Or maybe Sean Joyce?

Also happy with Geoff Harrop to take over the Managers role. I wonder if he will be applying for the job ? If he gets us a few points in the next few games he could be a popular choice.

No thanks!

Plenty of clubs have regretted rushing to appoint the caretaker manager, the "dead cat bounce effect" doesn't equal long-term success.

Current odds on the Skybet website (the only one that isn't blocked at work...):
Geoff Harrop 3/1
Sean O'Driscoll 5/1
Martin Allen 6/1
Chris Hargreaves 8/1
Gary Megson 10/1
Keith Curle 10/1
Aidy Boothroyd 12/1
Kenny Veysey 12/1
Dean Holdsworth 14/1
Brian Laws 16/1
Kevin Blackwell 16/1
Paul Jewell 16/1
Paul Sturrock 16/1
Chris Kiwomya 20/1
Dean Saunders 20/1
Lee Hodges 20/1
Michael Appleton 20/1
Colin Lee 22/1
Robbie Herrera 25/1
Kevin Nicholson 28/1
Neil Warnock 33/1
Nick Barmby 33/1
Terry Connor 33/1

Hargreaves now in at 2/1 but I suspect that means someone put 50p on him! He's also 1/3 on for Northampton - these lists always make me laugh, Terry Connor at 33/1 - had to google him to find out it's the ex-Wolves no.2!

Dear TUFC Board.

Thank you for getting rid of Knill.

I don't mind who the replacement is, but please look on here first before making the decision - if Andy wants him, don't bother - he wanted Juan in the first place and look where that got us!

Thanks,

Scott

Mine either vinny.

How do you know he is returning next week?

not hargreaves.

Any chance of a Warnock and Hargreaves combination? Would be ideal I reckon

Seen many people Tweet and post regarding who should be the next boss, what's popular it seems is that there should be a player manager, a new young manager with a possible DoF and a duo to take equal responsibilities. In my opinion all of these types of management would be wrong in our current situation. We need someone who knows what he is doing, a strong figure who is honest and realistic. Unfortunately I don't think Hargreaves should take over when our league position I so precarious. I wouldn't want his reputation damaged by a possible relegation to non league.

Not unless Warnock will work for pistachios and Hargreaves for Bombay mix

It's such a hard decision that the board have to make. I have no idea who I would actually like to see as manager or as number two.
