Realist Guy In The Room Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 Also Micky Adams was brought in with Bassett with the full intention that he would take over the following season. Because we were already relegated with 3 matches remaining he took over earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They step in, get a couple of good results and get the job - but they can never keep it going over a longer period of time. So definitely not Shakespeare as permanent manager but I'm sure he will do well whilst we look for somebody else. Barcelona promote from within all the time. Guardiola, Vilanova. Real Madrid did it with Zidane. Chelsea did it with Di Matteo. For every time it doesn't work there is a time where it does. It is no more risky then hiring a completely new manager.

maddog Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 So Woy, Pardew and Hiddink have all had preliminary discussions with the club which can only be a good thing. They are already talking to people and will continue to do so then by the summer can make a decent informed decision about who to bring in. Shakey can steady the ship until the season ends. They've clearly given him Liverpool and Hull to make sure he's not John Carver or Terry Connor and the performance against Liverpool followed by a draw/win against Hull will make certain he's not a numpty. Then he'll be offered the gig on Tuesday after the Hull game until season ends, players are happy and settled with that and the media madness calms down, with 7 days to prepare well for Sevilla and focus.

Again with Di Matteo he had already been a manager. I was really thinking about 'number twos' who have always been 'number twos'. There are very few who can do a good managerial job over a decent length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 28 February 2017 Share Posted 28 February 2017 2 hours ago, ajthefox said: I agree with that, I never understood why Liverpool (or England) appointed him anyway. I think consolidating a top 6 spot will be incredibly hard but that's a separate issue really. I just pointed out it wasn't poor. There are 12 teams in the league right now who are all below 35% win percentage. Two are between 42 and 46% and the then the top 6 are all >50% Poor for Liverpool though. Hence the sack. Poor for Blackburn after he took over, (not that long after they won the league when they still had good resources) hence the sack. He's poor, past it and when he's had the resources, he's been unable to be anything other than average/slightly below average. He'd be a mind bogglingly bad appointment.

Pearson used to be a coach at Stoke under Gary Megson! Jose Mourinho started out as Bobby Robson's interpreter when he was in Portugal before Robson took him to Barcelona with him as a coach.

Are you aware that they were all part of the coaching staff at their respective clubs before becoming manager? The fact they played for them too never really crossed my mind. They were just some high profile examples of coaches who successfully transitioned to managers, but there are hundreds of others who do too.

ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 1 March 2017 Share Posted 1 March 2017 For once it seems like Rudkin has the same opinion as us. Really hope he convinces the owners that Shakey is a better option than Woy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 1 March 2017 Share Posted 1 March 2017 This is genius from the club. They know the players are in a delicate frame of mind this season and to get us back to the never say die, band of brothers of previous seasons they need to scare the players with the possibility of a Hodgson. The players know that another win vs Hull and Shakey, who they all love will then probably get the gig until the end of the season. It's a fantastic motivation tool. Keep this scaremongering vs Sevilla and we're in the fcukin quarter finals!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
