Is Scott Parker really someone we should not consider, I am thinking he could be excellent I seem to remember his teams playing good football all be it with some very good players. "He want a possession based style that dominates the ball and moves it at tempo" Fulham pressed high up and dominated the ball as did Bournemouth. This type of football would be a complete change to us and that could be a concern at such a vital time, if we could guarantee survial this season and want to build something for the future I could see the style of Scott being one we would very much consider. He also comes accross really well in interviews. I just don’t see Parker as a Town manager. He’s very articulate (unlike DM) but he does share some traits. I can’t see the fans taking to him at all. I think unless it’s a completely unknown European manager the fans aren’t taking to anyone. Every manager seems to get put down by a fan for whatever reason possible. A couple of early wins and good performances would soon change that.

Scott Parker has a decent record of promotion out of this league. Town fans make me laugh how they can pick fault with literally every manager! That Fulham side was class, yes they had better players but that's like saying Pep is only a good manager because he has better players. The expectation is through the roof for this appointment. Reality check needed.

If we got Pep or Klopp in they'd be slagged off after the first few games by the experts on here!!

Ok now you really are on the wind up. really why, its been said on here by a respected poster that he has had an interview which must mean he is in the consideration, it is 100% worth a debate as it could easily be Scott Parker announced as our next manager, he ticks a lot of boxes that Kevin has asked for.

I just hope we don't compromise in our choice of manager, but wait until the right man is available. In the interim get NW to see out this season (again) and be patient for a change. As posted above, the money we're spaffing out on wrong choice managers we've since sacked would have paid for a top whack bloke. Learn some lessons, if you want a guy to take the club to the PL then you have to pay for that...no more compromises ! You not only have to pay for a proper manager, but you need to give him some tools to work with (players) We went into this season with 1 recognised striker. It simply bonkers. Absolutely ! Sadly the date of the take over and that 'budget' didn't help us, but it's pretty clear I think that KN is prepared to invest. I still have doubts over who we're buying, and why we bought when it was clear Moore was hanging on by a thread...We don't seem fully in tune at the moment, it seems like panic actions and not necessarily the best choices identified by our Management team at the club. A 'top' manager we can trust, who can deliver and who might have more say on who we recruit would be nice.

The problem for whoever takes over is going to be the quality of the players in the squad. It needs to be a good man-manager and someone who keeps it simple as NW did because most aren’t up to Championship standard. Not sure that’s as true anymore, we have enough to stay up now imo, agree though the biggest challenge is getting them motivated and playing as a team. The jury is out for me. Nicholls not as good this season, Lees and Pearson deteriorating fast. Jackson is he really good enough as first choice left back? (also Yuta has never done well there). Hogg struggling, Kasumu - some flashes of brilliance but what the hell is he? CDM, Full back?, certainly can't pass for toffee or control midfield. Rudoni I think we look at through rose tinted glasses but can't shoot, is weak and has little end product. I thought he was improving earlier in the season and the end product would come but still waiting. Koroma more miss than hit. Matos so far not looking capable of controlling that midfield which is fair enough at his age, wiles useless , jury is out on Bojan and Healey but they have certainly not hit the ground running (perhaps a little unfair). Helik and Sorba the only players I think we can confidently say are performing well right now. I think we needed a few more to make us an average championship team.

Every team that Parker has managed have had very good squads we don't have a very good squad Fulham and Bournemouth were expected for promotion I think any half decent manager could get the teams he had promoted

DATM now examining the year of the falling of the Berlin wall to ascertain whether a prospective manager would be a good fit for Huddersfield Town.

I've heard that Parker is an odd character who doesn't endear himself to players.

Scott Parker’s record thus far is one of serial underachievement. He had to resort to the playoffs to get a Fulham team back up that contained the likes of Mitrovic.
He then almost fluffed auto with a Bournemouth squad that was head and shoulders the best in the Champ, before tanking straight away in the Prem.
Then he completely embarrassed himself at Bruges. No thanks.

Any “The Ivy” restaurants near Huddersfield (I know there’s one in Harrogate)? Scott Parker loves The Ivy in Cobham - been there three times and on two occasions he and his family were there!

