Richie Wellens possible candidate. 

 

Like what I read here from good old wiki

 

"Wellens favours his teams to play attacking football, believing long ball and defensive minded football to not be suitable to long-term success.[57] He cites former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson as a major influence on his approach.[57] Using a preferred formation of 4-2-3-1,[58] Wellens likes his teams to play out from the back and be patient,[59] Wellens likes his player to maintain a high level of intensity, even during training sessions"

NOPE

Play out from the back and be patient sounds to me that could be reworded as slow possession amongst the back 4. Intensity during training sessions- don't worry we can injure the other half of the squad as well.

No excuse not to if the sports science is looked after.

 

All but Manchester City in the PL would love our facilities, never mind the Championship.

Not with our injury record

I suspect Rodgers' training methods and ignoring the medical team had a lot to do with that.

Whoever the manager is, they have to make us the fittest and most hardworking team in the league. I would like to think that we will have more quality than most teams in the league and if we outwork the opposition then our quality should show. 

 

Last time we were in the championship we didn't just have more quality than most teams in the league, we were a cut above anyone else in terms of fitness and athleticism. 

This for me is the main failure this season. Our lack of fitness and athleticism compared to other teams has been shockingly bad. Others will say it’s desire, lack of fight… but anyone that has played sport/competed at a high level will know when you feel physically and mentally exhausted, being able to get stuck in, be intensive is impossible to do.

Duff is my man.

One for the Championship Manager fanatics too, was legendary on that about 15 years ago.

 

He's definitely a brilliant man manager and coach by the sounds of it.

Yes got a CM magazine in WH Smith around early 2004 and they did an article/interview with him.

i'm going to get hammered for saying this and I don't care 😂 

 

Scott Parker

 

Promoted Fulham in 2020 through the playoffs

Promoted Bournemouth in 2022 automatically

 

We need a manager that knows the division and knows what it takes to get the team up

 

 

He only just managed automatics with Bournemouth, it looked like Forest were going to catch them for much of the latter stages of the season, I recall Bournemouth throwing away lots of must wins against average teams. His response to the 9-0 this season was pathetic too and had shades of Rodgers, went to the media and bashed his players and said they weren't good enough to stay in the division and then when he was replaced by his assistant it turned out they were good enough.

 

At Fulham and Bournemouth he inherited squads that were promotion ready too, he has no track record in squad building. Would be a terrible choice.

I think Duff is a good shout. A risk, but I can see it working. And get Dave Rennie back. For all the talk of protests, there should be one for this guy

Genuinely think we'll waste time trying - and failing - to convince Potter to come. 

 

I get the feeling the board will want a 'name'. 

Let's try for Nude Man Fist A Boy then.

 

And I don't mean Philip Schofield.

I don’t know much about duff and his methods. But it was how we used to recruit managers.

 

oneill worked his way up as did Brian little. Ok it’s didn’t work out with Taylor. But big nige was a similar appointment.

He really reminds me of Pearson in how he speaks to the media. Obviously he’s younger, and he’s less oppositional than Pearson was at times, but he plays a good brand of football.

 

Interestingly he’s always played 3-5-2 (or 3-4-1-2) as a manager. With our lack of ability to recruit a decent winger recently this might not actually be a bad thing. Realistically we could line up like this if we are brave and keep Kel for the season:

 

Iversen

 

JJ

Souttar

Faes

 

Ricardo

New CM

KDH

Kristiansen

 

New AM

 

Kel

Daka

 

Suddenly that team looks very capable for the championship. Clearly we’d need to sign a good few more players for the squad, especially as JJ and Ricardo aren’t reliable for fitness, and I’m not sure how effective Kristiansen would be in that role, but I think it goes some way to showing that if we’re smart in our appointment of a manager, potential recruitment may become less daunting too.
