Much as I would rather not see Coleman and Bell back in charge, I fear they will increasingly look the best option for a variety of reasons.

And therin is the main crux of the matter. Chesterfield have all the info they need to prize away our better players. A bloke who awarded and negotiated the majority of their contracts and an assistant who has got the best out of them when the "chips were down" so to speak.
Personally, I think Richardson has the makings of being a much better manager than Cook will ever be. Which makes Leam's decision to go working as his number two baffling and all the more unpalatable.
Now if we make a quick appointment of Coley & Bell, maybe, just maybe they would manage to persuade key players that it would be worth hanging around at the Crown for another season to be part of a revolution so to speak. I'm sure they could probably bend player's ears about making them better players.
And add to that Coleman has proved countless times already is an alchemist when it comes to nurting undiscovered talent.....
I'm no bookie and as yet haven't seen any markets offered for our next manager by any of the bookies, but I'd imagine Coleman ( & Bell ) will be massive odds on favourite for the job.
