The experienced ones that know the league and had some form of success in recent years at this level are
Karl Robinson or Graham Alexander but frankly can’t see either wanting the job as it’s become a bit of a poisoned chalice lately.
I may be misremembering it but my memory of graham alexander teams were quite negative styles of play and I think we’d desperately want some entertainment after this dire run.
likelihood is it will probably be a relative unknown or assistant to someone else who comes in.
When we’ve changed managers as often as we have with no improvement it’s time to look elsewhere. Who are the constants in the failure of the club? It’s not all those different managers…
@KingCrod with Everton Andy as his assistant. Debriefs live on YouTube.
The Bescot will become the most difficult place (in Lge 2) to go. Audiences will soar.
This may not be a cheap option though.
We need to stump up for someone like
Paul Warne
John Mousinho
Matt Bloomfield
Dean Holden etc etc and stop pissing about offering 8 so called top managers a few hundred grand a year
I wonder what it has cost us in contracts for the last 8 managers? i bet it’s nowhere near what it would cost to have a successful ONE over 8 years
Our managers won’t be on anything like a couple of hundred grand a year I wouldn’t think. I could be wrong, I remember hearing what Hutchings and O’Connor were earning when they were here. I was earning almost as much working as a forklift driver.
I’m pretty confident Dean Smith was on about 150K but that was close to the end of his tenure so probably had bonuses and pay improvements, I’ve not heard of any other manager getting that high though and certainly can’t imagine anyone’s been close to that since.
