shandypants Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Due to health reasons, Brian Laws has permanently retired from football management but I’d love to see him back at the club in an advisory role. “Absolute Tosh!” I hear you cry but please hear me out. He’s a Northerner. He understands Northern fans sentiments and sensibilities. Listen to his co-commentary on RS - he gets it. He hits the nail on the head all the time in his appraisal of the game and the players. He speaks our language in that respect. He’s been around provincial clubs all of his career. He’s got no delusions of grandeur - he’s knows what is required to make such clubs tick and he knows the type of player required. He knows Sheffield Wednesday. He know us fans; what buttons to press; what turns us on. How many other of our managers could you see running down the touch line after we scored against the pigs - I honestly believe it was a sincere and uncynical reaction when he did that. He created an excellent team with fvvck all money. Ok, it’ll never happen but whether it’s Jos or someone else that leads our team, we as fans, need to be placated in some way. Could Brain Laws be the man to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'd have just about anybody who's ever been involved with football in an advisory role above those Spivs that have had the hand at our tiller for the past 3 years. But it's never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - right Jonah he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Sounds like something we’d do.....go from two foreign coaches people didn’t understand to an English one that can’t string a sentence together.

To be fair I could barely string a sentence together as I saw the second goal unfold! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Even Scunny and Grimsby got rid of him. Yes, he had one good season here. Carlos had two. The club needs to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Stopped reading at he’s a northerner. This is the type of thinking we need to avoid. I think we just need someone with the right ability to motivate players we have, no matter where he’s from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryPlopper Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) I don't advocate this, but we do need a British manager at the helm, one who can talk to both the players and fans alike. I'm fed up of having to second guess what has been said with the last two managers, so i'm confident a lot is lost in translation to the players.

shezzas left peg Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) I would, if he came in as director of football with a Haslam, Heckingbottom, hurst in as head coach to learn off him and do the training ground dirty work. Though I think meggo or Pearson would work too in a similar role. We need to start building and looking to the future as a club, not looking to the past, but drawing from it.
