Chris Powell 28/1 Sky Bet

[poidy]

This has got to be worth a punt surely?

More realistic with the majority of names Sky Bet have priced

 

[Pondicherry]

Possibly - although we have spoken to both Sherwood amd Malky apparently.

 

[Telford Seagull]

I said the other day that Chris Powell would be a shout. Very talented young manager who is also well respected in the game. Would be a good choice but I think he'd take a year or two to get to grips with the club

Sherwood is the man for me

 

[symyjym]

Worthy of being on the list

 

[Justice]

I hope we get a manager who has already got a team promoted to the PL this time around.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I wouldn't mind Powell either to be honest. Knows Jones and of course Dale Stephens. Respected coach who did a good job at Charlton. There are actually plenty of candidates out there...

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I like this man, would be happy to give him a go.

 

[Bozza]

He seems to rate Obika.

It's a "no" from me.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

It's a "no" from me.

Perhaps he knows how to get the best out of him

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

If the aim is to get in someone for a long term appointment then I could certainly think of worse. He's young, well respected and clearly has head on correctly (not even slightly Di Canio).

If a more immediate impact is the aim then I'm not sure he'd be the way to go.

That said, he is immensely likeable, so sod it, just give him the job.

Please no..... not good enough for the promotion push we require

Agree 100%, would be seriously underwhelmed

 

[Turkey]

He'd fit in with the Garcia "Dignity" factor, he'd know the league and probably appreciate the opportunity more than some. I think some of the mooted targets would want a Prem club or a club with more money. With two managers leaving with finances a big issue some of the more high profile mooted candidates might think they'd struggle to get us up and therefore think it's not worth the gamble.

I think he could be a good fit but appreciate it doesn't get the pulse racing!

 

[poidy]

He's a yes man. That, after all, is what Bloom and the suits want.

That's why Sherwood will never be considered

I see it as being a less a 'Yes man' situation and more a 'working within the limits we've set' one.

I can see why that wouldn't appeal to many managers, as they seem to have carte blanche elsewhere, but football is changing, I can see similar setups springing up all over the place before long.
