Greg Abbott fancy a go? Currently an assistant. Would he want to return to being a number 1 for the club he started out at?

Don't really rate him as a manger.

The Philosopher · Feb 23, 2015

Dennis Wise anyone?

Possible even Dowie as co-Manager? (Or one assisting the other)

One a in motivator role, one an intelligent fitness/tactical role?

A lot of these people who have been out of the game for a couple of years (and already have a few quid but don't want to simply fade away) may be willing to work for very little just to keep their names relevant.

Yeah, I think Wilder would be good. He was mentioned as you say last time.

Could blackmail Northampton into nicking their pitch if they don't cave in and let us poach their manager?

speedie87 · Feb 23, 2015

How about a Cov dream team of

Graham Alexandra manager
Greg Abbott assistant
Eric Black scout
Bobby Gould Chief Scout
Oggy - Goalie coach
Richard Money u21 manager
Trevor Gould Academy manager

Apparently they've already had over 60 phone calls for the job.

It has to be Andy Webster player manager.

I'd have him as manager until the end of the season (also the end of his contract) if it meant he never got near the first team again!

speedie87 · Feb 23, 2015

have we ever been relegated in a season where we sacked the manager?

Apparat from Martin Allen. I wouldn't complain about any of the others

Colonel Mustard · Feb 23, 2015

Doesn't really matter. Put together a list of the applicants, close the eyes, stick a pin in one of the names. Hope they work out. And if they do, hope they don't then jump ship at the first decent offer from another club.

How about a second spell for Micky Adams? Most of the bookies favourites worry me a lot!

No way! I'd hate that

@KieranCrowley1: @SkyBlueBarnesy Waggott stressed earlier that DH is the Under-21s coach and is only in temp charge. The search has already begun.

sw88 · Feb 23, 2015

Wonder what Nigel's thoughts are on Beattie; he wants a striker after all!

Although he seems to have his heart set on Dublin stepping up!

As does another caller tonight (was his name Nigel too? Old boy) who has his heart set on Bobby Gould. Knows his parents and everything (then went on to say they are 'probably' no longer with us anymore....so probably never knew them anyway )

RoboCCFC90 · Feb 23, 2015

From Cov Mad:

Coventry City have had sixty applicants phoning Steve Waggott about the vacant manager's job.
City sacked Steven Pressley at around 10,15am-10.30am this morning and Mr Waggott has said that his phone has been busy all day taking over sixty calls about the job.
Steve Waggott has said that the club will take its time over the appointment of a new manager.

Thoughts?

Colin Calderwood - he lives round the corner from me, and seems a friendly chap - another Scottish manager though?

speedie87 · Feb 23, 2015

We need someone in before Saturday.

tisza · Feb 23, 2015

1. we haven't got time to wait to make an appointment.
2. what sort of management is it that hasn't been thinking about replacement managers for at least a couple of weeks?

They may have had sixty calls, but 58 of them were just offering compo for PPI. Dunno if we took out PPI on Robinsons loans??

Gareth Ainsworth from Wycombe.

Anyone but Hockaday

Good shout. He's done alright hasn't he?

sw88 · Feb 23, 2015

Pressley is 25/1 for the Barnsley job! Imagine if he went on to move up a league.....

Yeah, done a good job there. Might be swapping leagues with us in the summer though!

To be fair, that is a pretty strong shortlist. I hope someone from the club is reading this site.

Unfortunately of the seven names listed; realistically I think we could only attract three - Alexander, Money and Hill. The others would deem themselves too big for a struggling league one club, wouldn't gain anything from taking us over (i.e. The risk of failure and a tarnished reputation far outweighs the chance of success) or simply would not come without assurances of money.

We we need a manager with something to prove, eager to succeed and willing to work with a limited transfer kitty.

TasmanSeaSkyBlue · Feb 23, 2015

Is `Roy of the Rovers' available to become `Roy of the City'? If we've ever needed good old Roy, it's now!

Yh me too, you play for the club? Ironically Craig was a better player when he was younger, yet Graham went onto make the big time!

yeh, played for Canley for a while, i wasn't that good, Craig was defo the better player, Graham got the break though, Wakey should have gone places too

Jackoskyblue · Feb 24, 2015

Tony Mowbray is now 8/1 from 33/1

Chipfat · Feb 24, 2015

Hockaday will get it till the end of season,,if we beat MK Dons.... Scary thought but Sisu will not be wanting this revolving door and multiple pay offs going on.. Short term deal see what next season brings will be SW wish i would of thought...

Terry Gibson's perm · Feb 24, 2015

Waggott will be searching the loan market for a manager as we speak.

So who do we want? (1 Viewer)
