This is not a call for our Manager's head hence the reason I've posted on the non ICT Forum but today's latest failure to turn a half time advantage into three points makes it even more likely that ICT be plying their trade in the First Division next season.

That being the case we will, without doubt, be looking for a new manager in the spring. No doubt there will be further financial trimming so we will be shopping in the bargain basement. So, who are the promising young managers either acting as coaches or assistants at the moment or currently doing well at a part time level ?

If Butcher is willing to take a pay cut then I would like to see him stay and try to build a squad for next season. We are not out of it yet, I think it all depends on who comes and goes in January.

To answer your question Colin, Paul Martin seems to making a name for himself, also Alan Moore is a good manager.

Alan Moore was one of those I had in mind.

I reckon Latapy could be quiet good.

Dan Petescru is rumoured to be keen to get back into British football!

He's applied for the Scotland job.

Only if you regard Chick Young as a reliable source !

Chick Young is the voice of reason. :(

Way out of our league, he is own of the most promising young managers in Europe and is earning close to 300k a year where he is

He has or at least intended to put in his application a week ago when Marius spoke to him

Well.... We were good enough for Marius.... Couldn't you get him to put in a word for us?

Johnboy I wouldn't recommend anyone to get involved with our current Board of Director's again.

Promising young managers...........there are quite a few out there but turning it to what would be best for ICT I think Charlie as head coach with maybe Rossco and Bazz. Do away with DoF and employ Pele as part time scout and advisor.

Alan Moore was one of those I had in mind.

He knows the score. (knowing nod to any 80s/90s indie fans)

Seriously, though. I'm a fan of the big guy but I fail to see how writing a complex multi-part epic like Watchmen translates into organising an off-side trap in the Scottish First Division.

Besides which, he'd never leave Northampton...

Stevico--when you dipped your pen in the inkwell to write the last post had you just arisen out of bed and had sleepy eyes?

"Cos I am afraid it was not ink but whatever it was it burned holes in the paper and ah cannae read yer post.

Oh! It has just come to me--it was that new-fangled material aptly named ironic jaundiced acid.

Guaranteed to make an impact in the paper . :)

Dan Petrescu sounds like some kind of playground superhero. :)

Petrescu will be interviewed next month according to the BBC, if he gets it he will take in a Scottish Asst Manager

Stevie Clarke as Asst Manager you heard it hear first :D

I hate to say it but Derek Adams is a good manager

If you are talking about young managers who may at least be in running for ICT job when Butcher leaves then i would say Alan Moore should be frontrunner but I think Morton still want him (i can't remember if Grady took over permanantly or until end of season).

To the guy that said Paul Martin, is this the manager at Arbroath?

Gary McSwegan as he's been Youth team coach may be an up and coming manager but to be honest i don't want to risk anyone who would start their managerial career at us.

There is a lot more young gaffers out there that we should, in my opinion, be looking at anyway but just don't know who.
