...we need a decent "coach" backed up by a decent coaching team.
We need someone who can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition and set us up to counteract the strengths and expose the weaknesses.
We need someone that can set us up differently depending on the opposition.
We need someone that can adapt quickly "in game" to take into account how the game is progressing.
We need someone that can surprise the opposition with a tactical change or a change of formation.
We are so easy to play against.
We don't need "a motivator", we don't need a cheerleader, we don't need someone with "contacts", we don't need "good training drills", we don't need a good PR man,
Football has moved on, we need to. |  |

By all accounts a head coach is part of the new structure which is refreshing (when the change does eventually happen....)
Reading your description below, would Paul Warne be someone to consider? I know Rotherham haven't pulled up any trees in the championship but then they have had limited resources.
No more Paul's and all that though..... |  | | |

As posted elsewhere we need the management/coaching TEAM. Cook + Richardson |  |

....personally I'd ideally be looking at someone from within a current set up above our level.
An U23 coach/reserve coach learning from a top level coach is probably what we should be thinking.
Ashton and his team can take care of all the "traditional" stuff, let the coach concentrate on coaching. | |

Maybe I should have said needed instead of need. | |

It will be Nigel Pearson once Bristol City get around to sacking him. |  | | |

'An U23 coach/reserve coach learning from a top level coach'.
You mean someone like Franny Jeffers was at Everton?
You see - it's not that easy... [Post edited 24 Nov 2021 10:25]

...to select the next manager, I'd hope Ashton has more idea than I do.
Although to counteract your argument Jeffers may well be a top level coach in the making, I expect that currently he's just doing whatever his boss tells him. | |

Spot on. Our inability to change the pattern of a game, surprise the opposition and Cook's inflexibility is killing us this season.
Even when we are in control of games, like Sunderland, we don't seem to be able to tweek it enough to turn the possession into goals. |  |

Cook very much looks like an Evans era appointment, he manages like the worst of them did too. Really strange that the kitman from Wigan and an ex-player with no coaching experience are adding so little. |  |

It feels like Cook the wrong manager for the strusture in place - and that he was left in position as a promotion expert and 'gun for hire' to get us to the next phase quickly before we can enact the longer term part of the plan
Unfortunately the gun for hire is firing blanks, so we need to expedite his removal and replacement.
A few names to keep an eye on - Michael Appleton the obvious one, but Ian Burchnall is another although probably too early for him, but he's well liked by the new setup |  |

Indeed. The most important appointment in the project is the manager/ coach who will get us from the Championship to the Premier League.
That was never going to be Cook.
I suspect the thinking was that as he was in situ and had a decent CV at this level he couldn't fail to get us up with the funds that were going to be spent.
As soon as it looks unlikely that we'll make the play-offs he'll be gone. |  | | |

Honestly wonder how difference getting McGreal on a short term contract would have helped us defensively, so many goals we have been conceding could have been so prevented with just a little bit of defensive nouse it’s incredible. | | | |
