So somewhat cryptically we have it that an ex Charlton player could be our man. Powell, Bowyer or Hudson are the ones we’ve seen mentioned. Technically Chris Wilder was too. Anyone else or have I read too much into the comment by Valliantphil ?

Very left field but Andy Hughes has been on the coaching staff at a fair few championship sides.

I notice Michael Beale is under pressure at Rangers already. Fans are calling for his resignation after being humiliated by, er, a 1-0 defeat to Celtic. Wow, what an appalling result. Embarrassing. 🙄

Anyway, he’s a name people usually mention as a potential manager for us. Maybe he’ll be available sooner than expected?

Being knocked out of Europe won’t help as well as their end to last season.

Was he just suggesting we’ll stick with Pearce a bit longer than expected?

Well Hudson has just about the worst managerial record of anyone mentioned, including the Cowleys and Appleton, so that would be a shocker of the highest order. I very much the new owners/Scott would make a decision that brazen.

Beale is totally out of our league.

Well, he's back in East London now.....














Oh, sorry ! Thought you meant Ian !

Who is R.Moore on the other side?

Bexley Boy. Also posted on here as Colin. 

And he was posting on there a many years before 2021

I've never understood why people get so worked up over Ronnie Moore's posts..

I just ignore him  it's pretty simple really 

It can’t be that simple or people wouldn’t get so worked up?

Sounds like an R.D. Laing knot.

Any plans to help Ronnie Moore are totally misguided. He is an effing idiot who deliberately posts controversial views. 
He has openly posted on ITTV forum that he comes on here to wind people up. Ignore. 

If true then I’d be reaching for the mute button if there was one.

It's true, he posts as Bexleyboy on ittv

Do we know for sure that Chris Powell turned the role down “because of the plan”. Where’s that bit come from ? I’d have thought it more likely he wasn’t interested because he’s already got the tee shirt and probably after his associations with England and Spurs can have some very attractive coaching options without the hassle of tin pot club management. 

I'd think there are more than a few Charlton people with a direct line to Powell 

You have to believe in the plan for sure but Chris Powell is in a far more stable job than was being offered, pretty good chance he would be number 18 in 18 and looking for work again. 

Is he in current employment?

I thought he was still involved in the England coaching staff Shooters, I could be wrong though. 

Powell has definitely left the England coaching staff. He was replaced by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink a few months ago.

We're told Powell has declined an offer though. That's no critisism of him, but as he won't be our next manager, who will be is the question.

We need a no nonsense dynamic man motivator with bags of experience in L1 who will inspire the team to over achieve. We need a man for all seasons and not just part of one, someone who, at the very mention of their name, will have fans reaching for their wallets and purses desperate to make sure they don't miss out on our reemergence in the upper echelons of the league as he steers us on a one way journey back to fame and glory.

Can someone, anyone, seriously tell me that that man doesn't go by the name of Michael Appleton?

This this is the next manager thread. Not the Ronnie Moore thread. 

Ronnie pass the bucket Moore is 70 years old and Eastleigh will be his first manager's job for 7 years.
He only ever works "grim up North" so by coming down to Hants he can meet up with his fellow Merseysider Nigel Adkins and go on lovely walks in the countryside.

Ronnie Moore as an Ex Charlton player is hoping to be on the shortlist next season (autumn) when Charlton are looking for a new manager again 🙄

Boy does this thread need a rumour 

Shall we start a Will Still bandwagon? He was all the craze last year. Knows how to be a 'Football Manager' inside out...

Transfer window closed. Technical Director now freed up to get the new manager. No doubt there is a short list and everyone on it contacted and initial discussions already started. No doubt we’ve already been turned down by some. Others will be very keen. I think we’ll hear something by Friday although if the man is already in employment it might take longer to conclude.
