Will Still (managerial suggestion)


Was my old uni lecturer was Steve. Top man. Not sure if Tony Cotton was a fan though.


Valid. If we can't secure Still, i would just let Dodds carry on as interim for a while, while we take our time in our search. No need to label it to the end of the season either after 2-3 games. I'd like to see him perform over at least 10-12 games before confirming anything, and then if that showed that he was ready, start talking.
Trouble with that approach is if Dodds gets in to the role and doesn’t want to drop back but isn’t what hierarchy want or isn’t quite good enough. We then have to replace him and lose a crucial part of the coaching team.
 
Good luck to anyone who chooses Stoke over Sunderland, look what happened to the last bloke. If AN had stuck and been a success his stock would have been very high and may have had the chance of a longer more lucrative contract or better job offers.

He's now in a queue on the managerial merry-go-round hoping for a lower championship EFL job or League One at best. Good luck.
 
.I like the potential appointment of Will Still, but in agreement to your post and in defence of Dodds, if he is as highly rated a coach as we hear and have seen the past couple of games, why could he not enjoy a similar path? Dodds at 37 now is no different to coaches like Still just over a year ago or the likes of Carrick who just took a first job, or McKenna at Ipswich as examples.
Spot on. I’m no longer worried about it being him.
