Errol Flashman Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 More to the point who replaces the bloke who's replaced Monk in 6 months? Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness folks, I think we are in this sort of territory now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It would be nice to approach someone currently in employment. Why we only seem to go for people out of work is beyond me. They are currently out of work for a reason. Try going for someone on an upwards curve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Roy Keane or Paolo Di Canio in til end of season. Watch the set of flaps start moving on the pitch then. Paolo Di Canio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_wells Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Of course its Lee Bullen. There is not a flying chance that anyone would come in here with any reputation at the moment. Possibly in the summer once things have calmed down - but we havent got that time. Even though he isnt the long term solution, and we need to get new ownership or - at the very least - structure in place, I genuinely think Bullen is a much better option than Monk at this point in time. He might not have lost the dressing room per se, but he doesn't know how to sort them out to get a performance that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main point still stands, why do we never look for anyone currently in employment? Whenever you see the lists of potential candidates we only ever discuss ones out of work.

Sefton owl Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Chansiri has shown he’s willing to throw money at the club. Go and spend a couple more million before you go, and get hughton in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rule if you go for a manager who's already in employment they tend to carry serious compensation costs. Over the last 20 years we've never been an attractive enough proposition or been 'big' enough to lure any decent manager from a job they are already successful in. Like I said beggars can't be choosers. And Bruce was a good appointment we were just unlucky there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d ditch Grimsby immediately to take over at Wednesday and is nearer to being a Big Ron / Steve Bruce type than you’d imagine. Capable of raising spirits and getting his players working hard for him and we’d get him on the cheap. Not that Mr C would listen. Never listens to anyone. That’s why we’re in a bloody mess. Agree on both points Simon. Proven at this level with promotions on his CV and an infectious personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
