What are you basing that on? They've got more championship experience and are better known than Carlos was when he came here 2 and a half years ago.

Guest Dingle. Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Pep Ruiz, Paul Hurst, Nathan Jones, are the three I’d want on the short list at Oakwell if we were looking for a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are as inconsistent as Carlos and been no where near the Top 6 apart from Johnson who was there for a month or so last season before they careered down the league. I wouldn't bet against Bristol City doing the same this. Any one of the three would be a car crash waiting to happen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but I think anyone of those managers is as likely to take us down as up. Ex-Players very rarely succeed here as managers as both Heckingbottom and Smith are. Johnson would be a massive gamble. I don't think Carlos will be binned at the moment and there's a very good chance he'll still get the season. I think it's inevitable he'll leave sooner rather than later because he's lost the fans. There aren't many sticking up for him now if any? As for potential replacements there's more chance of Chansiri selling up than bringing in an old school British manager IMO? I think we'll go down the foreign route again but I'd like to see us take a chance on a decorated ex-player like Giggs, Scholes, Seedorf etc. but this probably won't happen either?

Night King Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Allardyce, Dyche, Laudrup mentioned in this thread. Any wonder our fans are widely seen as the most deluded in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thought Allardyce had practically retired, but he's not ruling himself out of a return to management if the job was right... http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41626593 Still very much doubt he'd come to us, but then again who'd have thought we'd ever get Big Ron...

Night King Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 So Michael Vaughan says Big Sam on Radio saying he’d take a Championship job, thought he announced he’d retired from club management. If it’s true ignore my above post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlscoops Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Big Sam is an absolute no brainer credentials at this level and would put this lot together to make a team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 If Big Sam is available, I'd take him in a heartbeat. This Job needs a big name manager and there aren't many bigger than Big Sam. His brand of football is not as bad as when he was Manager at Bolton. One thing for sure, he would get us in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axolotl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Can only speculate on Big Sam's psyche as I don't know the bloke, but I'd imagine a decent wage + a nice hefty promotion bonus could tempt him. After what happened at England, perhaps the chance to make himself a hero here could be an incentive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nilsson Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Allardyce would have respect of the players, would get best out of an excellent squad, would be a PR coup and is someone fans could relate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Chris Holt made a good point about our lack of leadership. He suggested Carlos’ management style of always protect the players might hinder anyone taking responsibility. I think this is a valid point as we’ve shown no character in the really big games, Brighton semi final excluded. He’s dodgy, He’s got heart problems and he’d cost a fortune but Big Sam would bring in a leader on the pitch, sort the leaky defence out and get them playing with heart. There’s no one else out there that you think ‘Yep - him’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalagaOwl Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Considering his record at this level and with the types of players we have. Big Sam all day. However if we want a punt how about a young English manager, three league promotions, a cup win, and got Uefa qualification. All for a tiny side. Granted it's in Sweden but Graham Potter could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, British, knows the league, plays football in the right way, brings through young talent and gets results. Not saying that guarantees him success at Hillborough, lets face it nothing does, but I think we could do a lot worse; keeping Carlos being one such option. worked out well so far him at Leeds small club manager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
