We need a Steve Bruce type of manager but less of a flippingpiece of poo snake. To go back to giving it to an unknown foreign manager or Bullen would be a ridiculous move from DC Edited July 29, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksyuto Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Ffs we went from Bruce a good manager to having a a coach in charge, not good this at all bullen isnt right for the managers role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two people negotiating best deal isn't something new. Your info is usually spot on pal so no reason to doubt. How likely is it that Hughton takes it do you think? Nixon seems to think foreign or Bullen. Edited July 29, 2019 by swfc1983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I wouldn't be happy if most of the candidates for the job are Portuguese. The southern European football style is totally different to Championship football. It's slower and more technical where ours is faster and physical. I've nothing against foreign managers but if we go down that route Northern European football is a much closer match. We need a manager who understands the English game and I think that is more likely with a German or Eastern European coach/manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good for DC to hurry back and get things sorted with a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two people negotiating best deal isn't something new. True, but it's to the detriment of the club. Lots of work still to do on recruitment in and out, which appears to be on hold pending a manager. I get that Hughton will see himself as a premier league manager and want good money, but if that's his sole motivation, is he the right choice? Is his heart going to be in it? It concerns me if the other options now seemingly back to presumably Paxo's random foreigners. I do not think that you can import a foreign manager into this league at this time of the year, experience is crucial. If that's the route we're going, may as well save a few quid and appoint Bullen (and I dont advocate Bulen at all, good coach, but not a manager) or run a raffle and pick someone from the kop to be manager for the day. Fed up with this now, we never start a season prepared, have glaring issues in the squad, not addressed again and no manager going into the season.

Yeah agree with this no doubt he knows his stuff but there is a genuine lack of info about this from anywhere so think he’s just putting snippets from agents together and trying to make a story.
