He will be working for sky in a few months and prob on as much dosh. To be fair if you take an average championship club and add the loan players they got in Mount, Wilson and Timori you are going to improve it massively aren’t you. I do like Lampard but he was massively helped by his status in the game and connections.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like every season for the last zillion they failed to go up..even with a massive name like lampard and his big connections..seems to me he was just the same as the previous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Nixon claiming that we're 'still taking names' and 'new ones coming up all the time'. Not sure if that's a good or bad statement TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domSWFC Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'm not really sure how a typical "Rowett team" plays. Can anyone shed any light on how you'd expect us to play under him? Looking at his stats he's won more games than he's lost at every one of his jobs. Also in his full season at Derby he had a better points per game ratio than Lampard had.

Not sure if that's a good or bad statement TBH. In other words, Nixon knows as much as the rest of us ie nothing, and is keeping his option open.

George Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I wonder if all the people who don't judge Rowett on his failure at Stoke are the same ones who call Paul Jewell a terrible manager because he was gash with us but great everywhere else. Personally I don't judge Rowett on his time with Stoke because it was clearly a poisoned chalice. However his failure to win anything or ever get promoted at his three previous clubs is what I do hold against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I can’t help but think Pulis might be our best bet to gaining promotion Apart from at Middlesbrough, he’s done an excellent job everywhere he’s been, especially so at Stoke city. His sides are extremely strong at the back, well organised and fit. Nobody was complaining in the 80’s when Wilkinson dragged the club up playing this way. Sometimes it’s about getting the job done, not how pleasing on the eye it is Edited July 24, 2019 by Stoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But "success" is relative, didn't win anything at Burton but did a bloody good job, at Birmingham took them from bottom of league to pushing for play off spot before harshly sacked to appoint zola. At Derby they were challenging all season without spending much. Just had bad luck with injuries running upto play offs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 TP? Yikes. Gary Megson is the thinking mans Tony Pulis. If you are going for a Bilko style “everyone has to be 6foot two minimum apart from Andy Blair/ Barry Bannan we may as well sound the Unicorn horns around Grenoside and bring back the Ginger Messiah. #unfinishedbusiness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupremeOwl Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'm not really keen on any of the names brought up other than Hughton and GVB so I don't have a clue what we do tbh. I do feel for Chansiri for this, probably our most important managerial appointment considering the current circumstances and there is quite possibly the worst pool of candidates available, so much so that anyone we go for will just be getting a job because they are the least worst. This whole situation is awful tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc1983 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Quite revealing that there is no ITK journos or the usual jokers on here about this. The bookies are laying different favourites every other day trying to milk the market. Literally nobody has a scooby who or what Chansiri is thinking or doing. Hopefully he’s got something up his sleeve and sharpish would like something ideally before the weekend but I can understand why he is not rushing this as it’s a big appointment in a seemingly underwhelming market place. This may rumble on a while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be way,way,way down on my list of possibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
