theowlsman Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 No Portugeezers ta. Or any other totally unknowns. It’s not bloody rocket science to work out what is required Mr C. If Bruce hadn’t been such a pillock in choosing to leave to go to a club where he’ll be lucky to last 6 months, then we’d have been promoted this season. Might still achieve it if we don’t go gambling with exotic names with unproven records or knowledge of the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 So it looks like an unknown Portuguese coach or Bullen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well I did say the other day I didnt want Hughton. Took too long to accept which suggested his heart wasn't in it and therefore not the right appointment. Good manager, decent CV, but if he doesn't want the job, no great loss.

Tamworthowl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Doesn't the article quote "a Wednesday insider" saying we've offered Hughton the job. But there's no reference to any source saying he's rejected it? Maybe he's still thinking it over. And another thing: doesn't Chansiri have to be in the country before a decision (on who to offer the job to) can be made? Still the same. Nobody knows owt.

We would all settle for how well Carlos did in his first season if you offered to us now. But it would be a big gamble and think I would choose Bullen ahead of someone who doesnt know the Championship at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just now, Mrs Blenkinsops shed said: Let it go mate.... He was never coming to wednesday.... I've been pro-Rowett for a few days. I've already let go. But I read what's written and try not to jump to conclusions. Other than the headline, there's nothing in the article pointing towards a rejection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 1 minute ago, A12owl said: A genuine honest question. Why is it essential to have a manager with championship experience? Football is football and providing a manager has experience at a similar level abroad it should make no difference. In fact it might be better . Different contacts in different countries . There are several instances of managers being successful in the championship with no prior experience . 2 of the 3 promoted managers didn't have championship experience until a couple of years ago . There is no quick fix and just because a manager has gained promotion previously. It's all a bit of a pot luck. Some managers will get more out of a certain player than others . We've seen it here. Pukki at Norwich is a good example. Will the next manager approached feel badly after being second choice? Who knows. I Will be glad when it's all sorted. Mr C will get it right. Nothing is rushed by him. I totally agree Dave. With the last bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbupperthongowl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It's not as though any manager with any ability from Portugal or Tibet won't have any working knowledge of the championship or even our players, they don't suddenly have to learn everything the day they start Part of the recruitment process is for them to explain their tactics, how they would use the squad and where we are short of players. Even shefki kuqi has been round the world looking at coaching methods We also have bullen, weaver, and a recruitment team in place, so hopefully A GOOD coach will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Waltham will be along in a minute to tell us the jobs Bullen's Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
