Swiss Toni Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm not a Carlos out fan but he does frustrate me. I think we had our best chance of going up last season when we carried a bit of the unknown with us as dark horses. If at the end of the season DC does decide to change things then I hope we get in someone British who knows the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) While it won't be out of the question that Carlos might lose his job if we miss out on promotion, I do feel it's unlikely. Mr Chansiri seems to like stability, and as long as there has been progress, Carlos should continue. The problem for Carlos, and it's one of his own making, is how can he convince DC that progress has been made. Obviously, promotion would do it. Losing in the final, and he'd still be walking a tightrope, given the lack of entertainment on offer this season. Personally, as long as we reach the play offs, I'd be happy to go again with the Portuguese, on the proviso that he returns to the high tempo attacking football of last season. From DC's point of view, I'd insist that there can be no more wholesale recruitment, and a more targeted approach is needed. For me, we are too far into the project, to make an about turn, but we really do need to establish a clear identity, and operate a more streamlined squad Edited March 12, 2017 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I would hope it doesn't end acrimoniously with Carlos....been like a breath of fresh air for the most part...and on the whole, its been decent football. Now down to 9 matches....then what?..Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly set the world alight in his management career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 John Sheridan?! The only result would be another ruined legend. Carvalhal isnt doing a bad job, there is just room for improvement. If he gets us to another play off final then job done in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I don't see us ever appointing a British coach under Chansiri unless it's from within. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athelwulf Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 37 minutes ago, NorthernOwl said: But this approach only works if we have a replacement lined up who is an improvement on Carlos. The worst possible thing we could do would be sack Carlos and appoint someone simply on the basis that we might benefit from a new manager bounce. What happens if we appoint someone like Rowett just because he's available and then don't go up? We are stuck with him then. If we wait until the summer we will have a stronger idea of what the best course of action is with regards to Carlos (i.e. we go up he stays, we miss playoffs he goes). And there will be more and better options available in terms of available replacements if that turns out to be the route we go down. Well, we can't know that, and Chansiri is hardly likely to broadcast what he thinks privately. Mandy would have looked behind the scenes I think, but Chansiri's an unknown quantity. My reasoning is based on two assumptions (a) we're a top six side based on our playing staff, and (b) we're not going up this season under Carlos, and he'll be gone in the summer anyway. Even if we got someone no better than Carlos, at least it would be someone different to Carlos. Different tactics, a man without favourites who'd make us more unpredictable.

Dagmeister Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 When Carlos leaves I've no idea who should replace him. I have every confidence though that the powers that be within the club will use their football contacts and other considerable resources to scour for the best fit.
