owlsite Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Surely, nothing to lose by appointing a man who appears to want the job, knows the score with Chansiri, has managed in the division before and, on the face of it, would also be good for League 1 if we go down.

The Night-Owl Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 13 hours ago, Quist said: It is a poor situation and to my mind only way out is a good manager who is not tied into advisor factions and given head to do things his way. Think squad is better than you indicate but it has some glaring emissions. The only glimmer of hope I saw is that our old advisor is not making all the decisions. I was trying to set out recruitment process and state of play as I see it I was not condoning the ridiculous stance of a head coach and switch to attacking football. We do not have players to do that and some one is desperately needed to hone recruitment and develop a strategic direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ised to work in Portugal and know group of Benfica fan and very unhappy with him equalled worst losing run in history of club. He set off well with team he inherited and ruined it Benfica rarely lose matches in Portugal. It was not good. But would not get work permit so pointless discussion. Rules are rigid have to have been in charge for 24 games at one club or for 36 months both in last 3 years. Which he has not thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take your point about Seedorf’s managerial career so far but it might click for him somewhere and that somewhere might be here plus I don’t think he’d have a problem with the short term contract that is currently on offer? Thing is the fans want Cook. Cook knows this and is playing the Pied Piper with it and the Chairman is understandably cautious about appointing him? If we were in League 1, I could understand the clamour for him. His success is in the lower divisions. His record in the championship is mixed to say the least. Could Cook build a promotion winning side at this level? Maybe, maybe not? It’s one thing getting success on a budget in Leagues 1& 2. It’s a totally different kettle of fish doing the same at championship level? If you think Seedorf would click here you have to be on strong substance. Cook has done well in this league good manager read about him I was ok with him but more I have read he is way ahead of shower of names presented and he wants the job. Issue is some of advisor types not keen as they will not get way which makes it more important he gets job. The rules for work permits are rigidly set at moment with specific requirements. This is to give young British managers a chance instead of giving opportunities to many foreign coaches who fare no better and often a lot worse when presented with difficult tasks. Success of foreign coaches is because a lot of well funded clubs have given foreign coaches the chance and and have picked those at top of tree in world game. If they are relaxed it will be well down the line. With constraints of Covid I think bringing individuals from abroad is even more difficult at this time with virtually a travel ban in place. You have to have negative test and then isolate for 10 days when get here. It looks to be completely unrealistic to appoint some one from abroad at this time and these restrictions will stay until March at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Owl Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Somebody earlier on in the thread mentioned Jokanovic wanting to get back into English management. It may be a unrealistic appointment, but i think it would be a very good one. I think the fans could get behind it, he plays a pressing and easy on the eye style, has a few championship promotions, he also could work in our set up as i believe he didn't have much input in transfers at watford and Fulham. The only worry would be a potentially drastic style change which may not help in a relegation battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contract to end of season and he spends lots of money which is not going to be available. I can not see us getting anything decent from abroad.

Strongest substance I’m on at the moment is Coffee TBH I don’t particularly care anymore. If Cook gets it, he’s no more likely to succeed or fail than anyone else? I’m just fed up with the same old sh!t merry-go-round appointments and I’d like to see us try something different? If you want a safe appointment then Thompson’s the man. Know’s the club, knows the strengths and weaknesses of the players particularly the younger ones as we already have seen with Shaw’s form since TP’s departure plus he hasn’t got an immediate issue with arguably our best forward?

Whether we could tempt him with money who knows.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
