I’d definitely class McCarthy as a lower league manager, much like Bassett and Warnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on the other hand he’s had to work for some really unstable clubs in Leeds, Birmingham and Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Keep monk and give him time to develop a new squad and team. It will take time but sacking managers every 12 months doesn't work either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently read that he spent £4m at Ipswich in 4 years and after keeping them up in his first season they finished 9th,6th and 7th. Not bad on a budget imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack the Hat Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 For me the best two for us would be either Bruce or Nigel Pearson. But as neither of these are possibilities then I’m struggling to come up with anyone. Don’t like Monk but would prefer him to McCarthy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Ryan Lowe with an experienced director of football to assist him. Maybe someone like Martin o Niel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 3 hours ago, Therealrealist said: Paul Cooke..he’s leavin Wigan at the end of the season..it’s a no brainer Was one of my preferred choices when Bruce left us in the lurch. Monk was a disastrous backwards appointment. Cook seems to get limited teams in terms of quality and budget, and seems to improve them and get them playing well despite the constraints. Our job is a difficult one, with our owner and P&S but that doesn't make our results during the 2nd half of the season acceptable. A decent manager that knows this level and can work with a tight budget, wouldn't have waved the white flags after Christmas. I don't see Monk as the answer long term, especially since he hasn't stayed long term in any of his previous jobs. We as a club need to smarten up off the pitch, operate more sustainably and build a more of a second tier team (by that I mean a younger, more athletic and battle hardened side) and we need to start selling players or bringing in players to make a profit. Despite all of our off the field deficiencies as a club, football is a results business and results simply have been abysmal after Christmas, a rebuild is needed along with a new manager and/or a DOF to efficiently carry out that rebuilding process long term, Monk isn't the right man for a long term job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
