Get adams back, or A N Other?

[Mattholl]

Available or with a club but surely within our range-

 

Neil Adams (ex Norwich) locally born not huge experience but has been at a big club setup for some time before being manager

Gareth Ainsworth bags of league 2 experience, steadying the ship and progressing it

Martin Allen purely because id love to see him and Smurf go head to head

Kevin Blackwell experience at a number of setups in L1 L2 and Champ

Aidy Boothroyd currently working for FA so might be an option might not be#

Paul Buckle sorted out Torquay and got them back in the league

John Coleman obvious reasons

Steve Cotterill obvious reasons

Paolo Di Canio great publicity (positive or negative raises the profile) and has a fire in his belly

Dougie Freedman experience managing big clubs

Stuart Gray done a lot of ship steadying for Portsmouth, Sheff Wed, Southampton etc..

Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink- great publicity (positive or negative raises the profile) and has a fire in his belly

Chris Hutchings- not flash but experience as a manager with similar size clubs as Vale

Paul Ince-great publicity (positive or negative raises the profile) and has a fire in his belly

Brian Laws- been out of game a while though

Martin Ling- out of theg ame two years, experience at this level

Brian Mcdermott- Not got a new job for almost 2 years

Sean Odriscoll- experience across the board

Dave Penny- Few years out of the game but bags of experience

Chris Powell- 4 seasons under his belt with Charlton and Huddersfield

Steven Pressley- out of the game for a season experience at higher level than us

Neil Redfern- experienced in the game and with a couple of clubs

Dean Saunders- experienced not perhaps got much results

Andy Scott- Got promoted with Brentford 5 years management experience

Paul Sturrock- bags of experience not that exciting but steadys the ship

Gary Waddock- Aldershot manager laods of experience

Graham Westley- no club and bags of experience

Danny Wilson- not exciting but steady manager

Neil Worthington- managed internationally and at championship level. Few years out of the game now

 

 

this is excluding ex vale managers- loads of experience out there to steady the ship and progress the team some not that flash and some who haven't set the world on fire. the majority are better than Browns hazard approach.

[Biddulph_PV]

I think Cotterill or Danny Wilson are the only ones I'd take of that list.

[Mattholl]

Id go with any of-

 

Ainsworth, Cotterill, Westley, Scott, Hasselbiank or Di Canio

[blackdog]

Anybody who thinks that Smurthwaite will dismiss Brown,Morgan and Kelly is living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

Even though Smuthwaite reckons he has taken a back seat,nothing but nothing will alter until he leaves,he is the root cause of all the problems,and he certainly wont fund any dismissals.

[Stevie lad]

We can talk about day about managers, but lets get real nothing will be done until its too late, its typical vale. Like 6 wins in 28 games and 5 in 24 last season and what do we? reward him with a two year deal.

[SuperValiant1876]

While he resigned due to the untenable run of poor performances, I would be extremely surprised if escaping from NS wasn't a big factor in pushing him over the edge.

 

To that end I'm very much looking forward to his autobiography coming out a month on Thursday....

 

And if he mentions nothing of the sort? Will you accept that it had nothing to do with him? I will be happy to admit that I was wrong if it transpires Norm was the reason Micky left but from what I have heard from those I know at the club Norman barely spoke to the manager or the players during that time. He very much took a back seat.

 

Either way its highly unlikely Micky would come back but we need someone of his ilk to get us going again, someone who works well under limitations and someone who will get the best out of these players. Brown is a coach at best, if he stays we are going to struggle massively this season. Only the fact there is a couple of awful sides in the division will be the reason we keep our league status without change on the bench.

[JOHNNYAITCH]

I can't see NS shelling out enough moolah for any of those being put forward and most if not all of them aren't desperate for cash.Garlick would need to unearth an unproven gem.

[werstayinup]

Look where we have gone since he left

 

Where has he gone since he left?

[SuperValiant1876]

Where has he gone since he left?

 

See my previous answer to that question. He's proved he can do it here who cares what he's done elsewhere

Long list but only a handful I think suitable.

 

Ainsworth is the standout in my opinion and said so for quite a while but can't help feeling that it's the very top i.e Smurf who needs to go first.

Why the fixation with former players and managers, get a new broom in with no connections to the club. I would like to see John Coleman.

[londonvale]

Aside from the "new manager" debate..I find it disheartening when Mr Adams is slagged off by some..Im not great at stats but isn't he the manager with best win ratio??...Rudge is legend...hero..no doubt..but give Adams a break..(No don't want him back..nor rudge.. .ainsworth...aspin...horton..)

We.

Have.

No.

Money.

You are so naive.

You even think we have a top end league 2 budget.

You're deluded.

When you get in the real world with where we are and the owner who is sending your football club out of the football league then come back to me.

[Spunk Trumpet]

Where is the money coming from for paying Brown and co off and employing a new manager?

I'd love to know.

The players we sign are on peanuts.

Our management team are probably on peanuts.

Our physios are young kids on peanuts.

Smurthwaite says we will have to fend for ourselves this season. Fair enough.

Sadly for us he has duped fans into telling them it's out of his sweetie jar, when infact he wants it all back.

We are in a huge mess.

[Smugsy]

Some of the names on this thread are laugh out loud funny because there is no chance in hell there'll be manager. I don't think Brown will walk. He knows this is his chance so if he walks, he won't get another manager's job in the league for years to come. Smurf won't sack him because it costs money. If (I don't think he will but let's play along) he does sack him, he won't pay compensation to another club because it costs money and why would the likes of Ainsworth walk away from a team in the same division, to a worse situation with a trigger happy chairman with no money. So we're left with managers not good enough to hold down a job or our usual route of the first time manager. Wouldn't put it past us to appoint Tom Pope as player manager at this stage because of his proven track record at Sunday League.
