How many clubs gain success by promoting from within?
Jimbo would certainly bring the majority of fans together, but I'd hate for him to be a hero and then villain.
Ideally the position as Assistant Manager. Learning his craft from within under the guidance of an older head would suffice?
As for JC, it's obvious from the way he refers to us that he still has an affinity with our club. To date he always speaks highly of the place. Is he playing the diplomat knowing that eventually his time will come?
IF Peter McG wanted him......he'd get him!

Liverpool in the 70s/80s, not to mention us over the past 20 years.
Jim Harvey started as player/manager and gained promotion. His then best mate Sammy (the only viable candidate at the time) took over and gained promotion. It's the obvious time for Jimbo to step up and lead us forward as an MFC hero starting his managerial career. As for John Coleman, he recently signed a 4 year contract at Accrington Stanley, where he has been longer than his time here.
Realistically, there are very few alternatives. It's alright banging on about NW-based managers who are out of work at the minute, but even if we could afford any of them, would they do a better job than Sammy is?

I know it's a big ask for him basically saying keep us up but I am sure he has enough about him to do it. I think he will install enough passion and fight in the team to get us over the line all be it a bit scrappy, but if we do it with relative ease then the job is his.
Maybe a bit of gamble but if by 5pm sat we are on the brink of the relegation zone it's got to be worth a shot.
Paul Peschisolido at Burton had no experience and is doing ok, Eddie Howe came into a team bottom of the league and turned it around, Karl Robinson at MK Dons is only 29!
