Possible New Managers

my choice would be nicky law ,steve kember, steve claridge, although claridge is more than likely earning more at weymouth.

BB's absolutely right. Advertising and appointing a new manager and getting them in post could take several weeks, it will be too late to have any impact by then and I doubt we could affford most people mentioned.

If Wally does go then the Board have to have a replacement lined up beforehand otherwise the reality is its' Thompson and Stannard for the rest of the season.

I agree, it looks like WD for the rest of the season :( .

It has always amazed me that Perryman hasn't worked in the UK. He was a success in Japan. I would vote for Perrymans return if and when Wally goes.

Forzoni is an interesting suggestion. I didn't know he was a qualified coach. His motivational skills might give our players that extra self belief they so dearly need.

I hope we would never get some lardy arse teacup throwing barra boy, this style of management is slowly dying out.

What's John Collins upto these days? I reckon he'd be a good coach.

Claridge is on £1,500 per week at Weymouth and has a sizeable wedge coming his way via a large bet struck on Weymouth winning the league, alledgedly!

Claridge would be superb, he would even be on the doorstep of SKY TV for his television work which would be an interesting selling point.

Geoff Taylor until a permanent appointment can be made. Possible options:- Perryman, Cotterill, Cockerill or many more that aren't working right now. Advertise the job and interview them properly (I'll help if the current board don't have proper experience in interviewing job candidates).

But Ed, you see none of these experienced out of work ex managers would consider the job, you know that.Also, the board do not need out side help on this or any other matter other wise Im sure theyd ask for it wouldnt they!

Steve Cotterill did a good job at Cheltenham and then went to Sunderland to be ****ed up by Howard Wilkinson. So far as I know he ain't worked for a year so what about him?

He is naow Mickey Adams No2 at Leicester.
 

Possible New Managers

Claridge would be worth a gamble but not as player manager - he was like an old man on Saturday.

He's a coach at Fulham i think possibly the youth team?

I think he'd be a good choice, and more importantly he'd have a lot of contacts. He does seem to know his stuff when ive seen him on tv too.
 

Possible New Managers

Graham Rix?
Also at game saturday were, Paul Goddard, Steve Clarke, Kevin Keen & Brian Sparrow. Maybe interviews were taking place after the game. :D
 

Possible New Managers

actually Steve Clarke ex Chelsea would be a good choice!
 

Possible New Managers

Go for a player manager, perhaps.

In fact, when we signed Talbot, I did wonder if that's what they had in mind...could be a possibility...
 

Possible New Managers

Bob Booker
Then again, what's John Docherty up to these days? He might fancy a sixth spell at the club

Mr Patel, who owns the newsagents shop behind the Brook Rd can do a better job than Downes. But I say go for Steve Perryman.

I could do a better job than Wally Downes, after getting Brentford to the Prem in Championship manager :D

Good call , imo ! if not Stevie P would be very welcome .

Come to think of it......anybody has to be better than that fat headed Rangers Tw@t !
 

Possible New Managers

Clubs in div 2 and 3 who have sacked managers this season have had 50+ applications for the post. There are LOTS of managers out there looking for work. Staying up is worth £500k apparently- so we do have a pot to draw on for a bonus for a manager (and you don't need to be a rocket-scientist to get 16 points from 13 games particularly with 3 home ties against teams at the bottom of the table to come).

Ray Graydon would be a good option (although I accept that he didn't do well at Bristol Rovers, he didn't have any trouble attracting decent players, including Ijah and Boxall to drop a division).

About the only options worse than WD would be Mick Wadsworth or Alan Ball!

They went for the deceont wages Rovers were offering then and the players' were recruited by John Still, not Graydon

I last saw John at a golf club in Swindon last year. Looked very old :(

As for Bob Booker.nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :nono:

In view of time scales, unless something is already sorted ( yea i bet!!!) there is little time to advertise interview and appoint which is why i was suggesting a move from within till the end of the season of Geoff Taylor and John Griffin.

The amount of experience that they have plus the ability to spot and nurture talent would in my opinion make a good short term stopgap.

Why should this take a lot of time? It isn't as if BFC has a big hierarchy of management, thousands of staff and complex HR and recruitment policies. The LMA carries lists of currently unemployed managers along with CVs. I could find the link to their site to assist the Board so they could spend the afternoon researching and then phone up a dozen likely candidates- perhaps get someone in for next week?! Won't bother as they don't read this site.

Like this you mean?
 

Possible New Managers

I forgot about Bruce Rioch - a good manager possibly worth considering
 

Possible New Managers

Whoever we got in wouldn't have to be on a long contract. We could offer one of the more high profile managers a short term deal until the end of the season to keep us up. That way we can look seriously for the next long term BFC manager in the summer and whoever we get now gets his profile raised by doing a job for us.
 

Possible New Managers

Reading their CV's ,it looks like most of them took their team down or resigned when they were in the relegation zone.

I would put more emphasis on getting rid of our current manager than worry ing about who you want.The board want Downes to stay.Put you energy in to changing that ! .Perrymans credentials stack up fine and he wants it .
 

Possible New Managers

Walter Smith if he fancies mission impossible.

Helped keep Everton in the prem during some tough times for the club(if my memory serves me correctly).
 

Possible New Managers

Graham Westley:nono: :nono:

He tried to move Farnborough to Kingston, he's another Noades
 

Possible New Managers

Shane Westley??

Simon Cowell??

'Ayes Bee (he manages The Ship well)??
 

Possible New Managers

Anyone, anyone at all is better than Wally. And despite the fact we have no money to attract the ideal candidates, if Wycombe and Leyton Orient can attract people then i am positive we can, even for peanuts!

There are so few chances for managers, that they will want to be seen doing a good job - and keeping us up with few resources but a decent squad would be good to add to a CV
 

Possible New Managers

George Graham! As things stand he'll never work in football again so he's bound to work for free until the end of the season!

6 1-0 wins and we stay up!:D
 

Possible New Managers

it can't be anyone within the club at the moment. both thompson and stannard should p*ss off along with downes asap
 

Possible New Managers

if were on about taxi drivers being manager we should get robert de niro to reprise..... that would scare them into winning!!!!!!!!!!
i think the best choice would be big ron,his got so much charisma that old bronse legend!!! he might not come for the money but at least he would be near the airport for his regular jaunts to the costa!!!
 

Possible New Managers

Personally I think that anyone who can win a club's first trophy in 20 years sould be given a shot!

A bit less eloquence though.
 

Possible New Managers

According to the LMA site Garry Thompson is available despite being with us!

I would keep Stannard regardless, he seems to actually do decent things with our 'keepers pre-match.

It has to be Graham Rix. He was good at Chelsea, and has loads of contacts. Either him or Perryman.
 

Possible New Managers

New Managers.

Come back Steve Perryman, let's get a manager in that has some pride.
 

Possible New Managers

It's a shame we can't just demote Wally and put Perryman in as manager. I think that's what the board tried to do earlier in the season but it didn't work out.
 

Possible New Managers

Peter Beardsley, Mike Channon, Norman Hunter, Paul Mariner...guys of that vintage. Have any of them gone into management?
