IF (a big if) we stay up under Rowett, do we keep him on?

Poll

[phoneticerror]

If he keeps us up, I wouldn’t be opposed. But let’s not go crazy on the length of the deal.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Not sure yet, early days, he has definitely improved us and made us more stable at the back but I think it’s a bit of a crossroads, as I am not sure long term he is the right fit especially given his reluctance to utilise the younger players at his disposal. 

[ourla]

I don't see why not.

 

Ultimately will make no odds whilst Top/Rudkin are running the show.

 

He's a good Championship manager which is where we will be.

Potentially he will have to use the young lads next season as so many senior players will be leaving, but you’re right we’ve definitely improved under his management. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Yes.

 

And yes if we go down too

 

Who else we getting? Time for some stability and a manager the fans can get behind

You know what if we stay up. I think you might be right 

[Rubbersoul]

If we stay up next season will be all about just staying up again imo. 

[Leicesterpool]

Depending how we stay deffo deserves a chance. Maybe what the club needs more of back to basics coach.

[Pita]

If he keeps us up he will deserve it. As he is starting to get our rubbish players playing football 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Yes. He’s a good fit for where we are and what we need, which is a dollop of common sense! 

[BrilliantFox]

NOPE!  Anyone who says yes is Rudkin in disguise.

Going to repeat myself from a few weeks ago

 

"Absolutely not."

"Much better managers will be available in the summer."

 

"Why recruit a Technical Director if he's unable to bring his own head coach in?"

"We as a fanbase constantly bemoan our ownership for thinking short-term and making impulsive decisions, we should be relieved that Rowett is only on a 6 month contract and won't be extended."

A sign of a good coach? some of the greats from the past did that.

[Angus Scott]

We should definitely keep him, we badly need stability.

However we won't keep him, the recruitment of the geezer from Man City means that we will be looking for someone to play tippy tappy & bore everyone to death

[Jacnah]

Depends on what funds are like. If we are going to struggle to bring good players in then if hes done a good job of turning things around then yes keep. If financially there are real opportunities for improvement and real credible ambition then i think its worth holding fire and seeing whats out there. Thats not a no, but it is a 'depends'

I voted yes because this board cannot be trusted with hiring someone. Let’s be honest Rowett was a last resort and if it works out for him until the end of the season, that automatically makes him a better choice than whoever they might try and get for 2 months after the season finishes. 

[Devonfox1884]

Yes. But on the condition that it is 1 year, with a second being triggered by achieving a milestone - the playoffs.

[Joe90]

Yes don’t see why not, we are certainly not in a position to get much better if any,

We promote next season.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

No chance it’ll happen. We have an owner who thinks the right thing is for us to try and be a mini Man City.

 

If we stay up it’ll be some kind of Russell Martin type and a version of Enzoball.

[winteriscoming]

If and it’s a massive if we stop up fvcking look abroad for a new manager. 
 

[BenTheFox]

I think he is the kind of manager who will want players that are ready made for the championship. I'd imagine it would be similar to what Eustace has done at Derby. Maybe that is what we need. However, it would be disappointing if we don't see any signs of a road map for academy players. If we stay up, I'd happily take a boring season of being a mid table championship side after the season we've had. 

[lcfc sheff]

We more importantly need an identify and strategy for the team set by a sporting director, and then identify a manager who suits that. 
 

Gary’s job is to keep us up 

[Swarles Barkley]

No because it won’t be long until the fans turn on him. Scrapping draws and grinding our results works when fighting relegation but if our aim is promotion and therefore our mentality changes then the football won’t be deemed good enough. 

[bmt]

Yes but needs to bring through some of our youth.
