Managerial merry-go-round

[Playa Amodores]

Ian Foster linked with the Argyle job. Ex England U20 coach currently assistant to Gerrard in Saudi. Good to see the English game can tempt some ppl back. It’s not just about the money

I read Giggs linked with the Bradford job, with his financial interest in Salford surely this will be a conflict of interest and the FA wouldn’t allow it.

Either Colchester have some sausage and mash, the Cowleys stock has fallen off a cliff or they weren’t as expensive as perhaps we thought they were.

One slight other one Adam Murray who helped here while DC was away from the club and became his assistant at Cheltenham has got himself another managers job at Eastbourne Borough in the sixth tier. Thought he was a pretty decent coach tbh.

Wonder what’s happened there! 

Very quick turnaround after 2 months at Cheltenham as DCs number 2 and was very highly thought of whilst here.

It was not a pop at you by the way.

Just wondering why look at something that does not interest you and then make a comment towards it

Because on a forum, he has every right to. He doesn't have to explain to you or anyone else

Former Vale striker Martin Paterson takes charge at Burton for his first managerial role. Was assistant at Barnsley and Swansea under Michael Duff. Risky appointment that.

He was terrible during his time with us.

It is much simpler than that.  Danny Cowley turned down Bradford City for family reasons.  He has had his share of travelling up and down motorways for work.  He is an Essex boy, his family are all from Essex and Colchester perfectly suits both he and his brother for family reasons.  They can both live at home and drive in to work each day.  Just like Connor Hall chose to do.

Their training facility is top class much higher standard than many others at that level.  The stadium, although derided by people who remember Layer Road fondly, has great views all round.  The hospitality boxes are top class and the car parking, with park and ride, are really well situated just off the A12.

 I think the challenge appeals to him.  Colchester really have potential, Phil Parkinson took them up to the Championship and I think the project also appeals to the Cowley brothers.

I am sure Colchester had to pay a decent wedge but less that he could have earned elsewhere.

I don't mean to write the man off but that's got the Potential to be one of the worst appointments in history. 

What is it with league club hiring ex players with next to no experience lately? 

I get they have to start somewhere but that's way too much of a risk especially when your fighting relegation. 

Scott brown 

Matthew Etherington

Paul Scholes 

All ended up terrible. And I'd be surprised if Charlie Adam lasts long at his current role

If he turned up for the interview at Burton that's more enthusiasm then he showed in his time here. Awful signing, up (or down) there with Anton Forrester.

Paterson has spent the last five-and-a-half years coaching at moved into coaching with Tampa Bay Rowdies, Fort Lauderdale, Inter Miami, Barnsley and Swansea City. I don't know what they've seen on him, but managers have to be given a first job somewhere. Burton have a history of giving excellent managers their first big job.

Having said that, not a name I ever expected to go into management and it wouldn't be a surprise if it doesn't go well.

Another manager done at Swindon. Parted company with Michael Flynn this morning. Who’d have thought one shootout loss to us could have broken them so much. How sad for them 🤣
