I'm not saying Money is the right man and I don't know much about the circumstances at Luton when he was there but the following season after his departure Luton finished 5th

Maybe it was a failure on paper, but show me a manager anywhere who we have a hope in hell's chance of getting to this club who has never had a failure, then criticise his record at Luton.
As far as I remember he was a guy with bags of confidence and a no nonsense attitude. Could be just what we need.

If it's so perfectly good, why did they fire him? Why was he so unpopular? You are ignoring the fact that Luton are a massive Non-league club, the biggest in the past 10 years.

Seriously-would he be a contender if he didn't have a history with us? No, he would not.

Would Dennis Wise? Would Richard Shaw? Would Steve Staunton? These are the types of managers we are going to have to look at because they are the only types we can attract. It's no good hoping that we're going to get the perfect boss. We're going to have to put up with whatever we get and get on with it. You never know, whoever we do get may just work out.

Why should it matter whether they have a history with the club or not?

You are assuming that the correct decision was made. Football isn't always a sensible business. As Grendel said, I'd happily take any new manager if they were going to produce the winningest record in CCFC's history...

If memory serves, I think there was more to it than that. Whispers of collusion with the ousted Richardson, or something to that tune.

Yeah, I believe that he went to BR for some advice. It may have just been a casual chat, who knows. The powers that be (were) decided it was treachery and ousted him. Face. Palm.

Money =56 years old...old school would take no tosh from the players..
Highest win percentage ever at Luton and got sacked when 3rd :0.
Also very good time at wallsall got promoted conceding 34 goals in 46 games .sacked the following season as they failed to reach play offs at first attempt basically.
I'd have him here anyday

Prefer to have Richard Money, over Shaw, Staunton and Blackwell.

I like the idea of Richard Money.... he was well respected here till all the board room changes. Managed 3 clubs abroad quite successfully which is very commendable.
As mentioned, a bit old school, takes no shit, has a link with the club, knows all about youth players and also been a good scout for the club in the past while academy boss.

This is the type of passion we need from a manager

Sorry, I don't mean to pick on you Colonel, but I'm fed up of hearing this phrase. Isn't it just simpler and easier on the ear to say "the best win record" or something?

True and his stats are good but if I remember was treated shabbily by us when he left

I think Money looks like a much better prospect than most linked to be fair.

Money is a good manager. I'd have no qualms if we got him in.
Edit: although I do genuinely think the above could count against him!

Richard Money was sacked 6 months after confronting the fans in that video - so that's not why.
I'm sorry but Luton are a massive club in that division. Having said that I would rather it be him than some of the people we've been linked with.
I've said this many times, I want a Graeme Souness type to slam McSheffrey and Baker up against a wall and give them the hairdryer treatment.

We all say silly things and don't mean them. In May I said after 17 years of season tickets I wouldn't return to the Ricoh til SISU had gone, and... Oh yeah I haven't*
*Watch me rush back up if we appoint Wise though.

One of the few times I have ever agreed with you @rich87, someone needs to come in and leave the "I'm your friend" shit behind and give the whole lot a kick up there backsides, and make them start fighting for their place, and not just assume their good enough.
Time to get rid of the it's only cov attitude that has hung around this club for too long.
Accepting mediocre has to stop and has to stop at the next appointment.

Yep - just has to. For that reason Wise is the man. He doesn't take shit from anyone - and has proven himself. Another thread on this forum shows he has a higher win % than any of the others mentioned.
He is a winner and has done the business at higher levels than Richard Money. He was also doing the business at Millwall without Poyet - so even though it's fashionable to bum Gus, he wasn't the undisputed reason for Swindon and Leeds' success.
