Guest wilyfox Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 There will always be a section of our fanbase that want the next young hotshot manager in charge. Personally, I just want someone who knows what they're doing and can take us back to the league we've missed for 20yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the likes of Pulis; Rowett, Monk, Ollie, Zola, Coleman, Cooper, etc. I'd avoid has beens, those who've done nothing or failed numerously and those with multiple jobs or sackings. My first choice would be someone like Hughton or Jokanović but if we can't get the likes of them I'd love for us to show some ambition and forward thinking by going for the likes of Gio or Tedesco. If there's no chance of attracting them, I'd go the Villa route and go for someone on the rise like Cook or Neil for example. I think there are better candidates out there available or in work, abroad or already over here, who we should consider. Instead of the usual names and failures, I'd like us to be ambitious or more progressive/forward thinking. However, whoever gets it, will have a tricky job without a pre-season with our squad to assess and recruit, etc. They'll probably have to work with the squad as it is or will need time to implement their methods, etc. Edited August 1, 2019 by The Night-Owl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those wanting the yesterday's men (the likes of Pulis or Ollie, etc) or the serial failures with no promotions (i.e. the likes of Rowett or Monk) have no ambition and got sunstroke or something. The ones calling for managers who are unsuitable replacements, short-sighted or a bad fit, will probably be the first ones calling for their heads when they don't work out. The cycle will continue with short term thinking or lack of forward thinking or a bad fit. Hope we show some more ambition and/or forward thinking, and get it right, whoever we get. However, with a lack of pre-season, etc whoever gets it, whatever they calibre will need given a chance and support, due to the timing.

Ancient is an understatement, £75 for a season ticket, £60 for home and away shirt, £15 for away tickets, £25 for a puma king jacket suppose they truly were the good old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ozzie Owl now 7-1, Ollie Owl out to 12-1. John Sillett coming in at 10-1. Someone’s obviously lumped a load of cash on the ex Coventry maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett is hardly a serial failure, the only place he hasn't had success is at Stoke and that's a club with problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or looked at another way, the only place he’s had success was Burton. He’s done OK at some of the other places, but shouldn’t we be looking for more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I don’t feel Rowett is the man to inspire our club to promotion, hope I’m wrong. Seems more like a stop gap appointment. Safe hands etc. Let’s see what happens though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
