Bit of a left field guess. Vlatko Andonovski.
Recently stepped down as Women's national team.
Seems to have done well in mens and womens leagues over there.

My suspicion is it’ll be Leam Richardson. He was available in the close season. If it’s him, then Jake Edwards wasn’t telling the truth in the press conference.

How about Graham Potter? Fits with the Youth right through to First team as well and is also out of a job!
Just throwing it out there and has worked abroad too.

What about Will Still? Doing well in France and has managed kids.

My suspicion is it’ll be Leam Richardson. Richardson, Chris Wilder etc etc we’re all spoken to before Warnock, if they didn’t want us then, I can’t imagine us wanting them now. If Town had previously spoken to Leam Richardson that doesn’t necessarily mean that he didn’t impress them. He can’t be ruled out yet in my opinion. I’m assuming the club see this next managerial appointment as at least a three-year project, in line with the ambition to make the PL in that time. LR is a northern lad. If it was someone like Scott Parker, for example, good experience in the Championship, high(ish) profile. However, supposing Parker has some success at Town and gets us into the playoffs this season, given his past, his name and the fact that he’s a southerner, would you be confident he’ll see the “Town project” through? I’d say with someone like Leam Richardson you would have that confidence. His record at Wigan when they were struggling badly suggests Richardson could arguably be compared with highly rated young managers such as McKenna at Ipswich and Schoemaker at Plymouth. It won’t be Rooney because he hasn’t left DC and it’d be all over the news already if it was him. Jokanovic seems to be discounted. Wilder possibly a busted flush? Moore would be mundane IMO and Nathan Jones would be a disaster in the making (again, IMO).

Moore would be mundane IMO and Nathan Jones would be a disaster in the making (again, IMO). The above about Richardson etc, they were interviewed/ spoken to under the old regime. The new regime have spelled the ambition rather clearly. Therefore the next manager/head coach has to match that ambition. This will be the first indicator of how the new board think. Under Hoyle we knew how he thought, when it came to new bosses, often "young hungry but unproven coaches needing their break" , Edwards has talked about a the new boss being or having a proven track record. well for me that rules out quite a few names from the spoken about lists of managers.

What is with the obsession of getting someone in from the womens game. He managed one mens team in the american indoor league back in 2016. Top choice.

I predict it’ll be Dean Smith, former head of youth at Walsall and spells at championship/prem level.
Didn’t do well at his last two clubs but did get villa up and kept them up. Play style was a bit of a snore fest.

Play style was a bit of a snore fest. Ticks a lot of boxes, Villa fans love him. Was at Brentford at the start of their success, I think we can forgive him Norwich, I dont know the ins and outs but seem to remember it was a hopeless task to keep them up and probably suffered the inevitable hangover once back in the champ. Also went there straight after Villa which probably wasn't a great idea. The best, realistic name I've heard so far. Shame Warnock isn't on the list though!

Play style was a bit of a snore fest. I mean let’s be honest, he’d be a very solid appointment. Got Villa up, stayed up and rushed into a Norwich job that was near impossible in the Prem.

I also know that in an interview on Radio Leeds he said he was German rather than American. Also, if Wiki, is right I don't know how he even qualified for the US Wagner was born in Frankfurt, West Germany.[2] His biological father is from Thailand,[3] his mother is German.[4] Before his birth, Wagner's mother married an American.[ If that's right, surely that means he qualified through his stepfather 🤨

Presume she got made an American citizen? It was a poor example, but I don't see the hatred towards Americans and football over here.

I can honestly say not one single name thrown up has inspired me outside of Graham Potter who I can’t believe for one minute would come. Although I never thought we’d be necessarily fighting another relegation battle this season, neither did I expect us to be troubling the play-offs so we had the perfect man in charge for the coming season - just someone who could keep us out of trouble and steady the ship til next summer. I’m still stunned at the forthcoming departure and can see whoever is coming in being pretty underwhelming.

Im not saying a women couldn't do a job,, but thats not why they'd be appointing her. It would be a commercial decision about maximising exposure first and foremost.
