Inspector Lestrade Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 4 minutes ago, Quist said: Have a read of Paul cook thread I explained my stance in that thread. I would like to see what your thoughts are and reasoning behind them. The fans and my self want a manager who will give the club a lift just by appointing him, I don't think the signing of Paul Cook would enthuse the fans despite his record. He needs to manage a smaller championship club before managing us (a tad arrogant there) and prove himself, make himself a name. A good shout but wrong time in my humble opinion. DC needs a manager to get the fans back onside (I'm onside already). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It's going to happen. We'll be known worldwide for having such handsome managers. He'll be voted sexiest man in football in 18/19 season as he guides us to be run away leaders in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ambitious and would be a stylish appointment. I’m still not sure that’s what we need though given that this league is an acquired taste and he’s yet to experience it. Yes, but when someone asked Nixon a week or so ago if Chansiri was looking for someone else, he described the target as "too big". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Fonseca would soft-soap the likes of FF, which is what's required. This bluff northerner routine doesn't tend to work with these Latin prima donnas...as Danny Boy discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally would like someone who knows leagues in England going outside this to smaller leagues in Europe is even greater risk. All fans will be onside when we start progressing. It is not something which generally works and success is more easily to predict with a quantity which is known. No expert on Ukranian football so do not know standard but substantially different to English I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the biggest coup in our history if we landed this guy. It would be an unbelievable appointment. We won’t land him mind. I reckon it will be Karanka! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No expert on Ukranian football so do not know standard but substantially different to English I would imagine. I take your point here but Santo isn’t doing so badly (was he managing in Portugeuse league). There’s a lot of English managers who would jump at last 16 in the Champions League. I’ve watched some clips today and from what i’ve seen Fonseca has got Donetsk playing some great football. It’s certainly the case that the Championship is a tough league and it suits Warnock style coaching but quite a few teams like Watford and Brighton (even udders last year) have done it playing good attacking football. I think (hope) we’ll see more of this so if it’s not just paper talk he gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season you would have laughed off suggestions that Santo would be at Wolves. Yes especially how busy he can be at Christmas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If this is the calibre of manager we are looking at then I'd be having Julian Nagelsmann on my list without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Would be an incredible appointment, only manager in world football to beat Pep in a competitive game for over six months. It seems totally unrealistic but we're still in pretty uncharted waters when it comes to DC and appointing managers, he's only had one stab at it and didn't do a bad job the first time around. He's clearly got money and connections, let's see how far he can push them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Don’t know much about Fonseca, what’s his record like? Am open-minded who the next manager should be, would lean toward someone with championship experience preferably. Brendan Rodgers would be my first choice, never going to happen though.

With you totally on this, we need a change away from what we just had. I know little about the chap and i suspect until his team beat Manchester City so did most others.
