Fair play to him if he backs himself to build here though! 1

Aleksz Posted 28 April Posted 28 April Incredible coup if it were to happen. Share the scepticism of others of why he’d sack European football for us though - despite being of the opinion we have a lot more pull than many of our fans think right now. 1
indierich06 Posted 28 April Posted 28 April I mean, he sounds great - but why the **** would he come here?

Maybe if it was the old style European football, smaller groups, tougher draws etc. But the way Europa/Conference League is structured now there's every chance you make it through to a knockout phase. I just can't see it
Lionator Posted 28 April Posted 28 April The source is questionable and it doesn’t fit the mould of how we do things, so I’m calling BS on this until proven otherwise. 1
teblin Posted 28 April Posted 28 April I guess we are still seen as a big club, he might see it as an opportunity to create some history.
Chelmofox Posted 28 April Posted 28 April Would be our first Dutch manager. Sadly, not our first Dick though. 1
BrianBeane Posted 28 April Posted 28 April So vastly different from the profile of any manager we have considered previously. I'm all for it, have no idea if his style would work but it would certainly be different to the other rubbish we've had. I wonder if this is an early sign of a change in direction led by McCaron?

SemperEadem Posted 28 April Posted 28 April Swear Nixon called the manger correct and early before. 1
CruzNoir Posted 28 April Posted 28 April As far as Club size goes, We dwarf NEC We’ve the far bigger fan base, stadium, world class training facility to boot and also, something that talks quite often the most, is Money, Dick might be trying too finish in a CL Spot for CL football next season, but I dare say even in League 1 we’d be able too pay far more money Thats pretty much all NEC has going for them, the fact they are playing for Champions League football next season, quite a big thing mind Get him in our dreamy training facilities McCarron, offer him double his money, sell the vision of getting back too the premier league, he’ll sign on the line quicker than a quick thing from quick land

I guess it comes down to whether we're going to continue in the same mould (which has led to successive failures and our worst ever season) or try something different. I understand why many remain cynical, but maybe the appointments of McCarron and Davies really did signal a change of approach after all...
CosbehFox Posted 28 April Posted 28 April Got to be the McCarron influence hasn’t it? Complete change of tact 1
Lambert09 Posted 28 April Posted 28 April 15 hours ago, cityfanlee23 said: As others have pointed out, Carsley might be a shout, I think the jobs he's been linked with so far are typically lower champ clubs, I think for where we were 12 months ago it was probably too much of a risk on an unknown, up and coming manager, but Carsley would play the youth which is something we need to do, and League 1 you'd hope would be a good starting point for both of us for a rebuild, it hopefully takes the immediate "risk" factor away as its clear he has potential as a manager, but needs a team to take a gamble on him transitioning to club football, maybe this is the perfect opportunity for that. I'd imagine that he would also have decent relationships with prem clubs who need to loan players out too. Could be the right manager at the right time. I think he will be out of our reach now. Should have gone for him last season, I really rate him. But what I will say, is that just because someone manages an under 21 side that doesn’t mean they will play youth. He has to play youth in that because it’s his job but as cooper proved, when they have the option… that might not translate. Is there evidence of him playing a younger player with more promise but maybe not as immediately good for the under 21s? Or did he stick to the the older options? I’m sure someone would know because that’s the bigger indicator. It he was happily having an 18/19 year old in the u21s then he’s more likely to take a gamble. 1
