ClaphamFox Posted 27 January Posted 27 January 3 minutes ago, Clever Fox said: He Done a good job with Bournmouth and Wolves bringing young players through. Are you joking? He was absolutely horrendous at Wolves. He had no ability to handle the dressing room and they became a toxic mess, with their players scrapping with each other on the pitch. At Bournemouth they sacked him after they’d had a relatively good season because they could see that he was a coach, not a manager, and sensibly acted before it all fell apart. He’ll never be a successful manager, although he may go back to being a good coach again.

But the form was so bad (e.g. the run of games without scoring) that it made keeping RVN almost untenable, and the club concluded they needed a fresh start with a new manager and assistant.
davieG Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Chris Coleman, the former Wales and Fulham boss, is under consideration for the vacant manager’s job at Leicester City, sources have told Football Insider. Coleman is well-known to the Leicester ownership, having worked for their sister club OH Leuven in Belgium before his dismissal in June 2025. The 55-year-old helped steer Leuven steer clear of relegation in his first season in charge, having taken over when the club were third-bottom of the Belgian Pro League. Leicester are searching for a new manager following the sacking of Marti Cifuentes over the weekend, with first-team coach Andy King placed in interim charge. The Foxes have high hopes for coach King and see him as a future manager, and feel Coleman could be the perfect mentor due to their long-standing association together with Wales. Coleman is free and available having left Greek side Asteras Tripolis earlier this month, and would be interested in working alongside King to help the former Wales midfielder in his fledgling coaching career. 1

But he did save Bournemouth from relegation and was well liked by the Fans. Wolves started well then something happened within the Club. Probably like our mess at the moment. Not always the mangers fault. Since going to Strassbourg the're flying up the Table. I still think he's better than some give him credit for.

Tuna Posted 27 January Posted 27 January (edited) Rowett was asked about the job on Sky Sports just now, played it cool but didn't exactly say there had been no contact, something along the lines of "sometimes there is something in it, sometimes not" (the links). Edited 27 January by Tuna
Ian Nacho Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Chris Coleman fvck off. Would rather throw a dart at a board full of League 2 managers. 3
5waller5 Posted 27 January Posted 27 January 2 hours ago, blockheadder said: I don't understand why people think Tony Mowbray is a firefighter. From what I recall he's quite a gung-ho manager who likes to build his players' confidence and get on the front foot. Plays football that the crowd enjoys watching. High scoring games, wins and defeats. He's done that with moderate success in Scotland and the championsip. Could inspire better performances from our under-performing players. That’s how I view him too … and when he leaves a club the fans are generally really disappointed
winteriscoming Posted 27 January Author Posted 27 January (edited) We are extremely predictable with appointing managers. Same managers with previous experience in the division. Each day imo we’ll release another name to gauge fan reaction and eventually appoint someone who’s distinctly average but slightly better than those mentioned previously. We will also throw in a foreign manager when we’re close to appointing someone else just to make it look like we’ve looked further afield than just this country. Bo Svensson when Cifuentes was appointed and Niko Kovac when RVN was chosen. Edited 27 January by winteriscoming

FoxKent_88 Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Some of these speculative links are horrific. Chris Coleman FFS haha. The club should at least be sounding out Pearson or Mowbray to see if they'd be prepared to come in on an interim / mentor basis with the carrot of moving into a DoF role.... But I think we'd all be shocked if they were doing anything that pragmatic or populist.

Thing is a manager who failed in the Premier League is going to be better than a manager who has never even got out of the Championship, which seems to be the level we are at now with 3rd rate dross like this Marti fraud, now Rowett 😫 1
