Wouldn't know a cat in a red hat even if it shat in me flowerbeds. I'm colour blind. I don't know what colour that one-eyed cooking fat from next door is, but it regularly leaves me a deposit. And not one I can take to the bank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly gone ahead in the pecking order of names like Coleman, Pulis and the rest. Comes across as very knowledgeable, has other teams watched and acts on their recommendations. Playing attractive football, whats not to like? The test will come how he reacts to couple of bad results. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing, we don’t have the quality to expect more than a top ten finish, under any manager, so defeats will happen, so yes it will be how LB reacts to those defeats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing attractive football, whats not to like? The test will come how he reacts to couple of bad results. So far, so good. I've always liked Bully, obviously formed from his time playing for us. When he's had to step in and fill someones's shoes for a few weeks, he has always done so with little fuss or upheaval, and in his interviews he always comes across as calm, knowledgable and and a thinker too. I think he is deep to be honest, and there's nothing wrong with that. As for how he reacts to a couple of bad results - assuming he gets the role - many of us have seen that from him already, as a player. He doesn't come across as someone who will easily loose their head and will probably simply remind the players of their qualities, whilst addressing any issues with tactics etc. It happens to every manager and I am sure he will be fine. I can't see a team purely under Bullen going on a run like we had with Jos! I'm not saying he is the best man for the job, but there aren't many better placed at the minute, and that's credit to Bullen, not disrespect to the others.

So you think our squad is significantly worse than last season, I assume? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How you can compare him to “failures” with hundreds of games and playoffs/promotion on some cvs im not so sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it’s very similar, if we can improve by 10 points, that would be a decent outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets the job, and gets the sack, then what’s next for him? He is better off staying in the back room where he essentially has a job for life. If he gets into the management game though his pay and compensation could be life changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett is slightly different but he's nothing on his CV? Cowley, Rowett both had to start somewhere. Get Bullen a Stuart Gray type right hand man and i'd be happy with that.

Think Bullen and Rowett might be similarly but the latter has the experience of this league. Doesn’t have the promotions but has had a few playoff games at Burton and Derby. Birmingham sacked him when they were neck and neck with us for 6th and then they dropped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10 point improvement on that will see us top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko1992 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 We've won 2 games - beating 2 crap sides. We need a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a step back from the sentiment. When you’re losing millions a year and need promotion, I think it needs more than that. But ia change at the moment would need to be handled carefully as there is a good feeling about the place.

Once the injured players returned last season we did much better with the introduction of pace in the side I'm expecting top six or at least to be pushing for the top six.

basegreenowl Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If Bullen is to be kept in charge just give him the caretaker role for as long as it takes. Why appoint him? Ole S over at Man Utd was great in the caretaker role. Once appointed it went pear shaped. Just keep it ticking along as is DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
