    I'd prefer Critchley, but he's worth a go

    Not sure about him, Forest Green limped over the line last season after having a big lead. I wouldn’t be too critical of what happened at Watford mind, but I thought it was too big a job for someone so inexperienced and the way he left Forest Green didn’t look good.

    I never know what to make of managerial changes. To me doesn't strike me as much more experienced as Hudson

    Along the lines of he is in discussions to become the new Manager.

    And on the other board someone says he's down the club now lol (almost certanly made up from rumours on Instagram and probably twitter, although I haven't looked on twitter yet)

    Bob, I agree completely with your post. I just wish that we were attractive enough to get Neil Critchley.

    I don’t know how big or small it is, but I think there’s a group of good quality managers who remember the rebrand and some of the stories coming out of the club during our first season in the Premier League and would not be interested in coming here under the current ownership.

    I’d like to think we could get Critchley if we wanted him, but I doubt it if we could.

    not sure he is much of a upgrade over Huds, which then begs the question, why not give huds the job till the end of the season

    Because we are going down with Hudson in charge.

    He was regarded as a coach with Wolves and they’ve recently tried to lure him back.

    Was also appointed as a coach for England under 20s and went on to be head coach of the under-16s.

    So I’d be confident that he’s a good coach.

    Can we manage? I’d give him a shot

    Re: Rob Edwards rumours and odds dropping?

    I said Critchley after he left Villa but maybe Critchley has other ideas, I thought it was a bit of an odd move to go to Villa in the first place if he enjoyed management that much.

    Edwards I think is also worth a shot.

    Spot on. And yet, for some unknown reason, people on here are clamouring for him to get the job !! They would prefer a manager with under one seasons League Two experience and the sack at his only Championship club after 10 games to a ex City player and club captain who knows the club inside out. You couldn't make it up really could you.

    No doubt you said the same thing last season about Morison.

    Who doesn’t feel like much of an upgrade on Morison……

    What do assistant managers do? Are they coaches? Do they train the players?

    In the US, there are head coaches that pick the team and assistant coaches that run the drills etc.

    Trainers are people that take care of fitness/health.

    I know next to nothing about Rob Edward but according to Not the Top 20 Podcast, he likes 3/5 at the back and direct football so makes absolutely perfect sense for us abandon whatever "project" we were undertaking after 16 games. Go get him!

    Depends what you think about 3/5 at the back I suppose.
    Personally, I think you have to be a right fecking knob to think you're clever enough to get away with such systems in this league unless you have top players that are able to play such systems.
    It was the undoing of Morison, let's not revisit that bullshit.

    Being direct doesn’t necessarily mean hoofball or abandoning the project to play a more modern style of football.

    It could mean playing through the lines quicker. Liverpool are a lot more direct than Man City for example but they don’t play hoofball.

    Edwards was manager of Wolves under 23s and England under 16s I would highly doubt his style is going to be a throw back to Warnock and Mick.

    And let’s be honest what was Morisons “project” exactly? Defenders tippy tappying across the back four which apart from padding out the possession stats wasn’t exactly getting us anywhere, we weren’t exactly cutting teams open. Yes the odd good half, the odd good goal but a lot of the time passing the ball with no real purpose just passing for passing sake. That’s as boring to watch as hoofball.

    Re: Rob Edwards rumours and odds dropping?

    The odds are now getting tricky for the bookies to manage. They will pay out on a caretaker if they do 10 games, so if Hudson is in charge up to the World Cup they'll pay out.
