Legend_in_blue Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 Rowett is just a name people are mentioning because he played for us over a decade ago. If he'd never played for us, he wouldn't be up for consideration at all. And at this moment in time, he is completely the wrong choice.

UPinCarolina Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 Mancini is not a poor choice. Solid defensive coach, with a no nonsense record when dealing with starlets.

JamesWelshFox Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 We need a coach who will take no messing, there will be fall out because when they are forced to look at themselves in the mirror some of this shower are going to run away but this season that is no great loss. I would love to have seen Jock Wallace tear in to this lot. I would look for a home grown manager with something to prove, and who will get us out of the Championship. Who ? Sadly not Pearson, junior queered that one for good, which is a shame because Pearson was building, but a similar sort of character.
davieG Posted 23 February 2017 Posted 23 February 2017 Longer term we need someone who can change the whole football approach from hoofball to football but they can't start to do that until the summer and then only if we're safe. We need someone urgently who can motivate a team of hoofers. Shakespeare knows them or MON can get this type of squad performing so one of them til the end of the season.
ramboacdc Posted 24 February 2017 Author Posted 24 February 2017 mancini now as low as evens after sky saying the idea has been pitched about him but no formal approach.

Do you really have faith in Shakey to make the necessary changes to our starting lineup that are required? Do you think he'd drop Morgan for instance?
An Away Move Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 Throw some money at Benitez! He'd be class.
Alakagom Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 Betting markets like this are pretty much useless, there is zero liquidity. Something like 50 pound could make any manager favourite on paddypower.

Well I'm suggesting he may get the Morgan of last season and we have no replacements that have proved themselves against PL opposition just ones that needed a replay to beat Derby and failed to be a L1 side with 10 men. Same goes for the other back 4 places.

Thats fair enough I just don't think Shakey will be ruthless enough with players that aren't performing, I mean he was picking the teams with Claudio, he had a say in these bizarre selections we are seeing and keeping players in the squad who were clearly out of form I'm personally tired of our league winning players being deemed untouchable, I'd feel a lot better with a manager at the helm that's starting from scratch and is selecting players on current form Not that there is much current form, but anybody associated with starting Musa week in week out when we've got Gray sitting on the bench twiddling his thumbs isn't going to fill me with confidence

As we're severely lacking players that are comfortable with the ball then any quality replacement manager trying to get this lot to play football on the deck could fall into the same trap Sousa did.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 February 2017 Posted 24 February 2017 19 hours ago, TrentFox said: Rowett isn't the man for now. These players are capable of winning the league. It's not that they can't play. They are choosing not to play. What will turn that around and get past their self-centred huge egos? Not "up and coming". They need someone who can command THEIR respect from the first second. There is one astonishingly unlikely candidate - whether we all agree or not. He may not command our unilateral respect, but he probably would have theirs. Too weird? Probably. But I have a feeling the owners are smelling a disaster and may be tempted to eat humble pie to avoid it. Pearson won't come back, thank God. The "Dog" has had his day.
ramboacdc Posted 27 February 2017 Author Posted 27 February 2017 who was the smart arse who requested preki from sky bet? because his price is appearing on other markets now! ...reopen the thread?!
