The more I think about it Powell just seems like the most sensible and obvious choice. Whether sensible is what people will want I don't know but I really do think he'd do well here and when I look through the other "candidates" nobody jumps out. The Kluivert thing was ridiculous, Warnock, Pressley, McLeish, Mackay (even before todays events), Mowbray, Coyle, Hart are largely big "no's" for varying reasons. Unless someone comes from for nowhere that leaves Lennon who is now favourite for Palace who I think would also do a good job and get us together as a team and for Davies who although I think could do well for us I just don't really like. forget about Powell . It's not him . I would hope lilis has a rethink and tells dean he's changed his mind and now wants the job after all . |

As has been said numerous times it's far better he stays at the club rather than taking the big job and getting sacked in 18 months to 2 years and losing him completely. Doing what he normally does he can be just as important (if not more so) to us in the long run than hte new manager. |

Get your money on Lillis, Chris did well in interview but it appears that the club have other ideas.
Having been at the match today it's great to see the team playing with passion and commitment to the cause.
Coady is an excellent addition and when he went to play centre half he also looked assured - they all played well.

Alexander is a great shout IMO......although he hasn't "been there and done it" at this level which was what dean wanted I seem to recall. Patience though guys and gals - when you look at where we are now and where we were when dean came in.....allayed with the development of Rhodes, pilks, Clayton, Norwood etc and the money we have recouped to move onwards and upwards then it's hardly reason to panic just now. Yes we'd all love to do a burnley but this is town......we have all been brought up to do it the hard way! Until or unless the ridiculous parachute cash changes then the championship will get increasingly lopsided. |

With regard to Graham Alexander: I think I could have got Fleetwood promoted with the resources he had (relative to the league). He should have won that league by 15 points with the number of players and wages he used. |

I'm sure Mr Hoyle will get accused by the vocal minority of not sticking to his words if he does get a manager that hasn't 'done it' but if that is the case then I'm sure he has good reason for changing his mind and selecting the man he believes best placed to take us forward.
Too many people seem to be ready to 'have a pop' if their choice of manager isn't selected which if i'm not mistaken is exactly what Mr Hoyle suggested may happen.

The longer this manager saga carries on, the more I'm inclined to think I'd be quite OK with Chris Powell being appointed; besides, he's got the same first name and same surname initial as me!

He never said been there and done it at this level. The fact he said, "been there and done it" could mean anything anyway. It could just mean, has managed before. People will twist it and say he's gone back on his word, whoever he appoints. Alex Ferguson hasn't, been there and done it at championship level, so it's however you interpret it. |

The question is, will this been there done it be any better than Lillis ? To be honest, I would say every manager we've been linked with has a better record as manager than Lillis. We only have 8 points in 6 games under him and he was sacked by Halifax. He's done a great job with the academy and the performances have improved with the first team, but this generally happens any time a caretaker comes in. If you weren't a Town fan and your club employed Lillis it would be about as inspiring as getting Dave Hockoday. Not a dig at Lillis. |
