Danny Cowley

Londoner Danny Cowley built his managerial reputation in charge of Lincoln City. He did wonders with Imps winning the National League in the 2016-2017 season; this secured Football League 2 status. In his second season in League 2, Lincoln was crowned champions after only losing 7 games all season. 

Because of this, he was headhunted by Huddersfield Town, who were looking to return to the EPL after being relegated in 2019. Cowley signed a three year contract in September of that year but only lasted one season. From there it was south to Portsmouth who were playing their football in League 1, he couldn't recreate his Lincoln accomplishments on the south coast and was sacked in January 2023. 

Recent vacancies at Aberdeen, Tranmere Rovers and Oxford United have all featured Danny Cowley in the bookmaker's betting list. 

Simon Grayson

Simon Grayson has now managed 9 clubs predominantly in the north of England. The Yorkshireman has won 4 promotions with Blackpool, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town, and Preston North End, 3 of those came via the playoffs. His longest spell in charge of any of the 9 was with Preston North End who he managed for 235 games. Over the years his time at clubs have become shorter with him lasting less than a season in his last 4 positions at Sunderland, Bradford, Blackpool (for a second time) and Fleetwood Town. He is currently with Indian Super League club Bengaluru FC who he joined in June 2022. 

Sam Ricketts

After a near 500 game playing career Sam Ricketts moved into management with National League side Wrexham in May 2018. He did well with the Welsh side who were competing for promotion before he jumped ship to manage Shrewsbury Town in the December of that year. Two very poor seasons with finishing positions of 18th and 15th were followed by The Shrews battling relegation in the 2020-21 season, after a winless run and with the club in 23rd place Ricketts was sacked in November 2020. It remains to be seen if he will return to football management. 

Ian Evatt

The central defender took his first job in football management as caretaker boss of Chesterfield United at the back end of the 2017 -18 season. In the summer of 2018, he secured his first full-time managerial role at National League side Barrow. 

He impressed at the Cumbrian side and won promotion back to the Football League after a nearly 50-year absence. On the back of this success League 2 side Bolton Wanderers made an approach for Evatt’s services and he joined them in July 2020.  In his first season, he won promotion for Bolton to League 1 after finishing in 3rd spot. His career could not have panned out much better (so far) and he was quoted towards the head of the next Blackpool Manager betting market when Michael Appleton was sacked by the Tangerines in January 2023. 

Robbie Stockdale

After a four-year spell at Grimsby Town as a player, Robbie Stockdale became the youth team manager. He was promoted to Joint Caretaker manager when Neil Woods was sacked in 2011. Along with Dave Moore, the pair were in charge for four games before a new manager was appointed. He moved to Sunderland in 2012 and took up a youth team role again. Over 3 years, he took caretaker charge of Sunderland when the Black Cats undertook a change of manager. Finally, in 2021 he got a full-time role as boss of Rochdale United, but after a dreadful start to the 2022-23 campaign, he found himself out of work. Most recently, his name was mentioned for the Hartlepool job (Stockdale was born in nearby Redcar) after Graeme Lee was given his marching orders. 

Kevin Nolan

After playing over 500 games, half of which was for Bolton Wanderers, he joined Leyton Orient as player-manager. Fourteen games in, he was replaced by Andy Hessenthaler by the owners. He moved on to League 2 club Notts County in 2017 again as a player-manager and was offered a permanent managerial contract in the East Midlands. After a poor start in the 2018-19 season, he was dismissed. Since then, he has assisted David Moyes at West Ham United. 

Pete Wild
