Next manager - who would you choose?

[1977Valiant]

As lots of managers names are getting banded around with the vale managers job at the moment, if you could have any of the ones who are currently on the bookies list who would it be?

 

From the list I be happy with any of Steve Cotterill, Nigel Adkins, Kenny Jackett or Billy Davies.

 

All have good experience and have previously managed at our level or above.

 

Hopefully Smurf may see the poll and take note instead of blindly appointing another disaster!

Michael brown.

Dont be to sure Nick....a few days ago might be correct BUT things can change quickly

Bet victor have J.F. Hasselbaink as stand alone 6/4 FAV tonight......

It will be Michael Brown

[sandyford_valiant]

It's Michael Browns to lose put it that way. If we lose to MK and Bury and then he may be in trouble.

 

He's the cheap option and smurf will still be able to pull the strings with Brown.

 

So him and Brown will be happy.

It makes me smile a bit, no ex-players. Who has our current manager Brown been playing for the last few years?

The fact that he's been playing for port vale for the last few years would indicate he's not an EX player.

Yes to Adkins, Jackett, Cotterill,

Keith Hill / John Coleman / Gareth Ainsworth I could understand and would pleased with but doubt we'd pay compo for them,

Billy Davies or Chris Powell would be okay with,

Brown I liked as a player but not sure he is what we need right now but would be happy to be proved wrong, personally feel we need an old head to put this mess right,

Hasselbaink I'm unsure on, he would lift the clubs profile and have good contacts and did well at Burton carrying on Rowett's good work but would he be off at the first chance if he's doing well.

Mixu,Saunders,Dickov,Ronnie Moore,Steve Davis would be a definite no for me.

 

I'm expecting Brown to get it though or alternatively it will be a complete letdown or unknown quantity.

If Smurf decides to appoint the next manager from the leader of this poll and it goes pear shaped, who can we blame then ?

[blackdog]

At the end of the day Smurf will only employ someone he can control and who is cheap.

 

Don't get excited by JFH, Adkins et al, it will be Brown or someone so left field as to be unbelievable.

I agree with every word of that, though I would also add Brian McDermott to the Yes list.

 

Cotterill is my preferred choice.

[Class personified]

It's Brown's to lose. Get 6 points out of the next 9 and he won't be shifted.
