Trew!

LOL, No.

For me:

 

Gary Johnson, Mark Yates (the right sort of experience)

 

Sean O'Driscoll, Nigel Adkins, Neil Warnock (unlikely any of them will come)

 

Steve Burr (best available gamble)

 

Not - Ferguson (either), anyone unfamiliar with 3rd division, 4th division or conference management, Paul Cox, Pressley, Di Canio

Terry Butcher at 33/1. I swear if we appoint him, the Trew's can take their money and leave.

 

No chance anyway!

Whilst Steve Burr might be a good football manager his morals are akin to Keith Curle, just ask Kidderminster fans why he got sacked
