Bluesteel Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 1 hour ago, Dingle. said: Hahahaha yeah I bet he can’t wait to take over a team that aren’t set up in any way to play the style he wants to, a club that’s spent millions on players that are just brought in and shoehorned into a team, a club with players on so much money no one else would pay them, you stuck with some right poo until their contracts are up, I bet he can’t wait to get started hahahaha We have played that way before with a similar squad. Given there isn’t much time to adapt the team I wouldn’t want Stendel right now but don’t kid yourself he wouldn’t come here if approached. You also sold your entire defence and build a new untried one for the sake of a few quid (not big bucks in this market) so I wouldn’t be throwing those stones. Rowett or Houghton would be more suited to picking up where Bruce left off in my view. Style based on pace and physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 As I’ve said, Bruce was a steady hand on the tiller, and he was a good organiser, but that shouldn’t be difficult to replace. The foundations are there, we just need the right man to build on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 In fairness to Judas, I think he did start the foundations in organising the club etc etc i think now now we need a progressive manager , who can also develop & flourish and build a revolution id like us to go for Stendal from Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Bullen isn’t impressed. Is that dutch coach Jos brought with him still here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Chansiri wants a big name, won’t go anywhere near Stendel who I do think looks a decent manager but probably better served doing another season at Barnsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Womble Owl Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think Chansiri will give the job to bullen. There's no way we will poach a currently employed manager, we just can't afford it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Hector, who remember, was not a Bruce signing, we have all the basics in place. We then need to add 3 or 4 loans, that can give us a bit more attacking impetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Got to love the dingles. One good season in the pub league and suddenly they are playing billy big testicles. If we go in for their manager he will be off out of Barnsley faster than you can count on six fingers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate timing means that we don’t have time to appoint a new manager, and let him bring in a whole raft of his own players, then wait for them to bed in. Isn’t this what DC meant when he talked about continuity going forward, no matter who the coach is. The good thing is, Bruce hadn’t managed to impose any particular style Well not on last season’s evidence, although they may have been working on something this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foundations are there, we just need the right man to build on them Although I agree, we have to be careful who we appoint. We don't want or need another job hopping mercenary more interested in collecting big pay days rather than someone who genuinely wants to be here. The upheaval created by Bruce restructuring then jumping ship by back stabbing DC will have hurt DC after the respect and patience he showed Bruce in order to get him here. Short term a proven experienced manager like Hughton or just someone with some Championship experience and knowledge looks ideal. But we have to be wary, because Bruce looked ideal and he's jumped ship at the first opportunity. That's the difficult cut throat part in the modern game/business. Finding someone suitable, the right fit and getting them in is tricky in itself but there are risks to consider and this time whoever comes here needs to ideally want to be here and not just simply see it as another pay packet and stepping stone to being somewhere else where they want to be. That's why I'm fearing Bruce might have written the season off for us purely to fill his pockets and I fear we might make a similar mistake by hiring another job hopping mercenary or going for another obscure coach from abroad with no EFL experience or EFL knowledge. It's why I'd be careful who we go for even the ones that sound ideal are risky. Because we may not genuinely know that they genuinely want to be here. If we can't get Hughton, then I would go the long term up and coming route of someone younger and already in the EFL. I'd consider names that look like a gamble but managers on the rise rather than in decline. The likes of Alex Neil; Cook, Stendel, the Cowley Brothers, Cooper, Flynn, etc for example. Names that might not particularly stand out but seemingly on the rise; making a name for themselves, who might want to be here, seeing it as an opportunity to prove they can do a higher profile job and want to build something here?

steelcityowlsfan Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hughton seems the logical choice. Michael Laudrup would be an interesting choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
