The problem is, I personally feel we need a different type of manager to the end of the season compared to what we'll need next season and beyond.
I'm all for the type of manager already suggested in this thread - doing well in the lower leagues. However, I'm not sure a relegation battle is the right time to bring them in. I imagine the plan has been for MM to leave once we were safe, but now that is not a certainty. So, who is available on a short term deal until the end of the season and wouldn't make taking the job knowing it was only until the end of the season? |
We're not going to be changing manager until we're safe. |  |

Ainsworth has done a really good job at Wycombe with no money, he is very much a long ball man though, pump it into the corners.
He's picked up players from reserve sides and improved them. Mawson, Pierre, Scowen all good players. |
All Managers from below the Championship are long ball merchants because thats what the players are capable of. Nobody plays tiki taka in Lg 2. | |

Phil Parkinson would be my choice but we may have missed the boat on him now. |  | | |

Also people talking about "missing the boat" on this name or that are clueless. Ipswich are one of the biggest clubs in the country and MMc is on a massive whack. If we want anyone from outside the Championship Top 6 down we could get them. | |

See my earlier post. Bring a DoF to get us over the line as interim manager. They then take up their permanent post and their first task it to appoint the full time manager. |  |

We already have a Director of Football. MMc says its Taff Evans. | |

Not sure about that. Ipswich are a bottom half of the Championship team with a wage bill that matches. A big salary might attract interest, but any manager with upwardly mobile career aspirations would look at it as a challenge to get us to improve.
Would you join Ipswich over Wolves? Fulham? Norwich? Villa? Bristol City? Derby? Cardiff? All clubs with more resources available and a realistic chance of being able to move forward. |  | | |

None. |
Which suggests it's not likely we'll be appointing a manager from a Championship rival. | |

Poyet & Taricco?
Kuqi & Counago? |
We'd have no chance with Poyet and Taricco now. Manager and assistant manager at Shanghai Shenhua in China, so probably being paid a fortune.
I wouldn't want Poyet anyway, but Taricco to come back in some capacity would be good. |  |

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. |
I know who I'd like - someone who has perhaps coached a top club's reserves or youths, say at Barca or Ajax, who will play good football and has widely respected contacts with players and could bring some of said youth/reserve teamers here on loan.
Someone who can actually COACH his players to pull up trees, play decent, eye-catching football, all without falling into the same traps as have befallen relegated clubs in this league who try and spend their way out of it.
I appreciate this might take some time, especially as said manager would need to get shot of current players who don't fit the mould. He'd also need a fair budget, not overly ambitious perhaps but capable of paying for wages of decent reserves he's identified as being important. I'd much rather see a team of passionate young players who are a bit more technically aware than the current kick'n'rush merchants we seem to indulge here. |  |

Think clough would be good fit for the club.
But with the club and fans relationship so fractured I think a manager with a connection to the club is vital.
Burley, butcher, magreal, magilton, reuser, Venus, |
Holland? He's done his coaching badges.
Mich D'Avray had a great record as a manager in Australia.
A shame Butcher's managerial career has never really taken off, although he did well at Cally Thistle.
I wonder whether Taricco will ever become a manager or is just happy to be Poyet's assistant. |  | | |

I wouldn't be against the idea of bringing in an experienced coach from a top club but I'm not convinced we're set up to make it work. Other teams that have had success with such an approach have had a good structure in place and a chairman who knows football, something we lack. It's asking a lot for a coach - especially a foreign coach - to come in and run the whole footballing side of the club in the way that MM does. | |

Just wish people would stop banging on about the Cowley brothers. I've seen people say that Lincoln play good football yet all I saw in the FA Cup was direct football like we played under Mick in 14/15. They're flavour of the month like Paul Cook was last year when we lost to Portsmouth.
I don't know who I'd go for, I just know I don't trust Evans one bit. |
Lazy comparing the Cowley's to Cook, Cook's had a mixed career, the Cowley's have been remarkably successful at all 3 clubs they've managed. I'm convinced they'll be snapped up by someone this summer, and fairly certain it won't be us.
One of these lower league managers who haven't done that well shouldn't be considered (Cook, Ainsworth etc), considering everyone was sticking their nose up at Rowett who had Burton ripping up trees.
Foreign is our best (and least likely) hope, I'd take Burley or Curbishley happily at this point though rather than roll the dice and see who ME is impressed by... | | | |

I believe that is the level we'll be looking at. Sherwood, Megson or Cotterill if you had to choose? |  |

I really think Milton should be promoted to a more advanced role. I would like BFJ as DOF but wonder if he might be a tad too old now.
Yallop had reasonable success as a manager and I always fancied him but he went off the boil a bit and I don't reckon he would fancy a move back to UK. I'm not one that harps on about someone with an Ipswich connection but if ever there was a case for it it's now - although there really isn't a lot of choice. Mowbray or Butcher wouldn't get us up. Holland would be a massive gamble, Taricco is out of our league. I never thought I would say this and it sounds crazy as I'm typing it but Mick Mills? Or maybe Mills as DOF. |  |

Here's a less obvious choice that NO-ONE has suggested yet - a woman!
If ME liked the Roy Keane publicity then that would trump it! |
Hopefully not this one

How about Micky melon?
Cons: looks like a used car salesman
Pros: would save the club money as he could wear all of MM's old kit |  | | |
