FreshOwl Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 No problem with a six month deal, in fact it’s probably better. More impetus on keeping us up, and not stuck with a manager and a massive pay off if they turn out to be craaap Again, people forgetting we’re in a 1 season fight here. Forget about anything long term until our fate is decided 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think Thompson is the more likely appointment if we’re only looking to the end of the season. A gamble, granted but at least he’d get a shift out of the players as we already have seen. I still think his knowledge of Shaw, Hunt, Waldock et al may prove crucial for the rest of the season?

I don’t see this as the right time for especially Hunt and Waldock to make a difference. The pressure is going to be immense. Shaw maybe different 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man that brings forwards a plan to work with what we have is likely to get the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosborough-owl Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I know we aren't in a position to be picky like, but how do these managers even get to a stage where there on our shortlist? Surly dc looks at there cvs and sees they’ve done absolute nothing in football! So why does he think they are good enough to come here? I just done understand his thought process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DC is taking his time to get this decision right (for a change), surely we need to commit. Otherwise, we're fishing in a pretty shitty pool of opportunists, just here for the money. If there isn't any commitment on either side, how do players (and fans) buy into anything the new manager says, knowing he'll be on his bike in a couple of months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, bringing in a new manager for a couple of months is a waste of time. If that's the plan, may as well be honest with the players and ask them to get behind Thompson with the aim of survival. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think the plan is probably to employ the manager to the end of the season with a big bonus for keeping us up.If that works we can then decide whether we want to give him an extension for another season. I get the definite impression DC wants a head coach not a British style manager, someone who will work with what we've got and new recruits to be brought in ty DC's advisors. I can see the attraction of that strategy but the advisors don't fill me with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
