Edwards, Schumacher, Wotton, Warnock - your picks for next Argyle boss
We asked you for your views on who you would like to see take over at Plymouth Argyle after Miron Muslic's departure as head coach. There were many names thrown into the hat, but some more often than others. Here are some of the top names Argyle fans told BBC Sport they would like to see at Home Park. Toots: How about Paul Wotton? Solid manager, knows Plymouth and has been around in his playing days. Ben: I'd go for Paul Wotton if he's interested. Doing a decent job in the lower leagues and would show some loyalty. Daryl: Luke Williams could be a contender. A promising, attacking manager looking to rebuild after not quite making it in the Championship with Swansea. Could be the man to get the best out of players like Rami Al Hajj and Michael Baidoo. Simon: Give the job to Mr Argyle, Kevin Nancekivell. He is local, knows the club inside out & the area, exotic managers haven't done it in recent times!!! Jacob: Rob Edwards would be the perfect man for the Argyle job. His modern football alongside his attacking focuses really reaches the consistency with Argyle's desires. We've played this type of football for many years now, from Ryan Lowe to Steven Schumacher - it worked. John: Big mistake to not reappointed Steven Schumacher. Perhaps we can beg Bolton with the Schalke pay-off. Better option than an unknown or a big name mercenary. Option B... Mr Warnock. Bruce: Neil Warnock. His CV and successful record in both getting promotions and avoiding relegation is unmatched by anyone else likely to apply. Mark: We need a manager who is loyal first and foremost… give it to Joe Edwards with Nance beside him and with the Green Army behind them. Dan: I think it's time for Joe Edwards to take the job. We need someone with a strong connection to the club. No more six-month managers. Andrew: I'd like Paul Wotton to be given the role. Whilst he hasn't managed at the highest level he has got experience and is Plymouth through and through. Lots of Argyle fans seem to pour scorn on the idea but for me he's our man, no question. Simon: I think we do best at Argyle when we go about our business quietly. So no 'big' names, thank you. Our most successful managers over the past 25 years (Paul Sturrock, Ian Holloway, Derek Adams, Ryan Lowe) have been good managers looking for the next step, rather than well-known managers on their way down. Steve: I'd give Wayne Rooney another go, League Two would be easier to win a game in.
