Cooper is an experienced manager who has survived a relegation scrap before but I'd rather chew my own foot off than have him back. Who gives a shit about credentials when your gaffa looks like this

This is genuinely better logic than seeing some on here trying to justify that, in reality, they just want a sexy name.

I don't think theres bitching and moaning, just people, like me, wary of this appointment. But I'll back him and I feel more positive than I did with Cooper, that is for certain. 

 

RVN isn't one I'd go for 

Bitching and moaning is standard 🤣  Whoever gets appointed needs to be backed and it would be nice if we had some siege mentality and ,heaven forbid, maybe even some positivity  or if not , let's wait and see how they do before the negativity

If it's Ruud, yes, there's some risk—but every manager comes with that. I’d be excited to see him take charge. He seems to have something about him; he's up-and-coming coach, and he’ll earn the players' respect right away. And he'll have a vision for the club. The priority is keeping us up this season, but you can see him also wanting to focus on young talent and push us/and his own managerial career forward.

Bergamo's a shit hole apparently. @Finnegan reckons it's twinned with Aberdare. 

 

Look, 99% of my family lives between Cwmdare and Abercwmboi. I spent a lot of my childhood in Godreaman.

 

I feel pretty ****ing qualified in saying Aberdare is a hole okay lol

 

I tell you what, I'll let you all decide.

I get why fans want a more proven manager, but what you also get with a proven manager is a catalogue of failures (unless you're a very attractive proposition) and repeat pattern behaviour of sticking with the same principles that got them the sack before.

 

But going for a manager with minimal 1st team managerial experience is a punt that you're relying on high reward from high risk. The rewards though can be massive and as fans it's unlikely we truly know whether such a manager is destined to do so, where as a robust recruitment process from an effective sporting director and board should be able to tap in to that.

 

There's plenty of examples either way of such appointments that go astonishingly well and utterly wrong but I see precious little evidence of better success rate going for the types of proven manager we could attract.

Yeah, but there's also option C:

 

- Proven manager but unproven in English football - in the mold of Iraola, Hurzeler, Glasner 

 

It's not just Moyes or RVN

This is a massive risk. However, one thing I noticed about him when he took over at Man United for a few games is that he has an undeniable aura about him. He looked like the idea of managing a club that size didn't phase him. I'd like to think he'd have the respect of our players.

We won the league with Claudio Ranieri at the helm.

 

We failed to get out of the championship with a PL budget and Sven Goran fackkunnn Eriksen in charge.

 

We got relegated from the championship with the 3rd/4th best defence in the league. 
 

We sacked Martin Allen when he was on to something and there’s no doubt he would’ve pointed us in the right direction after years of utter shite.

 

We had an unbelievable era between 96-2001 while LITERALLY being a pub team. 
 

We messed up the best chance any club will ever have of sustainably breaking the wheel with two successive top 5 finishes while also being in Europe. 
 

We are an absolute basket case of a football club.

 

There are better managers and coaches out there but RVN likely has the right mix of nous, aura and respect that would more than likely connect with our leaders and get us going. 
 

Let’s have it. Yes I’ve been the Co-op again 🍷
