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.
What rumours?
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.Quote:

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

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
I tend to agree.Quote:

So I’d be confident that he’s a good coach.
Can we manage? I’d give him a shot
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.Quote:

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.
Nope we are in a much worse situationQuote:

Depends what you think about 3/5 at the back I suppose.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
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.
Agree, it was less around Edwards and his style and more around the club that i was aiming my sarcasm at. However, i'm convinced Hudson will still be charge come December and most likely sacked a day before the transfer window closes.Quote:

I was never convinced the club really had any real project in place, it was entirely up to SM
Rob Edwards success at FGR is simple, Matt Stevens 27 goals, Jamille Matt 20 goals. When Stevens got injured they collapsed. Not saying he didn’t do a good life but life’s easier when your two strikers get you nearly 50 goals
Good players make good coaches.Quote:

It undoubtedly helps but is it fair to say maybe they scored as many partly because of something Edwards was doing right?
I don't believe we have anyone in mind other than Hudson anyway to be fair, who may turn out to be good but at present doesn't even have that success in league 2 that Edwards does.
He's not my first choice. But he's managed over 100 games. So there's that.Quote:

I reckon we could. Much more attractive proposition than Blackpool where he was lastQuote:
