Rotherham sacked their manager. Reckon they would be one who would look to DC. Not sure if he'd think of that as a good move though. Why would he want to go to the 3rd World ?

There were a few talks pre season of challinor going to Barnsley and Cheltenham/Charlton - I can't remember which one it was - and there's been alot of sackings this season and I'm surprised how little interest there's been in DC since then

Miles bigger club obviously, but likely to be relegated this season and hopefully they will be a league fixture next season. Plus they’re a bit (understatement?) of a basket case by all accounts under the current owner.

We're in the Grauniad. Spot the missing detail: 'Promotion to League One is by no means the height of Stockport’s ambition. Upon appointing Challinor in November 2021, the chief executive, Jonathan Vaughan, hailed “the start of our comeback story” – and they duly won promotion to the Football League as champions that season. The Cheshire-based businessman Mark Stott had bought the club in 2020 and plotted a course up the leagues, with a seven-year plan to reach the Championship. After six seasons in the doldrums of the National League North, it would be some story. 'In the sixth tier, while some rivals had crowds of 300, County drew 3,000 or more. They are now attracting nearly 10,000 every week and aim to expand Edgeley Park’s capacity to 20,000 as they tap into Stockport’s meteoric rise as a town in recent years, with plans to include 30,000 sq ft of flexible workspace in the new stand.' www.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/09/hatters-irresistible-rise-of-stockport-county

Wednesday are a bit of a mess but that's the size of club I could see him eventually going to, I'd be very surprised if he even considered Rotherham as we've got more potential.

Despite their past glories and a big (but dilapidated) ground, they don't strike me as a club on the up, or with a plan, or with an ounce of sanity. Not a place that a manager with a growing reputation would want to go to. I imagine there are much better prospects out there for DC. SW might well make a move. Can't see DC being tempted. Not in their current sorry state.

Well, 2 months ago some (though a small minority) wanted him sacked! It's probably only in the last month or so that our overall performance has started to exceed the pre-season expectations (promotion) putting together a massive winning run to go top. They'll be a limited amount of jobs that became available in that time and an even smaller number that DC is suitable for. I still think Championship sides will look elsewhere and it's northern, big L1 clubs that are most likely to come in for him.

Realistically which teams would take Challinor off us?
Pompey and Oxford are the only ones that I think he would be tempted to join in L1.
If he got offered a Championship job at a decent club then it’s a different story but I think we’re safe enough.
(Hope this doesn’t come back to bite me).

DC has got a very good gig here probably the best backed manager we have ever had, his stock will continue to rise as we do
But seems a certain level of snobbery championship upwards where plenty clubs opt for either a name or foreign coach and English coach like DC that done the hard yards often overlooked for big jobs think he said as much on football focus if read between lines
There really isn't many in L1 you could see him leaving for bigger club like Bolton maybe or Derby if they sort off field out other than that bigger clubs are down south miles away not sure be appetite to uproot family down there
Some bigger northen/midlands clubs in championship could appeal Stoke, Huddersfield, Birmingham, Blackburn, Boro, West Brom, Sunderland etc but think talking that calibre of club to remotely tempt him away from this job where high probability he has another promotion on CV this season then a chance to mount a playoff push in L1 at least
He just doesn't seem to be fashionable name bigger clubs go for despite his quite frankly ridiculous CV Taking us up this year and having us competing well next year clubs will have take notice but if he taken us L1 and offer cam simply couldn't turn down for him I'm sure he go with everyone best wishes
But right now I think he totally invested with what's going on here in a perfect location with a chairman backing him and can afford to pay him more to stay if needed, right now I'm not worried at all about him leaving

The last time Vaughan spoke about any redevelopment to the media it was basically to quash any idea that they were 'breaking ground this season' as they said in their initial consultation stuff. That article makes redevelopment it's main focus.

Barnsley were also interested in the summer but he declined to talk to them - that’s when he got his new contract.
