Gary Brabin has just been appointed a coach at port vale so it won't be him, I wouldn't think.

Morgan has had coaching experience at various places but only caretaker management experience at Sheff Utd, Chesterfield and Port Vale I think, so it isn't that he has had no experience and "you have to start somewhere". I think he could be considered if he comes across as having the correct philosophy to take on the job, but who actually knows. He was a pretty brute-ish centre half from what I can remember, who had an uncompromising nature so he could be someone who could sell himself well to the Cassons.

Brabin said he was more than happy when scouting at Sunderland and was not looking to move when linked with the Chester job, but then went to Port Vale with Aspin, so once again who knows. Things change quickly and he could fancy it if he is being considered.

They left under a cloud of course but time is helping to put their legacy in a more favourable light I think.

They would whip our current squad into shape I would imagine - but never go back; I've seen Pet Sematary so I know what can happen.

The club has said it is looking for an experienced manager, might as well stick with Hornby.

So you think Hornby is an experienced manager? Where has he managed?

I know we have a different financial situation nowadays but the last season or so under bayliss was pretty horrendous.
