Yeah but how will he adapt to a totally different northern yorkshire culture from the big smoke ? He may struggle . Take him to the local for a Black Sheep, hell even a pint from the rat brewery go up to Castle Hill and look at the scenery. Don't see how folk could see that and miss the smoke. Most cities especially London are dire especially the suburbs ...having lived in London and its suburbs, I can tell you there are plenty more dire areas around town....  |

And they accuse me of being on drugs. What an apathetic, accept second best sort of statement is that? No one has taken Powell but he has been available and he left his last club bottom of the league, fact. Shall we just look for someone with a better rate than 26%? Is that good enough for you? Brilliant criteria you have. On drugs? You've replied to my initial post with a blank message and struggled to type coherently since and I'm on drugs? I'm apathetic? How is Lillis 'first best' then? You've mentioned league 2 Carlisle for what reason? You are quoting your own opinion as fact which is dangerous when you clearly know as little about football as you. The only thing you've got right is where he left them. With games in hand. Did they go down? Have they improved massively since he left? Where did he finish with them before that? Has he had tangible success in his career? What's your barometer for measuring managerial success if it isn't winning games? You've been asked who your choice would be and you've said Lillis. Everyone thinks you are talking out of your arse. Need I go on? Just logged back on. Are you a retard? Never suggested Lillis was 'first best' and if you don't understand the Carlisle reference then stick with the Ritalin. The rest in bollox and no criteria for Powell to be appointed. |

Chris Powell will be announced as Manager today, now that the fuss over the transfer deadline is out of the way - from a very good source. You are very welcome Mr Powell.  |

I'll be pleased if this is true. Wasn't my first choice, but what the hell do I know about the guy, I'll leave that to Dean and the board.
One other thing. If he is made manager, this will probably give Town quite a bit of positive press (only black manager in the league etc). The Beeb love this sort of thing and we may get quite a bit of coverage for a short while.

I thought they were doing second interview's during the international break. I'm wary of anyone claiming to have a source. The club has been so tight lipped about this appointment its unreal.

I'm with Rigodon on this one and if you don't think Powell is a good choice and we could have done better, you need a reality check. |

Would Lennon be the only Ginger in the Championship now Burnley are in the Prem. Don't know if thats true so don't anyone bother trying to correct me. The point is, it should be irrelevant. |

Well the original point about extra press coverage regardless of if it should be a factor or not is a good point! Thats the reality of the world we still live in and will provide the club with positive press@ |

It should be irrelevant, but the fact that there isn't a single black manager at any of the 92 football league clubs means it isn't. Despite the large number of black players. The comparison of Lennon being ginger is spurious. So it does speak volumes that they have to mention the colour of his skin, but not in the way you meant. And anyway, non of this is his doing and I'm sure he wishes it wasn't an issue. |

Delighted it's Powell. Was definitely my 1st choice. I'll be a bit underwhelmed to be honest if it's Powell. A manager rejected from Charlton hardly strikes me as a coup. About as exciting as Robbins, Grayson, Ritchie, Wadsworth etc... another bland appointment likely to last 18 months at best. As soon as he starts picking the wrong squad and starts a losing streak, the fans will turn against him. I think we really needed someone who would inspire the fans this time, not another dull appointment. |

The number playing is often trotted out in the media but the generation of powells hasn't got many even coaching, ironically a lot of them from that period are doing media work. Look at how many are playing now and wait till this lot around 25 year old, are around 40 year old, I'm happy to be nearly 40% of all managers are non "white" males. |

Set to be named in the morning, allegedly. Hope people who didn't want him, give him a f@@king chance. Good appointment in my opinion and probably as good as a club like us could have done. Happy to have him.  if he is appointed i would endorse it but till it happens and if it happens we are just guessing. anything can happen yet! |

Why are powell's odds so short? My understanding is that Powell and two other candidates were invited for 2nd interviews, also that although unlikely now, Mark Lillis is also in the frame to take over until the end of the season. Seems strange the bookies have given it to Powell, when the board still havent decided. He has been short odds for 2 weeks now.
OR HAVE THEY ALREADY DECIDED 2 WEEKS AGO.... suicide

Watford have took 2 days to appoint new manager after previous manager walked..... doesnt mean he's the right manager for the job tho. Just interesting the two different processes. 1. Know who you want and go get him....appears to be very decisive. 2. Very long interviewing process....doesn't. Just quite impressed that 2 days from their manager walking they already have another. |

He was at the ground saturday so could have been tapped up well before then. |
