We could either go for it short term or build for it longer term? Either way could work but after being left in the lurch by Bruce, the next appointment as to be not only right but the right fit more than short term. If this season isn't going to be another write off and if the futures going to be bright. That's why I'm in two minds, about either going proven Championship experienced again or freshening things up with a more long term plan with a younger EFL manager on the rise? Both options might work and be more sensible than going abroad for someone with no EFL experience or little EFL knowledge? Both options have risks but I can see positives in going for either way about it. I think there's a few good options out there, my first preference would be Hughton, would big Sam be interested?,Gary Monk younger option, my worry is DC coming up with some obscure appointment, hopefully he's learnt his lesson.

Waddlesdiamondlights Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The best thing Bruce has done is to make sure the players have come back from pre season fit and raring to go. I'm sure those players will want to prove to him he's made a mistake if he goes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my main fear too. Maybe out of frustration over losing Bruce after all he did to bring him here by allowing him his time off he needed before he took charge. There's the possibility that DC might decide to go back to appointing obscure yes men type appointments from abroad with no EFL experience or knowledge. That would be a step backwards and a huge risk? I'd try and avoid washed up merry-go-round types too. Hughton would be the smartest option out of the names you mentioned. Big Sam and Moyes types would probably be too expensive, I'd also avoid the likes of McLaren, O'Neill and Pulis for doubts about being washed up, whilst the likes of Monk and Rowett, seem to me like British versions of Carlos hopping between jobs whilst going through short good spells and bad spells. For those reasons proven managers that achieved in the Championship such as the likes of Hughton or Jokanovic, would be a good fit? I'd go down that route without too much change or the managers on the rise in the EFL route, such as the likes of Alex Neil; Johnson, Stendel or the Cowley Brothers, etc for example, in order to build something more long term?

Why would he do that? It costs him money to get rid, Bruce leaving is the exact opposite, he'll be receiving money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they might seem to him a cheaper more reliable or controllable option or something along those lines? Hope he doesn't return to that way of doing things. Personally I think the best thing to do would be to go for proven Championship level quality again (such as Hughton or Jokanovic, for example) or to go the younger on the rise in the EFL route (such as Alex Neil, Stendel or the Cowley Brothers, for example).

swfc-dan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Absolute must to get him in. Houghton won't stay unemployed for long, another Champ team will soon get impatient and sack their manager a month into the season likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ironically, I always thought Houghton was unlucky to get the push at Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 If we do go for him and he's willing to come here? I hope he's the real deal and it's because he wants to be here and to become the legend that finally gets us back up. And not just here for a pay packet or a stepping stone onto bigger riches elsewhere like Bruce or Carlos. If he's anything like Bruce or Carlos? No idea if he is but if he or any other candidates are just like them, I'd avoid them. And go for someone who genuinely wants to be here and sees it as an opportunity to become a club hero. Maybe someone at a traditionally smaller club? Someone who hasn't managed a similar sized club? With no disrespect intended, if we can't get Hughton and if he wouldn't come here? I would go.for someone like Paul Cook; Alex Neil, Daniel Stendel or the Cowley Brothers or someone like that. Hopefully the Bruce saga is put to bed and we can crack on, move on, bring in someone who wants to be here, and build for the future with them.
