Where did you get your information from stating that the above have been interviewed or did this come from the same source who said Kluivert was interested in the job.

Would certainly be a first for town and would further drag us into the 21st century. Powell always comes across as thoughtful and with firm convictions. Not a ranter but some players don't respond to that, man management all about getting the best from each one. Some need shouting at, some don't. I'm sure he's more than capable of dishing it out behind closed doors when it's required. What you see on the touchline or in post match interviews is the tip of the iceberg, same with most of them. I'm sure Wenger has a good half time strop when it's needed. My only concern might be moving from London to a provincial northern town might be more of a culture shock than he thinks. We don't want to see the same as happened to Howes at Burnley, no good for either party.

If he is getting the job and if he is going to take the job, then he will have thought it through. I assume he will have a family and that they may move with him, if he wants to stay in the city life then I see no problem with him living in Leeds or even Manchester considering a fair few of our players live there.

Very true, Manchester might suit him fine. As you say, he's smart enough to look at the social/family aspect as well as the work itself. At least he was a decent defender as a pro and might get that lot of ours sorted out!

The more I think about it, the more I would like him to come in and be our manager, hopefully as a long term project.
I would even be happy to give him the chance to make mistakes unlike if we got someone like Makay, there would be instant expectation on someone who is very experienced.
I hope it's Powell now.

Powell is decent man but inherently being a black coach is still a curse and he is also too quiet and for me is totally the wrong man. What a dickhead. suicide

Wonder if Powell has applied for the Palace job?

If we get him his first game might be at home to Charlton...that could be interesting.

I'm warming to the idea of Powell, an ex-international who seems humble and a student of the game. Would prefer someone who can instil a bit of fear into the players, like maybe Lennon, but that can cause friction in the squad. Would certainly rather give it him than any of Mowbray, Pressley, Coyle, Davies. Only had one manager's job so wouldn't be jaded and did fantastically well in the promotion year. Charlton were always solid defensively as well and the sort of team that wouldn't give up leads easily - certainly against Town anyway!
I wouldn't be too worried about moving out of London - if he wants the city life he can move to Leeds or Manchester but considering he's probably got a family he might want to move to a nice village in the hills and see some green fields. Howe was moving from a nice town on the coast to a shithole in Lancashire, not really a comparison!

Unless its Mark Beevers chewing on Chris Wood. That'd be Milwall v Leicester last season I guess...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Tour de Yorkshire hasn't actually attracted extra interest in the job. With that, the food and drink festival and Festival of Lights, Huddersfield must be Europe's number one tourist destination by now.

I'd love him to get the job! He was my suggestion when we were thinking about Robins going. His first Canalside Q&A would be interesting: "Tell us what you REALLY thought about Dale Stephens' assault on Adam Hammill, Chris ..."

Alex Mcleish is the new favourite so maybe not Powell after all!

Somebody quoted his record on here the other day it was better than I thought but the club really need to get the supporters on board with the next manager and I don't think with Mcleash they will

I just hope whoever gets the job, whether you agree with the appointment or not, you give them your backing and support for a while at least.

A bit, but with a league1 championship and manager of the season award under his belt.

The more the days go by, the more I think about it, Powell seems a perfect fit for us. He's badged up to the hilt, has achieved a terrific outright promotion with a very good side, he's a good man-manager, was adored by the Charlton faithful, he's not a Billy Big Bollocks and has recently declared that he would actually enjoy a challenge that wasn't on his own doorstep. He's a realistic target and someone Dean could work with on a long-term basis. I'd be very happy if he gets the nod.

I wouldn't disagree with any of that but...if he was so keen on being manager of HTAFC why did he have to ask to apply? I actually have come round to view that we'll get what we'll get and we'll all hope it works, that said someone who actually wants the job and sets with the belief they can deliver a solid 1st team would be a good start. I'd be very wary of people who just want a job, any job...

I'm definitely in. Charlton were mid table in lge one when he took over and gained 101 points the season after, then finished 9th with a very modest budget for the championship. Ok, he left them bottom, but with about 5 games in hand and on a good FA cup run. If he'd kept his job I bet they wouldn't have gone down, just like they didn't with the fella who is in charge now. I'm in. Sadly I don't think it will be him.

Charlton seemed to be a club in a little turmoil last season, I wouldn't judge Powell too harshly on that.
