Mease Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I fancy a left field appointment again, nobody was expecting CR.

Did you go through with that threat? You've got a better memory than me or are you sadly trawling through old posts to score points?
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Even though I'd be happy with it I don't think NFP is coming back. I'd be more than happy giving it to Shakey until the end of the season, maybe longer.

We have to remember this is a man who has stood out enough to be offered the assistant managers job of a national team, surrounded by staff he's never worked with before. There must be something there....

urban.spaceman Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Shakey's been assistant manager for 8 out of the last 9 seasons, he's been with us from League One, through two heartbreaking play off semi-finals, two promotions, three league titles and one Great Escape. He knows each and every member of the squad from the last in the door to long-termers like Morgan, Schmeichel, Drinkwater and Vardy, to lifers like Andy King and Conrad Logan. I think he'll be good enough for us until the end of the season - whoever does come in though needs to keep him and the rest of the staff, just like last season - that's where Claudio was genius last season and why we won the league, and that's what Claudio messed up this season by changing. Also bring back Ken Way.

They're made for each other, when they part ways he'll fade and they'll drop like a stone.

whetstonefox Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 If we show the same lack of desire as we have most of the season and get walloped I'd get Gary Rowett in and assume the worst that we will be relegated but have a manager who knows the championship and we go again. if we play well tonight and win those managers unsure about us may decide we have more than enough about us to survive and will suddenly become interested.
Wymsey Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Hope Shakespeare gets it. Without him, neither Pearson or Ranieri would've done well as they had imo. He's been like Paul Clement has with Ancelotti at Bayern Munich etc, observing performances and the like, but probably feels himself that this is a good opportunity to make more of a name for himself as a more authority figure.
AjcW Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Can we get this guy? Maybe he can bring some of their crazy good academy with him! Only a couple of wins off Europe this season after managing to keep them up.
brucey Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Claudio wants to return to PL management asap apparently. Wonder how many of these outraged opposition fans would actually take him as manager. Give it 2 months before those fans turn on him and his tactics.
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Do we want a manager that is here for himself and puts a plaster on things - quick fix or one the builds and creates a good foundation not just on the pitch. Are there any? Out of 22 managers I can only come up 4-5 that gave or were able to give all and totally make the club their baby. Pearson, MON, Little etc Claudio - Despite the obvious high the infrastructure has gone backward sadly. Bought a house rather than rent so intended to be around. I know its a bit raw. Pearson- Built from the ground up Sven - Played at it but did change the pitch and input on training facilities Sousa- Dismantled all that was good, kicked out all sports science guys etc Hollowhead - Meant well but took us backward off and on the pitch Megson - Who? Allen - Backwards but changed the flowers Worthington - Stagnate Kelly - Tried but out of it Levien - No idea of English league, took us backward. Bassett - Some sound ideas for those times Adams - Not as bad as he seemed but hardly transformed things Taylor - Took us back decades MON- Owned the club from top to bottom McGee - Good backroom staff, greedy fat bastard took them with him Little - Possibly did more than anyone to build the club not just the playing side. Pleat out - Best interests of the club at heart and spoke a good game., like a bung allegedly Hamilton - Hated by Walsh, when the sweets he threw in to the crowd were thrown back it was time to call it a day. Milne - Very astute guy but Tom English comes to mind. Vaguely rememeber him improvingh things behind the scenes Wallace - Big impact, changed many things,. heart was in the club until he saw ££££ signs McLintock - As Peter Taylor. Eddie Kelly being the only good thing he brought to the club Jimmy B - Sacked when 6th in the 1st division after building the club and team. Now that was mad. Quality football

whoareyaaa Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 Has to be British or someone who is fluent in english imo
MrLuke Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 BBC seem to think that Shakespeare could get until the end of the season if we perform well tonight – will then allow a new (I assume, higher profile) manager to come in in the summer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39104891
An Away Move Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 21 minutes ago, whoareyaaa said: Has to be British or someone who is fluent in english imo I do not understand the logic of appointing someone based on nationality. Also a foreign manager led us to the title last season! So if there is a LOGIC to this argument, what is it? IMO we get the best candidate irrespective of nationality.
Webbo Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 I can't see past Hodgson until the end of the season. You can make your own minds up whether that's a good thing or not.

l444ry Posted 27 February 2017 Posted 27 February 2017 God help us. Money is quietly coming for Roy Hodgson. Must be some sort of link.
