Anyone mentioned Martin Allen? I think he's spoken well of Rovers support. Came very close to saving Barnet last season,. As a fire fighter, could just keep the Gas up. Blimey! Yes I’ve heard him speak well about us and I’m sure I read somewhere where he was talking generally and said he’d love to manag eus one day. Don’t think it will or should happen though.😉 UTG! |

Hang on when you say “this level of football” I presume you mean league 1. Don’t think they’ve just taken non league players to Lincoln. Akinde was a good signing from league 2 and I reckon Stokegifford is right. At the moment lots on here are talking the Cowleys up, promotion from the NL and not yet half a season in league 2. Sure they could do well in league 1 and we would be happy with them. Good managers who can make the jump up, exactly the right profile for our managers I would think. And keep most fans happy. UTG! The best manager in recent years in non-league that could definitely do a job higher is Daryl McMahon. 57% win record overall and a promotion and two playoff finishes in the last three years. Yes pirate I saw you link him earlier. Afraid I don’t know much about him other than he’s done well on a shoestring and always sounded sensible and down to earth on the very few times I heard him speak. Seemed to mix his teams with a few experienced pros and younger wannabes. Have you seen his teams play? UTG! |

Seemed to mix his teams with a few experienced pros and younger wannabes. Have you seen his teams play? UTG! I've seen them a few times and they are always trying to play on the front foot and attack minded. There have reportedly been approaches from Football League clubs in the past and he only left his job due to restructuring issues. This is an article from the summer. Ebbsfleet United have received several approaches from Football League clubs for manager Daryl McMahon and have since rejected them. He led them to promotion a year ago and took them to the National League playoffs in the 2017/18 season. McMahon was “flattered” to learn of the EFL interest but has no desire to walk away from the club who signed him as a player in 2013. Daryl McMahon said: “I’m happy in the sense that the work we’ve done has been recognised, which is always nice. “As an individual I’m very ambitious and I want to manage in the Football League. I believe I can do that at Ebbsfleet. “I’m excited by my job. I think we’ve started something really good here. “I’m three years into it and I think I’ve had a good three years but it’s still baby steps; I’m just starting out in what will hopefully be a long career. “I’m 34 years old, which is very young to have the experience I’ve got already and in terms of Ebbsfleet the club, I’ve been a player, captain, caretaker, academy manager and now manager. “I’ve done every job at the club in five years and I know the club from top to bottom. “I know it inside-out and I’ve been able, with the help of people like Peter Varney, to mould it into something we can be proud of and I am really enjoying this job.” Speaking to FleetOnline, Dr Abdulla stated: “I will not name the clubs involved but Daryl signed a five-year contract last summer and has done a fantastic job at this club. “I am well aware of how popular Daryl and his style of play is with our supporters and I would like to assure them he is totally committed to this club and that his ambition matches ours.” fanbanter.co.uk/efl-clubs-make-approaches-for-ebbsfleet-united-boss-daryl-mcmahon/ |

Thanks pirate, sounds ok to me. Also a good fit regarding football stuff but as he’s not on the betting list I guess it would be a fairly long odds choice. Not sure the AQS will do anything too out of the ordinary.
UTG!

We've seen the picture of Cotterill sat next to Hamer at a Rovers match in November. Was Cotterill there to discuss the managers position? If so, it was highly disrespectful towards DC, especially as he was still in the job and fighting tooth and nail to get some positive results. Also, was DC aware of this? That could explain why he was demoralized and demotivated.

The owners Chairman, CEO haven't got a backbone between them. |

But hurst signed rodman and payne so his recruitment strategy is dreadful surely? He also got the best out of them, so if anyone is going to replicate that at the Mem, surely he'd be best placed to do so? I didnt like the fact that he got caught negotiating with ipswich just before a play-off final as shrewsbury manager so not my choice. But whoever they appoint were stuck with him for better or worse anyhow. |

The whole place stinks at the moment, from the top all the way down. |

All of this talk and I’m really starting to think we will promote someone from within.

If, as rumoured, there has to be a cut of 1 million quid in the budget next season, where do you think the axe will fall? It won't be the CEO, it won't be the Chairman, it won't be the London Office.............It will be the Development Squad as that costs 300k a year......what else will be cut? |

Probably safe to say whoever we get will be a short term option and we'll bounce from one manager to the next, due to the fact the club has no long term ambitions in any regard.

Wasn’t Bobby Gould at the Mem recently, cunningly disguised as Paul Gadd?

Some worrying parallels to our last league one relegation season emerging... Trolls removed from his role after defeat on the second Saturday in December by four clear goals (6-2 at Sheffield Wednesday) DC removed from his role after defeat on the second Saturday in December by four clear goals. Caretaker Manager appointed from within (Darren Patterson) with a quick permanent appointment unlikely. Caretaker manager appointed from within with prospect of a quick permanent appointment unlikely. Hopefully we won't suffer the same 5 game winless run that we endured under Patterson followed by the clowning about with the team that the truly shocking Penney instigated, culminating in handing a senior midfielder their last hurrah as player manager to take us down (Linesy perhaps?)
