Lambert ( Still lives in the area and was in charge of Norwich in this division, or Rossler who would look at us as a chance to rebuild his reputation before moving onto bigger things again, or even a real outsider = Stuart Pearce

I've got family who are Villa STH, and Lambert was their Pressley. I don't care if he managed in league one, 11-12 goals in 23/24 league games is shocking by anyone's standards. Very negative, very defensive, round pegs square holes (cleverly left wing!!), possession between centre backs and centre mids.

I was not suggesting him, hes another id rather slash my wrists at, but sounds a perfect fit for Waggott then.

The Mirror is reporting -

Dave Jones and James Beattie are on the list of favourites being considered for the vacant managerial job at Sky Bet League One side Coventry City following Steven Pressley's sacking.

Jones is a name not been mentioned on here much.

I wouldn't mind either of them, as long as it's not Stuart Pearce or Hockaday then I'm happy!

If Hockaday hasn't lightened the mood and eased the pressure through points won AFTER Barnsley, then I really hope its James Beattie.

Beattie?! WTF NO!!!!! What has he done anywhere? apart from wear nice suits and ties with large knots in them...

Woodster · Feb 25, 2015

Looks like there's been some money on Bet Victor for Greg Abbott - wouldn't be my choice but could be interesting, obviously as a Cov lad.

Need a root and branch change.

This would certainly be a start.

PS....Sure Jose and Arsene ain't on that list.

Glaziers green top · Feb 25, 2015

What we need is a proven manager, it's no time for beginners and those without at least Championship experience. We desperately need a steady hand and someone who commands respect.

kg82 · Feb 25, 2015

But if it's Hockaday we could make up a chant along the lines of this:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r0_66wE3ehg

And change it to "it's Hockaday, no win today"?

CovLis86 · Feb 25, 2015

I really dont understand why Beattie is a name up there....no experience or credentials. Please no. We need someone who does command respect and has some tactical nous.

Even Russ Abbot would do a better job.

Someone mentioned to me they heard little whispers Stuart Pearce enquired, but I doubt it.

That's not Lamberts natural game though, he didn't do it in his previous 2 years at Aston Villa and never in all his time at Norwich. He was trying to adapt Aston Villa into a more possession team because of criticism from the fans and probably under pressure from the board to play 'better football' and pass it around more on the ground.

We have no chance of getting him but he would be superb imo

Name well in top half of list, experienced and is out of work. Struggling to believe it myself. Might only be something like has applied for position. Would have thought they have not even drawn up a shortlist yet.

Sean O'Driscoll, heard rumours on the day of Pressley's sacking.

Brizzle fans didn't rate him, his impressive period at Donny is a long time ago now.

Currently in charge of England U19s, would he swap that for us? Doubt it tbh.

Jackoskyblue · Feb 25, 2015

Can't see the poll but we should go all out and get Graham Alexander if we go for the free option then I'd be happy with Tony Mowbray

Covstar · Feb 25, 2015

Nigel Adkins is the one. Very experienced in this league and the leagues above. Ideal for Cov

Glaziers green top · Feb 25, 2015

Sean O Driscoll is a NO from me. Had a decent spell at Donnie but that was ages ago Also as far as personalities go he make Tony Mowbray look like Boy George.

LB87ccfc · Feb 25, 2015

People saying Adkins, he has had money to spend everywhere hes been, when he didnt have much money was at Scunthorpe and hardly set the world alight.. be careful what you wish for.

He had healthy backers at saints and a whole host of talent coming through the academy which helped him be a success and make his name..

LB87ccfc · Feb 25, 2015

Comon own up who are the pisstakers who have voted -

Curbishly
Ince
Hockaday
Appleton ( Michael)
Johnson

If you can advise your name and age, I will book you an appointment to see the mental health nurse!

He did very well at Scunthorpe! Hence why he was given the Saints job

Gary Hooper fired them to the league title pretty much, not saying I wouldn't be happy if we did manage to entice him but to be fair, he will be looking at other opportunities I imagine

I hate it when people do this. If a club does well it's down to the players, not the management. If a club does rubbish, it's down to the management. He got promoted twice by the way, reached a football league trophy final and kept them in the championship before he went to Saints.

kg82 · Feb 25, 2015

Don't even know why I'm debating, it won't be Adkins anyway! Hockaday all the way

I know his history, as I said I would not be displeased if we managed to entice someone of that caliber, but I just saying its absolutely essential this appointment is right, I could sit here saying well when he achieved this at Scunthorpe the league was different and he got his arse handed to him in the championship, but none of it matters, as I said i'd be pleased but surprised if he would consider a move here.

This I agree with, I just can't see it being anyone else. I really would love to eat my words though!
