Realistically who would you bring in?

[Dan]

I understand there’s a few manager threads but no clear one with any suggestions in. It seems a lot of people want a replacement so I’m interested to know who they would bring in.

Paul Tisdale has said tonight that he is having a rest from football at the moment so that’s him ruled out. Therefore I’m intrigued as to who people would get.

There’s a vocal minority on here who want JD gone so let’s have some names.

[julianshatnasty]

Alan Partridge.

Just so that him and Drewe Broughton can have a face off about who runs the best Alan Partridge parody twitter account.

Tisdale saying he is having a rest says a lot to me.
He's waiting maybe for our position to be open in January or sooner.
It does make sense and the cup money could pay dempster and glover off.
I'm sure the money from Peterborough or was it China paid for flitcroft.
It's a business and John and Carolyn know what they are doing money wise.
I get called for not saying dempster should be sacked and I stand by it for the good of the club.

A vocal minority want him gone? Judging by the polls on here and on Facebook, well over 95% of the fan base wants him gone.

Minority dan? Really!!

You seriously believe that every Stags fan has voted in these ridiculous polls?! Jesus Christ.

Are you going to suggest anyone to bring in seeings as you’re one of them?

If funds/budget available.....

Paul tisdale

Nathan Jones

If funds/budget low

Ian evatt (barrow)

Nothing against dempster, and he does deserve his chance, unfortunately I feel the majority of the fans have made there mind up, so no matter what happens he is on a hiding NOW....
Personally the board have to take responsibility for the position we are in, constantly bleating about top3 and promotion budget/etc, yet set a rookie on?? Why didn't they make dempster no 2???
I look back at the donohue situation, and feel not replacing him was a massive mistake...

[gazza1988]

Anybody? He has exactly the same results as Billy McEwan did. Won 8 drew 6 and lost 12. According to https://www.thesackrace.com/teams/mansfield-town

Billy got that side cobbled together fairly last minute. Dempster got a settled side that finished 4th the previous year.

Darrell Clarke, despite a win% of 29 this season in a free falling Walsall side, still has a win% of 45%. https://www.thesackrace.com/managers/darrell-clarke

Troll post... If you think it's a minority your clueless. Yes a poll on here or Facebook doesn't represent everyone but when it's so one sided it's a very good indicator.

As for managers. See who applies and appoint the best candidate. We're one of 92 very desirable jobs in English football. We'll have lots of interest. Guaranteed.

Sadly even if they did remove JD I have very little faith in the club to then make the right call.

[yorkshire stag]

we seem to have forgotten the age old process of advertising the position, sifting & then calling for an interview, we have good quality owners, facilities etc, we are an attractive option in the lower leagues.

What we dont seem to have is owners here at the club with time to spend interviewing. I think that is partly why JD got the job. The easy option. They knew him and didnt have to go through the process or interviewing anyone.

& look what crackin call that was !!!

it can’t keep dragging on the blokes a dead man walking

Obviously not every Stags fan has voted however the completely unanimous results clearly show that the vast majority of Stags fans want him gone. Is it just a coincidence that there were 450 votes wanting him sacked and about 10 votes wanting him to stay on the first Facebook poll?

I also don’t see why they’re ‘ridiculous polls’. It’s surveying whether the fans of our football team believe in the manager or not. I think everyone would argue that’s it’s an important matter.

Regarding candidates, off the top of my head I’d suggest the likes of Tisdale, Nathan Jones, Neil Harris would be worth looking into, Paul Heckingbottom, Ian Holloway, Nigel Adkins and John McDermott.

More to the point, if you were one of the 2,000 that turned up last week, how many of you heard a single positive comment from a fellow Stags fan as you were leaving the ground.

We had just won a cup tie, the buzz should have been about who we get in the next round. All I heard was a kind of angry incredulity over the garbage they had just witnessed.

[SINA STAG]

I've told you who've got lined up..... The board hasn't got a majority vote to sack JD until that happens NJ sits waiting for the call......

[BH_Stag]

Dan, if you think it’s just a ‘vocal minority’ that want a change of manager than you’re seriously misguided. I had to laugh at one point when looking on Facebook when I saw a poll for Dempster in or out, and out of 70 votes at that moment, you were the only one that voted to give him more time... the reason I laughed is because you have seen around 2 games this season (that I think we lost). You simply haven’t seen first hand how uninspiring the vast majority of the season has been - even in victory large sections of the support have left questioning what direction the management are taking us in (Chorley and Scunthorpe being prime examples).

There’s plenty of managers out there that would jump at the chance to come here with our owners ambitions, budget, squad, and training facilities that will pretty much be the envy of League 2. Or who is to say we won’t cherry pick a manager from another club again like we did with Flitcroft? You can say that will cost a fortune, but nobody knows what our intentions would be or who JR might have his eye on. Truth is, it can be the case that you don’t really know who would be in the frame until there is a vacancy. Some good names above have been mentioned (Jones, Tisdale) that are worth a conversation, will they come? Who knows, but you sell managers a project to buy in to to get who you want, just like we did with Evans and Flitcroft.

It’s just silly. This device only appeals to those who want him gone.

How does it? Anyone that wants Dempster to stay can just vote for that option. You’re just making excuses because you know that most of the fanbase wants him gone and that doesn’t sit well with you.

[wayno cordiniho]

In answer to the original post, I’d advertise the job, shortlist, interview and chose who I thought was the best person for the job.

[wink68]

Boltons assistant manager.

[Jamie]

This is like Brexit all over again. Dan and Edders are the typical remoaners.

The point of the poll on here is that a few weeks ago it would have been much closer. Even those calling for more time or not really sure have turned.

Don’t try to categorise me, Jamie. You’re really not up to it.

Good Call

[MTFCMusings]

Derek Adams would have been fine, we've missed out on him due to dallying. Jones would be the dream, but I highly doubt he will come here. I would take Clarke or Heckingbottom.
