Lord Snooty Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well he knows the lads and has got the team playing in a decent shape. Hope we go there and perform like we did on Saturday on the front foot and hopefully get 3 points. UTO 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixon said the same in latest tweet and said we are going foreign coach and list is mainly Portuguese. My preferences for manager: 1) A manager with decent managerial experience of Championship football. 2) Bullen. ... *tumbleweed* 278) One of Paxo's mates using Wednesday as a way to get experience here.

gurujuan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Makes total sense to me, Bullen has been working on tactics, and sees the players, both in training, and in games. Why on earth would we bring somebody in days before the game, they cannot possibly influence tactics. What we have to do though, is make sure there is a prompt appointment after the Reading game, so that the new boss will have all week to work with Bullen and the players. Assuming he doesn’t only speak Portuguese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblueowl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Makes complete sense. The work/analysis/tactics will have started today. They can all now knuckle down and work on it rather than a new manager coming in on Wednesday for example and changing everything! Good luck to Bully and the lads for Saturday! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Even if someone was appointed this week, the likelihood would be that it’d be Bullen picking the team and tactics for Saturday. So just confirming this let’s everyone know where we stand. Will he get the job full-time? Possible but highly unlikely IMO. I’m expecting an unknown foreign coach if we don’t get Hughton.

Lord Snooty Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 “The players are doing really well on all fronts and they are ready to go at Reading on Saturday. There’s going to be some players who unfortunately we will have to leave at home and they will be entitled to be very disappointed. But that’s a reflection on how good the boys have been doing and how they are bursting to get this season started.” ~ Bullen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superowls23 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Might just mean bullens in charge for Reading. If a manager joins in the meantime, then Bullen still takes charge at Reading. That way everyone knows what's going off, new man gets more time to look at squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I’m a firm believer Bullen ain’t the man for the job but if he gives it to one of Paxaios boys over Bullen who’s got zero experience of British football nevermind the championship I wouldn’t be shocked if Bullen walked , especially if we beat Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Just because Bullen is in charge Saturday it doesn't mean a new manager won't be appointed before weekend. Preparation for Saturday will have already started so makes sense to leave it to Bullen, we're in safe hands anyway so stop panicking folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that particular instance, I believe he was made a scapegoat for other people’s decisions. He lost his job, correctly in my opinion, because tactically, he was inept Or at least he was unable to get his ideas across Either way, it was the right decision though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Cosby Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 In practice this was probably always going to be the case. Maybe the club are just clarifying to avoid Lee being put in a difficult position on Radio Sheffield tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
