WalthamOwl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I didn’t even realise Rowett had managed Derby! Very poor at Stoke. 9 wins from 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 From what’s been uttered by former coaches, Stoke was an absolute mess when Rowett walked through the door. Id be willing to cut him some slack re his time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Rowett walked into a basket case at Stoke with a load of Billy Bigshots so unfair to judge him on his short period there. I think he'd do alright with us and he's a bit of a mardy arse that you like when he's on your side a bit like a lot of decent managers in that respect. I'd love Hughton but can't see it so Rowett is a decent Plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulture_squadron Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Rowett wouldn't be my first choice but think he could be an astute appointment. He played 442 at Birmingham which suits our squad currently, he also knows the division and players. A colleague of mine that worked at the FA said Rowett was very clued up and methodical.

westy365owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can we not look at the same set of managers that get mentioned everytime somebody gets sacked , monk, rowett karanka etc And look at somebody who's on there way up in the world like the cowleys at lincoln or guy at Barnsley or even paul cook always seems to play decent football The other option as I see it is that we give a someone there first job in management and someone like arteta ( and yes I know its unlikely he would come ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owltilidie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Derby mate of mine was always v positive about Rowett. Thought they had a proper manager and gutted when he went. I’d still prefer Hughton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC1Owl Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Other than Stoke, Rowett's record is pretty good. He wasn't popular at Derby despite basically doing as well as all other Derby managers - his conservative style of play wasn't the "Derby way". I was very pro him as a replacement for Gray. At this point, his appointment would feel underwhelming, but it wouldn't be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos aside, who was well backed unlike most of our recent managers, we got our best 'bumps' out of experienced managers like Sturrock, Megson, Jones and Bruce.

sonofbert2 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've been thinking that Rowett could be the right fit for what we need right now and an added bonus is folk can spell his fuckingname right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from my first choice, but available and must have something about him to be courted by decent Championship clubs. On the plus side, he knows the league and you never know might just be the right fit, things might click like at Birmingham. If Hughton doesnt want to come, dont think we should be begging and cant see DC pursuing an in work manager, considering the impact its had on us, losing our manager. He's never done so before, so unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki says (and this tallies with my memory), he asked for permission to talk to Stoke after the play off defeat, and there doesn't seem to have been any irregularity. I think it should be possible to distinguish between this and the sort of behaviour that Bruce has indulged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Rowett isn’t a bad shout. Did well at Birmingham, did ok at Derby but poor at Stoke but that was a very difficult job. I’d be happy with his appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
