Quist Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, The Night-Owl said: We'll see, my feeling is Thompson will get it temporary or short term, then eventually we'll get a foreign coach, dunno about the permits but it's a good point. Perhaps that's the thinking behind letting Thompson stay in charge, until we find the right man that also meets the work permit requirements or something? If results ok Thomson will probably get job. Just can not see foreign coach happening not just with work permits but with travel restrictions we currently have in place. Going abroad at moment is tricky and situation not quickly going to improve. Travel Agents have been warned this is situation. Is a manager going to go to a job where he can not return home to see family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a point in Ivic's favour, it was reported his family are still in UK with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a manager going to go to a job where he can not return home to see family? All reasonable concerns. Could explain the wait in a sense and could see us stick with Thompson for a while or hire someone short term like Cardiff? What's to say we can't hire a foreign coach already over here or wait for one that's previous experience of coaching/managing over here? Might we be able to wait a few months or however long until restrictions or requirements permitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thompson comes across as a great bloke, really down to earth and nice. I just don’t think he has what it takes to be a manager, especially when things go wrong, I think if he did he would have been a manager before now and not had his last job in 2004. We need to start building long term now, not just until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonstrix Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Skybet need to keep up. They’ve still got McCarthy at 25-1. Have Cardiff already sacked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Think there’s some very narrow minded and naive views on Thompson’s ability to manage and a match day and coach this team Thompson has spent years in the dugout he’s no apprentice to what he’s doing managers make the overlining decisions on most footballing matters but anybody who watches football will see the coaches on the sidelines are the ones making the notes and feeding the managers they will also be heavily involved in sometimes in control of planning training and match day tactics in a lot of sense the manager is the spokes man and the one who carries the responsibility of the team why do people think managers or head coaches bring in their own back room staff We can do a lot worse if we are looking for a coach than appointing Thompson if our recruitment team is briefed to select and bring players in for the squad and they are looking at certain players to play a certain way and our coach is briefed to coach these players and play certain way then could it be we already have the right people driving the chairman’s philosophy thing is for many he just won’t be popular enough which is just crazy he’s done nothing wrong so far apart from turning our results into more positive ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in two well funded positions when promoted. Much different doing it on a budget. Limitations exposed at PL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe chansiri got back to him with new offer...take it or leave it.. need to know by.... Though if me, I wouldn't offer it anyone who dallied...
