Not sure Steve Morison has the political diplomacy for management, especially at a club like Crawley.
What made him an incredible gladiator for Millwall was that he had a low tolerance threshold, he demanded more from those around him and dragged the team with him.
But I'm not quite sure how well that skillset translates to management, without significant evolution, and I have the impression - fairly or otherwise - he's still as a character fairly similar to how he was as a player.
For that sort of role you've got to be selfless and patient.
You've got to try and represent the club's perspective in all external interactions, even when you don't personally agree with it, because you're the figurehead holding it all together.
Now, there are one or two managers I could think of who have been successful shooting from the hip, but it's very rare and they're typically at stable clubs.
I find Moro to be a trifle impatient, and I gather Raphael Khalili's leadership style is a bit circuitous and indirect, so I reckon that will annoy the hell out of him, tensions will boil and that tends to only end one way.
Possible short-term lift, but I don't see a viable long-term working relationship between the two of them.
I feel Moro can make a positive contribution to football working with players, because I think he can rub off on them with his driven mentality, but I wouldn't want to put him near a political role.
Crawley have made an approach to Steve Morison to become their next manager.
League Two bottom side sacked Colin Kazim-Richards this week with Kevin Blackwell made interim boss.
Ex Wales striker Morison managed Cardiff in the Championship before spells at Hornchurch & Sutton
@NathanBent84261 I remember that interview after Colchester at home, when he ripped into that poor young female journalist, who had just asked a basic question. Seems like a loose cannon.
What an astonishing tenure Andy Woodman has had at Hayes Lane!
Two promotions, including a Football League title, and the FA Trophy in a five-year stint.
His side were unbelievably good out-of-possession in League Two last season, and weakened the opposition performance with impeccable consistency due to their collective resolve and organisation, and were a nightmare to face from set pieces.
In some ways, a victim of his own success.
Had Bromley still been in League Two making incremental progress year-on-year, he's probably still in a job.
So, some would argue he's almost been punished for taking them so quickly to a level that the club probably doesn't quite have what it takes to compete at just yet.
Having said that, I'm also open-minded to the possibility that there might be more than performances and results contributing to this parting of ways.
Woodman's record is extraordinary, whichever way he's gone about it, but it's possible that minor question marks in areas like attendance contributed to this mutual parting of ways.
There may have been one or two logistical imperfections last season that might have flown under the radar when everything was going so well that, I just wonder, might have become more problematic when results aren't everything.
Nonetheless, he's done an extraordinary job.
A fantastic motivator and man manager, who will go down as one of the most influential figures in the club's history.

@brommmm Spent a bit of time in America in-season last year I gather. Fantastic man manager and motivator in terms of the games themselves but I suspect his attendance record is lower than other managers.
@LaurenceCombyne Yes, that’s fair. After everything you’ve been through, you’re probably not going to give up stakes outside the immediate Wimbledon family willy nilly
Fantastic prospective news at Wimbledon.
Ivor Heller, Erik Samuelson, Mick Buckley and… no, I’m not going to name the whole fanbase, lots of people, have worked unprecedented miracles to create the PLC in 2002 and get the club to where it is today.
Dons have probably hit their ceiling of what’s possible under fan ownership, so a group that buys into the ethos of the club, whilst having the funds to take it further, is as close as you can get to the ideal scenario.
The fact they’re willing to accept a minority stake for a reported £87M commitment over five years is an enormous green flag.
So excited for the fans.

AFC Wimbledon will present an option to members that will aim to secure the long-term financial future of the club:
- Club remains majoritively Trust-owned (50.01%)
- Investor Omar Mir will invest £87m over five years
- Trust keeps control of stadium freehold
@LaurenceCombyne I think financially it’ll be very difficult for the club to have a sustainable future above League One with 100% fan ownership - how do you see it?

@Jimbokav1971 I don’t know about that, but I did feel they brought in too many players rather than keep the cohesion and synergy of the pre-existing group. What do you think @bromleywithlove?
@erbromleyfc Wouldn’t disagree. I just think they may be additional factors at play as if it was just about performances and results then, as you allude to, it would be extremely harsh.
