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. are you on Ket? The Kettering town manager is James Le Masurier. That name might sound foreign enough to excite some?

He’s a terrible manager. Look at the players he had at Derby too, and how they’re still paying the price now for over spending. Wouldn’t touch Lampard, Gerrard or Parker with a barge pole. All need massive budgets and are not good managers. Lampard = no interest from him or us. Gerrard = no interest from him, I am sure we would be interested if he expressed an interest however. Parker = interest from both manager and the club and interviews have taken place with Scott. I am coming around to the idea of something more like the above rather than some of the boring uninspiring names like Duff, Rowett, Heckingbottom, Pearson, etc etc all just strike me as quite boring and very much simalar to Moore in terms of excitement. I really think we need to have someone with some passion and character to get the players and fans full backing, a statement of intent appointment. If we did appoint a Parker type he would not come without the promise of backing in the summer, I know he has really impressed with his attitude and professionalism, my only real doubt would be the timing and an appointment like Parker could be a great move once we are safe and planning for next season, a large change of style now may be too much for some of our current squad in our current situation. Why would the club have interest in Slippy Me or Parker ? One's been poor as a manager except for one season when he got lucky that Celtic shot themselves in the foot and the other has only done ok when he's had the best squad in the division, as soon as that advantage is gone he's knackered.

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 Personally I dont think its a massive test, Wednesday was as it was a must win game. Southampton we are expected to lose (Like Burnley last year when Warnock took over). If both squads play to their ability Southampton will win no matter what plan Worthy sets up. Our best chance IMO is them being over confident and us nicking a goal first to rattle them. If Moore was still manager we would lose even if we got the first goal, with Worthy in charge we will be going for more not sitting back trying to soak up pressure, I think we have more chance of nicking it if that pans out. The squad has shown they are shite at just going into their shell, they look a much better team going for it with quick attacks. I personally would rather get stuffed 5-0 going for it than just trying to soak up pressure and losing anyway. I first really got into following town every match in the Buxton era and he always set up to win , not look for a draw no matter who the opposition were, sure get a draw if you cannot win, but winning was the aim from the outset.

I hope you're as wide of the mark on this one as you usually are. If Scott Parker gets the job I think I'll need to find something else to do on a saturday afternoon. Why so much against him ? his championship teams have been good to watch, he speaks well, he is well respected in the game as a players and manager (ex england captain), it also shows some intent from the owner as Scott would only come to a club that has the possibilty to challenge for promotion in the next few seasons which means we will invest in the squad. If Parker's that great, how come he's still out of work 🤔

Still keep seeing Duffs name being one of a front runner. Those inside the club on here and read the room. The majority of fans do not want him. You need to fix you're relationship with the fans!

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. Does he have a UEFA A license? (No way on earth he should be even considered for the job by the way, maybe in 5 years or so if he's built some good experience and knowledge up and shows he can apply it at the top level. We just broke Danny Schofield's career development, why would we want to the same to JW?!)

No need to do anything formal, but riding the until you fall off wouldnt be too bad, if we beat southampton, id definately stick with him for sunderland and maybe another few until the bounce has gone. Is Gerry Murphy still available.......... 17games...8 wins...(including at L666s) 6 draws...3 defeats... ok so he's 80, but if you're good enough..etc... I can ask him, when I pass his house as I walk the dog tonight 🤔😁

There isn’t a manager the majority want.
Personally i’m not excited by Duff and would chose Heckingbottom. However i know someone at Barnsley who rates Duff above The Heck.

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. There is an argument to be made that in a relegation battle the chaos of having more men up the pitch and attacking with pace could get the wins required, even if it goes wrong as well. Sitting back and grinding out draws was Moore’s approach and it didn’t help. High risk, high reward though.

I just hope we get the best manager available, not a job for mates, connections etc. If Cartwright picks one from his stables then he should be sacked before anyone is hired based on he’s picking mates and not what’s best for the club.

It would be hugely underwhelming and disappointing if it was Duff.

Muscat one seems interesting. Obviously played for many seasons in the division so knows what it’s about,although it’s probably a touch different now to then. Coaching wise he’s spent a lot of time as assistant to ange so has that style/philosophy rubbed off on him at all. Very good record when took over Melbourne and over 200 games in charge of them. Then has moved about a bit.A short and unsuccessful stint in Belgium and then took over from ange again to manage in Japan where he did well. Currently in china and hasn’t been there too long. Would it be a good choice?

I look at various names being mentioned & every single one of them attracts a negative reaction from fans. I have to wonder what exactly people are expecting? Is there anybody that fans would give a positive response to? If so, how realistic are those options?

I actually think Duff would be ok, high pressing sides with big emphasis on fitness is something that will resonate with our fanbase, he's close mates with Dyche from Burnley and learnt a lot of his trade from him. I don't think its as bad as people fear and he's considerably better than Heckingbottom for me.
The issue lies with the fact he's just fallen into town's lap again. English out of a job and just really reiterates how lazy and limited Cartwright is.
I'm struggling to see any positive posts from those in the know or those who aren't about Cartwright and i think he could be a much bigger issue for the club in the next 18 months.

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.... Perhaps, but I have bad memories of the Danny Schofield tenure. I've no desire to go through that again.

Mark Briggs by any chance? 🤔🤔🤔 I’d rather Johnny Briggs At least we'd get a win. Even if only from the last 3 letters of his Corrie character's name.
