Paolo Di Canio? Although Roland would need to avoid meddling.

Nigel Adkins not getting much of a mention. Lots of experience and a nice chap. I suppose we have to bear in mind where candidates are based as to whether they may be interested in the job. Adkins is up North I think and Jackett down south. I don't think being away from home so much really worked for MM. He is a big family man and living in a caravan didn't really agree with him. It would be good to get someone Midlands based or willing to move Do you believe Shrewsbury have the means to attract either of them? For Mellon to join Tranmere he would have at least been offered a similar salary as he had at Shrewsbury. Adkins has been with Clubs challenging for promotion to the Premier League nobody gets a chance at Sheffield United. Jackett only left Wolves due to change of ownership, both have progressed to Clubs with attendances & fan bases multiple times as big. They will both be on the lists of teams like Villa & Derby. We will get what we always get an unknown, un-confrontational, uninspiring and above all cheap. Look out for Conference level, League of Wales (RW's been spending time watching it) or an unknown retired player. Well Simpson, Turner & Mellon have been the last three and they were hardly unknown to someone with any knowledge of football outside the Premier League. Why would you want a confrontational manager? What would be the point of that? Uninspiring? How would you know? They're not managing you. You can only take your inspiration from what you see in the media (very little at this level) and from how the team performs (which you won't know yet). You say we can't afford the names being mentioned, then moan that we'll get someone cheap. What's it to be then? Spend more than we can afford?  |

Paul Hurst would be a good appointment for me, now Cotterill is out of the running.

Mellon would have waited for the Bullet and the remainder of his contract otherwise He would be out of pocket if an offer less than his Shrewsbury salary had been made. An offer made by a Conference Club. Why didn't we afford these bigger names prior to Mellons appointment? If these are the wages we pay managers then we are not going to be paying League One averages. We will be looking for ''cheaper'' options. Simpson had the carrot of a brand new Stadium, got a player of Grant Holts value, will the Chairman promise investment at this level again to entice a new manager? Turner came back and is well known to Shrewsbury Fans . Mellon was known to very few. Perhaps the nerdy, Football Manager playing types of fan knew who he was. And what player will be inspired by a habitual failure we either get one of these or someone unknown. We will have to pay for a successful Lower league Manager as invariably they'll be in work. Any retired player which will excite players will be wealthy enough to hold out for a chance of a bigger club, there are a few in L2 that are more attractive than Shrewsbury. |

Any retired player which will excite players will be wealthy enough to hold out for a chance of a bigger club, there are a few in L2 that are more attractive than Shrewsbury. Maybe you've forgotten that, prior to Mellon's appointment, we'd just been relegated and had only a handful of players on our books. An expensive manager wasn't a priority. And there was nothing nerdy about knowing who Mellon was - many will have remembered him as a player and he had a managerial track record too. Is it a priority of yours that you must have heard of the new manager? If you hadn't heard of Mellon, you may be in for another disappointment. How do you know what we pay our managers? Or what Tranmere pay theirs? What's the average League 1 manager's salary? What was Mellon's? You're guessing. Simpson joined a club struggling in League 2. Our new manager will join a club struggling in League 1. I think that's a better offer. All managers fail if they're in the game long enough - and it doesn't take long. Let's have a list from you of managers who haven't failed ..... There's a long list of "exciting retired players" who've never succeeded as managers - and a pretty long list of low achieving players who've made outstanding managers. |

We must have been paying him a similar rate to Tranmere otherwise he wouldn't have gone, he would have bided his time and waited for the sack or seen out his Contract, either way he would have got the rest of his contract off Shrewsbury.
Tranmere are a Conference Club they don't earn anywhere close to what a league one team does, so how would they match a league one clubs salary? Either we pay below the L1 market rate for Managers or they pay the rate we do which is not.
Or we are supplementing his wages for the duration of what would have been his Shrewsbury Contract.
All managers fail it's the ones who fail most frequently at League One level and below that get linked to jobs at Shrewsbury's level.Those in this thread are just dreams
One's that haven't been in the game long enough to fail will invariably be young and if they ready to join Shrewsbury if the Chairman is willing to pay up.
The list that started this thread is all but a pipe dream as they will want a Wage bordering on Championship rates. The rest are of Micky Adam's level Journeymen.a failure and lasts about six months. signing two year contracts, get sack, sign another two year deal two months later.

RW must really enjoy reading all the rumours about who he is meeting and who is seen in the town. I can see why he is reluctant to sell. Its incredible how the rumours start but very entertaining if you don't take them too seriously.

So is the Mona Lisa.......actually, now I think about it, she'd probably do a better job. Nice smile.
She'd probably bring in Leonardo de Vinci as her assistant. Forrin managers seem quite in fashion nowadays. He's got a beard as well. Should fit in nicely.

The rest are of Micky Adam's level Journeymen.a failure and lasts about six months. signing two year contracts, get sack, sign another two year deal two months later. Have a look into it, they get similar attendances to us but with conference wages and costs. It's also more convenient for MM to travel too, he lives in the north so is saving say 50 miles one way. 100 miles per day, 5 days a week is a fair saving so even if they're paying less than us he may be better off. And sometimes you have to take a couple of steps back to repair your reputation, if he succeeds he'll be on L2 wages, if he gets a second promotion the wages go up again and offers from other clubs will come in. It's not all about money, not that I think there will be much difference between the two given Tranmere's size and position. |

John Ward normally gets a mention whenever we have a vacancy so I thought I'd throw his name into the mix.

Ryan Giggs has turned down Swansea. Think he would do better setting his sights a little lower to learn the trade but I suppose he has little knowledge of players at our level

The fact is whoever is appointed they are going to have to work with MMs squad with perhaps only limited opportunity to tinker with it in January. On the face of then the person appointed will need to be one he'll of a motivator.
The task they take on should not be underestimated!!!

Shropshire Star have quoted the club as having had 100 potential applicants? Given that there are only 72 FL clubs...who the hell have applied?
Bentley saying he hasn't been approached, Cotterill & Hurst have both ruled themselves out of the job. Jackett has allegedly been offered the job and has been given the weekend to think it over....and Wolves have apparently stated that they want to keep hold of Rob Edwards...
...so the question is - who has applied?
