Flynn for me is a risk and a real cheap option from the board.
If we are going to pay compensation for anyone if would have to be Danny Cowley IMO.
Warburton is a great shout though.

Saw Flynn close up at a couple of Development/Reserve games. Foul-mouthed and 'get stuck in' type of manager. Although he's got Newport doing quite well this season his selections and substitutions often bemuse the fans. For me he's too inexperienced. We're in a parlous state and need a manager with enough experience and contacts to turn things around on the pitch asap. Byron Anthony is at Newport too, so maybe he might bring him as his number 2. |

I really couldn’t care less all I want to see is the back of these jiordanians who are f**king this club over. If it Cotterill I’m gone after 54 years. AlQadis out NOW Can't we at least keep this one thread on track, there's plenty of other threads on here if you just want to be abusive to the owners. I am on track old son, I couldn't care less who the next manager is with the exception of Cotterill. I have not abused the owners I just want them gone ! |

A guy who has proven pedigree managing in League One? Some of the comments on here are incredible. More the fact he slagged us off, and the appointment will cause more crap which we could do without Do the owners care about that |

If he lost his first couple of games he wouldn’t recover and crowds would be less than we had in the conference but in league 1 with league 1 wages to pay. Cotterill would be the biggest risk of all possible managers. |

Flynn now down to 6/4 odds, although could just due to just a few Rovers fans betting taking a punt on him after seeing him mentioned on here etc. I can't see why Cowley would leave Lincoln, they've a similar size ground and have just spent £1m+ on a training ground plus look odds on to get promoted. Don't Lincoln play awful hoof ball anyway? |

The more I think about it the more I believe Graham Coughlan is the preferred candidate. It can't be a coincidence that he is a Argyle legend and Starnes is now CEO here. Perhaps he was brought in as part of succession planning made by the club when DC had a less than impressive end to last season? I think the club have high expectations of Graham and if he is relatively successful over the coming weeks, he's a shoo-in for the job.

Cotterill would be the biggest risk of all possible managers. Football fans are a fickle bunch. If he started with a couple of wins and we pushed up to mid table then people would soon come round. Buckle was a relatively popular choice I seem to remember. Personally, I don’t really think a great deal about the past. DC made enough digs at city during his time here. A few little jokes to get the supporters on-side. I thought it was funny when DC wound up the teds and I’m sure city fans felt the same. Would Cotterill be my number 1 choice? No. Would I get behind him? 100%. If the next manager gets it wrong, we’ll be relegated. It’s a massive decision for the club. I hope they get it right. |

I agree with all that but I think you miss my point a bit. What I’m saying is if the new manager loses his first couple of games the overwhelmingly majority of us will still get behind him but if that manager is Cotterill I honestly think they’ll turn on him. In that respect Cotterill would be the biggest risk. |

If you want long ball football Cotterill is your man. |

Historically, we've always done better with young, relatively inexperienced managers. In my time, Megson, Williams, Francis, Ward, Holloway, Trollope and Clarke all provided either success or attractive football and are generally fondly remembered.
For some reason, the opposite has generally been true of those 'journeyman' managers. Allison, Francis Mk2, Graydon, Atkins (although harshly remembered in some ways), Penney, McGhee, Ward Mk2 had less success.
There has been the odd exception to this such as Buckle but generally it holds true.
For me, I wouldn't have got rid of Darrell however it's happened and we just have to get on with it. My vote from the early front runners would probably be Flynn or possibly Gary Bowyer. Holloway on a short term deal only as I think his best days are gone but he may be the only one who can lift the place with his enthusiasm (unlikely given relationship with owners). Cotterill would be a disaster in my opinion. Fully expect Coughlan or Hargreaves.

Cotterill would be a disaster in my opinion. Fully expect Coughlan or Hargreaves. It’s a very difficult job to come into. Clear unrest with the fans and seemingly no direction or ambition off the pitch. If there is a manager who aspires to manage a club, whose ceiling is mid-table league one, then this is perfect for them. Sadly, I think we are currently as high in the football pyramid as possible really. Without a new stadium, we are pretty stagnant. |

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink? Ex Chelsea Legend, mixed record at this level. Didn't he take Northampton out of this league last year after a shocking run of results? Think I'd sooner see a Coughlin/Hargreaves partnership have a go at keeping us up. |

Our outspoken CEO has said it is unlikely we will get a new man in this side of xmas, so at least a couple of weeks.

Aint Wael mates with Harry Redknapp? Maybe he will ask Harry to sort us out until the end of the season?  |
