Is there a chance than prospective owners have a say in these decisions? Might make a big difference if there's some sort of security for the new man post takeover. Had same thought….if there’s anything advanced they might have some thoughts on who they want….!

I don't think anyone is saying "give the job to Narcis immediately," that would be ridiculous. I'm hoping he'll be better than Buzz whilst we take time to get the appointment right. The more wins he gets, the stronger his case builds. This is what should have happened before the scandalous appointment of Buzz. I would like to see Wilder get it, excellent track record and after failing at Middlesbrough, he might just take us on this time. To be fair Metch a few are at least suggesting giving it to him until the end of the season which I believe is a No go for the reasons stated. All about opinions though.

If you were out of work, well experienced, and this opportunity comes up - even temporary contract - surely it’s a win win and you’d go for it? Can’t look bad on your CV to come to Town for 3-4 months and get a fat pay check and either drag us to safety (win win) or have a good crack and do your best (still get paid and blame the shit state when you arrived?!…)
Would think majority of managers on the list would be up for it….

Not a long term solution I would like. But Chris Hughton would be likely to get a tune out of Knockaert which I think might be our best way out of this mess.

Pelach is popular with the players, part of the last successful coaching setup we had, and likeable. I hope that whoever actually gets appointed keeps him.
But it's way too big of a risk, and he's also gone on record recently saying he doesn't want to be a manager and prefers coaching!

But it's way too big of a risk, and he's also gone on record recently saying he doesn't want to be a manager and prefers coaching! Likely only in the role for the one game. Likely next manager already interviewed. Likely next manager well experienced and happy having initial short term contract to end season. Therefore I hope Wilder, who ticks every box!!!!

Because he has a fancy name. If MF had been called Jose Dominguez he'd have been given far more leeway with the fans from the start. Why do you think Carlos Corberan got away with murder in his first season? Dave Smith or John Sykes would have been getting pelters. Because we played some outstanding football before injuries hit. Scored some of the best goals I’ve ever seen us score. Anyone with half a brain could tell he was onto something - and that proved correct last season.

MF told us all that he was a very good coach. It doesn’t mean they make good managers. Given we’ve given two coaches a go already this season, sacking them and remain in a real fight to avoid relegation, surely we wouldn’t try the same thing for a third time And hope for a different result?

Rumours are it’s a US consortium taking over. I expect Ted Lasso to get the job aka Marsch. Wouldn’t surprise me though if the previous manager of Beeston, Bielsa, was brought in for the rest of the season.

You think Marcelo Bielsa would be bothered about coming and managing Town? PMSL. We'll be lucky to attract Wilder.

I think its time to drop this ongoing attempt to find another Wagner. Obviously he did incredible things and the appointments since, except Cowley, have all been attempts to pluck a novice manager from his assistant coaching role and 'unearth a gem' in the same way we did with Wagner Seivert was a mistake,, Corboran could easily have been sacked in his first season without anyone complaining about it.. Schofield a mistake and now Fotheringham a mistake.
Corboran is proof that it can work out if youre prepared to give them enough time,, but in our situation we dont have that luxury just now. Whoever it is has to hit the ground running and get this squad performing to something like the levels its capable of.

Mark Fotheringham had a better record this season yet everyone was going berserk. Same reason that Pipa was regarded as some amazing footballer, when in reality he was rubbish. Because he had a fancy name and looked good, everyone pretended he was brilliant. Ollie Turton was a better right-back (and still is) yet he got pelters for months on here because he was called Ollie Turton.

It would be a ludicrous thing to do, but for some reason a lot of Town fans want him to get the job. Give it him, I say, but don't be complaining when he goes the same way as the last two managers.

Fotheringham will be back at Cowdenbeath. However, changing the subject. Who do you think had the better squad, Corberan is his first season or Fotheringham this season?

Do you not see the hypocrisy in criticising Carlos for when he was poor to begin with before coming good, but not doing the same for Turton who was also poor to begin with? Because he had a very shaky start and was rightly criticised. We may have won 3 in 24 but he still kept us up. Shows how well we did before the season changing injuries.

He's always been a solid Championship right-back and has proved that while he's been here. With regards to Corberan and injuries, are you going to stick up for Fotheringham, who's also had a big injury list? Or are you being hypocritical?

Had same thought….if there’s anything advanced they might have some thoughts on who they want….! It's with the talk of this big meeting yesterday and then the announcement. I find it hard to believe that Baldwin and Hoyle would choose to meet at short notice to sack MF. There must be others involved as its a decision that makes Brombys position difficult possibly untenable, requires some serious funding and would need a replacement.

Shows how well we did before the season changing injuries. 4 things saved Carlos in my eyes: - he had a good start so got some good will on the bank early - we scored some great goals that hinted on what we could do longterm - He wasn’t Cowley and acted in a way the club appreciated, rather than being an embarrassment on the touch line - the players liked, respected and saw massive potential in what he was doing Fair to say, MF had none of those things in his favour. Carlos may have been lucky to survive for a second season but he had earned a lot of that luck with what he’d done initially and how he’d gone about it.

I stuck up for Fotheringham until second half of Blackpool on Tuesday which was absolutely disgraceful.
