Thin on the ground it seems.

Id have McCarthy in heartbeat. Warburton too.

I think it isn't an issue paying him off. That is small fry compared to what you lose upon relegation. I think the issue is that Ken has it easy with Parky. He isn't demanding cash for players in public. So any new appointment needs to be affordable to Ken and with very modest demands. And a character who won't rock the boat. Because Ken can't afford internal confrontation. Suspect such an appointment is easier said than done. 

If that is the case then I don't see Anderson as a savvy businessman, surely any chance of a sale of the club would be dependant on the club being in the championship, not looking good at the moment, so it would be beneficial to Anderson to invest in a more experienced manager to get us out of this hole we're buried in.

With KA trousering 500k pa does he really want to sell the club?

Aye. The sooner it was done, the better chance a prospective manager would have.

I guess until it happens we won't know who'd be available, as in actual applicants.

If someone is willing to pay him £20m+ I don't think he'd be too bothered about losing a job paying £500k p.a. How old is he 60's? £20m should see him through his dotage. I think it's a lot harder than some people think to find someone willing and able to buy a football club and to give some of their money away every year.

My plan to buy the club continues to rely on my euromillons ticket coming up when the jackpot is over £100m. It could be me!

A manager who could get the team to win a game would be nice at the moment.

Yes. But it involves him spending more money. Ken knows there is no guarantee either way and no guarantee anyone will buy the club for the going rate he's after. It is a risk reward scenario. He will know the potential risk vs reward and make a decision based on that. And that alone. 

A manager who can stop our players holding out their arms saying “what should I do?”.

That would be fantastic.

 

Gary Bowyer might be a decent appointment, he's used to having sod all money and worked miracles at the Blackpool circus, he's available too.

im sure thats being dealt with elsewhere

I’d have Steve Evans 

seemed to get shafted at Leeds and doing a fine job at Peterborough 

We can't afford somebody else's manager.

Why would he leave a well run progressive league 1 club ?

Just throwing name out 

plus nobody knows there could be funds.

mind saying that maybe to outspoken for ken don’t think he’s s yes boss

Never rated Scottish managers, very few seem to do well in England especially with no dosh to spunk.

Great jocks Bruce 

Sorting the club ownership out is the priority as changing manager without giving him something to work with is a waste of time. Furthermore no one half decent will take the job without a workable budget.
