I like the person spec and suggested managers - are they available / would they come?The ideal candidate in my eyes needs to have at least 8 years in management, experienced relegation dog fights, and succeeded in survival, and enjoyed good campaigns ideally promotions.
Experience in the lower leagues and understands the level, what it takes to win and the type of player, and style of football to win games and grind results out. Ugly football if you like.
It has to be a man who's built sides, not inherited steady teams but created something from nothing.
Experience in the transfer market, wheeler dealing, frees and loans.
This is the size of the task ahead, in the summer the new man needs to assemble a core side of men, experienced players and obviously will supplement with youth loans to give that sparkle.
This is not a job for a new rookie manager/coach. Experienced campaigned battle hardened manager is a minimum, a Russel Slade, Peter Taylor, Nigel Adkins, Greg Abbot type.

Peter Taylor - not the one with cloughie?
Sorry, did google after posting, but phone didn't allow me to type a reply....The names I quoted are all available currently, just Russell Slade who I'm told is not contractually available till January. He's my man.... just cannot wait that long tho I fear. He's rescued every club he's been ask to.
As for Peter Taylor the ghost of him could do this job, the one I referred to is the man who took Hull city through the leagues, managed Leicester briefly, Brighton, Crystal Palace Wycombe, Gillingham
But not THAT desperate (him I mean).We are desperate and he is desperate to get back to work. Roy Hodgson.
It does not matter what experience a manager has before joining us, nothing will prepare him for what he will find at CCFC.The ideal candidate in my eyes needs to have at least 8 years in management, experienced relegation dog fights, and succeeded in survival, and enjoyed good campaigns ideally promotions.

The experience angle is important, but bar Slade is there any other available and/or potentially interested managers with experience in the right area i.e. lower leagues with no budget.
For that reason, my preference is a L2/Conference Manager who knows the lower leagues and therefore the players available and systems to use. As above, ideally they are experienced, but if not I'd take a young, hungry manager with those credentials.
A Manager who's rich enough to buy his own player's , because Sisu are not going to buy player's good enough to get out of league one . :greedy:Firstly, whilst we may disagree on the best ccfc manager (partly due to age) and whether they could cope with the modern game / life in league one / present owners/squad... (I think Bobby Gould would do well, I'm sure my dad would say the great JH).
Every sky blue fan now wants an experienced (ideally a few years in lg 1/2 and championship - in successful relegation battles and promotion (title?) successes), who has multiple contacts to acquire some players, charisma to charm all fans, possibility of being a player manager (Roy of the Rovers), and the backing (in £ms preferably!) from the board as our next manager. The reality is beggars can't be choosers...
Before anyone says we have options, yes, i agree some managers are out of work and coming here is a free hit (failure can be linked to position you arrived), so we will have a field of candidates.
Having seen an assortment of names over the past few weeks, who range from exciting, worrying to never heard of or are they still around... I think I will be happy with someone who comes in and tries to keep the club up, uses a formation that appears to suit the players, signs players who they think will make a difference and gets our young and underperforming team to operate better.
Basically, I'll support (almost!) anyone who is capable, cares and does their best. Surely we can all agree on that?
I'll await cries of lacking ambition...
