Most liked posts in thread: Does Gary Jones have his coaching badges and would you like him as our new manager?

I'd rather someone with football league experience, let him, Collins and any others like that earn their badges through non league like Hurst and plenty others have had too.

So it's a no from me.

 

PASHUN that's what it's all about. Get him in, along with Charlie as assistant and that bloke who hurled abuse at Rahic on Saturday as coach.

 

Understands how the conference works. Perfect for our longer term future.

 

Wouldn't want him under this regime but he strikes me as having too much passion and not enough in his head. Strikes me as the Stuart McCall first time around, Stuart Pearce type, and I'd rather he went away and did it with someone else. Thinking man's number 2 I think

 

I want Warnock next.

 

Stephen

 

John Coleman - but he's old school and probably wouldn't want to work for Rahic.
Keith Hill - his teams play decent football and he's used to working on a shoestring. But he's old school and probably wouldn't want to work for Rahic.
Gareth Ainsworth - done well at Wycombe and impressed by how he had a limited group of players working effectively to a clear game plan. But he's emotive and probably wouldn't want to work for Rahic.
Phil Brown - would want to manage. Wouldn't want to work for Rahic.

Greg Abbot. Shit. Would work for Rahic

You can see where this is going can't you...?

 

'Neil, fancy sacking off the premiership to work for a league one club who won't have the biggest budget, but who's chairman will be eager to help you out with match prep and team talks etc?

Neil?
Neil, are you there....?'

 

Simply put, no.

When we appointed Collins, I made it clear I wanted someone with experience of management/coaching of 1st team players. I’m sure Jones would be great at motivating and getting the best from his players, but my stance stays the same. I want someone with a track record, even if only for a couple of seasons.

 

Passion wise he'd make a great coach, but he's got less coaching experience than Collins. We need an experienced man in, perhaps with a succession plan to someone like Jones.

 

Coaching badges are a waste of time. They're not a reflection of whether someone can manage.

Its a daft idea.

 

I'd get the Irish guy in that did the pitch. He seems to know what he's talking about and has a track record of achieving what he sets out to do.

 

I love a catchy thread title.

 

Bower has done a brilliant job at BPA. He can't do any worse than Collins.

 

A no for me. We need a Ferguson or McCarthy type character and for them to be left to get on with it. Not that there is a chance of that happening sadly

 

Bet shankley, Paisley, clough didn’t have a badge between them.

 

Mark Bower is pulling up trees at BPA. Clever close season recruitment, good results thus far, good player motivator and coach. Of course, ex- City lad. But honestly, why would he want to give up on his current dream/project with Park Avenue where though he may not have money, does have a lot of support and a club who let him get on with his job, to move into a toxic Valley Parade where his hands would be tied behind his back? Bower deffo has ever-growing potential to be a future Bantams manager. But he'd be a mug to give everything up that he's building at BPA to move to us under the present regime.

 

Ah

Ahem but I was always brought up to call a shit a number 2 and that's why I always laugh out loud when I see it in writing tee hee. Pathetic school yard humour I know oop:

 

Whilst, I'd be loathsome to lose Bower in my other guise following Avenue, however would he actually want to come to us. Anyone who lives around Shipley or goes through Shipley will know there is an estate agency at Foxs Corner called Bower Hamilton. So any offer would have to be too tempting i.e. money wise for him to give up his other job.

 

Nice guy, but not got the ruthless streak that's desperately needed just now...........
