Thing is he isn't for me i think Keane is better than that, he took Sunderland from bottom of the league to champions and like McCarthy his work at Ipswich is looking better than it was at the time, but understand hes not everyone's cup of tea Sad thing is there isn't that many realistic targets out there, if DC does get to that stage then it will be an out of work manager because we cant afford compo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Soul Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 He has the knowledge of the league we desperately need. He also has the personality that our club needs. Our fan base always warms to big character managers (regardless of success or not) . The knock on effect is fans reconnect with the club (again regardless of success), however at that point momentum begins to build again. The sour atmosphere disappears from the stands. Confidence begins to flow. He wouldn't be my first choice in football terms but the job is much bigger than just success on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 It's all about matching the manager to the job, at that time. The club needs a lift, and a personality. Holloway would be a very good choice. I'm sure the likes of Jokanovic and Moyes, etc etc, are tactically stronger, but it's not all about that. Holloway could do a similar job, with the club, that Sturrock did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was our next manager though, I would like a defensive coach to come with him. Maybe Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the league, is well connected, a strong personality and most importantly has successfully gained promotion to the Prem twice before. He's the type that would relish the challenge, get the players organised and putting a shift in. I read earlier that he'd recently thrown his hat into the ring. DC, call him, call him now. Him and Chansiri??? Can see oli takin it all in. NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is he isn't I’m not sure about that like ? Roy Keane led Sunderland back to the premier league winning championship manager of the year in the process , the bloke can clearly manage a football club very week Average at Ipswich I’ll give you that ... but he was far from a disaster at a club that’s never really going to challenge for me Strong assistant for ROI, and did a bit at Villa under Lambert for a while Personally I’d absolutely love him at Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would. Over the years he's revealed his soft spot for us too so I think he'd come. I've a feeling that it's not money that motivates him either.

Weshallovercome Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 So we're all agreed, it's Holloway? It's good to see we're all lowering our expectations to a reasonable level, it's advisable and for the best. Guess he wouldn't be anybodies first choice, but he's likeable and got a decent track record, doubt he'd take the job to be honest, doubt he needs the hassle, but he'd do me.

LoadABallacks Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wouldn't be a bad choice to be honest. I always think the managers that do well at Wednesday are those with a bit of charisma about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I’m not sure about him, seems to occasionally do well after a massive turnover of short term fix players, but it never lasts That’s exactly the situation we find ourselves in now, do we really want to go there again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 He’s probably one of the best of the second best, and that is where we should be looking, at least he would put his heart and soul into the job. Now how do we let DC into our little secret, because if he ain’t in on it it can’t happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wouldn't be my first choice, but at least he'd bring a bit of enthusiasm to the job. Just a bit wary after his difficulties with Millwall and to a lesser extent QPR. Got to be better than Burt Reynolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
