I think it's going to be a manager that hasn't even been mentioned. Certainly hope so, don't particularly want any of the names on that poll.

An out of work manager with stature. Somebody please tell the board that Incey is a terrible manager. Don't let Utd being on his CV fool them.

There’s that buzzword again, toxic. Exactly..... footballers are judged before they kick a ball for us... usually either shit, infifferent or superb, not often a signing deemed shit on DATM works out. Sometimes they do. Ill quote the very first post on Jack Rudoni thread: ’Please this lad isn’t good enough he is poor infact very poor’ If you were being sarcastic, it’s hard to get a tone on social media 😀

MC is not liked by anyone at Town......Apparently. Interesting this and not disputing what you’re saying, but post game on Saturday I watched the lads come off and there was a bloke by the dugouts I thought was like team security or something, as he was in a suit, eventually realised it was Cartwright. But all the players and coaching staff made a point of going across and embracing him, some more so than others but it certainly seemed to be mutual

Wonder if the foreign one in a job is the guy at Sturm Graz who was mentioned earlier

UK - Out of work but some interest from people in work but not currently as managers/HC of clubs Abroad - We’re proactive in discussions with someone currently in a role Whether this is a HC or Manager role will depend of the candidate that signs of the dotted line. Personally speaking I can’t see a good few of them wanting to operate in a HC capacity and would want to steer the ship. The UK option (in work but not HC or manager). Is it by any chance Klopp's assistant? Some may say he wont come to Town. Maybe not, maybe thinks his stock is a lot higher. But, maybe just but he is looking to get into management in his own right. He starts looking at what jobs are out there. A championship club. He askes Jurgen what he thinks. Well its Huddersfield. I'll ask my mate David what he thought of Huddersfield. He must only have good things to say. Granted its a new ownership but the fans and the rest of it was a massive hit. So who knows. It’s a nice idea but with Liverpool on a title charge in Klopps final season I just can’t see his assistant being allowed to leave.

Just looking at table, amazing how tight and inconsistent this league is.
Sunderland in 8th have lost more games than us, Hull in 6th have only lost 1 less, if only some of Moore's draws were wins.
Hopefully the new manager can do that

In terms of fan sentiment, one thing in Lijnders's favour (beyond being a bit 'exotic' and his association with Klopp) is that his previous failure at NEC is much less conspicuous than one at Leeds / Swansea / Stoke etc

There's a few seemingly ITK posters who have said the calibre of applicants interviewed is above the level of some of the default managerial betting options, and that we should maybe be expecting a pleasant surprise. Step up Zidane, Mourinho, Joachim Lowe, Potter, Conte, Mourinho

Is Cooper out of reach?
His next job will be in the Championship IMO. Cant see any PL club going for him. Yes he could wait for a bigger championship club...a Sunderland..or a Sheff Utd when they go down.... but in terms of a project..ie the backing he might get,,then with our new owner it might be attractive to him and as a club we've proved we can succeed at this level.
Sometimes its about timing and how keen he is to get back in. Id be surprised if we havent sounded him out at least and he hadnt seriously considered us if we had.

We needed the finished article not a project. I think most posters at the time accepted he had potential and was probably more a player for this year or even next.

I think the same too about Cooper With an ambitious owner that we now seem to have got then why not..its a good gig

Wouldn’t the cost of Cooper be an issue? Surely having only recently got the boot at Forest he would still be receiving a nice pay packet and if he was to sign for a new club that stops?

If Cooper wants the job and believes he can be successful ie believes in the backing then that would be attractive. What we don't want is someone who talks a good game but is essentially coming to pick up a wage.

No I agree.I wasn’t suggesting he’s out of reach in my opinion more that that is the general consensus seemingly.

I accept that Danny Baker may not be representative but he does go watch the games in the stand so will know what is going on around him. Start of this season he started tweeting some real negative stuff about Rowett of which the following is the one I'm most concerned by: 17/9/2023 Rowett manages Millwall's (talented) squad according to his own narrow oftern failed vision. No flair, no individual initiative, little attacking, long hoofed balls upfield, belief the opposition are superior, rigid negative tactics game in, game out. We need rid of this pest. He isn't going to say his squad isn't talented is he? Warnock said our squad was good enough for the play offs. But we all know it is far from it... this comment was before the January signings too. His rigid negative tactics got them a +GD every season and top 10 finishes. I would argue that the journo is thinking they are better than what they actually were. With the squads they had, he did very well. This long ball theory really grinds at me. If you have players who aren't technically gifted at passing it around, what else can you do? We are at that level right now, we don't have the players to play passing football, long and direct showed in the 2nd half yesterday that played correctly with the correct players is effective. Nothing wrong with the long ball, in fact it’s far more interesting to watch as a fan rather than a long and eventually futile build up from the back which then piles avoidable pressure back onto us.

No doubt if he gets another job that will stop. So he'll be wanting something very well paid

I agree with involvement of others rather than the top brass only. All you have to do is sprinkle a few current players and staff, in the building at the same time as the interviews are taking place. Try to keep the candidates here all day. See if the candidates speak to them, ignore them, etc. You might learn more than you would in an interview. I’ve done it ( in another industry) It’s very enlightening. First impressions count more, if they are natural.

The problem is whoever comes in is firstly going to have to have an immediate impact to keep us above the drop zone, AND have a longer term strategy to develop the squad into PL candidates within 2-3 years.. We can't afford anyone who says this is a 'long term project'...

Back to the carousel then? So you're taking it as gospel from Nicko that because we've spoken to Duff, we've decided to appoint him? Did we not have a shortlist of 10-12, all of whom we will have spoken to? As far as I am concerned the Carousel I speak of consists of all the managers out of work who have been sacked from their previous jobs.I form my own opinions and am not swayed by pillocks like Nixon.
