Who will be the Vales new manager?

[beasty77]

John Coleman can work on a low budget and he done wonders there.

Some right miserable beggars being mentioned on here. O'Driscoll always sounds like a funeral director. Thank god Cooper isn't available because all he does is whinge. John Coleman has done a superb job at Accy but when he got a chance at Rochdale he was a bit of a disaster. It's a shame Ian Holloway is a crap manager because he's huge entertainment. Last night on the Accy v Wombles game he was talking about Akinfenwa and said, "he had a twin but he ate him."

Smurf has himself to blame, Page for me has been top class, he's been given a 3 year deal, shows belief and stability - Smurf will be defined by this appointment, if it fails, he will be a sitting duck with fans even more so.

 

I hope of course we succeed, would love to see Coleman or the chap at AFC Wimbledon in the hot seat.

I've got feeling Mark Cooper will get the job.

 

please god no!!!!!!!

Could Martin Foyle emerge again?

 

Please no! It was Foyles football that killed my bug for Vale for a good few seasons, it took the appointment of Micky Adams to get me back. I can't go anyway at the minute due to work commitments but I wouldn't be rushing back to see a Foyle team again.

I'm a bit lost here. If Brown is favourite for the job, and smurf has said he will be on the coaching team and will help appointing a new manager, is he going to declare himself as best man for the job?

[valerule4ever]

Brown has played at a few clubs so if he is helping Smurf is it possible he could suggest a former manager or ex teammate, Some of his ex managers I think include the likes of Warnock(unlikely),Kevin Blackwell(was assistant to Warnock), Steve Cotterill, Neil Redfearn. Anybody know if any of his ex teammates are managers/coaches (Chris Morgan I think is?)

Chris Morgan is an interesting name. He is one of Page's best mates I believe and has had some experience managing Sheff Utd's Reserves and coaching at Chesterfield.

I was thinking the same. The wording of the article suggests that Brown will be on the coaching staff/assistant manager but not the actual manager.

 

I'd like to see Adkins with Brown as number 2. Release all of the players offered contracts and have a fresh start.

[Alan Baker]

John Coleman please.

[For Us All]

If we can't get 'Super Gareth Ainsworth' I'd give Browny and Goober a go.

[soothsayer]

Not a bad article.

 

What next for Vale

[Sam Kelly's Left Boot]

Why??

 

Why not?? He's someone who will demand 110%, and he already knows what the current squad are capable of and where we need to strengthen.

 

Much prefer give Brown a crack than some overpaid failer from elsewhere.

 

May be inexperienced but how can you gain experience? By being given a chance.
