Who you want to take over from Brown

[southchurch]

Phil may go before the season ends.
If not (in my opinion) he will go at the end of this season.
So who would you fancy as the next boss.
It has to be a realistic target.


My vote goes to John Still.

If we could get him of course.

Would love to see a trio of Devonshire,Maher and Bazza.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Jurgen Klopp.

 

[markw]

Pellegrini might be out of a job soon...

 

[RHB]

Darren Ferguson

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Barry Corr.

I did say , has to be a realistic target , or we just get all these silly ones. (no offence)
Which aren't funny (little bit of offence)

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Danny Cowley

If it is before the end of the season then it has to be someone already at the club, so I would go for Barratt and Duncan and see how they get on.

 

[AndyT]

Tilly, AB and Maher.

I think Ron Martin likes to go for someone with a track record. I think the Brentford guy, Warburton, would be good but I think he will have few offers

Alan Little

If we get promoted I would imagine we could attract a better class of manager.
Also I don't think Brown will go before the end of the season and miss the chance to lead southend out at Wembley.
His ego would not allow for that. He may come to an understanding with Pompey that he starts there next season though.
Ron will now look to sign him on a long contract so he can get some compo. out of it.

Took control in Essex Senior League 07/08 now just outside Conference South play-offs. That is quite an achievement.

If we are looking at a trio or doubleton of managers, can I ask why people are over looking Coughlan ?

 

[maninasuitcase]

Jurgen Klopp.

I wonder if his nickname at school was Klipperty?

Championship clubs are said to have already approached him. He's a top manager, and he'll be looking far ahead of us I should've thought.

I'd like to see us at least try and persuade Neil Redfearn if he jacks it in at Leeds. Used to dealing with - shall we say, troublesome? - chairmen and has done an excellent job of marrying the youth development and senior programmes at Leeds, something which would be highly sought after here. Our desire to imminently attain Cat2 EPPP status might endear ourselves to him, but I suspect, much like Warburton, he won't be without offers should he decide he's had enough of that northern circus.

Martin likes a manager with a profile. I'd love for us to go for someone as progressive as Redfearn, but we'll end up with some jovial, soundbite generating tit like Martin Allen or Holloway, and we'll repeat our current cycle for another two/three seasons.

Lee Bradbury. If PB goes to Portsmouth, where Bradbury had been previously overlooked, then Lee could do the job for us. Doing a nice job with The Hawks at the moment.

I couldn't agree more.
