Now its decided which division we will play in next season if Sisu stay in charge these are the most likely candidates for the managers job.
Thorn- has made some mistakes this year but still cutting his teeth in the roll. Badly let down by our owners in terms of playing staff. If you look at our previous three managers have been experienced, had lots of money to spend on players had bigger squads and only achieved slightly better league positions.
Rioch- Has done tremendous job with the academy bringing through players that have been fast tracked to the first team because of Sisu's financial constraints.
Carsley- Good player and pro two playing stints with Cov and now a coach with the academy.
Summary - My oppinion only and I know it will differ with some on here and is open to debate.
We are not going to have a lot of options, top managers are not going to be queing up to manage Cov in league one so we have to be realistic. I would give Thorn another year we need some consistency and I feel he deserves a second chance and lets see what he has learnt from this season. I would also be happy though if Rioch was given the chance or maybe work along side Thorn with the first team. Rioch has to get all the credit for our current success at academy level. In terms of Carsley if Rioch gets promoted to the first team then he should get promotion within the academy but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the first team untill he has earnt his stripes with the academy any calls for him to be first team coach would be wrong especially promoting over Rioch.
