Paul Lambert leaves/is sacked from his post at Ipswich after guiding them to two successive wins and back up to 8th in League 1 just two points outside the playoff places, citing a "significant differences of opinion" with chairman Maurice Evans. Lambert had over four years left on his contract and a settlement was reached prior to his departure.
There's another club looking for a new manager. Suppose Paul Cook will end up there.

Derek Adams has had more than one previous promotions and built successful teams at different clubs. He seems as good as any of the viable alternatives. Interestingly he has worked with Colin Calderwood before (Hibernian) and I wonder if he would join Adams as Director of Football (including recruitment)? |

This would be a good appointment, and unlike Cook, is something I think is much more realistic. Doing a good job at Morecambe. I didn't know he won't the champions league beating Stanley 6-0 though  |

I didn't like Adams when he was Plymouth manager, complete obnoxious twat. If he becomes our manager I may change my view  |

We all know that, if previous appointments are anything to go by, it'll be no one that has been mentioned on here when it eventually happens?

In my opinion we need to try and find the next Howe, Cowley, Rowett, Wilder etc. who will move onto a bigger club after a brief period of success but I doubt any of us would complain too much if they leave us sitting in top 6 of league 1 with a few saleable assets and a decent overall squad providing a good platform to attract a more experienced manager with a better track record (e.g. a Paul Cook) as a replacement.
I know that recruiting a first time manager is a risk but as others have pointed out not a great deal higher than recruiting a more experienced manager (e.g. Johnson).
Therefore I would opt for Rosenior, Eustace or another ex-player currently coaching a U18/21/23 team or assistant at another team.
At this time I would wait until the summer to recruit a manager providing a fresh start when we can build momentum and create a winning culture rather than hiring now to likely oversee relegation.

I don't think any manager appointed now could be blamed for our eventual relegation and it would be unfair to have that on his cv.
I share Teacher's Pet view on Derek Adams as an unsavioury character. Rather like Alex Ferguson when his team lost he always found an excuse such as blaming refereeing decisions. He has been relatively successful though.

No thanks, if football teams can be mistresses, I don't fancy yours much, too much make up, designer gear etc. far too high maintenance. I think I would prefer something much dirtier, down near the docks, Dover Athletic maybe?  |

Forget all this bringing in of a 'what's left available' manager. Give the Brady bunch a rolling 12 months contract now. They have improved us significantly over the last few weeks, it's just that serious individual mistakes have cost us a couple of wins which would have put us in a much better position. We are probably odds on to get relegated from where we are at today but Brady and co will, in my opinion, give us something watchable and probably a decent league 2 position next season. I think we might beat Plymouth tomorrow as long as we can cut out serious defensive errors.

I reckon you are correct, we need to give Brady a break , not sure anyone will save us now, so why change, hes been hamstrung by an injured keeper, a winger that isnt 100%, a strikeforce that doesnt strike and a relentless run of tiring games . Another manager , wont suddenly turn our strikers into Aguero and Salah, nor Keeper into Ederson. |

Totally agree. As you can tell, I've already moved on from the manager discussion. Brady and the boys all the way. Unless Arsene Wenger buys the club, I hear he's in the market for one. |
