modboy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'm as remain as it comes re the EU but really think we need a British coach who knows this league inside out. Hence why I'd choose Monk, Hughton, or Rowett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hughton’s a strange one Probably my first choice, from those mooted anyway, but still have reservations Hard to say whether our existing squad suits his style of play. His championship sides were very different to his top flight line ups In the championship, he played a 4-4-2 with two box to box central midfielders, and we don’t rally have those. He did always use an old fashioned centre forward to lead the line, the veteran Murray. We have a similar style of player in Fletcher. The main downside with the way he sets up was, Brighton don’t score enough goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) What about David Wagner? Forgot he was out of work after leaving Hudds. I'd be very happy with him, got a promotion with a suprise team and plays good football too. Could be a very nice fit, seems a likeable guy also. Way down at 25/1 which is very suprising.

I liked Wagner, and his use of the loan system was second to none His promoted Huddersfield squad contained 7 loan players, including Aaron Mooy, Kasey Palmer and Izzy Brown. He must have great contacts within the Premier League big six, certainly better than Bruce, that’s for sure Edited July 17, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 My last image of Bullen as a caretaker was him as good as in tears, virtually pleading verbally for DC to get his man following our getting stuffed at home to Burton. I think he's happy to coach, but being the boss is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who likes fast, forward passing football, not slow possession dross. That feels like a very short term approach. Why not choose someone with a clear vision of how to move the club forward over the next 5 years (something we don’t currently seem to have) and let them re-shape the squad where possible to achieve this? Also, no reason why quite possession football cannot be balanced with forward passing and high tempo. If not, might as well give the job to Pulis and suffer the consequences.

I completely take your point, but, I still stand by the comments I made about him ultimately being a better coach right now. Now learning along side a good manager is a different kettle of fish.

I’m not suggesting we should be happy with Championship football for next 5 years, just that we need a clear direction for the club that would see us established in the Premier League within 5 years.

Hoping we can pull a rabbit out of the hat I think what Bruce did, was to stabilise things when he arrived, I don’t think he brought a new dimension to our play. That’s not to knock the job he did, and let’s not forget Bullen’s role in that, but as long as we learn the lessons from that and look to keep some continuity. It really doesn’t have to be another Bruce clone, as long as the new guy doesn’t start ripping things apart. I really didn’t get the Jos appointment, it was obvious he ticked no boxes. If we can avoid that type of appointment, it doesn’t matter to me whether the new guy is British, or has championship experience, as long as he can work with the players that we have.

Hoping we can pull a rabbit out of the hat Agree with this. When we replaced Jos we could have replaced him with basically anyone and it was better than what we had before. The problem we’ve got here is DC got the perfect man in Bruce, now he’s gone where do you go from here? It ain’t going to be easy. For me I would do my best to get a young up and coming boss, I’d go for Arteta or GVB but would they come? I feel for DC here because he’s got his work cut out and probably can’t win.
