We need to show more ambition and think outside of the box. Looking at the latest managerial trends, if these names are true, we're several years behind the more forward thinking ambitious clubs. I genuinely hope the rumoured shortlist is untrue because we should be thinking more along the lines of Bielsa and Cocu. High profile managers are attracted to the Championship with the possibility of advancing to the PL. I'd show some ambition and go for GVB or someone similar. Forget the typical names and yesterday's men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlInCardiff Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Quote Monk initially left Birmingham with his stock still high after a difficult campaign for the club off the pitch. But allegations about his conduct both there and at Middlesbrough, his previous employers, have since seen his character called into question. What did Monk do to have his 'character called into question'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) If there's anything we should have learnt from our last three appointments. It's that the managerial appointment is far more important than transfer signings. The one thing all three had in common was multiple sackings/job hopping. We have to get this appointment right to build upon the work done by Bruce. A manager with a long CV, may look good on paper but there's usually a reason for their job hopping and for them being out of work. I'd be thinking of someone more forward thinking and on the rise, than managers who were decent a few years ago or several years ago. There's a reason most clubs today are ignoring the typical names and old school out of work managers, that find their way onto every betting list. There's more to be said of thinking outside of the box or being more forward thinking and ambitious. There are managers and coaches out there, who could be attracted to the Championship to build and progress from Bruce, we need to be more ambitious and forward thinking.

OxonOwl Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I am not sure there is any point in appointing Bullen as manager. Just let him caretake for a bit. See how he does, see who else might become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
