    Updated list from Skybet. Who mentioned Adkins? :emoticon-0102-bigsm. I reckon Curbishley is in with a shout. Or maybe Nigel Spackman.....

    Out of the names being mentioned and within my own limited knowledge of who would be available, it would be him or Pearson. I'd like to think our new Sporting director has a wider knowledge pool than I have though so wouldn't be surprised if someone I'd never heard of rocked up.

    Because they haven't played in the league. I see it all the time in non-league, excellent coaches/managers overlooked for 'names' even though their coaching/management ability is not as good. The same applies in the league. Clubs know that fans prefer someone they've heard of. That's why people like Pearson, Bruce, Mark Hughes stay on the managerial merry-go-round constantly getting jobs over people with more ability.

    That is not a moderate comment. You should be banned

    The first step on our road back. I can sense momentum building.

    I was talking to a Leicester fan after they appointed Phillips as coach to Pearson. They said it was thought among Leicester fans that the improvement that kept them up (the season they were canny adrift at the bottom of the Premier League) was a lot down to Phillips.
    No idea if it’s true or not

    So, as I asked earlier, if the Cowleys are so good how come they've been on the dole for over a year? It isn't because they never played League footy.

    If they have the new sporting director and manager positions sorted, and the manager reports to the sporting director, perhaps the new sporting director was involved in choosing the new manager?
