Next Manager

[ollyandpatch]

DAVID Flitcroft has heaped praise on Colchester United ahead of tomorrow's showdown between the two promotion rivals.

The Mansfield Town boss is a big admirer of the U's set-up and his counterpart, John McGreal.

Flitcroft says he admires Colchester's philosophy, which places emphasis on providing a clear pathway for their young academy players.

And the former Bury manager is also a fan of U's boss McGreal who is leading his side on a promotion charge, this season.

Flitcroft said: “It will be two good teams coming up against each other.

Got MK promoted 

True, they have a very good budget for league two normally. Seem to struggle in league one however. 

Not saying he's a bad manager far from it but I can't see him managing up north so to speak.

Not sure what highlights you watched as Stevenage only scored one last night

The highlights were the defending. Very solid against their attackers.

Isn’t MK in the midlands? I wouldn’t call it the South.

I agree. 29 games with Chesterfield, 3 wins. Jeez.

Think he’s the worst candidate yet. Please no.

Seems to fit the bill to me.

Thought Mc Greal left Colchester because the owners wanted to go down the development route ?

[Mario]

Think it will be someone like Carsley or the guy from Crewe, Morris ?

[davehartshill]

Done a little digging and found that Carsley was at Blackburn at the same time as David Flitcroft’s brother, Gary. That could be the link? Carsley would be a different but exciting appointment. Highly regarded as a coach and must have loads of contacts in the game with a fantastic knowledge of young players.

Come on Flitters get someone in.

and as a side note, be a spokesman to the fans while you’re at it as the comms could be better.

Since he's been sacked they've gone from play-offs to below us in the table. Good luck to them.

Gary Caldwell gone fron 16/1 to 4/1 surely not

Better <ovf censored> not be!

[Walka003]

Love the idea of Lee Carsley, he will have contacts coming out of his ears and a proven record of developing youth. Don't think he could fit any better with what the club are trying to achieve

This is why long term strategy and Port Vale don't mix.  

Because we can recognise <ovf censored> when we smell it?
