Potential Managers
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
As always it will be intereseting to see how the next few days develop. I have seen a few names mentioned Carsley,Gill,Hendrie,Bowyer it will be interesting if we go for a younger manager early in his career trying to make an impression or go for an older reliable manager who we have gone for in the past.

There is one experienced league manager with several lower league promotions on CV who has very recently become available.
Carlsey would be a bit of a coup given how highly rated he is as a coach whether that translates to being a good manager we would have to see. Even Gill to be fair has done a lot of coaching at bigger clubs and is an up and coming manager. I get the feeling the chairman will want to make a statement and get a big name in maybe a former player who has played at a decent level.
Unfortunately I don't get to see a list of applicants or who's available! No I can't see Mike Duff coming here I would imagine it will be Carsley if i had to guess at this stage.Artemis wrote:Like? You're not seriously suggesting Mike Duff, are you?
I think Gill gets mentioned as much because he did well at Wolves academy and is doing a good job at Bath - the ex-player link is very much a bonus.
He's not my first choice, but then my first choice is unlikely to come to Cheltenham (Gary Bowyer if anyone's interested).

No, I'm not really being serious.
But your line "maybe a former player who has played at a decent level" points to really only one player. Many others at league one, a few a flirt for a season or two in the championship. But only Duff Jnr has consistently played at a decent level.Benctfc wrote:Unfortunately I don't get to see a list of applicants or who's available!

What, the man who went over 90 games without sacking our worst ever league manager?
Whoever the new man or woman is, let’s hope they enough experience and connections in the game to sign experience pros like Mullins and Hussey. Someone with promotions on their CV and some time at a higher, or even international level would be ideal.
Yeah and more importantly someone who can average more than a point a game over 100 matches.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Artemis wrote:And I wonder how much involvement PB will have in the process? Plenty I hope!

Would Devaney be an option? Doing a good job with Barnsley’s academy.
The only thing that might make Cotts come back is that he has failed at a couple of Championship clubs and, if he wants to manage again, he may have to drop down again. But I still think there is only a tiny chance that might actually happen.
With a few exceptions it's definitely not chicken feed. Jon Palmer has reported our wage budget is top half for this league and you'd imagine that's without heavilly draining the fees from the summer.Artemis wrote:Whilst a seven figure transfer fee may be a lot for us, by the standards of other clubs in this division it's chicken feed. Especially as i suspect the board will want to put some aside for the inevitable rainy day.
