Although it would be a drop down to League 2 ,I did wonder if Southend might be a possibility if they parted company with Phil Brown.
Na to low for someone like him, he deserves at least a lower league championship league, poor start to the season for Brentford and I could see him going there maybe

League one atleast
You've got that wrong. I was sad to see him go.The reason I mentioned the Shrimpers as a possibility was because he was a popular ex player there . Indeed he played more times for Southend than Charlton.

I think SCP will have to drop back down to League 1 for a club, one that is looking to get promoted, i can see him end up at somewhere like Milton Keynes(hope not though).

Ok.
But he must have reason to believe he's better than league 2 surely.
Seen as he won league 1 title a couple of years ago.
I see what you mean he might want to build a club up from a lower league and put his full emphasis into it.

I still have big love for SCP but if he went there that would fade fast
Brentford's a decent shout. If QPR failed to go up he would've been a shoe in for them. Looks like he's going to have to wait til about october time for a new job.

It depends on opportunities that are available . I remember seeing Aidy Bothroyd and Phil Brown saying on the Footballers Football show on Sky that sometimes you have to take a step down to ultimately move forward because opportunities are rare. Remember these two have both managed in the Premier League and last year plied their trade in League 2 . Martin Allen has gone back to Barnet in the Conference having taken Gillingham up to league 1 with record points less than 12 months earlier.
Southend is a club close to SCP's heart and it could be available soon because I suspect Brown would have been expected to take them up.

I would think he'd be able to get a championship job.
About half of the managers in the 92 clubs will have been sacked/moved elsewhere in the next 6-9 months if last season is anything to go by. He will find something at our level.
A london club with ambition in the championship/league one would suit him well. He might go north I guess as he did with Leicster.
The blackpools/boros/ipsh*ts of this world need a boost with a loyal decent manager. Chris Powell is still young learning the trade, he needs the loyalty reflected back at him aswell which simply does not happen in this day and age.

Having completed his UEFA coaching badges, Chris relocates to a small village outside Brugges for some time out and starts coaching a local non-League team while applying for Belgian passport.
After winning the Eddie Mercx Regional Trophy with FC Frite-eaters in some style, Sir Roly Duchatalet hears of this amazing inspirational manager and appoints him as head coach of CAFC who go on to win promotion to the Premiership and become the most successful club in the history of loony ego-maniacs owning football clubs...

I saw an interview with Southgate a couple of weeks ago that said Powell had joined the u17s for a few days, to help out with some coaching ahead of their tournament. Not sure if it was anything more than a 3 or 4 day thing.
I hate to say this but I think he will struggle. He did magnificently with the League One title but it is easy for outsiders to suggest that his achievement was lessened by the team he was able to assemble.
What Riga did with the same players also diminishes, in my view, the reputation that he would, otherwise, have had. The points return from Riga was enough to get 69 points if extrapolated over a 46 game season, which would have had us finish in 9th place. Using the same calculation on the points that Chris achieved would yield 41.4 points, and Doncaster went down with 44.
He was a great, and special, fit with us. I'm not sure there would be the same motivation for a club to employ him as there was for us to.

Let's hope that I'm wrong!
You could say the same about Nigel Adkins, but he got employed again soon enough.
His next move will have a huge bearing on his career IMHO. He could fritter away easily and find 9th in the Champ was the pinnacle of his managerial career or it could be a stepping stone to greater things. Being a football manager is an unpredictable career path.

It's hardly the same though. Adkins took a team that someone else built, won back to back promotions and was in no real danger of going down when he was sacked. He, also, got another job during the same season.
He took over a side almost guaranteed to play in the division he had won promotion with.
Incidentally he didn't keep them up, nor did he get them into the playoffs. I doubt he would walk into a job if he were released of his duties now. In that respect I agree with you. The two managers have a lot in common - they both achieved success with a side that was way too good for the division it was in, because it was assembled with on a big budget, for the division it was in.

Not sure of the age group but that's what he is currently up to
