It's another one that should do, on paper anyway. Ex-PL club, even if not exactly a PL giant. Decent fanbase, extraordinary wealth behind them, the sense that getting them right would see him a hero. But plenty have failed there, including Nathan Jones who was on a similar trajectory to Challinor. I'd be surprised if he isn't linked, even as an outsider. Stoke get rid of the managers way to easy. Why would Chally want to go somewhere that might kick him out after a few dodgy results. A decent pay off I know, but I doubt he's that sort of chap. He's on a good number at County, lots of credit in the bank, AND County are on a mission. Stay with it Chally! Because there's always that 'what if I'm the one to change it?' about jobs like Stoke. Get them right and have the similar impact he had with Hartlepool and us and he's a Premier League manager in 12-24 months. Doesn't matter what mission we're on, that trumps it. Plus he'd be on vastly more money.

Just seen an article in the Sunderland echo that say's DC is 5/2 favourite for the job with the bookies. Doesn't say which bookies though. Interesting that whenever these kind of lists come up Wrexham's Jurassic Parky never get's mentioned!

Think of all of the rumoured clubs interested, this one is most likely to come to fruition. There’s no doubt in my mind that the club will be fully prepared for this eventuality. DC said in Friday’s interview he wants to manage at the highest level he can.

Thing is how many of these changes improve their lot. How many managers have we had from galbraith to the arrival of Danny where nothing ever changed really. Nowadays we,d have double that number for sure.

If the worst happens & he does go I think I'd rather promote from within & stick with the coaching structure we've got in place. There's no-one out there who instantly springs to mind who would excite me as a DC replacement.

Interesting that whenever these kind of lists come up Wrexham's Jurassic Parky never get's mentioned! Parky never gets a mention as he is seen only as a cheque book manager with a mixed past. DC has only had one sacking but a sacking by that half wit fylde owner could be regarded as a plus point.

Thats a massive problem where really apart from Danny coming we have only ever improved when Dave Jones replaced him, JG got the job first and 3rd time and DC took over from rusk. Thats taking over 65 years into consideration never mind all the names we have seen coming and going. More chance for me that we,d find an upgrade on llouis barry from a player who is a free agent than improving on DC.

Thing is how many of these changes improve their lot. How many managers have we had from galbraith to the arrival of Danny where nothing ever changed really. Nowadays we,d have double that number for sure. Managers that changed things for the better, post-Danny? Let's have a look. If your measure is league position, then there's a few but in general 'vibes' terms, it's a lot trickier. Jones, defo a success. Megson, by league position a success but did he change things for the better? Gave us one incredible season, one less so (but still good). Tough ask to follow DJ though. Kilner, league position dropped, but gave us Maine Road Palmer, nah mate. McIlroy, probably an improvement on Palmer in terms of vibes but no real impact on the pitch Turner, double nah mate. Jim 1.0, just the greatest time to be a County fan. Ablett, no comment. Simpson, impossible to say but I'd say he did better than Ablett did but that was the lowest of bars and we obvs struggled (Still think we'd have stayed up) Matthias, league position didn't really improve but probably more favourably looked upon than Simpson? Hamann, lol. Disastrous. Jim 2.0, overall league position worse than when he took over, but undoubtedly steadied the ship - was operating with both hands tied behind his back. And blindfolded. Bogie, useless. Lord, a tick for him. Young, initial promise but another one who took us backwards. Jim 3.0, immeasurable success by almost any metric. Rusk, the cold stats will say he was a success but one of the most miserable times watching County. Hard to believe his team went on to win a title that year. Challinor, obviously done phenomenally well (but heavily backed). So how many have left things in a better state than they inherited? Jones Megson, up for debate Jim Lord Challinor

There's no-one out there who instantly springs to mind who would excite me as a DC replacement. You'd imagine he'll take staff with him. Certainly Hill. Everyone else has been appointed under his watch too, except Luke Smith, so Colgan etc could go as well.

What I said earlier. The timing/manner of Schumacher going suggests someone else was lined up.

DC said in Friday’s interview he wants to manage at the highest level he can. Thats common sense like it is with players. If managers and players move upwards there will always be a job for them if they fail higher up.
