The Night-Owl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 DC to be owner/manager with Bullen or someone more experienced as assistant? So we can use the compo to get Hector back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd never manage us he lost a relative in the disaster so I very much doubt he would want to manage at Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a manager won promotion 5 or 10 years ago, we assume they have a magic recipe, when in truth football is evolving quickly in terms of tactics, conditioning, speed of play etc. I can see merit in looking for who is up and coming, who is successful right now. For that reason and in consideration of style of attacking football and recent promotions, would like to see Cook and/or Stendl seriously considered. Could understand Hughton, his CV is impressive, and as an established, experienced option about as good as we could get, but none of the other names are particularly exciting. That's my thinking too. Well said. If it's not Hughton, then I can see the reasoning behind following the latest trends of managerial appointments. By ignoring the usual out of work old school managers with long CVs. And instead going for a forward thinking or out of the box, long term type of appointment. Recently retired high profile players, foreign imports or managers in the EFL on the rise. Personally I'd go all out for someone like Paul Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hughton for me. Failing that, a good up and coming manager would do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true but never mentioned. There are loads of now forgotten managers who looked like the next Ferguson for a couple of years. Maclaren is an example of anther breed who seem to keep getting jobs but have never done anything. It's a heck of a job picking a winner. Hughton is the direct opposite of Bruce, a principled man who acts with dignity and has the experience, though, as stated above, thats no guarantee. United took a chance on Wilder and we could take a chance on Cowley. Same backgrounds with success at lower level, but climbing all the time.

At Rangers the worst he should do now that they have given him some backing is 2nd to Celtic who have all the money in that league. If he gets one over on Celtic then he will be a hero.

Exactly, think it's the best way to go about it if we can't get Hughton, the next best thing or smartest option would be someone on the rise. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/frank-lampard-chelsea-manager-fast-track-job-end-english-old-guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grez Bez Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 If like Hughton but a part of me wants to see what Danny Cowley could do. I know it hasn't worked fir us in the past but just get a good feeling about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky reporter said nobody at the club had confirmed or denied anything. A good tactic. Get the work done then tell people about it. No guessing. No bull. Just tell it how it is and when it is. That's the proper and honourable way to do things. Mr Chansiri seems to be gaining popularity and he hasn't said a word or appeared in public. Good man sir. Respect. Please make sure you get the next appointment right for us fans. You won't please us all but all we want is a manager that gets results and keeps the players and yourself going in an upward direction. He has probably learned that whatever you say certain individuals will always look for worst in it so best to say nowt. Have Newcastle said anything? If it hoes to court the more you have said the worse it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Didn’t the Cowleys turn down West Brom? If so I doubt they’d come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Really don’t want Zola. We don’t have the players he needs just as Birmingham didn’t. If we go domestic there must be number of more sensible choices. If we go abroad again I think we’d speak to Labbadia again as he was heavily linked pre Jos.
