Thank *@?$ for that!

 

I’m not sure it really matters who we get. I remember people getting a semi when Peter Taylor & Bryan robson got the jobs, didn’t work out too well did they. The 2 notable successful managers were both untried & caused outrage at the time, kamara & Jewell

 

He sounds like a right tit.

 

Look how far we have fallen with these names . On another note what has Flynn done to warrant a shout? One cup run ? If he wasn't ex city and let's face it he was about as good as Dieng, he wouldn't be getting a mention. Too many soft and sentimental fans looking for another fairytale to cling on to.

 

None of the above

 

I'm not even sure I care. How can anybody get giddy about a single person on that list?

 

Dark Horse Newport's Michael Flynn.

 

By "model" I mean micromanaging every aspect of the club including the specialist football areas that a manager is employed to run.
By model, I mean not paying sufficient in wages to attract the better talent.
By model , I mean undermining the manager by failing to modestly back him (despite public promises to the contrary) in the transfer window/s.
Of course all owners will want their say but the sensible ones know when to step back and let the professionals get on with the job.
Comparing the Bolton chairman's conversations with Parky and own chairman's behaviour is plain wrong.
Keep telling yourself that the way it's now done at City is the norm in English football, I don't agree.

 

Spoke with Wayne yesterday and he believes Darren will be offered the WBA job, and in his opinion not a chance of him coming to Valley Parade.

 

I've voted Sheridan as he seems to specialise in saving teams from the drop

 

I'm Warming to the idea of Cotterill actually. Don't know why, just a hunch that he could do a good job here

 

Don't give anyone ideas about Westley for goodness sake!

 

I don't really see what they've done that's so radical. They've basically copied the Steve Evans approach he had at Crawley

What's so progressive about them, that means you have to be have ambition to for them to come?

I'd pick Paul Tisdale or Gareth Ainsworh or Flynn in a heartbeat before them - simply because they've stared disaster in the face and come through it

 

Can't see any reasonably established manager working under our "model". It will be an untried who needs a first step onto the managerial ladder who gets the gig IMO.

With a limited budget and our current club management setup and the likelihood of a newbie being appointed, our luck is really going to have to hold to make any sort of a fist of next season.

Relying on luck isn't much of a strategy but it may be the only thing we have.

 

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Paul Scholes. Wasn’t he interested in the Oldham job at some point?

Him alongside an experienced number 2 could work. His working under Fergie, his contacts and understanding of the game would be beneficial.

The rest on that list are so uninspiring that we risk sleep walking into the new season.

 

I suspect the clock has been ticking a little longer than that. The club have almost certainly known Simon's decision for longer. I would normally expect an announcement early next week. With Edin I'm not holding my breath.

 

We should be giving manager's a chance to raise their game and work AT THIS LEVEL, not giving absolute rookies with no knowledge of the club a chance.

Darren Moore makes sense.

Craig Bellamy does not.

Paul Cook at Wigan (biggest job to date); Chris Wilder at Sheffield United (biggest job to date); Paul Heckingbottom at Barnsley (promoted from within, academy), every year there is an example of someone stepping up and getting their club promoted, whether they're signed from League Two or non-league or their academy.

What I can't find is an example of "a guy" walking into a club he doesn't know with no experience whatsoever of managing clubs and doing amazingly well.

 

I guess i'm just hoping the current suggestion of a head coach is a joke. Tbh, let them do what they will, past caring now. See how it all works out next season. At least they'll have the bounce from this seasons tremedous effort to fall back on.... fans will be very accomodating

 

I’ve admired the Cowley brothers over at Lincoln for quite some time, I’d love to see them given a chance. It won’t happen though, we’re not progressive enough anymore for anybody with ambition.
