Third highest in their history (and currently marginally higher than Potch). Where is Carlos on our list of managers..? Stats don't always paint the full picture. AVB football would be as ponderous as Carlos'. We need a change in philosophy; more offensive, dynamic, and physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthepig Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Mr Chansiri....or whoever reads Owlstalk on your behalf.....we don't need a 'sexy' manager. We need an experienced, tough, proven manager who has kept clubs in this Division and got promoted from it. We need someone that will play attacking football and get the fans behind him. We need someone who has the knowledge and contacts to STOP YOU WASTING YOUR MONEY by building a team that has a mix of experience and younger, up and coming players who will have sell on value. Paul Lambert fits this bill.....stop dicking about chasing unattainable, money-chasing 'names' and get him in while the January window can still help us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appointing him would be a very very expensive mistake. Making expensive mistakes lies at the very heart of what we're about. It's how we roll. What we don't know about wasting money ain't worth knowing. We'd even put Sheffield City Council to shame. It comes as naturally to us as breaking and entering does to a Blades fan.

If it was April and we sat safely in midtable then I could stomach it. But it's the turn of the year, we are in shocking form and the caretaker has all but admitted he's not up to the job. Time to stop fannying around and get a bloke in ASAP who can sort this all out! FFS Absolutely no argument from me, mate. I'm hoping we'll get someone in this week, let them get a feel for the squad at Carlisle, because BL will be a baptism of fire. Plus each day we delay is a day lost to the new manager to get new faces in, ship old ones out, etc. Edited January 3, 2018 by axolotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many of these merry go round experienced British managers have done it recently For the most part, it’s been foreigners with little or no experience in the championship, who have impressed Also, packing our squad with experienced championship players, hasn’t exactly served us well has it We need to appoint the best manager we can get, whether he’s experienced, or not, British or overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Bale money being squandered, and he loaded up on defensive mids and no.10s. Very turgid football. Carlos MKII. No ta, keep ya fancy name. I think he’d be a poor appointment in the cold light of day. I cant base it on his stats or anything like that, just that he is generally used to having money to spend and players who are usually technically better than most others in the respective league.

He thinks Lambert was good for them and shafted by the owners. He played positive football and Ges would have him back anytime. Thanks that’s quite interesting as backs up my feeling that the wolves fans who were happy to see lambert leave were likely distracted by his Villa connection and not what he actually achieved for them. Plus they had the excitement of the owners spending money so probably were looking forward to a “big name” appointment instead. I hope Chansiri is seriously thinking about hiring him, if a suitable “big name” doesn’t want our job anytime soon Edited January 3, 2018 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Quote Dan: initial memories were bad although on reflection he was a good manager as he took us (Wycombe) to the league cup semis where I got to watch both legs live, and got us to the playoffs but after missing out he walked out and ended up at one of our largest Conference rivals Colchester which didn't help our memories. So good manager but too ambitious so will walk out when something better comes along. Comments from a Wycombe supporting mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant base it on his stats or anything like that, just that he is generally used to having money to spend and players who are usually technically better than most others in the respective league. Actually, his first job was to save a side from relegation: Académica[edit] At the start of the 2009–10 season, Villas-Boas left Mourinho's team to pursue a career as a manager, and he soon found a job in the Primeira Liga with Académica de Coimbra, filling a vacancy created by Rogério Gonçalves' resignation in October 2009.[15][16] At the time of his appointment, Académica were at the bottom of the league and still without any wins, but their luck started to change as he introduced a new style, leading them to a safe 11th place, ten points clear of the relegation zone. In addition to that, Académica also reached the 2009–10 Portuguese League Cup semi-finals, losing against Porto at the Estádio do Dragão to a late goal from Mariano González. His impact at Académica was immediate, not only because of solid results, but also because of the attractive football displayed by the team, which led to intense media speculation linking him with the vacant jobs at Sporting CP and FC Porto in the summer of 2010.[15] Obviously, we're hardly likely to get him, but you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at Lambert's record, he does appear to be the best of those available. Seems to have the capability to keep the club in this division for now and to mount a serious promotion push next season. There aren't many other truly inspiring names on the horizon and Paul Lambert does have a record of achievement. Go for it Mr Chansiri before it's too late!

Lincowl Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If he had an issue with player recruitment at Wolves he would be unlikely to accept our methods. Not a club that suits a proper manager who wants to have full control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
