Is there anyone in that area that would be worth a punt? Pearson got sacked by Southampton though, we didn’t just take him from there.

But it will show the club haven't learnt anything and haven't got the will to change. We need a fresh break and a new direction. Possession football is dead. But like I say, I doubt he'd come, it'll beneath him.

Raj Posted 27 April Posted 27 April Does anyone have any faith in this management team appointing a decent manager? No chance.

DLH Posted 27 April Posted 27 April Ideally, we have someone in place by the start of June. If we want to hit the ground running and change the culture within the club, we need a new manager in place, at the earliest opportunity. The longer it drags, the worse the atmosphere deepens at the club for the players and the fan base. Do I have any faith in this happening? Not really, unfortunately.
LCFCJohn Posted 27 April Posted 27 April It really isn’t a subject I can get enthused about. We know this will rumble on. The one positive if you can even call it that, of us knowing our fate quite early is that we have time to turn that into an advantage and get the ball rolling early. But you know that they just won’t have even accepted relegation yet let alone thought about this. It will likely be well into June before we even hear anything official about Rowett which will be that he is not staying. New manager will not be announced until maybe the second week in July if we are lucky. And all for what? We know whoever it is will fail. We’re going to do through all this for whoever it is to be binned in February time with us languishing in the bottom half. Vile club.
Mike Oxlong Posted 27 April Posted 27 April Rick Passmoor. Bought out of his LCFC women's team contract and given a 4 year deal by the men's team.
Popular Post nnfox Posted 27 April Popular Post Posted 27 April As much as bad decisions have harmed the club, I'd argue that periods of indecision, especially around managers have cost us more. I'm genuinely at the point of not particularly caring who the manager is right now, but what I would like to see is some quicker decision making. If Rowett is going, announce it this weekend. If he's staying, announce it this weekend. If he does leave, get on with appointing someone asap. Please don't drag it on as we have done previously, let's get someone in before 1st June so they can have a decent summer of watching the tapes back, understanding what players we have, what we need and then get cracking so that we hit the ground running on the first day of pre-season training. My fear is that after the final whistle this weekend, Top and Rudkin will switch their phones off and put their out of office on until the training ground reopens for pre-season and we'll be starting from the pit lane, instead of being at the front of the grid waiting for lights out. 9

The only player who’s looked capable of running this season is JJ, who did pre-season with Rennes. The wait to hire Marti was criminal 1

We aren’t going to stay up. Who manages us? Pearson isn’t going to happen. Rowett has gone the wrong way and proven incapable. Skubala won’t abandon a promoted Lincoln before anyone suggests him. King isn’t anywhere near ready. So come on, realistically who’s taking over? See my new book just out on Amazon, 'From Heroes to Zeroes, How LCFC went from winning the Premier League to playing third-tier football, in 10 years.' There are lots of decent managers about and when I say decent I mean managers who have a proven track record of success. LCFC are not going to get the head coaches at Lincoln and Cardiff in L1 and Paul Warne at MK Dons in L2 (for example) who have just got their clubs promoted. But we could try and get a manager such as Nathan Jones at Charlton. He played a vital role in Luton's rise from League 2 to the Premier League in 2 successful spells and was also Brighton's Assistant Head Coach. Leicester are a bigger club than Charlton and I believe Jones would be tempted by the challenge having secured Championship survival for Charlton this season. And btw, I don't think Andy King is management material. 1

Haven't got a clue at boardroom level None of them will come. I mean seriously? Marsesca?? After the sh*tty little stunt he pulled on us?? Potter??? Gary Megson in disguise and Dyche (the draw specialist) haven't we suffered enough under the clueless Rowett???? I've touted Nathan Jones at Charlton.
