Many Wigan fans fearing another relegation unless a buyer with a suitable bid comes in , meanwhile they've had to sell all their best players. What happened to Bury, Macclesfield and Bolton with so many buyers........and that was before Covid! You’re still trying to convince people the only way for our club to exist is if it’s ruled by Chansiri? STILL???? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk kept alluding to issues behind the scenes and ‘certain situations’. Pulis lasted 10 bloody games. Why is the Sheffield Wednesday job a seemingly impossible one for any manager? Just a hunch...is it because we are a complete basket case? Just saying.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no preference over who the next 1st team Manager/Coach is , I just want to see the club winning games. If the plan is to 'have a first team coach', then that's fine. In and of itself though, that puts us nowhere near the Brentfords and Watfords of this world, who also have a support structure in place above said coach, overseen by a Director of Football. If we're going to have a coach whose support and guidance comes from Chansiri and a few advisors who apparently aren't employed by the club, then we'll continue flail around aimlessly as we have done during much of his tenure so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not to have any influence in key decisions about staff means you become more of an employee and less of a MD/manager. Imagine the owner of a company picking all the recruits, and telling the MD how he wants the company to produce quality products with no say so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluestripe Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’d of expected a manager short-listed for a job at a well established club like Wednesday, would not divulge details of the process. whatever the differences, Paul Cook (who some respect) should be discreet and pragmatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the crux, for all the moaning now if this time next year we're still in championship, winning games and towards top end of table then what would it matter if it's a head coach or manager structure? Our recruitment team had a nightmare to deal with in summer recruiting half a squad with very little budget due to covid / FFP mess from past. Wouldn't have mattered who manager was would have had same handicap.. would like to see sort of players Downes could source if he had some funds to play with!

He wants a head coach without the investment in the coherent structure that goes alongside it. The end result - a squad like the one we have. When will people’s patience and tolerance with the stupid way we’ve been run be exhausted? It’s extraordinary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not defending Chansiri here, but when Mandric owned the club the 'Manager' had very little input in the player recruitment. He just told the club the positions we needed strengthening and the club brought in players we could afford, not maybe the players the 'Manager' wanted, so what is the difference?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbleowl Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Paul cook saying managers need to manage is a thing of the past. Most teams employ a manager/coach to oversee the first team and recruitment is dealt with by other people. The policy at the club is correct but the execution of it is shocking on two fronts. First is the recruitment team don't all seem on the same page and on occasion have possible personal interests and until they all sing off the same hymn sheet that will always fail. Secondly why employ people like Bruce, and pulis who are old school and monk who didn't fit the profile. Chansiri needs to go back to what kind of worked of a coach not a manager who knows what is expected of him like Carlos, the problem I have is I'm not convinced the owner will learn from his mistakes and we will just plod along leaping from one nightmare to the next 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's baffling that some posters are trying to equate what we're doing with the structures in place at clubs like Brentford or Watford. What we're apparently doing is sticking a spoiler on a Vauxhall Astra and hoping it'll drive like a Porsche. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manderic was a football man as was Alderidge Chansiri would have been better off buying the club and leaving Mandy in charge. Aldridge stayed on for 12 months I think but probably had little input after Chansiri got fully into megalomaniac mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
