Who should replace Dickov?

[les@donr]

PD was hired with one objective, keep Rovers in the Championship this season. Can the Board renew his contract given he failed in his objective? I think not. But who should replace him? My own view is to go for someone like Justin Edinburgh, an ambitious young manager, who has a better reading of the game than Dickov, and who is not tactically naïve.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Lee Clark kept a club up, maybe him

[CrippyCooke]

Absolutely ridiculous. Grow a pair of b*llocks of accept relegation with dignity.

[hoolahoop]

I'm f**ked off enough without reading this garbage. Come on fellas please grow up, someone had to go down and we went down fighting despite an horrific run. All managers are signed up for success unfortunately very few of the 92 clubs can be successful......sack most of them ?

[DonnyRed1992]

So replace Dickov with another unproven manager?

There's a big gulf between League 1 and League 2 and even a bigger gulf between League 1 and the Championship which is were we should be aiming to get back in again

We need to get rid of the 'Throwing the toys out of the pram' attitude and take it on the chin.

Let's give Dickov a pre-season and see what he can come up with

[Steve DRFC]

How do you know Justin Edinburgh has a "better reading of the game" than Dickov ......?

[Dare to dream!]

Chris Powell of he wants it

[CrippyCooke]

Chris Powell of he wants it

Charlton were bottom when he left. I am missing your logic.

They weren't. They were 22nd, and one point behind 4th bottom.

So are you writing off his managerial capabilities based on one point?   

[Dare to dream!]

He got them promoted as champions from league 1 and kept Charlton up for 1 season before he got sacked

Also had loads of games in hand.

Something which Dickov hasn't had the opportunity to do. He's done enough this season to earn a chance in League One with us.

Oh yeah because he achieved the target set to him of keeping us up, didn't he?

Replace Paul Dickov (who seemed content to lose away to Leicester) with a guy who is out of work, has experience in getting promotion from Legue One, has worked on a budget and survived in the Championship and plays a fantastic style of football:

Sean O'Driscoll should be the next manager of Doncaster Rovers

Haha which board, regardless of their expectations, would set a manager a target of take us down!! and how do you know that was the remit given to him in any event?

Survival was a target. Not an ultimatum.

Exactly why Paul Dickov should be given the chance to build his own team with the youngsters we have on our books.
Then and only then can we come back the stronger for another tilt in the Championship. RTID

Because re-appointing managers that you've sacked works so well......

Not a bad shout, if Dickov is replaced, but I can't see him leaving  Scunny; not for us anyway.

[bedale rover]

We already have the ready made replacement in Brian Horton
Been there done it

[wilts rover]

We already have the ready made replacement in Brian Horton
Been there done it

If Dickov isn't good enough then the bloke who has been advising him certainly isnt!!

[StocksArmy]

F**k ***

[idler]

I don't follow this at all.
He has been Dickov's assistant/advisor so on is own will turn things around.
Leave it as it is and see how we go for me.

[les@donr]

I too wish to give Russ Wilcox the vote as the next Rovers manager. I just threw out the name Justin Edinburgh to get things rolling, but consider Russ Wilcox as someone who has better managerial credentials for the Rovers manager's job.

So Russ Wilcox is a "great shout" but Horton isn't?

Scunny sacked laws and replaced him with ...his assistant Russ Wilcox
How many times does the assistant surpasses the manager?

Rubbish, dickovs job was to keep us up. we should have been safe 5 games ago, his appalling tactics have cost us. I seriously doubt his ability to get us promoted back, just ask Oldham.

[Dare to dream!]

We need someone with experience that's where we went wrong with Dickov. A more experienced manager would have seen us over the line even with the number of injuries we've had.

Chris Powell is the only suitable candidate not sure at all on Willcox

[les@donr]

DD, Isn't Chris Powell from London, would he move North? Wouldn't he look for a new manager's position in the London area?
