And would rather gamble on somebody completely untried?

A good player does not necessarily make a good manager. Just because Hargreaves (if that's who you are hinting at?) was a bit of a cult hero as a player, it's not reason enough to hand him the managers position.

Dave Caldwell!

With a retained list to sort and a manager and his assistant in situ (don't know where this leaves Taylor) I am looking forward to another instalment of . . . . .


KNILL and BEN (Chris Brass) the BRISTOW men.

Good, Argyle have invited Sheridan to be their permanent manager, he would most likely not want Warnock in a D.O.F. role at the club.

Nowt wrong wi' farm grown organic.

And real ale when windfalls are in short supply.

I find it incredible how deluded people can be when stating preference for a new manager. When Ling went off sick, some were calling for Nigel Adkins and now people think we have a chance of Neil Warnock. He pretty much inferred that, as much as he is fond of TUFC, Plymouth are the club he would believe to work at. Can't see him coming here and I'm pretty sure it's a fait accompli for Alan Knill to get the post anyway.

I'd imagine that if Adkins was mentioned, it was only in jest. I think Warnock is unlikely but plausible if Plymouth weren't interested. If it did happen, then Keith Curle would be a good man to come in as 'Head Coach'. They've worked together at Palace and QPR, where Curle was highly respected as a coach. His early management career wasn't great but he was doing a reasonable job at Notts County, working under a certain DOF.

My choice would be John Coleman but as mentioned above, he's surely heading back to Accrington. There aren't many other decent options about.. Gary Waddock would be ok but Knill's might be our best option.
