beloved_aunt Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Obviously didn't do well at Stoke, but been a success every where else, is still relatively young, knows the Championship, and according to Biggsy is desperate for the job. It could well work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say though, as soon as someone wins something it puts them out of reach for us for the foreseeable. To suggest we should only have winners as managers is a bit unrealistic. In football winning means trophies and promotions. Realistically our chances of signing that kind of manager would mean someone who didn't achieve it recently.

Markowski77 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I’m starting to warm to the idea of rowett - not my first choice what so ever but if he is appointed the Wednesday manager he will get my full backing regardless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully accept your thoughts but DC has to pull out all the stops to get someone who at minimum will achieve a top six place, maybe take a chance with Cowley or make an offer Hughton cant refuse (accepted easier said than done in his case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNHARKES Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Warming to the idea of Rowett myself. Not a fan in the past in terms of his bitterness in defeat mainly when at Birmingham! But did very well at Burton Birmingham Derby In difficult circumstances, didn't work at Stoke but a big rebuild there. Not my 1st choice or even in my top 3 but will get my full backing. And you never know it could just click. I do think we have to be happy with top 10 this season personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or three key additions whilst reducing our current striker options should give GR something good to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughdowd Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 This arrogance and cockiness that Rowett supposedly has is exactly what we need in our manager .....fed up of nice guy ..difficult to understand..bottle it .. type managers we’ve recently had ....if he gets the job .... get behind him and the team for f##ks sake ....wawaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Rowett have a bad record, albeit it might not be sparkling. He's not the worst on the list. His win% at Derby doesn't seem that bad, he ultimately got fired because they had a slump and didn't want to risk not reaching the playoffs(again). Frank came in and had the same win % (slightly lower in fact). Stoke was a different beast that perhaps no one was going to get a quick win there.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Not my first choice, but I wouldn't be against Rowett being our next manager - so long as we've tried everything with the more attractive candidates and failed. The football will be effective; we'll be hard to beat and work hard. His set up might get more out of Rhodes (if he stays), and the squad seems to fit in with the sort of players I'd expect Rowett to sign so minimal squad upheaval needed.

Rowett didn't get sacked at Derby - he left them last summer to join Stoke. I agree in not giving too much credence to the opinions of fans, but for what it's worth, the Derby fans I know rated him and weren't happy when he left. They can't stand him for leaving to join Stoke, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett's comments amount to "i took a huge gamble, threw 6 attacking players on and hoped for the best" ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If it is Rowett, it's kind of apt, when it's felt like we've been rowing, round and round in circles all summer long... Going round and round with the soft embargo; Bruce, compo and replacement sagas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
