Who's next ? (Next Argyle Manager)

There is a new intriguing name in the betting for Plymouth Argyle’s managerial vacancy.

Jocelyn Gourvennec, currently the manager of bottom-of-the-table French Ligue 1 club Guingamp, was priced at 16/1 by Sky Bet on Friday morning but was later cut to 10/1.

That makes the 47-year-old the third favourite in the market, which is still led by Ian Holloway at 5/4 and Bristol Rovers boss Graham Coughlan at 11/8.

Brittany-born Gourvennec played as a midfielder for a number of top French clubs, such as Rennes, Nantes, Montpellier and SC Bastia.

He also had a spell at Marseille and was in their team when they lost 3-0 to Italian side Parma in the 1999 UEFA Cup final in Moscow.

Gourvennec was manager of Guingamp from 2010 until 2016, which included leading them to a Coupe de France success in 2014.

He then had a two-year spell with Bordeaux before returning to Guingamp last November.

Guingamp are bottom of Ligue 1 with only five wins from their 34 games this season and they are nine points from safety with only four games to go.

I wouldn't mind someone leftfield like this. Experienced top flight French player whos won the French Cup as a manager and has managed in the Europa League. He would almost certainly know of lower league French players who would be up to Larrieu and Friios standard. Dont know what made him a candidate so well see.

Im surprised nobody has mentioned Pullis as Argyle fans seem to love speculating about former players and managers. If Boro dont make the play offs tomorrow I should think his days there are numbered. They need to be back in the PL. I dont think for one minute hed drop down as far as us again but I thought he would be getting mentioned.

Pulis likes a big budget.  There is zero chance of him managing under hallett.

No one has mentioned him cause they remember the football from last time, besides as freathy says he likes money and excuses

Maybe he was thinking in jan feck do I really wanna let this guy loose with some money.

He's paying for two of jimmys mistakes, the mankover and now paying Adams off.

That is an excellent assumption, one I can agree with.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Warnock. Yeah I know he currently manages in the premier league but “EE gut an owse round ere innit”

Gourvennec, Timar. Maybe.

A European manager would likely bring in some continental flair and unknown quantities, which would be a tad different to what we are accustomed to.

No to Pullis.

Mentioned in jest elsewhere what about Arry ? Least we will get some TV time on deadline days

Timar gave his all on the pitch, universally liked by the fans , would help to heal the divide between the fans,

He knows the values of the club , where we should be, he's an up and coming manager, possibly knows Nance and the rest who are still here ,

I think we should give him a chance ,

No to pulis , Hollowords, luggy, etc.

A remote possible, not likely though.

It's just an assumption , but after two bad starts to the season, SH must have been thinking a change needs to happen and obviously thought it could wait till summer , didn't think we would fold as badly as we have,

He gave Adams a budget last summer and he spunked it on shite.
Also backed him with Jones,Oscar and Anderson who have rarely been used .

Why throw more money after bad at Adams ,

We are lucky that he didn't have chance to waste money on an Mpenza , tarribo west type signing.

Sounds perfect for argyle

won 5 games all season bottom of the league and by all accounts getting sacked very soon.

Timar would be a decent shout. Another fresh manager with fresh ideas.

It worked for wolves eventually, Who had honestly heard of  Nuno Espírito Santo before he took over at wolves, but for every Nuno theres a Ståle Solbakken,

Do you mean the bloke who managed an unknown side from Portugal........? Porto,? The same Porto that have won the odd European Cup or two?

He may have managed that other unknown side valencia!

Exactly what we need, is someone like timar who understands the club and has fresh ideas,
So what he doesn't have experience got to start somewhere might as well start here

'Understands the club' what does that even mean?

Yeah. Expand.

I understand the club,. Make me manager.
