Really? He's spent all but two of seasons of a managerial career spanning over 700 games in the non-leagues. Last year he got Stockport promoted into League 1. He's got no experience of managing above League two and only teo seasons of football league experience. That makes him ready for a Championship job???????????

Id rather duel managers - winners get selected for the next match.

Is it great? He's spent 600+ games managing non-league clubs.

Sounds a lot like Rob Edwards. He's done alright.

I actually think some attempt to keep fans onside wouldn’t be a bad thing. Bit of balance rather than appointments that seem designed to disappoint

Apart from the fact that Rob Edwards has spent two seasons managing in non-leagues and Dave Challinor has spent all but two seasons managing in non-leagues, you're exactly right.

What about if we got him with SKP? Think that would satisfy a few?

He wouldn't be top of my list, but I don't see it as bad of an appointment as others do. He's an up and coming manager with a fantastic record who looks like he'll inevitably get a chance at this level, or the top end of League One before long. Just like many of the other foreign managers we've been linked to.
If it's not us that take a chance on him, someone else will, and we may regret not doing so.

Who? Alan Pardew? Gary Megson? Howard Wilkinson?
I get what you’re saying but he was managing league two players, in league two and those are the results he achieved. He’s had something like 6 promotions with 3 different clubs; they can’t all have been flukes or bankrolled by rich owners etc. Other than him not being a ‘name’, I’d be quietly happy with this as a calculated gamble.

Don't understand the SKP link at all, nothing suggests to me that he'll be a successful manager...here or anywhere else, would still be our top scorer like if he returned as a player!

He's probably less of a risk than someone like Maric but he'd come with a ridiculous amount of negativity. I don't think thats the way the club should go so soon after Beale
Based on your reasoning DC would be a decent appointment then . FWIW I wouldn’t be adverse to giving him a shot at it.Apart from the fact that Rob Edwards has spent two seasons managing in non-leagues and Dave Challinor has spent all but two seasons managing in non-leagues, you're exactly right.
Didn't he used to play for Tranmere?
