Putting a lot on faith there. Especially coming out of the situation he's been through with Wednesday.

was trying to see it from his perspective and why he would take the job. 

 

Despite our issues, we are still plenty equipped to be winning a lot of games in the Championship. The level is shocking. It made Vestergaard and Faes look like prime Maldini and Puyol, last time we were here.

Gotta overcome the 12pt deduction first

To be fair I'd accept a shit sandwich if I was at Wednesday right now

Not been mentioned for a while, but does anyone want to speculate on how many points we might be deducted?

1.2

I reckon it will be 8 and we will challenge it and get it down to 6.

I certainly hope Rohl is the guy. But serious question - why would any manager with options work for us right now? How can you possibly believe you'll be backed?

We’ve still got a couple of assets we can sell for big money, money that far supersedes any club at that level.

The gap between the Premier League and Championship is growing wider.

 

Even with a points deduction, we’ll most likely be around the top half, even with the squad we have. 
 

What this squad isn’t though, is as good as two seasons ago. 
 

We are still a very attractive proposition for a manager. I think we just need to appoint the right one, unless we want to focus on a major squad overhaul. We don’t have time for that, so it sort of narrows the type of Head Coach / tactical approach we’ll approach. 
 

Rohan fits that bill from what I’ve seen. My concern is, so did RVN and that was a right cluster****!

Rohl alongside Powell should get the players onside fairly quickly.

Not sure I agree with this theory that having ex players in coaching roles necessarily gets players and fans onside. 
Getting back to winning matches will get both onside. 
Not that I’m comparing us with Man Utd but how many ex players have they had there since Ferguson left in coaching roles? Ruud, Carrick, Butt and Ole as manager. 
It doesn’t guarantee success if anything it puts more pressure on those involved because of previous experiences playing for the club. 
Our most successful periods have been coaches and managers with no previous connections with the club.

I think it's more that ex players know the DNA of the club, and will hopefully instill a work ethic and drive which reflects what the fans expect.

12 point deduction off Leeds last season would have seen them finish 4th…. We would have finished 5th.

 

Firstly we won’t be starting on minus points, this is dragging out… or we will get a minuscule punishment if any at all.

 

Secondly, we would get a 12 point deduction and still beat Readings record. So, it’s pittance.

Why? 

They're just another set of coaches to the majority of these players. 

 

RvN is up there with one of the best strikers to have played in the Prem, yet was seemingly ignored pretty early on.

I get what you’re saying but there’s no evidence that will happen. 
I know he hasn’t been back at the club long but since King has returned it’s got worse not better. Not that I’m singling him out and expecting a huge improvement but it’s rare to see. 
I can’t think of many if any ex players going back to clubs as a manager or assistant manager and having success.  Possibly Wilder at Sheffield Utd.

I am struggling so much to deal with your naive and simpleton posts on this forum it honestly makes my brain hurt at times 🤣

It's the DNA of the club and the current work ethic that are a large part of the problem

I profusely apologise!, but sometimes the simpleton approach is the right approach in this manner, treat the players with dignity and respect you should get the same in return that's the mantra of Rohl and co, RVN didn't and he wasn't well backed, it's as simple as that 

[splinterdream]

If it is Danny Rohl, I'd be excited for the appointment, and here's why.

As far as our recent history goes, we're in the gutter, at a low point, similar to Wednesday when Rohl.took that position, he also has no history above us, so no big ego, he'll hopefully come in with a project in mind, to build a squad, it may take a bit of patience but I need to see us move in the direction of progress.

Rohl can clearly organise and motivate as that's the qualities weve seen him demonstrate at Wednesday, as opposed to RVN that had only managed a side already top of their league, and furthermore the majority seem behind this appointment which means Rohl will get more time and more love if he gets it right, so fingers crossed for me.

Really? There's a strong argument that the players have been appeased too much already and that more of a 'Brian Clough'- type approach is needed.

You get 12 for administration, they would never get 12 to stick in a million years.

Unless KP completely go pop, I think we'll get a points deduction and still finish playoffs tbh.

Exactly this, i would be quite happy to see all of the current squad over the age of 21 pxxs off. Bunch of pampered babies for years

We could still win the league… take Readings 106 points. With 12 deducted they still win the league, comfortably. A half decent summer and even with deduction we could still win the league.
