Read somewhere that John De Wolf was an option. He has not managed since 2014 but should be considered for a coaching role by the new manager. He is a highly regarded pundit but could be tempted back to the club. We need someone who can work with the defenders and improve them.

Jas I think you need to forget sentiment after all he suggested Gladon and that hasn't turned out well so far.
We need to be realistic we are in a poor position and could do with experience I've gone t a feeling it will be McDermott not mentioned yet but still out there.

Darbowolf. I'm not suggesting De Wolf as manager or head coach. I'm suggesting him as a defensive coach to work under the new manager.

Also, we can't really judge Gladon after 1 game played for us.

The more I think about it and read about him, I wouldn't be dissappointed if Rob Edwards was given the chance.

From what Coady has said in the E&S, he plays pressing determined football, Sounds like the players will give their everything for him. let's see what the performance is like this afternoon but if he does well in the next 2 games I will have no qualms him being the man.

Why has nobody thought about Chris Houghton?

Let's see how they get on today and I think Thelwell will be taking his time on this one. For the first time he could be held directly responsible for this decision.
One thing is we could do with a win today and probably won't get an easier chance.

Stuu I remember the players talkin terry Conor up, look what happened, of course coady and others want a mate in charge! Be very uninspiring if that was Fosuns decision.

Sometimes in life the answer is right under your nose! Edwards probably has two games anyway, then the international break, so let's see. If we win those games he could make a good caretaker coach until Big Sam is ready in January, if Sam's interested in the Wolves job. We should know by then if he's facing disciplinary proceedings.

I definitely wouldn't rule out Edwards for the permanent job either. The likes of Eddie Howe had to start somewhere, and Edwards knows the club inside out. Unlike Zenga, he is fully aware of our youngsters.

I see what your saying Paul. I think Connor is different because it's obvious he's not a manager, where as Edwards could eventually make it as a manager. I'd prefer big Sam. But wouldn't be hugely disappointed if Edwards Pearson Pearce AVB ect got the job. I do think there are a few options out there.

Yes, Edwards is a good stopgap, perhaps even more. As long as the Board or Thewell do not have a knee jerk reaction Since MM we've put up with three such reactions, four including Connor. We cannot afford another bad decision following the disaster that was Zenga. The names being put forward have rarely, if ever been successes, so why continue the habit of employing someone who has no real track record. Leave Rob Edwards there - he's certainly as good or better than Lambert, Freedman, Pearson and the rest [apart from Sam] all of whom have never set the footie world alight!
