Yet Southampton will be Johns last game? Id not be appointing anyone until we lose our next game, so probably after southampton. This from someone who told us DM defo in dugout for SW game......A lot of egg on his face. Dunno about the other stuff but unless something changes was told worthy does do the Southampton game.

No manager wants to start with Southampton away
Best just let Worthy have a shot at it.

Around 6 interviews remaining I believe. Duff is in the running but nothing decided yet. According to his camp another championship team holds strong interest in appointing him.

New manager soon as possible.
Our fans obsession with caretakers keeping jobs is borderline bizarre, Hudson, Chico, Murphy, Lillis I could go on.
Worthy probably looks set to do Southampton but after that we need to have the manager in and getting up and running.

I’ve just spoken to Kev* and can give the following update:
Some interviews have taken place and are continuing as we are casting a wide net.
A couple of candidates have really impressed so far, others less so and have been disregarded.
After all initial interviews have been held, a round of second interviews, with KN joining on Teams, will be conducted.
The impact of JW and Saturday’s result has reduced the rush to get the new man in place. All are delighted with the impact made and feel there is no risk if Saturday’s game (at least) is managed by JW.
This is a huge decision and the club are desperate ti get it right.
Many of the names touted on here are in the mix, along with some real curveball candidates.
*Have I balls. I’ve literally just made all this up to show how easy it is to post bollocks and pretend you’re the flaming zeitgeist.

Watching recent highlights of Modena this Bianco excites me if there's anything in it. Attack with pace and plenty of numbers, defence looks a little erratic but that could be a personnel issue not sure how good those players are.

Id not be appointing anyone until we lose our next game, so probably after southampton. still the plan to appoint end of this week, and take over after Sat game. If you reckon you know (guess) an outcome for every situation going , the law of averages say you're bound to get one right eventually . A bit like gambling really.. That said , you must be due one soon , as your past ITK's have been 100% bullshit...

Tell you what would be poor, if they do end up appointing Duff this week having wasted two weeks interviewing a load of people just to take the guy they could have brought in last Tuesday as soon as they had parted with Moore. The longer this process goes on the more hopeful I am they have identified and managed to convince somebody in a job or from abroad to take up the challenge, otherwise as i say above they've just completely wasted two weeks of Duff getting his ideas across to the players. (Which would feel very town/Cartwright). That wouldn't be poor, that would be called investing the proper amount of time to ensure that we make the best appointment that we can do. It's not just about having a couple of conversations with Duff and thinking yeah I like him. We need to speak to other people even if it just confirms we prefer Duff and that he's the best that we can get. Far better a considered rational decision than a panic gut instinct appointment.

Whilst I agree with the above its best not to rush into any decisions, it was fairly obvious Darren’s method wasn’t working and a sacking was inevitable. Duff was out of work, imagine all clubs start conversations with future options long before they actually get rid of the current person in charge. That’s the nature of football. It’s a tricky balance to find, and Nagle had admitted to speaking with other managers about tactics and what we could do differently before he sacked Darren too.

Think most town fans are looking more for a miracle worker than a manager for the second season in a row
Worthington set the team up well on Sunday and his knowledge of the squad could be a massuve advantage than some other starting from scratch
Will be very interesting to see how the team do V a very good Southampton team as a massive test for Worthington

If we manage to, by some minor miracle, beat Southampton on Saturday then we need to be giving the job to Worthington until the end of the season. He's passionate and he believes in the players. As I said before, this feels similar to when we brought in Jacko for the great escape. He isn't the long term answer at all but once/if we guarantee survival then we become a much more attractive prospect for a decent manager. No we don't. This reminds me more of the constant "Chicho for me" shouts last season because he'd fluked a win earlier in the season. I like Worthington, and it was a nice throwback on Saturday seeing him in the dugout. But let's not fall into the usual trap of thinking the caretaker manager is the second coming of Guardiola, like we normally do. I agree, but a point that I don't think has been made about Darren Moore is that he became a manager in just this manner, having been content to be a coach for 7/8 years after finishing playing. I remember being more than a little concerned when he started winning games at West Brom in the year that we stayed up. If he hadn't have had that early success....

Attack with pace and plenty of numbers, defence looks a little erratic but that could be a personnel issue not sure how good those players are. They're hardly setting Serie B alight. Midtable and the second lowest scorers in the top half with the worst goal difference in the top 13. Not sure what's so exciting?

Just watched the highlights of how they played against Parma and Sampdoria as mentioned above, I’ve no idea what happened before then and admittedly the highlights were only 4 minutes long each, still helps you recognise a rough style of play. They might not be setting serie B alight, if they were he sure wouldn’t be joining us but I also mention is that because Modenas personnel isn’t very good I’m not sure.

Current list is something like below it doesnt seem much love for many of these, I am aware that at least 3 of the below have had interviews so far, but who would the majority want from that list as its very different to the pole on this thread, with only Rowett on the pole. - Duff - Parker - Rowett - Mason - Muscat - Eustace - Bianco (put him on as talked about but I dont think there is anything in this at all)
I was told it is down to 4 possible options now with at least 2 of the above part of that 4 maybe all 4, I am still thinking it however might be a completly new name not mentioned here yet.

Cheers for letting us know Duff, Parker and Eustace have had interviews we would never have guessed, honestly just give it up its embarrassing now nobody believes anything you say.

Cheers for letting us know Duff, Parker and Eustace have had interviews we would never have guessed, honestly just give it up its embarrassing now nobody believes anything you say. Good insight however Rowett was one of the 3 I was aware of........ There is nothing to believe or not believe in the post, just a question to see if anyone would be happy with any of the 7 names above for me in order below top being who i would want first choice for example like a poll but with names that are actually more realistic / talked about on here. - Muscat (think this would be a really interesting appointment, just started a job in China end of last year but he might not be liking it) - Mason (it might be time for Ryan to try himself) - Rowett (good solid championship manager and always seems to get his teams towards the playoffs, not exciting but solid) - Parker (just think he offers more than the below personally) - Duff (not proven in the championship, risky) - Eustace (did well with a Birmingham team he knew well, not sure he has done enough to be considered at this time) - Bianco (i have no idea and dont think he is even someone to consider).

So it could be absolutely anybody then, exactly the same as it was a week ago. Thanks for the update though.
