If Hughes gets the boot and, given the choice, who would you have? Realistically.
An Adams type who is a serial promotion winner but with unfancied sides, working with tight budgets doesn't work for us.
Never thought Evans would do a decent job for us. He's failed at every 'big' job he's had. He needs money and an unfashionable team.
Hughes and people of his generation are dinosaurs and are really getting shown up by younger coaches week in week out.
Stuart likes to play possession football and wants to be attacking but it's often pointless possession without progress and his tactics fall into the dinosaur category.
Parky might be available again soon, Wrexham are not dominating as they probably want to. I never minded his style too much to be honest. He's labelled a long ball merchant but he favoured wingers too and that's what gets me off my feet. Reasonable tactically with his own style. I'd like to say he'd never leave us doing nothing, he always tried to affect a game when behind but that Millwall playoff game still sticks in my craw. I doubt he'd come back under Rupp anyway.
Wellens is a no brainer, plays front foot football, lots of goals and entertainment. Generally gets the best out of his strikers.
The Gateshead manager has been talked up recently but he'll probably end up at a more ambitious club. The Cowley brothers haven't had much success recently.
Thoughts?

I wanted Wellens before and still do.
Either way can we just watch some decent, attacking football for once? It’s really not asking much.

I want Williamson from Gateshead. Unlikely, and he’d be mad to come here anyway, but that’s who I’d want.
Chances are we’ll get another failed dinosaur. Colin Wanker?

I don't really pay attention to whose available, but there'll be every possible type of candidate.
What happens in the interviews? I know you don't get the usual 'tell us about a time when you had to deal with multiple deadlines' type questions, but surely they must ask things like 'what sort of football do you want to play?'
And what would Bowyer, Adams and Hughes have said? 'Yeah, I don't want to play any intense attacking based, high press football to get this huge crowd going. Instead I want to play a negative, possession based passing game and stick everyone in the box when we defend a corner when we're 1-0 down with 2 minutes left'
I listed all the dinosaur managers we've had over the last 20 years. No more of these jurassic freaks, and no more managers who happened to find success on a shoestring budget one time them expect them to repeat it here.
I just want someone who can spot those character qualities PP did and at the same time just want to play with a bit of energy, a few players who have some skill to try and take defenders on who can at least try to make things happen in the final third.
PP was a dinosaur, but - he found a setup that worked. And he supplemented it with wing play on both flanks and being absolutely lethal on set pieces.

Not sure whether he'd be interested but Filipe Morais. Every time I hear him speak on the wireless after another insipid performance his thoughts and ideas always seem to mirror mine and he clearly addresses Hughes' failings. Speaks well, is likely a modern thinker and as per Neshead a bit of eye candy for the benders.

It’s all redundant anyway. I’d keep Hughes if it meant losing Rupp.

The one (joint) manager who got us playing a bit was the one who had no track record. Our trouble is we don’t go for people on the way up, we go for the ones on the way down.

McFarland - first job Cherry - first job Dolan - first job (nearly year) Kamara - first job Jewell - first job Parky - third job Four of our last five promotions, plus the nearly year, managed by a novice. Said it before but most managers have one, maybe two good jobs in them. Parky to an extent, and the likes of Warnock are the exception. Appointing a manager who’s achieved promotion twice before is pretty much a nailed on failure. We’ve proved it time after time. Just get in a recently retired pro who’s done his badges and is full of fresh ideas, or try tempt a Cowleys type who’s already done that in non-league. No more ‘big’ names.

I would be happyish with any of these realistic
Leam Richardson Scott Lindsay Cowley Brothers
Unrealistic ones
Wellens Evans
Very Unrealistic
Wilder Nathan Jones
But we all know it will be someone like Bruce or another shit Dinosaur because Sparks will have heard of them. Or alternatively the Featherstone Rovers head coach.

I don’t think Evans is as unrealistic as people thinks, in terms of whether he’s gettable and would come. But there’s not a cat in hells chance Sparks would do it.
Wellens I’d be happy with. Cowley brothers too.

I’d be ok with a young, ‘novice’ coach but only if we bring in a really, really experienced DoF.

When he does go… and it’ll be because Sparks wants a fall guy to appease the mob rather than a measured strategic move… We’ll get the usual bullshit statement about taking our time and ‘getting the right man in’ who ‘fits our vision’ and ‘understands what the club means to the supporters’. Then Sparks will stumble over a speculative email from from Kevin Keegan or some other cunt… y’know because they miss the buzz of a saturday afternoon and the wife wants them out of the house or some shit. And hey presto we have our man

Carbone, some eye candy for the ladies and the benders. Some of our lot were suggesting this after Walsall as a bit of a leftfield appointment. I just worry how he’d fair in the shitpool of league 2. Trying to instill sexy football into a bunch of lower league cloggers would be like Einstein teaching relativity to a room full of spastics. If by some miracle Carbone’s passion and Italian flair married with league 2 grit and shithousery… like one of those weird recipies that shouldn’t work but does… would it be worth a punt? It’s more likely to be a car crash but right now i’d try anything short of new ownership

But I'm reliably told I didn't miss owt.
