Matt_1 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 So, if Bullen did get the job, who would we all want him to bring in alongside him? I think the next 2 games could seal it for him, although I would be a little cautious of the opening month not being the most difficult. He's surrounded by good coaches and staff as it stands and Nicky Weaver is held in high regard. I don't think Weaver is assistant Manager level though. So, who could he bring in as his assistant? Would Stuart Grey come back? They have worked together previously Gray is an experienced managerial head who I think would work well in the background. Are there any ex players who spring to mind? Would Sheridan want to work as a number 2? What about ex-team meates of Bullen? If he got the job, his assistant could make or break him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Cosby Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Someone mentioned Brian Laws in another thread, at first I thought it was a bit left field, but I actually think it might be a good shout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Gray is assistant coach at Fulham People need to get out of this fantasy world that he'd come back Plus he was sacked by DC Plus Sheridan is a shitee manager ,so wouldn't make a good coach Edited August 12, 2019 by WelshOwl74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrAy was manager here and sacked by DC so I doubt he's come back if asked and certainly not as an assistant manager. I even doubt DC would offer him a job. It's a shame because I thought SG did a cracking job when he was in charge considering the players he had to work with. He's a top defensive coach as well.

Matt_1 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Ignore the Stewart Graye comments - it was just a suggestion. The main point - who could Bullen bring in? Any ex-colleagues? Do you tend to know your assistant from previous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Glenn Whelan. Needs a club, done his badges, instant respect from the team due to a stellar playing career, by all accounts has always been a fantastic and focused trainer as a player, and knows Bullen. Handy midfielder still as well. Only issue - does he still want regular football to keep playing for ROI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Burton, Gray are good shouts. Keane? JOKING. To be honest i'm sure Bullen would have someone lined up who he knows well. If Gray then i would be very happy as i liked him, and Burton the same. Someone with experience i think is the way to go. Steve Mclaren was a good number 2. JOKING. I think experience will help Bullen ride the bumps that come with being wednesday boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Did Bullen play at the time of Graham Coughlan? I think he's managing somewhere lower league. Might not like going from no1 to no2, but then again he might like the idea of coming to a bigger club. Saw an interview at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, and Neil Redfearn was there. Wonder if he's feeling pushed out by the three steve's. Got a wealth of experience. Could do worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont agree with those people who say if its not broke dont fix it about not having an assistant manager. Yes won first two games but bound to have a couple of poor results soon, just how football works and need back up with coaches and in modern football its too much for Bullen and Weaver to run it all over the medium to long term.

torres Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If Bullen gets the job, then he needs an experienced head next to him and we still are 2 coaches down from the 2 that went to Newcastle I would be tempted to move away from people who know the club just to get a different perspective on it. Bullen, Weaver, Thompson have that area covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
