Nope.

I don't want this club employing on aa sentimental basis or jobs for the boys scenario anymore.

I want someone who will grab this club by the scruff of its neck and sort us out. Make us professional. Create a no nonsense, ruthless streak and eventually take us into the Championship.

It's 15 years since we've been at that level now. In that time Yeovil, Burton, Scunny, Doncaster, Blackpool have all played their trade at that level. Why can't that be us? I'm bored of L1/L2 and sick of the acceptance of mediocrity that pervades all aspects of our club.

Unfortunately that's easier said than done and I don't know who the answer is but we cannot afford to keep looking back.

People suggest Lawrence and Jones as candidates. Based on what?!

 

Saying no isnt slagging him off.

 

No

 

Darren Moore mate.

 

The club is broken.

If McCall, Moore or even Parky becomes available we've to go back to them.

Bowyer is a Blackpool man! We need a true City man now.

 

Under German ownership I think the Club has lost it's connection with the fans. Local former heroes can bring comfort and a sense of belonging and indeed identity back, but these are not, on their own, a reliable solution.

 

Politically no but he does get teams working for each other.

I would take him as a team coach or youth coach.

 

Of course it's sentiment, some feel he was done the dirty on, we can debate that all day long Rahic sacked him and no matter who has taken the reigns they have not been able to stop the good ship Titanic hitting the iceberg.
Yes lets look for a manager with a proven record, unfortunately every manager who might drop to league two has had bad periods in their managerial career, it goes with the job.

 

mccall for another spell? not for me. how many times do we go back to something that hasn’t worked. or do we just employ him until it does work? what if that takes 5-10 years or longer? do we just keep going with him, some fans would see him an un-sackable no matter what happened if he returned again.

hopefully we can keep bowyer as he has a track record of knowing what is needed to get out of league two. mccall doesn’t. sentiment isn’t needed right now.

parkinson won’t come back. he’ll feel that after the last 6-7 years he deserves a shot at a club that is settled and not a clusterf*ck behind the scenes and who could blaim him for that. the same may be said for bowyer too after what he’s worked with at blackburn, blackpool and now at city.

however, if bowyer wants to stay he has to be given the chance to get it right with a squad of his making.

 

His point is you wouldn't be calling for any other previous manager to come back would you with Stuarts two records as our manager would you?

 

No I don't have a problem with @Park bantam he'll usually reply's (not agreeing) but that's what the forums all about, mostly banter mate but I wonder if the situation came to a choice between say Bowyer, McCall, and Steve Evans who they'd prefer .

 

I'd love to have Phil Parkinson back so if that's what he's implying sorry wrong again @Park bantam.

 

My point is simple Stuart had five seasons at the club no other manager would get that without success. I hope he goes somewhere else and reaches the top in management but not back here

 

Feel your pain, mate. It just shows how desperate and appalling bad we currently are, when people absolutely love Bowyer on here. He got lucky with Blackpool and he’s like a fecking messiah.

 

Like a lot

Totally agree

 

Interesting reading. You’ve got to much time on your hands Bronco obviously

 

That information came from a guy very near to Rachic.
I don't have to blacken his name further mate he did a very good job of that himself.

 

Bowyer has lost 3 in 4 you happy with that?
