Looks like Holloway and Colin are ruled out after the comments from the new owner. Too old. Not sure either would want the job anyway.
That also probably deals with Cotterill as well. Bit weathered.
And DC. No championship experience.
So we need a young manager with a track record of success, with experience in L1, and the Championship, and maybe also some time in the Premier League.
Oh and willing to join Bristol Rovers.
I admire the ethos and ambition but not sure if we'll see a queue of these youthful wunderkinds outside Hussain AlSaeed's office.

Indeed, I’m not sure any single person would tick all those boxes. If they had all those qualities and they were young then I’m not sure they be looking to join us. However I thought he said all the right things about the search for a new manager as well as being more factual and telling us more about the ‘new’ ground in 15 minutes than Wael has said in 7 years. And I didn’t take from the interview that Mangan and Co were out of the picture as some did. When asked outright I got the impression if they were to do well in the next 3 games then they would be considered. I also liked what he said about employees being employed by the club as part of the clubs infrastructure and not the managers mates. However after so many false starts in my 50+ years of supporting I’m definitely in the ‘I’ll believe it when I’m sitting in it’ camp. But tbf this does sound a more achievable project and by re-developing the Mem, a new site does not need to be found. UTG! |

Worryingly that rules in Ainsworth. Who got Wycombe up through the playoffs which was the position Coughlan got us into at the time before we decided to take a different direction. So if we were to go for Ainsworth, we could have saved ourselves 4 years by backing Coughlan fully and keeping him here. But that's irrelevant, as we wouldn't appoint Ainsworth, surely. Have to say I'd really like it to be Garry Monk. Lives down in Devon and I think has been running an academy with his brother. Funny how perspectives change over time - he was sacked by Swansea with them 15th in the Premier League. Did well at Leeds, did very well under the circumstances at Birmingham. Perceived at the time to have under achieved at Middlesbrough and a disaster at Sheffield Weds who were a basket case at the time. Stating the obvious but any manager who is a proven success at our level and hasn't fallen somewhere along the way wouldn't be interested in our job |

Of the names mentioned Leam Richardson and Gary Monk seem to fit what the owners say they are looking for.

Saw Ainsworth in the Thatchers bogs fishing for dog ends, in the urinals, could be worth a punt.  |

So he is director or at least involved with a company called Socccer Profile based in Newton Abbot. Another director there is called Stuart Monk, assuminly Gary's brother. The company is also endorsed by Brendan Rodgers. Obviously they get on well at Swansea so maybe some Celtic players coming here on loan if Garry was to join? The more I'm reading about Garry the more he is standing out as an obvious candidate. The biggest worry is why has he been out of the game so long? www.soccer-profile.com/about-us/instagram.com/my_soccerprofile?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== |

Really not sure about Monk. Apart from Swansea, he’s never really held a job more than 12-18 months, even if it is at a higher level.

We should be sending our youngsters to Celtic to help them get ready for league one. If they can make it in the Scots Prem there is an outside chance they will eventually be good enough for us. |

Whoever takes over, I hope they try and utilise the good squad we have by trying to entertain and go forwards.
All this backwards, sideways (to keep possession) and then run out ideas and get closed down and lump it stuff is boring.
We looked like a team just under the relegation line, who were scared stiff to lose the ball.

Didn't Swansea fans blame him for destroying the way they played which they had been building for years since Martinez's time? If we want GC type football then we may as well go all out to now sign Ainsworth? In fact other than Ainsworth & Richardson who ticks the youngish manager who's got promoted to L1 boxes the owners are apparently seeking who's likely to be available? |

No way Kevin Maher will get mentioned but has achieved a minor miracle at Southend.
He and his players have often not been paid, had a large points deduction at the start of the season, fan unrest, only has a 15 man squad, with some of the younger coaches being forced back into getting registered as players so they can sit in the bench for emergencies, had to sell a potential star teenager, and now sit in mid table.

Gary Monk by a country mile for me if we are ignoring old boys like Warnock.
A very impressive playing career at Swansea and promoted to save their Premiership status. Did that and led them to their highest ever finish in that league, 8th.
In his own words all five of his clubs have been firefighting jobs where he was brought in with very short times to turn them around.
His record under those circumstances is very decent and for the last three years has been involved in coaching courses all over the country.
He has got to be the best cannidate out their and a non firefighting job might well appeal to him close to home.

His football isn't pleasing on the eye but if you look at his record at Wycombe with probably the budget he had to work then he did an amazing job there and ok they did come back down from the championship but the fact they gave it a good go and it went to the final day was an amazing effort. Only thing is that is he one of these managers that will only ever be known for his record at Wycombe while all the other clubs he didn't have any success?? Will find out soon I guess. Also could he work with the current squad?? Deffo not in my top 5 but at the same time I would rather him than some of the other names on the list. |
