ok, I know we have a few threads running on the subject of next manager but here's the flipside thread of that what about a list of managers we don't want thread.
this next appointment has to be the right one, one that will INSPIRE both players and fans alike.

I will kick off this one by saying NO to Neil Redfearn, was not impressed by him yesterday and having looked at his record, well not that impressed by that either. over to you...

What's his record and who's record does state they will be successful at CFC ?

I'd like to think there will be better options than Redfearn Humphreys and Ferdinand. I'd prefer Stuart Gray, jfh and the Lincoln manager

Out of the 4 rumoured candidates

Redfern - did well at Leeds under difficult circumstances but badly at Rotherham.

Holden - would have the fans onside from day 1 but not got a great record in management

Humphreys - knows the club and the players but not sure if that's a good thing. No previous experience

Ferdinand - no managerial experience but previous coach at spurs and DoF at QPR, would have a lot of contacts in the game at the higher level

If we are going to appoint a novice, he's the one to get the fans onside from day one, but I hope we can attract one of the few available managers out there who has a proven, decent track record.

Edinburgh.
Worked his way up from non league, knows the lower divisions and non league and currently out of work. If we are to look at signing non league and premier released starlets he ticks all the boxes.
That's who I would go for.

If only there was another secret Paul Cook style manager out there

pretty much agree, they got it so right with cook and so wrong ever since. in fairness to the selection panel (I assume there will be one this time) it is a really tough call from what is out there and an appointment they simply have to get right. I will get behind the new manager but hope to be able to do it with a genuine sense of excitement and enthusiasm and not the "oh well best get behind them, give them a go" type of feeling

Why would you say no to justin edinburgh?

The unknown is how successful we would have been under cook if he had been given next to nowt to spend

guess we'll never know. We plucked Cook from Accy who had nothing of a budget. DA allowed cooky to assemble a squad that was surely the envy of league 2, cooky obviously thought he'd hit the jackpot and enjoyed the ride until DA put the brakes on and decided it wasn't for him. Yet the summer of 2015 DA allowed DS to bring in players on high wages, so perhaps a bit of give and take back then could have avoided a lot of mess ever since, trouble is I think DA does not negotiate and so simple allowed cook to go.

Yes, Danny Cowley at Lincoln, Paul Cox at Barrow are the sort we should be talking to and should be able to compete for. Both are in the middle of promotion campaigns though and both at pretty well-run clubs with a (proportionately) decent budget. Neil Aspin at Gateshead is another. I suspect Hasselbank might see us as a step too far down. Stuart Gray might fancy it, (doesnt seem to exactly fighting off any better offers), but would his recent history with Wednesday tar him as Dee Dah Mafia in the eyes of some Town fans?

I suspect that any experienced League manager who is On The Up as opposed to Treading Water / In Decline would look at our season and its accompanying backstage ructions and think very very carefully before saying no.

I reckon our best hope lies with chatting up relatively young National League types who are looking for a stepping stone to a 2nd Tier club and can put up with the kind of Upper Management that is currently in place at Town. Chances are though it'll be one of usual old lower league lags and we'll be having this conversation again in 8 months.
