Who Is A Realistic Candidate For The Job

Me, I do it every save on FM and if these goons have managed to get the job then I should be well up there

 

German route is something we should have gone down this summer. No idea why we didn't to be honest. Not sure if a German like Wolf would come in and pick things up after 6 games, most coaches want a full pre season with the team. That's what makes the next months in finding someone new so difficult.

Bloody hell, I thought Collins had been sacked when I read the title!

Anyhow, my choice would be Heckingbottom. Its not going to happen though is it

**My first choice prior to appointing Collins was Grant McCann, I just had a hunch that he would be a good fit here, and was very disappointed we either didnt approach him, or as someone on here suggested earlier, he wasnt interested in applying.
He has got off to a very good start at Donny to make me even more jealous that Donny ended up with him**

 

Anyone who is daft enough to believe in the Edin Dream and on that note I can't really think of anyone. Thread closed

Take your pick!

 

Well here goes, all in my opinion of course.

- Mick McCarthy. - would be a good appointment given our predicament. Would look to organise and get points on the board and would take no shit from players or owners. If Rahic is here, never in a million years would it work and would he come here for peanuts? No. He’s working for sky at minute and is desperate to get back in but cannot see him going lower than championship unless it’s good offer. Not going to come from us.

- Hannes Wolf. Looks to have a good pedigree and Germans have worked and are working currently in England. Bloke at Barnsley and Wagner at Huddersfield. But I’m worried he would be coming at the wrong time. Maybe if we were in championship with an established squad the build with youth could work but we are light years from that and when someone comes in we will need points and fast. Might take him a couple of months to get to grips with it. Bit different developing players at state of the art academies in Germany and then he turns up at apperley bridge. No from me.

Heckingbottom. - don’t get it with him if I’m honest. Did ok to get Barnsley promoted and then somehow got the Leeds job where he was awful and his football was torrid. Biesla making a smilies squad look like Barcelona. He’s an ok coach but we need instant results to stop us getting dragged in and would he get them? Put him in the maybe category.

Bellamy - I like the way he talks about the game and he is working with Cardiff youth teams and seems like he wants a job. Can work as you say working with Barton and plenty of young coaches with ideas coming into game. A fiery character and would get a performance from his players I don’t doubt. If he is still like that however how would he get on with Rahic? He’s a maybe

Ones that I think may be worth considering;

Michael Flynn. - ex city and done a brilliant job with Newport who were relegation cannon fodder each season before he went there. Had a great start to season and in top 3 this year. Done well in Cup competetitions and would be able to work with what he’s got and you would hope can get results with this limited squad.

Cowley - brought Lincoln out of non league and gone from strength to strength. Question marks over his style but parky was dull at times but it got results. They have a brilliant spirit at the club and shown in previous cup runs and are sat top of the league. Why leave that to come here with Rahic and limited control? Plus will we pay compo for anyone? Both him and his brother signed contracts until 2022.

But we struggle with Rahic. Unless he changes?

 

Looks like a management team of Park Keefly and Norman then.

 

You seem to have lost the ability to read.

 

Couldn't be any worse.

 

We need a change of chairman first, before any coach/manager will make a difference.

 

What about Brian McDermott?

The conundrum is working with Edin. That’s the issue facing any new coach/manager.

The most important signing and next signing should be a director of football, then relieve Abbott of his duties. The club needs direction with football matters.

 

If Collins got sacked Drury would step up with whoever is in charge of the under 8’s as his assistant

 

There is a guy who watches Sunday football in Peel park every week, Am sure an approach would be welcome

 

vinnie jones so he can kick the shit out of edin on a daily basis

 

What about Gary Bowyer? Worked under dreadful owners at Blackpool and managed to achieve promotion and a mid table finish.

 

Bowyer would be a good shout but he's left Blackpool because he'd had enough of working with the Oystons. I honestly can't think of anyone daft enough to work with Rahic.

 

Not a bad shout that. Although he may not want to put himself through similar again.

 

Colin Todd for me
