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. 

Carsley has been at the KP a few times. I think even this season. I think this is a solid shout, and it’s probably at a level where everyone could be willing to take a risk. Especially if the remit is to promote youth. I’d buy into it for sure.

Randomly stumbled on this, when looking into unemployed managers -

started like a house on fire at Aberdeen before it all went abit sour…but knowing our club, if he was on a shortlist before, he will be on it again.

 

 

i wouldn’t be shocked if we looked at Wilfried Nancy either

Carsley I would be on board with. Be surprised if he wanted it.

Yes I would. Because there’s zero chance of it happening.

No u21 tournament for england this summer so would be available to get stuck in straight away.

Straight after the summer transfer window closes you mean.

Carsley is not dropping to league 1 to manage this lot. He managed the England senior team only just over a year ago. His pedigree is much higher. He would take most Championship jobs available and could even get a gig at Prem level for bottom half club struggling.

Russell Martin, sadly .

I hope you're right on that one. The idea of Martin or Carsley managing us makes me shiver

Not having that at all - he would be lucky to get a sniff of our job - never managed a league team and did an fa job for a couple of games for England - not getting a prem job in a billion years - champ maybe but he is a midlands boy and ours might suit - it’s not a normal league 1 job is it - he might like the idea of the kids - probably already knows a good bit about a few - saying that I’d take him over quite a few others

If Davies leaves Brum we'll be looking at him. 

 

I think I'd prefer Martin over him, but not sure to be honest. Don't really want either. 

 

Actually update here, they are 10th so not bad for a newly promoted team but they have spent money.

Is there any indication that Carsley is even interested in going back to club management. Something he hasn't done for years and then only for short spells. Got a nice little gig coaching the England youngsters without the stress of club football

Not sure who...

Don't need to pay for the paywall, it's Ruud van Nistelrooy again

Isn’t this the team where they basically have no set positions they just bomb forward constantly?

How exactly are we planning to attract a coach from European Football to league one?

Yeah pretty much 2 goals a game wherever he's coached  

[RowlattsFox]

Assume it's agent led if there are truth in it because I don't believe we've sounded him out as an option

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

Dick Shredder? 

[RowlattsFox]

Can't wait to have Vestergaard at the back with this guy

Yep, he’s been given lots of praise online for his football recently.

So we'd have a Dick as a a manger and a Dick as a Chief Football Officer?
