Who do people fancy?
Manning feels unlikely to jump so early whilst he is doing well at MK Dons. Can't see Ryan Lowe leaving Plymouth RN given their position.
Other than that who inspires?
Seen Reuser mentioned as a left field candidate.
Warnok doesn't fit the philosophy anymore.
Appleton with Lincoln languishing in 18th hasn't achieved much as manager to me and have personally never understood why he is so highly rated.....
Is Yallop a genuine option?
Mcgreal?
Names for the hat please |  |

For me it's all dependent on who selects the new manager.
The owners surely will want someone with a name. Appleton. Manning. Is that really gonna grab the headlines... |  |

No idea, not really seen anything on here about it 
I suspect it'll be someone most of us have never heard of. And I don't really care tbh, as long as they can get us working better as a unit and keep the footie watchable. |  |

I remember when I wanted Maurice Steijn to try his hand before we got Paul Hurst, there was so many back then and we wasted it on a guy who would eventually get sacked by Scunthorpe and get Grimsby relegated to non-league. Now, we don't have a proper name. |  | | |

I don't know why I wanted him tbh maybe it was because tight budgets were his thing? | | | |

No idea why you think we couldn't attract Manning nor Lowe.
I would wonder about Robinson at Oxford but ultimately trust the owners to select better than our last owner did.
Mogga would be fantastic but I honestly cannot see us attracting him from Blackburn. |  |

Yallop hasn't long signed a contract with Monterey Bay, who go into the USL Championship next year. It would need one hell of a pull to move him away from California to the bright lights of Ipswich Waterside.
It won't be Colin, and I'd be furious if it was, moreover if that was the case, yesterdays statement would surely have mentioned a interim manager.
You're dead right about the Americans wanting a name, we could definitely narrow it down by looking for those who are experienced in working as a 'Head Coach' rather than as a manager, I think the last ever manager of Ipswich Town walked out the door yesterday.
For that reason, I think it'll be Lampard, Terry, Coleman potentially. But, the logical option is either Liam Manning or Neil Harris. As Makin says, it depends who picks. [Post edited 5 Dec 2021 15:27]

I think it should be someone senior and experienced for the rest of the season at least, Warnock, maybe Yallop. |  | | |

Because both are doing well at their respective clubs. Do you walk from that mid season to try and drag us up the the table.
That said Lowe stepped down for Plymouth so perhaps. Manning is 6 months into his 1st job and doing well, why upset that?
Not saying they wouldn't come but RN it's not really a step up is it so why move when things are going well where they are. | |

Does it really matter? The last manager was on paper a good one. But make him a fish out of water in a strange place with strange offshore non-owners and he went completely and utterly to pieces.
It surely cannot be a coincidence that since Magilton every manager has made a complete pig's ear of the job - so the reasons for abject failure must run very deep - and simply appointing yet another one will solve nothing.
The big danger of jettisoning the truly awful Cook is that a shedload of hangars on came with him - on and off the pitch. Like Hurst before him he totally destabilised the club, jettisoned good players and brought in unproven players who as yet look no better than those they replaced.
Whoever comes in there will inevitably be disgruntled players with contracts that will be here longer than the new manager - again.
Whoever the next manager is, just a modicum of common sense would be a huge improvement. | |

It all comes down to money. That's why I think we need to take time with this appointment. We're clearly a very good draw in League One; a club with supportive owners who will let anyone build a team he wants and will pay the going rates where required.
My biggest gripe is that Ashton will be one of the decision-makers and, as we know well.... |  |

I really fancy Gal Gadot.
At nearly 50, I should probably grow up and accept I’ve not got a chance but in the Wonder Woman outfit she’s irresistible. |  |

Money and aspirations. If they believe in their ability rather than simply having fallen on their feet where they are they will be able to be attracted.
Plymouth are unlikely to get promoted and, if they do, will look at staying up as the objective.
Similarly MK Dons.
We will pay a higher salary than either alongside promotion bonus and transfer backing in the Championship should we get there. | |

Kjetil Knutsen. The Norwegian guy linked to Norwich recently, should be considered as an unknown. Slaven Bilic got West Brom to the Prem. Woodgate? Would they consider Burley? Solskaer? Not interested in fellow League one strugglers, or Warnock, Terry, Lampard, Lennon. No Norwich rejects. Too much negative ex crap with them. Ashton needs to earn his salary with this decision. Absolutely huge decision this. Would prefer to see a progressive young foreign coach |  | | |

I obviously love Yallop and Treacle but they'd be such a risk having not been around this level.
Mcgreal is probably the best option out there all things considered and that in itself would be a risk.
I feel flat, roll on Tuesday night. A win and this mess might not feel as bad. [Post edited 5 Dec 2021 17:37]

When does ‘senior’ become geriatric? We need to be looking to the future, not scraping the barrel with an old bloke happy to take a last pay day | | | |

In many ways I hope it is someone I’ve never heard of. Not many of the known potential candidates mentioned so far excite me at all. |  | | |

Many a fine tune is played on an old fiddle.
He's only a year older than Warnock whom several people on this forum are saying they'd like. I think either of them would thrive in the situation our club is in. | |

Nobody.
Paul Cook with a proper assistant and some willingness to resort to a plan B would have worked for me.
Not inspired by any of the feasible options nor am I particularly excited by the potential of returning to some old clogger who can get results at the expense of watchable football. | | | |

This is exactly how I feel too. Give me Cook but with a proper right-hand man and a willingness to flex his tactical approach every time over any of the candidates I’m hearing right now.
Such a shame that Cook couldn’t bring Richardson with him and a Plan B. Really liked him. | | | |

I hate violins ever since I was forced to play one at junior school, bar the hairy bloke in ELO. They regretted that and so did I.
I wouldn’t want Warnock either. This a long term project in football terms. Neither of those two fit the bill for that. There is nothing in it for them either. | | | |
