Carlos played sexy football and had relative success, he gradually tightened up, performances got worse and so did results. Frustration stemmed from moving to negative football combined with negative results. IF this guy plays conservative football but wins, I'm sure it will be better received - we're starting out from a baseline of dull already.

Semedo's ferret Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Sounds exactly what we need. Back to basics approach with the German touch. Strong, hardworking, Safe but having the quality to win games. Can't wait for him to sink his teeth into Liam Palmers belly, Loovens' lacklustre leadership attitude and the overcrowded medical room.

Walt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) He sounds very similar to Megson in tactics and attitude which then automatically begs the question “why not go for Megson then”? If you were looking for traits in a manager that both seem to possess and without getting in to the hilarious cult shyte I don’t see why wouldn’t employ the bloke on your doorstep who has a good understanding of our present predicament. Don’t get me wrong Megson wouldn’t have been my choice, it’s just that I can’t follow the thought process. Edited January 5, 2018 by Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Deary me. Some of the posts in this thread are great. I'd hazard a guess that 99% of Wednesday fans of NEVER heard of him yet he's already not good enough. Look at the guys CV. He's managed much bigger than us and his record suggest he's succeeded EVERYWHERE he's been. Whether its free flowing football or a conservative approach... Either/or, you get 3 points for a win. I'm really excited by this appointment. I like the unknown. From what i've read he seems a disciplinarian. If you watched Wednesday against Burton (or most games this season) surely you realise thats EXACTLY what we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me how many players have left Brentford for The Premier League? Can you tell me how many times Brentford have reached the Play Offs under Dean Smith? Can you tell me how many times Dean Smith has achieved promotion at any club in his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im more than willing to give this bloke a chance. but a lot of people either have short memories or selective memories as boring football was Carlos worst faults.

sheffsteel Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 They spoke to the regular guest European footballl expert on Talksport radio last night at about 1.10am. The presenter explained that someone called Jos Luhukay is currently the favourite for the Sheffield Wednesday job. This expert replied that Luhukay is Dutch but has worked mainly in the German leagues at some big clubs such as Hertha and Stuttgart. He also said and I quote “He has a reputation for playing dour football but has a good record for gaining promotions”. All appointments are risks, so would take past performances/ reputations with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 If he plans on doing man-to-man marking he'll need to get the fitness levels considerably higher as from what I've seen lately all the other teams seem fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drones club Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Dour doesn't get relegated. Disorganised does. Dour shouldn't be a pejorative term. Isn't Mourinho inclined to be dour? Wasn't the invincible Arsenal team less than expansive? Dour can be relentless and serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Well if he can sort out fitness and Conditioning then that’s half the battle imo. There is enough talent here - it just needs proper management, something it hasn’t really had since The PO final. The write up isnt bad - it’s a still a risk but looks a more qualified one than taken with CC. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point though. Need to be solid first and go from there, I'm behind him if he is indeed the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
