archieswfc Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I think most would agree we need a manager. The problem is, nothings changed since cabbage head left in terms of who's available. Should we jump in and appoint somebody we're not sure about or is it worth sticking with Bully until the right man comes along. There's a lot of hissy fitting in here tonight but if we lose our heads we could make a disastrous appointment.

BRADDO Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Out of those available, I think Rowett is a no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I don’t think there is ever a candidate that everyone is sure on, Bruce was quite rare in the sense that most felt he was the man we needed. I think we should stop dithering and get Rowett in or the Cowleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Whoever the manager is no one will be 100% at first. Just pick someone whose proven at this level and has got a team promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 For me it is between Rowett and Monk. Both managed well at this level, and Monk is an ex owl (Loanee), both did well at Brum under the same restictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi1867 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ah!, that is the £60,000 question, there is no one who can guarantee success. Unfortunately selecting a manager is not an exact science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick McCarthy, someone suggested this in another thread and mentioned he’s only at Rep of Ire till the end of the summer. 2 promotions on his CV and proven as they come at this level. Alex Neil - Promotion to the PL with Norwich. Constantly has a Preston team overachieving for what looks on paper a bang average team. I also like the idea of taking a rivals managed, proving we are a big fish in this division. Like I said I’d just be happy with someone with a promotion to the PL on their CV right now. No manager we get will be perfect on paper but I think now is the perfect time to make a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeadonowl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Stop messing about and go get Rowett He wouldn’t demand a huge wage and he wants the job Lincoln want a fortune for the Cowleys, money that could be better spent re building the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep saying wait for the right man, so I'll ask you a question "Who is the right man?" One thing for certain is that Bullen isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible I suppose but it's not a given he'd leave Preston for us. The problem is there's nothing about that stands out. Bruce was an obvious appointment. Nothing obvious is standing out as it stands. A bad gamble would put us in a worse position than we are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of a muchness really looking at the candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I would do now. Completely evident that Bullen is out of his depth with tactics and a lack of a plan. Rowett is out of work and he wants it. He knows the division and I think it will work. Stoke was a poisoned chalice for him - difficult managing a group of players on high wages who wanted out. Although, as per the Reading game, I don’t think he’s on DC’s radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It's DCs job to appoint the best manager available. It isn't his job to disappear for 6 months and leave an estate Agent in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
