A very impressive career path so far, starting here of course and spending time with the City Group, who do not employ mugs. He's done very well at MK too. I know they have a bit of a blue print and Martin had started a lot of the good work but he's really got them playing some cracking stuff and they look a very well oiled machine with lesser players than he'd have to work with here.
He fits the model we obviously want to be working with - a coach rather than a traditional manager. He's also got a background in an academy setting and not just any academy setting but ours! He's worked with the likes of Klug/O'Neill previously. Progressing young players through seems to be something of key importance. And whilst being 'Ipswich' isn't a primary requirement for the job, he'd also bring another two good coaches that know the club well too in Wright/Hogg. |  | | |  |

Money isn't even a consideration with these owners. If we want Manning, we will get him. What an opportunity this would be for him. |
Really? We have spent our quota | | | |

And something that really concerns me
We’ve gone for ‘stop gaps’ before… it’s just plastering over cracks
We need a playing ethos and style…. Ingrained across the club
Ashton has only put a myriad of fitness and performance people
HUGE risk here |
Agree - that’s the thing the clubs who are punching above their weight seem to have in common. A playing style that lasts longer than one manager. |  |

Would Manning come back? Would we happily pay MK Dons off for him and his coaching staff? |
If I were him I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole - he's got a great team at MK Dons, great set-up, low pressure, after a year or two there challenging for promotion he'll have a great reputation in the game and will be a target for decent championship teams.
If he comes to an unstable club with really high expectations and immediate pressure, a long recent history of failed managers, it's a roll of the dice with his career that he just doesn't need to take. |  | | |

He has gotten a good tune out of his players this season, but I think he inherited a decent squad from Russell Martin. I'm not sure if he bought Twine etc so I would need some convincing what his ability is with money.
We could do much worse though. Hopefully we have an adaptive manager with a horses for courses attitude and not a manager who tries to fit players into his model of play. |  | | |

We can spend whatever we like on a new manager. | | | |

I think we need to get used to a manager having little say in transfers - that seems to be the route we are going down. | | | |

Of course he would come him the wages his on do would probably double.
My biggest concern is , is it Manning or is it the way Russell Martin got them playing before he left and his carried it on that's my concern. | | | |
