Man Friday
RoyalinBracknell Personally I'd like to see someone with a long-standing connection to the club, either Brian McDermott or Eamon Dolan.

I think McDermott would certainly keep us up and his pragmatic style would suit our current situation my view. I'd certainly back him to re-establish us as a competitive Championship team relatively quickly.

I think Dolan would be a poppose choice and would help to bring through some of the younger plays. I'd be slightly thoughif confidence has been completely destroyed as to whether this would be the right approach though or if it might risk us ending up in a relegation battle.

Translation please...

Oh sorry, I'm rubbish with an ipad!

The last paragraph should read: 'I think Dolan would be a popular choice and would help to bring through some of the younger players. I'd be slightly worried though if confidence has been completely destroyed as to whether this would be the right approach or if it might risk us ending up in a relegation battle.

McDermott would be my first choice.

Eamon Dolan.

Oh what a mess.

We cant get Howe now because there's no way he's leaving Bournemouth until he's taken them up, and then he's a premiership manager.
We cant approach the level of manager (eg Di Matteo) we were approaching when McDermott was sacked, because our status as a club is dropping game by game.
We cant get McDermott back because he'd never meet the level of our expectations of him.
We'd struggle to attract the type of out of work manager who would normally take a punt on us, because of our intentions in the January Window and for contracts that end this year.

Which leaves us with a lower league manager for whom we would be the biggest club they've managed, or an internal promotion.

I don't want Dolan because he's too good at what he does already, and Im not sure he wants the job - which leaves Parkinson.

And if you think that's underwhelming (and I do) then remember we wouldn't be such beggars in the market a year ago; or, of course, if we didn't have Adkins in the first place.

What's Zola up to nowadays?

Given that Dolan met with Leeds when they tried to bring him in as manager in July, I think it would be wrong to assume he's not interested in management.

"Leave him there, he's doing a good job", is a poor strategy in any workplace. Very complacent. The Leeds' situation in the Summer is evidence that other employers are eyeing up Dolan, and Dolan would consider leaving for the right opportunity.

Reading convinced Dolan to turn down Leeds in the Summer. It wouldn't surprise me if that consisted of informal assurances that he'd be strongly considered the next time the manager's job was vacated.

You could argue that link shows he is more interested in the Academy than managing a first team. There are good quotes there that suggest that.

At the time I was under the impression he was a football manager.

Funny thing is we're all talking as if Adkins has already been sacked! The owners probably don't even know yesterdays scoreline yet!
The players available have premier league experience. We've got one of the best squads in the division so Adkins can have no complaints when we does finally and belatedly get the elbow.

Royal Lady
LUX Wanting the manager out, sack the Board type stuff is ( in most cases) standard football-mong behaviour.

Oh - did you want to keep Burns and Bullivant then?

I thought we were wasting our time sacking Bullivant at the time. Oh look. I was right, we could have kept him and been just as shit.

At this point, I just want anyone but Adkins.

It's just not possible for anyone to do worse IMO.
