Matt_1 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Well, no it isn't. But King Jos is still the 3rd most successful manager in the history of Bundesliga 2. And look who trails behind him in 6th place? He's not doing too bad for himself now, is he? He made the step up. Jos is the man. Jos will take us up. I'm putting £100 on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I must admit, since he's been here I've heard a few people refer to him as 'kin Jos as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't know much about betting But I'll have a pop If you put £100 on at 16-1 Pretty sure that means you will lose £100 Just kidding, I think he will take us up too, depending on how much leeway he gets with player recruitment this summer 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

BRADDO Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Strong teams coming down from the prem. It'll be a a difficult task to get into the top 6. Sadly, we'll never again be presented with the golden opportunity as in 2017. Beat Huddersfield and Reading to get promoted. FFS Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 English football fans are snobs, our league is probably technically worse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more worried about Wolves, Fulham, Cardiff and Villa (3 of those will defos go up imo), than I am about Stoke, West Brom and Southampton. I think next years league will be weaker.

striker Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Some good bargains in Germany who would cope with Championship football, as Huddersfield proved last season. If Jos stays, expect it is a market we would look at. Would also hope we use the loan market to better effect both here and in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 People may say its weaker compared. Maybe so. But isnt that irrelevent? Doesn't that make it harder to get promoted? Isn't it relative to the situation that all the teams seem to be closer in standard meaning its hard to get promoted. The top of Bundesliga 2 at the moment are dusseldorf and they have lost nearly 1/3rs of the games. (9 losses in 30). Doesn't that show its tougher with the resources available to get the teams over the line? You can't just say its an easy league because it isnt the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished behind Reading, and we would have finished behind Huddersfield as well if they hadn't been resting for the last month of the season. (And maybe if they hadn't had a man sent off in our home win against them in the regular season as well.) Nothing like the golden opportunity Brighton had against us, for example, when they lost after finishing 15 points clear of us. Also, Huddersfield, Brighton and Newcastle all look likely to stay up this season, so you can't say the three promoted sides look weak from that point of view.

So over an 18 year managerial career he has managed 178 matches or in England thats about 3 full season and managed 1.83 points per game Putting that into a championship season he would get 84 points in a season so just about make the play offs. I would be interest to compare Jos stats with some one like Steve Bruce or Chris Houghton for the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The championship is one of toughest leagues in Europe and think it takes a realgood manager to do well. Bundesliga 2 is not a good standard if you watch games some are really poor. however it is about blending a group of players together to function as a unit and if you can doit with players available in this league possibel to do elsewhere. keyisnot where you have managed but to have had repeated success at different clubs. Hence why Paul Cook and Paul Hurst were ggod shouts for managers jobs as they have done well at more than one club. Jos has shown he learns quickly as he was left with a right mess and he has moulded a team mainly out of those who had been discarded by previous incumbent and one which is showing unbelievable togetherness compared with how it was a few months ago. He has mended lots of fences but still a lot to do and unless we have influx of players next season will be difficult again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulsar Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 A great thread by the OP! I've always been fully behind Jos and got annoyed at some of the anti threads on here. Those stats are better than they appear because Jos has managed more games over a longer time than the rest so to maintain that average is quite something. I reckon our future is in good hands.

room0035 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Lets say thank you for keeping us up Jos but you don't have the cv we need to get a team promoted from the championship to the premier league. We then need to go and get Nigel Pearson, Steve Bruce or Gary Megson in. We need a ,manager with a proven track record of promotion from this league, one who improves the players he has, get them fit but can also build a team ethic and get rid of the dross that don't/can't play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
