Why do you always speak in acronyms?

Mowbray - Decent record but doesn't pull up any trees, got a strong WBA promotoed and relegated the following season, failed at Celtic. Done well at Middelsbrough for a while then it all went wrong, Karanka went in and doing fantastic now at Middelsbrough. Wouldn't be my first choice but not a bad option
Rosler - Excellent record at Brentford, laid the way for Warburton now. Done great at Wigan initially, harsh sacking I feel after a bad spell and wasn't given enough time to turn it around. Only have to look at Mackay who is doing a significantly worse than Rosler to see it was harsh.
Adkins - Great job at Scunthorpe, fantastic achievement at Southampton although as I've said before he had a fantastic team so don't think we should go over the top about the job he done there, average at Reading but there are a lot of strong teams in the championship now.
James Beattie? - All I've read about his time at Accrington has been positive, kept them up in 15th place with one of the lowest budgets in the league. They had no training ground and he got them a place to train off his own back. Used to working on tight budget, has had no success in terms of promotions or promotion challenges
Hasselbaink? - Too early in his career, how much of what he is doing is down to Rowett. If he's still doing it in 12-18 months he will rightly progress up the ladder
Richard Money -No thanks, don't think he would bring a good style to watch
Ainsworth - No idea on the quality of football or circumstances of his job at Wycombe but from the outside looking in, I've been really impressed with the job he has done at Wycombe.
Jones - Would be a solid appointment but not too keen on him

My choices from preferred to least preferred
Rosler
Adkins
Ainsworth
Mowbray
Jones
Hasselbaink
Beattie
Money

Nice work but you assume GA is Ainsworth, not Alexander or Abbott.

In which article does it say that? The only one I can find is the one where they're looking at the top 6 in the betting? Surely the club couldn't tell the CT who was being interviewed?

I still think Rossler and Atkins wouldn't touch us with a barge pole. Whoever comes in is going to have to work within the constraints of the club and be willing and able to nurture and bring academy talent through whilst getting the best out of the senior players.

I'd have money higher than beatie and hasselbaink, I think with the big club mentality and expectations our fans have, you need an experienced and/or strong head to lead.

Given I don't think Atkins and Rossler would come, Mowbray and Jones are the pick of the rest, followed by Money.

They all have pro's and con's.

Yes that's what meant who the CET is saying are the managers in the last 8 and what we think is their strengths and weaknesses

I hope you are wrong regarding Rosler but if were him I would not be that stupid to be fair, so unfortunately yet again you are probably right

I think Mowbray and Jones would still be relatively solid appointments, I think we've got a decent chance on Rosler as he may be viewed by some as a failure in his only championship job. I agree we have little chance of Adkins.

I don't understand all this for Rosler. Had a good budget at Brentford, his successor did better. Went to Wigan and failed.

So he's Flavour of the Month.

I'd rather have a guaranteed long term track record given where we are, rather than someone where the jury is still out.

The quality of manager we get may reflect whatever they have been told by the owners. If we were to get Adkins/Mowbray/Rosler you get the impression they are not going to come unless they have something to work with.

Mowbray, Rossler, Adkins, Jones all decent shouts to be honest, experienced, have a measure of success and in this division, well I think Mowbray has, but if any of them are serious options for Waggot then there has to be a massive change of policy from the sisu puppets Waggot and Fisher, can't see that happening somehow. I can't see experianced old type manager accepting this short term contract backed by loans and inexperienced kids being acceptable. Of the others listed Warburton seems the best bet although I find his position at Brentford strange and will he come now ?
