Upwind Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Can't see it really - he is very involved in the set-up and academy at Club Doncaster and doesn't seem like a man who would leave a job for money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Irrespective of the state of the club at the minute if any manager hesitated in leaving Doncaster Rovers to join us, then I’d immediately withdraw the job offer. We are in a pickle but ffs. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Seems like a decent guy. But failed to get promotion with WBA who arguably had the strongest squad in the Championship. He has zero promotions on his CV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a pickle but ffs. I'll be honest, I'm almost looking at this the other way around in that he'd be mad to leave relatively secure employment with Donny to jump into the cesspit that is Wednesday at this moment in time. When unemployed managers such as Cowley and Cook, whose past clubs are Concord Rovers, Braintree Town, Lincoln City, Huddersfield Town and Southport, Sligo Rovers, Accrington Stanley, Chesterfield, and Wigan respectively, sound unconvinced, you know there are issues. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsene Wenger was a manager for 34 years and never won a promotion 3 6 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

But lets be honest, we're not in a position to be too choosy at the moment. For me, Paul Cook ticks as many boxes as reasonably possible, and is available. But if we're not going to consider him, then Darren Moore is probably as good a call as any. He has a reputation as a good coach and may be able to coax the best out of a limited squad and maybe bring some of the academy players forward. Right now, I'm less bothered about promotion winning experience than I am about steadying the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upwind Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Cooks a firefighter..... and has been on the merry-go-round. Moore is relatively new to the management game - so not sure he has enough know how to keep the ship afloat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If a manager was going to be appointed betting odds would collapse immediately. The fact it is 2-1 bar and you can good wager on anybody tells me no one has been selected at this point. We are still doing husky fusky finger or thumb, or whatever sophisticated method is used to select next incumbent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikka Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Just another name in the ever increasing list of possibles ...who pretty much ALL look like red herrings set up by the management to deflect fans attention from the real aim - to reach the end of the window without spending much . This has dragged on for weeks ... with no one clear target in sight unless it is someone on the brink of being sacked elsewhere. I fear it is all designed to mask the aim of appointing a 'yes man' from abroad once the deadline is passed. Sad to see if true ... and , of course , it could well result in relegation - which would then make the management look like fools saddled with a 'carthorse they cannot sell'.

Then you have the so called ITK pundits putting their views forward. Although I'm not saying the club aren't hanging back when they should be more proactive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They count a caretaker manager as being appointed if theyre in the job for more than 30 days. I.e they'd pay out on bets on Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
