Who will be the Vales new manager?

[PV1973]

I have no idea who it may be. I know I don't fancy us going back to Adams.

 

Whats concerning is that if we want a manager with experience at this level will Smurf be able to afford it? Or do we go with a younger inexperienced manager like Brown for instance?

One thing is for certain, this is an important appointment, one NS has to get right. Personal view would be to go for experience at this level, not so sure NS is willing to provide the finance to do that though.

I fear the worse !! just hope Smurf doesn't do anything rash.

Thats my concern too.

Brown possibly for the future, now he needs to be alongside a Rudge like figure, for me Adkins.

If it is an internal appointment, make it quickly and fund the budget well, and PUSH those season tickets.

 

Micky Adams - as one of his admirers, I still have to say please, no - it will not work though if he did come I would support him wholeheartedly because that is what we all should do. Regardless of how it turned out with Jum Gannon, there was one notable mouthpiece on here who started slating him massively the very day he was announced a s new manager.

 

Nigel Adkins, Paul Ince, etc - Unlikely anyway, but definitely not the right club for a 'bjggish name' that will expect a big budget.

 

Other outside appointment - Neil Warnock would be fantastic but very unlikely, would quite like Sean O'Driscoll and if only we had the money and ambition to get Nigel Pearson but that is totally unrealistic unless the compo was beyond belief. Imagine the buzz that would bring- but no chance really.

 

If it is an outside appointment it is crucial that he brings his own team,(assistant, Harbin-like person etc) as this is what made sure that Jim Gannon failed from Day 1- although he was difficult and made bad decisions anyway, he may have just done a lot better if a number of backroom staff and players with alcohol and other problems had not been undermining him from the start.

I think before we even start to look for a new Manager, the club should be put up for sale once again, as Smurf as proved once again, that he isn't capable of owning, and running a football league club, in the meantime, he should put Brown, and one other in charge of the football side of the club, until such times that the club finds a suitable buyer.

i don't know why everyone is panicking on here and on twitter over the whole page saga. he was nothing special, certainly not the messiah, the atmosphere at vale park under adams and page was quite frankly dire and his total negativity away and sometimes at home was just depressing. we now have a big chance for a fresh start. I would like to see a name or certainly a more experienced manager come in now who isn't matey with the players and will just play whoever is in the squad based on their attitude/ability/form etc.

Mark Hughes will be available soon, I would appoint Michael Brown and if it doesn`t work we could go for Hughes in about November when he is sacked.

We will get the cheapest option available which will be Brown can't see smurf forking out for an experienced manager

Would anybody like a Ainsworth Brown combo the flair of Ainsworth and never say die attitude of Brown

How many League 1 clubs have had their last two managers leave rather than be sacked I wonder?

I would go for Brown or Chris Powell

I'd rather have Brown than some of the usual suspects who crop up when there's a managerial vacancy
