I’ve been wanting to throw this out there for a couple of weeks, but I would very much like to see Dave Edwards and Elliot Bennett appointed. Both know the club, understand the fan base and must have a wealth of contacts up the pyramid. It’s time for a dynamic punt like this for me. If it fails then so what we are on the way down at this point anyway, but these two might just be able to bring some hope to the fan base. we could do that with Micky moore and it wouldn't cost us a penny extra I’ve heard better jokes than that at the pantomime. Dave Edward’s and Elliot Bennett. They know the club have an excelkant background and would get the respect of the players. |

Dave Edwards name comes up on here every single time we're in the market for a new manager and it mainly seems to be on the basis he is a local boy who supports the club. Is that the basis for a League 1 manager/head coach job? He hasn't managed or coached at this level (or indeed any level) before and as far as I'm aware hasn't expressed an interest in doing so - please correct me if I'm wrong on that.
As far as being a local boy who supports the club goes - that might be a galvanising factor to a section of the fan base but why would it impress or excite the players? We're a squad mostly comprising journeyman pros and young loanees, are they really likely to be invigorated by the arrival of a player who played 100 odd games for the club almost 20 years ago? Why would his CV impress them more than say, Matty Taylor? Or Sam Ricketts?
I have a great deal of time and respect for Dave Edwards but this idea that he is the answer is ludicrous to me.

Let's all name a random ex town player with zero managerial experience and offer him the job of getting us out of a relegation dogfight 😝😝

I’d see him as an assistant manager but I honestly think he’s too savvy to go anywhere near it! I do think we lack a DNA right now so linking up with ex players is appealing but not necessarily the right thing for now.

Although he has just retired and is looking for a new hobby to fill his time he graciously declined the offer. |

We’ve all got our ideas and utopia for the next manager.
However let me refer back to the chairman’s statement on the way forward. I do not think he was very subtle in what he has said. It wasn’t a case of reading between the lines in what he said. He laid it out and said he wanted the fans to get behind the new owners from the get go. Now the sense and the way he said it was that the takeover was just around the corner. That said, the new owners would want their own manager in situ. So it’s a case of interim until that happens.
I would say Parish is ideal for the interim role because with his salop and wolves background I believe he could get the best out of what we’ve got until new owners are in place.

This Mark Kennedy Chap seems ok on paper.
Anyone know anything else ?

For me the priority is someone who knows their way around a vial of poppers. The importance of knowing the club has to be secondary to that.

What about a managerial consortium of ex players. Mark Taylor, Dean Spink and Micky Brown all arrived together for the last home game. Jamie Tolley could join them along with Dave Edwards and Joe Hart. All would I am sure work for free til the end of the season until new owners take over. What could possibly go wrong. For added front page interest I would bring in Vic Kasule, John McGinley and Tony Kelly. We would of course be relegated but in front of record crowds.

They know the club have an excelkant background and would get the respect of the players. heres a joke for you you recommend Dave Edwards aged 38 , zero managerial experience Elliot Bennett aged 35, zero managerial experience. ( 107 caps for town ) someone suggests Joe Jacobsen 38 next week (110 town caps ) your verdict Whether he has the badges or not he’s to young and inexperienced. HE'S BEHIND YOU OH NO HE ISN'T OH YES HE IS  |

I would have thought that considering our current league position, the priority is to avoid relegation. This is not the time for fanciful appointments of untried coaches, or former players. We need to appoint someone tried and tested, even if only until the end of the season.

Out of the individuals you mention, at least some have below average remuneration / savings with precious little left over at the end of each week. If they proceeded to reject an extremely generous offer to manage us for free then I’m not sure I’d ever forgive them. |
