Who do we want as our new Manager

The good thing about the IF debacle is the club should hopefully learn from those mistakes. Some mentioned Pearson he's a proven good manager if you read wiki I was surprised at how well he's done. He's been treated unfairly in some of his clubs. But he seems to fall out with chairman's alot.
Thinking exactly the same thing. What on earth went one between IF and the players. Especially MW and RH
He isn't a people person, that is evident. Especially with the news that did the rounds after he had left. One big thing was his obsession with out of possession play. Whilst this was needed, one negative output from it was the isolation of Hardie and MW. The midfield were too far away from them. If Azaz was there to pick the ball up in the hole, great. But we had nobody to do that. The result was no goals and a lack of creativity
Jagoba Arrasate would be absolutely incredible, but there’s no way a successful La Liga coach is coming to Argyle or majority of Championship clubs.
Whoever is brought in, legally is it possible for clauses to be put into their contract preventing them from jumping ship mid-season should they be a success by that stage in the season and eyed up by those clubs with money looking to recover their failing season by poaching another team's successful Manager?! otherwise we may find ourselves going through the same crap again, unable to counter any popstaresque salary offers!
Legally possible yes but who would sign such a contact? Also you have to look at the flip side.... That manager would then say ok, if I can't go if all goes well, then you can't sack me if things go wrong.
Best chance to mitigate against this is a big release clause but again you would have to pay big to sack them if it went wrong

Like a clause that says ... if Argyle are doing well you cannot resign never mind how much is offered but if Argyle are struggling under your leadership then you can be sacked at any time'? I'm not sure that would stand up in court.
Zidane is my no 1 choice . He did well at Real.Madrid and would love the challenge apparently.....If not, Scott Parker ....
Do we know if the club is still stipulating an attractive, attacking brand for the next manager/head coach?
I haven’t seen it mentioned this time, though to be fair there has been more pressing business.

There are a few former footballers that have finished their coaching badges and are looking for their first proper management job. The pick of them might be Jermain Defoe or Leighton Baines. Lots of experience under some great managers and must have great networks for talent spotting or potential loans. Obviously Baines will know Dewsnip and he is currently in a talent development role at Goodison.
I don't think he lied. I genuinely think that he was just caught up in a whirlwind of change. Leaving Saudi then coming to Plymouth, trying to relocate his family down to the SW and not having any of his own 'men' in the back room team to support him. He made some really bad decisions, isolated himself from the squad (and the board it appears) then didn't really have the resilience to face it out on his own. He looked a well beaten man to me, he over estimated his ability to cope under really difficult circumstances and it just went down hill from there.
Any new man coming in really needs to bring the squad with them, so the likes of Joe, Morgan, Scarr, Houghton and Forshaw need to be allies and not enemies - even if his long term view is that he doesn't want them at the club.
Interesting times, the Foster experiment failed but I don't think we should rip up our process and start from scratch. As I've posted before on this thread, there needs to be some key learning from Foster's appointment which goes beyond how well they interview about football.
How can they evidence or deliver on the ethos of a geographically isolated club? What would this mean for your family if you were successful? How would family life work? I'm guessing that these are questions that would be asked? (There must be someone on here in the know who could reveal the types of questions asked at an interview for a football manager).
I would be amazed if he chose to give up a job in La Liga to go to a struggling second tier club in England. It would be quite a coup.
