Not itk, will never be itk, however, I've heard two we're looking at have the same surname... Hopefully Cantright doesn't get confused Knowing our luck we'd get Tommy Cooper, not Steve Cooper. I wonder what the worst possible combination would be. Any of the Coles? |

What is this obsession with Town fans and ex-players and managers? Not that I’m fixated on previous managers, but this club is now weird, even become toxic, and a track record of success here counts a great deal in my book, today. We’ve had too much experimentation and arseing around, perhaps need to return with the tried and tested, we need to stop the rot and falling any further. I’d prefer Wagner or Warnock, but the Chuckle Brothers would do. And just to add to my earlier reply above, I note that two former Town managers are in the Playoff semis today. Our club has become so tinpot that we couldn't hold on to them or support them properly.
Not enough investment, or wrong investment, wrong DoF, etc, etc. Had Hoyle invested after missing out on the second promotion I doubt Corberan would have dumped him. We could have been in the top 6 again or promoted by now.
Our former managers know what's wrong with us and one could, given the right remit and resources rebuild this once proud club, stop it from hutling into Division Four or beyond.

We're probably going cheapskate with the latter, but his team have only 1 game in the past 9. We've had too much of that crap here already, we don't need to gamble again.

Crawley manager must be worth a shout Why on Earth would he join our PoS and leave a club rapidly on the up, serving and under-served part of the country ?
There's no PL club between Palace and Brighton, whereas there's lots of money and opportunity in that part of the world, right next door to Gatwick airport, with a lot of well-paid airline and airport workers live in the Crawley area, plus those earning big bucks who commute to London. Crawley will get more investment and will be in the Championship in a season or two.
In comparison, we've got a clueless Yank in charge who's employed two clueless, arguably incompetent, right Herberts. He'd be daft to come here.

They have an even more clueless Yank who is trying to make Crawley a 'crypto club' and once sat in as a caretaker manager for them after sacking a manager after a 30-day stint. So perhaps not as daft a move as you thought. |

Yes lack of investment..£250 quid for a season ticket says it all 🤣 |

They have a great track record. A couple of mediocre spells, but several promotions. They just avoided relegation from league 2 🤣😂 Showing your ignorance. Cowleys only took on Colchester in January this year and they have a poor squad. In their 20 games in charge they only lost 6, drew 10 and won 4 which is still a better performance than some of our "wonderful" recent managers. They'll get Colchester sorted in the owner invests in more players. |

I follow a bit of the League of Ireland (Galway United my team) and Duff is always in the news. Not always for the best reasons. V outspoken, sometimes saying daft stuff. Of course, the step I from LoI is huge as well. |

They did a job, but not a great one and they have pretty much failed everywhere they've been since. Why the obsession with former managers?

Do we really think the top 6 on the betting odds will even be in the reckoning ? or do we think it will be another unknown manager that's never been mentioned foreign manager like they did with André Breitenreiter out of the blue appointment ?

I will hazard a guess that at most of us on here are Town centric we don't know other players and managers as well as we do ones that we have lived with for some time. I think that we need to consider other choices as ex-Town seems to represent failure 9 times out of 10. |

Id take paul cook personally Think he’s a great manager Very hit and miss. Had 2 promotions from Lg2 and one from League 1. But then never seems to kick on. Got a mention from Chicken & Hartrick on their most recent podcast that I thought was interesting. Credited with laying the groundwork at Ipswich by taking a wrecking ball to the shitshow they had beforehand. Would be a serious contender for the role & I wouldn't be upset by him at all. |

They failed at Portsmouth, and at Colchester they were 22nd when he arrived, and 22nd when he finished, however almost ended up getting relegated near the end. |

We should be more ambitious that going for the likes of them. Oh, you mean the likes of a highly rated German manager who just left us after relegating us? The likes of the highly rated Moore who nevertheless had a 10% win rate with us? The likes of the highly rated, by famous German managers, Scottish coach working in Germany who didn't last long with us?
How did that ambition work out with "the likes of" these highly rated coaches / managers ?
