Given the number of new signings, dare I suggest the new man – whoever he is – will be head coach rather than manager? Wasn’t it Pochettino who early last season in a press conference dared Daniel Levy to change his title from manager to head coach as he had no say on transfers last summer?
As for the original post, I was fortunate enough to have a long chat with Nige a few months ago and he told me he’s been pushing for Crosser to get a manager/head coach job for the past year. So, for me at least, the list will go:
1 – Crozzer
2 – Someone young and hungry from non-league such as Barnet’s Darren Currie (although he may well end up at Southend) or possibly Yeovil’s Darren Sarll. Has league experience at Stevenage but with a very, very poor side and has done a good job turning Yeovil around from slipping even further down the non-league pyramid to finish 4th in the Vanarama this season just gone.
A – Slade/Jolley and any of the “usual suspects” who bounce around the League One & Two clubs. Time for fresh blood.