C'mon Kev, just get Warnock back and be done with it. A Third Coming is obviously extremely unrealistic, but still more realistic perhaps than some of those who actually made it on to the ballot. I just can’t see Neil coming back a 3rd time but it would be unreal. Could you imagine the atmosphere on Saturday if he was appointed? As someone else further up has said, we could appoint Klopp or Pep and a portion (admittedly a very small portion) would find fault. The one thing bringing NW back for the rest of this season would be instant almost 100% unity among the fan base. The ground would be absolutely bouncing on Saturday exactly like it was when he returned 12 months ago. But I just can’t see it. Given this season is now purely all about survival, the next best candidate imo would be Rowett. He knows the decision having managed several clubs pretty successfully at this level (forget Stoke, all managers have failed there over the last decade) over several seasons and I’m pretty sure would keep us up. If I’m being honest and assuming we do stay up, Rowett won’t come for just the rest of this season and he would then be taking us into next season when I would then rather us have a real go with an upcoming coach. After that, Heckinbotham looks like being the obvious choice although I would hope a call at least has gone in to Steve Cooper, he can only say no. A few interesting names from abroad been bandied about but I have no real knowledge of them. Can we afford to risk our immediate Championship future by appointing one of these, being relegated and then turning round and saying “well we left it too late before giving the position to an inexperienced Championship coach but we’ll go all out to gain promotion at the first attempt”. It’s a big risk whatever we do - although anything will be an improvement on Moore - and if by appointing experience we remove at least some of that risk…that’s the route I’m going down.

Would rather if we signed Scott Parker to our current midfield.
He stumbled to 2 promotions out of this league but with by far the biggest/best squads and then went over to Belgium and failed. I remember him absolutely slating the chairman in an interview after their 9-0 loss to Liverpool and was quite rightly sacked the day after.
Will obviously back whoever is next in charge but Parker wouldn't be my pick personally.

Personally I would have Warnock and Rocket back in a flash till the end of the season. They got a tune out of this squad before,the players like and respect them and out of everyone mentioned they would be the ones most likely to keep us up, which I assume is the top priority for everyone from the owner down. Assuming we stayed up under Warnock then its gives time to look around for a long term replacement from a position of strength not rushing in someone now who does not have much time to turn things round and win over the players. As is it at the moment its looking like we are running round desperately trying to shoehorn in someone who can turn it around, play exciting pressing football and be here long term, highly unlikely to happen IMO. Me, I dont give a shit how boring the football is the rest of the season as long as we get enough point to stay up.

Gary O'Neil then fairly comfortably kept them up.

You not only have to pay for a proper manager, but you need to give him some tools to work with (players) We went into this season with 1 recognised striker. It simply bonkers. Last summer’s transfer window was nothing short of embarrassing and they hid behind ffp for the lack of incomings. Think we’ve at least tried to address this in January although of course until we give them 6 weeks minimum, none of us know if any of these newbies are actually any good. We’re incredibly fortunate to have 3 really poor teams below us this season, two of whom have relatively new managers and have not seen much of a bounce. I think we are better than we’ve been showing out on the pitch; Rudoni does some good stuff but is lacking goals, I believe Wiles will come good but needs a pre-season so could be the 24/25 season before we see anything from him, I think Kasumu looks decent but we need to find his correct position, Spencer has returned from Scotland and looks a player, Headley was improving every game before his injury, etc, etc. We don’t look like some of the relegated Town teams I’ve watched through the years. In that 87/88 season for instance, there was only really Ian Banks in that team who looked anything like what was required. I genuinely believe bring the right man in and we will stay up but it could be tight, our run of fixtures after Saturday look tough least on paper and we desperately need a win of some sort v the massive.

While I take your point it was widely said that he should have done better with those two clubs.ntt20 podcast often bemoaned how he was getting the bare minimum out of them.That’s all I’m basing it off to be honest so just personal opinion of mine based on what iv listened to about him.would I give him a chance…yes,he’s probably one of the only options mentioned though that if I had to choose I wouldn’t go with.

Regarding Neil Warnock coming back (I really believe it is very unlikley) I would only say some of the issues why he left are now not an issue due to timing.
- Transfers, He would not be involved in any and would be here until the end of the season with a new man in the summer - Wanting to leave, Neil didnt want a full season and wanted / needed a break some would say it is yet agian perfect timing - Its not long until Valantines day. - We would have time to access a correct manager for next season could even get him in early if survival is achecived. - I think survival would be not an issue. - Danny ward would be fit again - Feel good factor would be instant and lift everyone - Kevin would be able to say he listened and wants the best for the club. - the media coverage would be huge as its just so odd and unusual.
I dont think for one minute it will happen, but it does make a lot of sense especially if we are not really sure about any of the current candidates.
As I write this and read it back, I am thinking sod it he is the best man for the job currently lets make it happen again, "are you with me?"

Think that’s a glass half empty assesment, and we will hopefully see a lift in performance now. The group have done it in some games so no reason why they can’t raise their levels with the right management. Don’t agree on Kasumu and Rudoni, and I’d add Spencer, Burgzorg & Headley (when fit) to your players who have performed well list.

If Duff and Parker have been interviewed there’s still 10 others according to Kev. Surely there’d be someone else who stands out ahead of them.
