Pros:
Plays nice football
Knows the Championship
Good record with youth
Jones will probably vouch for him
Free
Local
Doesn't seem to have a massive ego
Fantastic season last year

Cons:
Sacked from Charlton, with 'transfer issues' being suggested as a reason
Seems like he may be too nice for management.
Not a 'big' or 'flair' name

Available at 40's with Bet Victor.
Thoughts?

Underwheling for me, can't see it happening if TB is right about the quality of applicants he's received

I think he'd probably be a good choice despite being ex-Palace.

Always comes across well but nearly took Charlton down, so it has to be a no.

Not the big name or flair persona many seem to insist we should have as a manager but I'd be happy with him.

I'm not sure what the con about "transfer issues" is but given that Burke and his team handle all that, it's unlikely to be a problem.

Powell would be a good appointment. No doubt will get roundly criticised for being too 'nice'.

Was mentioned in a thread yesterday. Would be a decent choice, but underwhelming to some. I'm not sure there are many we would all approve of though.

It would be nice to give a chance to an up-and-coming British manager, and he fits the bill. Sherwood, Powell, or Nathan Jones would be okay with me to be honest.

Whoever it is, I want them to stay more than a year. That's all I ask for, a bit of ruddy STABILITY.

He's about as "ex-Palace" as ..say...Steve Claridge. And you won't find any Palace fans celebrating the prattling BBC parrot as an "old boy". Not after Wembley 1996.

At least Nathan Jones has got a hit record about him. "You've been gone too long.." etc.

Suggestion is that the Chairman brought in a few players that Powell didn't want and so he didn't play them, which led to his demise (along with league position)
And since our previous two managers have got rather frustrated with transfers/budget, I thought it worth mentioning.

We need a manager who can get us promoted whilst playing good, attractive, attacking football.

Sorry Chris, it's a no thanks from me.

History tells us that the managers that succeed at our club are first and foremost no-nonsense motivators (eg Mullery, Adams, Poyet). I suspect Powell, like Garcia, is just a bit too phlegmatic and low key.

Jury is out for me on Powell. He could be great. However, I'd like to get a manager that has been there and done it this time. We took risks on the last two and did ok. Now let's welcome a tried and tested.
