Surely we are all agreed that it's time for a new boss (if you don't think that, PM me your phone number and I'll call the nurses for you). This run reminds me of Shaw's time "in charge" .

We need some one who
- knows the league and how to get out of it
- is an experienced motivator who can grind out ugly wins and mould us into a physical, direct attacking force.
- clearly the bloke needs to be available rather than with a club as SISU won't want to pay compo

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Unfortunately the cupboard seems bare in terms of great options...I wonder if Dave Jones would come to us but then perhaps he's been out of the game for a bit too long.

It's actually the same as when that sisu worshiping Wanker thorn was in charge. Someone you used to brown nose around all the time. Venus is as much a sisu worshipper as thorn.
He needs to be hounded out by the fans so we don't fall into the same trap again.
Russell Slade anyway.

Slade is a good shout but then the perennial question arises...would he come here?

The likes of Billy Davies and Jim Magilton are available but neither has managed in this league.

To be honest I don't see long term how it's going to make any difference who the manager is. I was lambasted last time we were looking for saying exactly that. Mowbray came in, did enough to keep us up, signed full time, got flaunted by some as a premier league quality manager, something I got lambasted for questioning, he had a purple patch and then with the same players had a period of falling short. The truth is nothing long term is going to change under SISU. This is the cycle THEY, THEY and THEY alone have us in and ultimately its a downward cycle.

SISU need to go, it's as simple as that. New owners come in. They don't have to be gazillionairs, just competent and ambitious. I don't doubt that if we had owners who could at least demonstrate those two qualities fans would come flooding back boosting our finances and that would be a good start on the road to recovery.

No point getting a decent manager in till then as ultimately they're going to fail.

Its not gonna happen but I would like us to go for someone in a job, who knows the lower leagues and is used to working in basketcase clubs on a shoestring.. Cotterill did well at bristol but had the one of yhr biggest budgets in the league. Martin Allen would be a good shout.

We were told that we would be looking at the free transfer market to strengthen the squad after the window closed.

Since then, we have saved the wages of the manager and saved the wages of our top earner. Still no-one coming in to help these youngsters.

Plenty about who would be better than Venus.

25th November 1961 - CCFC 1 King's Lynn 2 - knocked out of the FA cup and with the club at an all time low, our chairman Derrick Robins makes the bold decision to appoint the great Jimmy Hill as manager. The board give Hill the funds to buy a brand new forward line. The roller-coaster of successive promotions, record attendances and attacking football takes us through the divisions and into the top flight. Manager, board, players, fans and the City of Coventry all united. This is the club I grew up with as a school child.

55 years later.....

26th November 2016 - CCFC 1 MK Dons 2 - well we're back in the relegation zone in the 3rd tier of the football league. Our chairman is Tim Fisher! Our only other board member is acting manager Mark Venus. We've never really known who owns the club. Does anyone really believe that yet another manager can achieve success without investment in the squad? (And I'm sorry to say that by 'success' I mean 'avoiding relegation' to the bottom tier!) I reckon you could put Pep Guardiola in charge and we'd still struggle.

oucho - you can call the nurses for me now ;)

What we need is somebody who has managed at this level. Someone who knows what it takes to win games in this league.

Slade's last three jobs have been:-
Leyton Orient
Cardiff
Charlton

It's not as if he's frightened of taking over at a club whose owners have a poor reputation
I was more thinking that we wouldn't be able to offer him enough money

Trump.......He'd build a wall and our defensive stats would improve immensely.

Edit - I'm not pro Trump BTW!

Mark Robins for me, think he'd do a good job (as he did last time, though no one to score the goals like McGoldrick did this time around)

There must be a final outcome for the club just nobody knows a new manager wont be able to help, most of the players must of been acquired from a Black Friday, we really have enough.

Their are plenty of out of work managers who would come to the club. The problem is their out of work for a reason and if your offered the job you take the money and the flack as you walk into it knowing your hamstrung already. The good managers will see the writing on the wall like Mowbrey did and walk with some pride intact, your a long time on the dole if your last job is a bad one, look at the likes of Curbishley. If some one comes in they have no money and a worse than average light weight squad. lets be realistic about it would you take the job if you were not a fan. Its no wonder mercensries like Evans are being linked.
