Critchleys Replacement

Liam Manning is my personal preference, but to be fair Duffs CV appears very well suited to the role.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’m all for the ‘head coach’ rather than a manager route. Long term recruitment and planning that avoids massive overhauls when a new manager comes in.
 
I will back whoever St Simon brings in. Some of the hysteria on social media is a joke. If someone had said to me 3 or 4 years ago "Championship football and mid table first season, training ground in flight and a commitment for a new East Stand" - I'd have bitten their arm off.

UTVMP.

Been chewing this over. I think he'd be a good fit but not going to stick around, but hey I thought NC would so who knows?

BLACKPOOL CONSIDER 46-Y/O AS THEY STEP UP SEARCH FOR NEW BOSS

Blackpool are considering appointing former boss Michael Appleton as they continue their search for Neil Crichley’s successor.
​
The Seasiders were left surprised when Critchley decided to leave the club to join Aston Villa as Steve Gerrard’s assistant. That came as a significant disappointment for all connected to the club, after the fine job the ex-Liverpool coach had done in taking them back to the Championship.
Now though, they are looking for his replacement, with the likes of Michael Duff and Liam Rosenior having emerged as potential options.
And, according to Sun reporter Alan Nixon, Appleton is another in the frame.
The 46-year-old is currently without a club having left Lincoln City after a mixed few years with the Imps, that included losing the 2021 League One play-off final to Critchley’s side.

If Appleton did land the job at Bloomfield Road it would be his second spell in charge after he previously had the job back in 2012.
However, things didn’t really go to plan then, as Appleton resigned after just 11 league games in charge.
You can understand why Blackpool are considering Appleton as he is a coach in a similar mould to Critchley in the sense that he encourages attacking football and is known for developing players.

Of course, some would feel the club should be aiming higher considering they are now a Championship side but it’s about identifying someone who suits your club.

So, it will be interesting to see how this plays out and you would expect an announcement in the next week or so.

Not for me once bitten twice shy that goes for Grayson as well we would be barrel scraping.

Only 1 manager since Holloway has made it to 100 games managing the club. If we are worrying that we're recruiting a manager who might be successful enough he's poached for elsewhere - I think that would be a very nice problem to have.

Ollie is a lot better than 90% of those we appear to be interested in that’for sure in my view .
 
Bookies and Twitter seem to think it’s Rosenior.

I personally would have liked someone more experienced if he has got the role but time will tell if the gamble pays off or not.
