Just checking out win %s of those in the running according to bookies:

Cotterill - 41.3%
Evans - 43.2%
Pressley - 37.3%
O'Driscoll - 36.1%
Jackett - 43.4%
Venus - N/a
Heath - 45.1% (heavily skewed by MLS stats)
Freedman - 34.3%
Page - 37.4%
Davies - 40.7%
Jones - 40.7%
Saunders - 37.6%
Johnson - 39.8%
Alexander - 42.4%
Adkins - 44%
Sherwood - 42.9%

For me, the three I'd opt for (personal preference only, nothing more) would be Kenny Jackett, Graham Alexander or Nigel Adkins.

none of the above are as good as Mowbray so I cant see what any of them would bring to our squad.

 

[oucho]

Adkins will be above our budget I'd guess. Alexander is top of the league, why would he coem to a club that's bottom of the league?

Jackett yes. He did well at Wolves and Swansea in this league and also with QPR as assistant to Holloway - promoted three times from this league. Also probably still local after being at WWFC for 3 years until a couple of months ago.

Still, until our ownership situation changes, we might as well appoint a jacket potato for all the change a manager can really make.

Has Rickets done his coaching badges.
Just saying.

Didn't Jacket have a spell at Milwall with no budget and do well also?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

So you're saying that NONE of the above would do better than winning 7 games from the past 38 league games we've played?

Sorry, I don't buy that.

Pressley now favourite- What the Fuck!!!

Don't worry - If anything this is a positive as the managers job never goes to the "bookies favourite"

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

One reasonable sized bet on a manager changes the odds dramatically especially at our level

And when he fails we can eat him alive, with cheese and beans.

I might have £20 on myself just to see my name in the betting odds!

Pick a manager, start a rumour, put a bet on

PURE CURIOUSITY ONLY but I wonder if Andy Morrell has thrown his hat into the ring?

He might have tried, but unfortunately Sisu have sold the ring.

He missed the ring but did run around a lot

and the hat

 

[Houchens Head]

I met the Pope once. He said "Kiss my ring." I said "Okay. Bend over!"

I would like us to at least consider
Tisdale (Exeter)
Hurst (Grimsby)
Ainsworth (Wycombe)

Out of the list in the OP Jackett and Alexander would be my preference

I would be open to giving Robins another go, TBF.

pretty certain we wont be appointing anyone already in a job.... there is no way we will pay compensation

I dunno, depends on how long they have left on their current contract, how much they currently get paid and how much they would want to be paid to work for us. And how that works out in relation to the contract length and pay demands of the out of contract manager. Compensation all paid upfront, it would be staggered payments

For example (arbitrary figures)
Adkins might want £500k pa,
Tisdale might only want £200k, and Exeter only £100k compo.

When is the draw for the raffle taking place?

Very rarely have I said this but I am with oucho on this one but I can't imagine Sisu agree

 

[shmmeee]

Anyone with a % above 40 I'd take, at least they've shown an ability to win games, but to be honest I haven't followed other teams enough to know. All depends on the remit I guess, are we building long term or getting out the shit or pushing for promotion? Ideally I'd rather take someone up and coming than someone who has been there and done it.

They didn't sell any tickets.

 

[Frankley]

As we're in the world of fantasy managerial appointments and our support has some kind of fixation with ex-players, how about John Aloisi?

He has a great 50% win percentage with his current club and had a reassuringly dismal 20% with his previous one. As we're used to such inconsistency he'll fit right in.

 

[Houchens Head]

What about the manager of Melchester Rovers? That team that Roy used to play for? Is he available?

 

[Samo]

none of the above are as good as Mowbray so I cant see what any of them would bring to our squad.

Thank goodness we've had Mowbray for the last 8 months!

Comparing win % is totally meaningless because they all managed different teams and we are a different team as well.
