Who should be our next manager?

[Joolz]

Please not one of the old boy legends. Great for the fans (initially at least), but the players will have no idea who they are and will not feel the same. Also, painful watching the inevitable abuse that will come their way.

For me, based on Ron's recent statement, the new manager will have links with our Club, either currently or in the past and has already been approached and the deal all but done. As far as Sol is concerned the statement that he has left by mutual consent will probably suit him professionally (and possibly personally) and hopefully suits Ron financially too. As for his coaching team, Sol brought them in and I hope is the one compensating them for this short term stint.

This poll is meaningless,we all know ron always picks someone u would not expect!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Don't get the love for this guy based on his BBC Essex commentary. Sounds like a bit of a dinosaur to me, I'd rather pennyfather if we were having one of the BBC Essex lot but can't say I want either

Clearly you never saw Paul Clark play or manage for us.Probably not Penny either.

I get that totally, but what if we'd said that before tilson came in.

Id like to see barrett with an experienced no.2 like the tilly and brush combo.

Roll the dice.

Is there many goalkeepers that have made it as a manager?

Nuno Espírito Santo at Wolves is the only one I think of. Rarely seems to happen!

I am genuinely intrigued by it. Always find it strange that they don’t seem to go into management.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. He managed us in the 80s, a lot has changed since then grandad ?

That's why I voted for Bart

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Don't give him any ideas. Was it Ron Noades? - was Chairman at Wimbledon, Crystal Pace and the Brentford I think- when the latter got relegated appointed himself as manager and got them promoted...

He had the money to do it!

Quick google search showed up a few more well known managers... Nigel Adkins, Julen Lopetegui, Kevin Blackwell.

Never knew any of those were keepers though.

Has to be Adam with either Kev or Tilly in support and a daily consultancy link to Paul Clark. All men that know the club, know lower league football, care and can relate to the fans. We've had none of that with Sol & Co or 007.

I don't buy this 'not another club legend' thing - if they have the right qualities for our situation and want the job then that's all you can ask for. That they are all great folk and we all know they really do care is a huge bonus on top. Probably that they will not be the most expensive option either is a further bonus.

If they do fail (and ultimately they will in this game, though hopefully not for many years) it will not for me tarnish their club image, they'll all remain heroes and really nice genuine folk. Chrissy Powell in my eyes remains a great Shrimper even tho the management thing didn't work out, and if we had not tried him after Brown left then many would be wanting to give him a try now. The cry for Adam will carry on until he gets the job whether now or years down the line, and rightly so, so give him it now.

And he's SUEPA President.

And he's got impeccably good reading taste.

I’ve been told that Fagan is currently preparing for pre-season.

Make of that what you will

 

[tottenham541]

If his willing to give it a go I’d give Duncan a go as he knows a lot of these youngsters inside out and will get the best out of them.

 

[Alf Tupper]

Ian Culverhouse anyone? Currently at Kings Lynn (2nd spell) having been assistant to Park Lambert at Norwich, Aston Villa and Col U.

In the time he has been with the club, Fagan has been impressive.

Each to their own, mine is based on what I have seen, heard and been told.

 

[GBJ]

Most importantly, it’s continuity for the players.

Fagan isn’t just the man for right now, he’s the man to lead us over the next few years. That’s what we need

What about Jose Mourinho thought he was a keeper?
