Was he able to influence the attitude at all? I doubt it We had too many players last season that either not good enough or couldn't be bothered or both,.this season will be different any manager with reasonable football brain should get something out of the squad on paper we still should have a better squad that most. I don't see point of wasting money we can't afford on mega bucks manager that down the line we will sack

Shane Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 (edited) I don’t understand the O’Neil / Wilder links if PSR is such a big issue. We’ll be having to pay them off when they inevitably get sacked in 12 months time. Rohl and King are the only options that make sense long term in my opinion. Edited 7 July 2025 by Shane 1
foxfanazer Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 We're not a serious football club. Just give it to King and let's get on with our future of mediocrity.
daddylonglegs Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 I'm so grateful to these guys that they plan to identify their preferred candidate this week. Thank you KP. Thank you Jon. Really really good work.
Buzzell Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 (edited) I know it won’t happen but I would rather have King in charge if he got some good heads around him rather than an uninspiring appointment. Yes King has fvck all experience as a head coach but he has the respect from the fans, players and club which would give him some wiggle room if he didn’t start off great. Let him build something here. He’ll also promote youth too, which we seem to have a few gems within the youth team. Edited 7 July 2025 by Buzzell 2

winteriscoming Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 Hassenhuttl is definitely better than those who’ve been mentioned. Rohl isn’t going to happen. Get Hassenhuttl in. 1
Les-TA-Jon Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 (edited) I can't seem to reconcile this sentiment of 'Dyche/Wilder/O'Neil are rubbish, we're an unserious club, just give it to King even though we know he's got zero experience' Can't everyone see the contradiction there? Edited 7 July 2025 by Les-TA-Jon 1
Popular Post Ted Maul Posted 7 July 2025 Popular Post Posted 7 July 2025 We've got to be the only club in world football who would wait 2 months to sack their manager after knowing that's what was going to happen and still not have a shortlist drawn up. Incomprehensible incompetence, and if anything they seem to be getting worse. 6
bald reynard Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 Chris Powell in NOW as Coach, to work with Kingy, then when his boss comes in as Manager (whenever he can sort out his stuff with the 'looney'), CP to be Assistant. 1

Ricey Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 My head has fallen off at the "...hope to identify a preferred target this week" line. Just simply astounding. Get them all gone. 1
coolhandfox Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 It's obvious we want Rohl or someone else hard to get, Wilder, Dyche or O'Neill could have been appointed weeks ago. 2

I think it's fairly obvious Rohl is the main target. All signs very much point to that, it's not really much of a mystery. But he's obviously in a difficult contractual situation and we can't afford to pay his full compo. Think we'll end up with a Steve Cooper situation all over again. We're just going to hire any old idiot after spending days and weeks hanging on waiting for our first choice and giving no real thought to who the second choice will be when it doesn't come off. 2

ian__marshall Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 (edited) If Rohl isn't in the running then it has to be Dyche from the names mentioned. Don't want O'Neil or Wilder anywhere near this club. Genuinely won't use my season ticket next season if either of these clowns are appointed. If its not Rohl, then my preference from the out of work manager's (assuming that's the pool we're looking in) would be Cifuentes or Hasenhuttl. I'd even take Dean Smith over O'Neil and Wilder if that was an option. Edited 7 July 2025 by ian__marshall
Long Eaton Fox Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 I think Page has just found out who the new manager is 1

MPH Posted 7 July 2025 Posted 7 July 2025 1 hour ago, Stadt said: In 15 years of KP, we'll have only ever appointed two managers currently in a senior job. One of our greatest ever managers they forced out in the first place with the impending takeover for a big name and Rodgers. Sven - out of work, disaster Pearson Ranieri - out of work Shakespeare - already at the club Puel - just sacked by Southampton Rodgers - appointed from Celtic, huge success initially, never followed up by poaching a manager again Dean Smith - out of work Maresca - youth coach, hired on a recommendation Cooper - out of work RVN - out of work, literally just played us twice Pitiful record and it's amazing we've had any success under these charlatans it’s been a business decision to follow the ‘ out of work’ method. Not paying compensation means spending less money.
