    Alex Neil would be my preferred choice, but unlikely as he’s uk based & probably won’t work for our owners.

    So realistically, Jimmy Thelin, or a gut feeling someone based in France.

    Let's be honest could anybody do any worse 1 win in 15 and that was lucky 7 defeats on the trot.
    To be honest I think even I could fluke one win in 15 just by picking the right players in the right positions and adopting the Brian Clough approach of telling the players to just go out and play football and enjoy it and keep it simple.

    Money….are you sure? Plus he’d be inheriting a lop sided squad in free fall to L1.
    Paul Warne is also Rotherham through and through. Imagine leaving a well run outfit like them and coming to a basket case club like ours. Not going to happen.

    Wild Card entry: Simon Weaver from Harrogate if we can prise him out from under his dad's wing. If nothing else he'd be League 1 ready!

    Whoever it is he needs to be better than Schopp.
    So given that he would inherit a decent squad, that would be err most half decent managers with a bit of tactical nous!

    The bloke who works for them Norwegians who smashed Roma 6-1. I'm sure he'd come to a bottom of the Championship basket case.

    It'll be someone from Sweden imo - Khaled will bring him in. He'll be 23 years old.

    The talk would be about Alexander Blessin from our sister club, KVO.

    However I don’t think it would happen during the season itself, it would mess up another team for the owners. And in some ways, I’m not fully sure how good he is anyway. But he certainly has something about him.

    Sheff Utd we’re heavily linked with him too this summer…..

    We might need someone uk based if overseas coaches won’t be able to bring their assistants with them

    True - I’m aware of that, but was he given permission to talk or not? I believe he wasn’t and also didn’t want to either.

    But you’re forgetting why that might be…..We have the same owners - that makes a big difference. The plan for him might be to develop them come to us eventually.
