prowl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 8 hours ago, Blue and white said: How the feck is appointing a lower league manager who has never managed above Championship level a good appointment. It's not like he is an up coming manager. Seriously underwhelming appointment but then again what decent manager would want to work under this nut job. Wilder hadn't done much before he went to the lane. That didn't turn out too shabby. If he's got what it takes he will keep us up then we can move on from there. Just give the guy a chance. DC is his handicap though if you look at it in betting terms. Hopefully they can work it out between them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themagiccap Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Is there anything to suggest he has the record or experience to get us out of trouble. Very underwhelming for me if he gets the job. and he wouldn't stay at Wigan in league one so would he with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Having studied that late run last season, where Wigan went on to collect an impressive 36 points from 18 games, its allayed one of my concerns. Most people were saying he was, if not too defensive, then certainly, a bit cautious. This is not born out by the statistics, as Wigan won 10 of those 18 games, scoring 32 goals in the process. He set the team up in an attacking 4-2-3-1, which I favour. Generally I have an aversion to shouty managers, especially scousers, but if I can get beyond that, maybe I can get on board. Worst case scenario is, 4 months of watching games on mute 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Probably a far cheaper option than Pulis was. Knows the Championship and L1. Decent record. If he succeeds will he be referred to as Masterchef? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he will adapt to players we have available. His recruitment is excellent just look at collection of players he had at Wigan last season many of whom were sold off in fire sale. He also assembled some good players during his time at Chesterfield. Big clubs trust him with their loan players. Team will be organised. He is just what we need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsie Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 For me, I feel he could be the next KPS, just comes in and gets it! A lower manager who has never "failed". Surely that is better than someone who have managed in the premiership and is on the manager merry-go-round (pulis, monk, Pearson etc) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left Wigan because the administrators were having to sell his players from under him for a relative pittance rather than simply because they'd dropped into League One: "But when you're a manager and players are going to be sold without your consultation, the reality is you're not managing the club anymore." He won enough points to keep newly-promoted Wigan up, and would have had them in mid-table last season were it not for their 12 point deduction. Three promotions in the past half decade or so isn't a poor record, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He isnt my choice, based on fans feedback about him. However, we need to get moving and he clearly wants the job. I know we need to make the right decision, but can we have that in the next 72 hours please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
