Savage is involved with Macc now and has no managerial experience.
Saunders.... No thank you! Should be looking at getting in the Cowley brothers if possible but that's just my opinion.

Agree

Just going to throw this name out there, as I know he did a great job at our level, is always professional about how he sets up his teams regarding training etc. And would tick a lot of boxes for the documentary. He is at a club now that is struggling financially, and he is someone I'd be happy with here. That person is Sol Campbell.

There are also other ex premier league players that would be good for the documentary, with Robbie Fowler being one of them. If Peter Moore comes in the Fowler would be a possibility. The Cowleys have done well with Lincoln yes, but are they big names that would intrest the general public to tune in and watch ot on the tv. With a big name like Campbell or Fowler, people from all over the world would be interested in tuning in and seing how they do.

Cowleys would be best for footballing reasons but to put us out there and to get people interested in us we will need a big name, and someone who played at the very top.

For me I’d love Darren Ferguson back .
Pros - knows the club
Successful lower league manager with 2 promotions already with peterboro
Good connections in the game
Media savvy; Good everytime I’ve seen him interviewed on TV and in print.

Cons - managing a club 2 leagues higher and looking to get back in the championship with Peterborough.

Maybe a few years down the line if or hopefully when we are back in the league.

Thank god it’s not fans that will be appointing the next manager. It is okay to appoint a manager who is not an ex player or a celebrity.

None of the above, fresh thinking required

Do you think that “entertainment value” will come into the decision? For the documentary?

Mark Hughes, very good striker, hotheaded at times, variable club managerial success despite being well-backed by wealthy owners, tactically found wanting, past his sell buy date at higher level, no non-league experience.
Dean Saunders, good footballer, fully backed by Geoff Moss, nearly got us into the EFL, did OK at Doncaster then downward spiral after mistakenly appointed by the wealthy Steve Morgan who tried to dabble in football club ownership! Blew his radio opportunities through his own arrogance and foolishness!

Probably the most balanced post on this thread.
In summary non of these should be Wrexham’s future manager. I don’t know what the obsession is of getting someone that has an affiliation with Wrexham. Someone with no previous with Wrexham would be preferable.

Exactly. Primary qualification: does not know the area!
