Phil brown or holloway or evil olsen

Don't want to worry you all, Justin Edinburgh has just been touted by the Daily Fail

But is Holloway looking for a northern scout? :)

Anyone know what number ball those frannie c###s are in tonight's draw? the BBC seem to have missed them off the list.

Cotterill - yes please.

I happen to feel bookies favourite Holloway would do well

Not Cotterill, thanks.

Cotterill.

John McGreal Colchester manager another one being linked

I assume Alan Reeves will go with the team to Doncaster on Sat?

No dancing. But have to admit to a large sigh of relief.

Just found out, cheers ards for especially the backroom changes you made. Just hope the ardley outers wont dance around the living room tonight

Spartan I believe that is exactly what the research into changing managers showed. No more or different chances just they start going in. The debate is whether that is as you say just the way the luck goes and would have happened anyway (which research suggests is the case) or whether the change inspires it.

I will be very interested in the team selection on Saturday.

Dondog-Bassey told fans in the bar a few weeks ago the quote I put, and yes it was over Ferrier.

I think any experienced manager will regard us as just a stepping stone to a better job, so can't see any appointee staying as long as Ardley did. Two years max and then off.

It will be sods for law NA that those stats (Lurkers link at 09.30) about near misses will reverse themselves now that he's gone. We must have had about 6 chances that were within a foot of going in v Haringey alone.

Arlu not about ex player (he was hardly a club legend be fair) but about practicality of who might apply. Also thinking about it a conference national manager is likely to know more about cheap lower levels players with potential than guys who’ve been managing in the championship and able to pay bigger money at those clubs.

Arlu - OK but you need to look at realistic options. Some of the names mentioned here today ate completely unrealistic ie Danny Cowley, Alan Pardew etc.

Just thinking. Does anyone know, are there ex players who are members of the DT. Also considering their ties to the club etc would there have been anything stopping someone like NA or SB being a DT member and standing for DTB?

Garrard is at his first and only management position, is under contract so we'd have to pay Borehamwood compensation, and has achieved nothing other than a run to the conference play off final. We need much more experience and proven success than that.

How about agent Micchie. After all it was clear he hated the franchise as much as the football world.

Lurker - yes. Go on Luke apply, you know you want to 😁

Jogon if he got some experience and did a good job and our job came up again in 4-5 years I wouldn’t have an issue. At the moment though it feels like a continuation of jobs for the boys and for me in our current structure we really, really need some outside experience to come in and shape the football club.

Spartan - that's the kind of thing I'm thinking... if we could afford that.
