copunk Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 Some may laugh all they want but I genuinely believe Big Sam or Rafa would do the job Don't turn your nose up at these pair, folk can throw around some names like Poch, Potter etc but forget the absolute mess we are in We need someone in before Saturday, desperately On the Forest-Cooper point my brother in law is a massive Forest fan and he was saying before they lost last night that they are pretty close to sacking him as apparently the owner is furious with all the money spent and where they are in the league, think he will be the next to go within the week

AjcW Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 (edited) As a few others have said re Rudkin, the fact that we still have Mike Stowell on the touchline as go to caretaker, with all the change we've been through over the years, is indicative of the real issues we have behind the scenes at the club. He was first a caretaker at this club in 2007, 16 ****ing years ago!! And he's still the go to man? Best training ground and academy facilities in the country and there's not one member of staff you'd look at and think 'i'd take him till the end of the season!' It's absolutely nuts. (Tell a lie, i'd have given it to Knudsen in a heartbeat but we don't have that vision....) As an aside Stowell is very good mates with Big Sam, as is Shakey.... not beyond the realms of possibility sadly Edited 5 April 2023 by AjcW

I would be fine with Ralph, honestly. I think he’s a decent, competent tactician and man manager. But he’s going to want at least next season guaranteed, not a 9 match interim deal.

Obviously speculation. I think they will look at last night and think we would have got a point with eleven men so leave SAS in charge as they expect should beat Bournemouth- hugely arrogant approach imo and financial gamble - but then the gamble of giving Rafa and his team a three year deal and getting relegated is also a financial gamble rock and hard place 1
RowlattsFox Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 May as well of kept Rodgers if we aren't going to get anyone in. At the very least we need to add a coach with managerial experience to support. 4

It all depends on the Bournemouth game, apparently. If we play well and win, the club will stick with Stowell and Sadler; if there’s no obvious improvement and we don’t win, they’ll try to bring somebody else in for the last eight games. 1
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 5 April 2023 Posted 5 April 2023 We need Rafa. Look how badly organised we are at the back - that second goal was a total shambles and embarrassing at ANY level of football (even u9s).

They’ve gambled long enough on Rodgers and while they were positives last night, I’m not sure they’ve done enough to warrant being considered. Bournemouth is probably one of the biggest games in the clubs history.

At the very least we need to add a coach with managerial experience to support. I think a lot of people said that last night as they watched the game Every corner in the game (defensive or offensive) - Villa’s set piece coach was at the front of his tech area pointing everyone to where he wanted them and taking charge Knudsen came to the touchline twice in the whole game and why o why is barnes stood near madders for a short corner if the opponent is only going to take one man out of the area ? Pointless and we actually lose a man from the area to do it. Unless you draw two men out don’t do it - but if you have two on one at the corner then use that ??

And that makes sense, they know the players inside out. Villa are a team in form and we did ok till the sending off. Cut out the brain farts, spend a couple of days with Souttar practicing heading from set pieces and voila.
