It may well have done. Person who was telling me about it today said the general consensus was it was a crap refurb. Pinch of salt etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I think it’s got to be a household name. If another Jos Luhukay type strolls into middlewood I can see the players getting pretty demoralised very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 3 hours ago, The Night-Owl said: My thinking, is he might try something different, still got a hunch he might go with the latest managerial appointment trends. The trend seems to be to avoid out of work typical experienced types with long CVs and going with recently retired players, foreign imports who have been involved with fashionable clubs and lower league graduates or EFL managers on the rise. I'd go for someone like Paul Cook. Paul cook would buck the trend though as he’s experienced, has a long cv and is far from trendy. But his teams play some nice stuff.

A Strendel for instance isn't a big name, but you could see him coming in and making an impact. Probably wishful thinking that we will end up with someone like that though.

Apparently, the training ground underwent a major refurb on his request and is actually far worse for it. General gist is most of it was done in order for Bruce to have a larger office. Make of that what you will. Don’t know about that, but I doubt training ground refurb would make things worse. Bruce really isn’t the evil genius people are portraying him as. But I meant bringing in Agnew, Clemence, Strudwick and Downes for recruitment. Three shrewd signings too. Bruce was doing well here and we were in safe hands until this happened. Now I fear we will go back to relying on Chansiri’s advisor. I fear Chansiri will feel hurt by this and will maybe go back to his old ways of doing things. Bruce had more control than both Carlos and Jos. I don’t think the next manager will be given the same autonomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basegreenowl Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Betfair 16/1 for the Tinker Man, 9/1 Fatih Tekke, Van Bronckhorst 12/1 In no particular order. They've still got Chris Hughton 7/4 favourite. Holloway a whopping 50/1.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too early to say. Out of the possible candidates, I'd have gone for Hughton, but apparently that is a no-goer. If it was me, I'd be pushing for Strendel at Barnsley. Think he would bring some different. Edited July 15, 2019 by SiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one wont be happening but I am encouraged because this approach was the exact opposite of the Doyen / Paixao model. Fingers crossed we get this one right If it won’t happen can you say who it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
