Master Fox Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 and I thought that too, right up to the point where he decided to sign Josh Low Now there's a name that holds some fond memories Didn't we get like £100,000 or something for him in the end?
Manwell Pablo Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Now there's a name that holds some fond memoriesDidn't we get like £100,000 or something for him in the end? Not quite, 50,000..
Fez of Mahrez Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Not quite, 50,000.. Rising to £100,000 though and with their team they should be challenging for promotion with him a regular.
Kilworthfox Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Paul Jewell From what I remember of PJ he has managed Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday & Wigan Both Bradford and Wigan teams he got promoted to the Premiership and kept them up. He has brought players in like Paul Sharner, Chris Kirkland, Emile Heskey, and Henri Camera. Also prospects like Leighton Baines were given opportunities to shine. This guy has been successful with traditionally unfashionable clubs. He is gritty and passionate, has a decent eye for talent and will get in players from the continent. He is the only real choice from the publicized suspects. He did however want a year out, and is 5 months in, a prospect of LCFC may be a good opportunity but he also may regard himself higher than us. I think our best chance to get him is if he has itchy feet and LCFC could be his Daktarin. Jewells Record Neil Warnock Neil Warnock is like Marmite in that you either love him or hate him. He has had lots to say about Leicester in the past which many will Hate him for. He does also though show a passionate side to his management not to dissimilar to very good managers. He led Sheffield United to Promotion but was unable to keep them in the top flight if somewhat in a strange situation. I did always like the way he set out Sheffield United when we played them as it was always a good game as they liked to attack, unfortunately for NW Leicester usually won! Very experienced manager but does he have the ability for LCFC? Warnock's Record Paul Sturrock Paul Sturrock is a man who talks a lot of sense, on the subject of football when ever I have listened to him. He has an impressive record of 4 promotions in the last 6 seasons but somehow finds himself at Swindon Town? He has managed in the Premiership if only for a far too short a spell thanks to a poor chairman IMHO. Has a very good record with Plymouth and Swindon. Also IMHO he did not get a fair crack at Sheffield Wednesday but I may be proved incorrect. Sturrock's Record Iain Dowie Ian Dowie shot onto the management scene with Crystal Palace when they were in the relegation Zone after sacking Alan Smith (No not that one! or that one!) He gained promotion to the Premiership in that same season with a magnificent turnaround to go up via the playoffs. Since then though his career has not lived up to the great start. He Did not keep up CP and then went to Charlton in a poor show of loyalty to CP and was not given long to succeed with them before he got the boot! Now he has made a good start with Kovscum but that is all it is the start when nothing is won as Sunderland prooved last year. Dowie's Record Gary Megson Gary Megson i really remember as a decent combative player. He did a reasonable job with WBA led them to promotion twice to the Premiership but they never stopped up, and he fell out with Jeremy Peice (WBA Charmian) too many times and got sacked. He moved to F*rest and did a great job for us Leicester fans so is that the man for us? NO! Megson's Record Peter Reid Peter Reid had the background as a player for you to believe he may be a successful manager with a very good career with England, Everton & Man City. His Management career has not been too impressive of late. One good season at Sunderland with promotion to the Premiership but was unable to keep them their after over 30 goal a season man Kevin Phillips lost his brilliant scoring touch. Most recently he has managed Leeds where he kept them in the Premiership with a last day win at Arsenal, but were then relegated with if i remember correct 12 :w00t: loan signings! At Kovscum he did a poor job so maybe he is a football humanitarian? He seems a decent guy on the TV but IMHO not at my club please we have already had RK we don't need a proven failure. Reid's record Glenn Roeder I struggle to understand what people see in GR. He has done a poor job at every club hes has been at. He talks like a twit on the TV and looks like a ferret! In short why would we employ this guy? Newcastle had a yet again poor season but this time under GR. At West Ham he got a side with future regular England internationals relegated. Just look at his record! Hopefully if he is appointed he will not be manager as it was reported he may become Director of Football, just as long as he is far enough away to not ruin our results I will be happier. Roeder's record
Joe. Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 That list ins't exactly encouraging but it's surely going to be one of those. For me it'd be Warnock. Unpopular I know, but I think he's the best manager ot of all of them and that's all I care about. EDIT: I say Warnock because Jewell's ruled himself out hasn't he?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 What about this random Chelsea guy? I know Maderic has stated he's looking for someone with experience - but he didn't say first hand. Surely working with the great one counts for something!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Lets get Bobby Robson in - I'm sure he's still up for a job!
A fox for life Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 very good Kilworth fox, i think from reading that Paul Jewell would be my choice. i'm really not a fan of peter Ried and Niel Warnock but will support anyone who comes in!
Kilworthfox Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 Oh goodie - another manager thread. I suppose I could start a topic on custard pies but maybe that would be too relevant for ya! Or i could state oh goodie another show of sarcasm which helps keep on topic
Daggers Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 I suppose I could start a topic on custard pies but maybe that would be too relevant for ya! Or i could state oh goodie another show of sarcasm which helps keep on topic Or, I suppose, you could simply put the same regurgitated comments in the manager rumour/opinions threads that you have put you similar previous comments. But hey - thanks for reminding us all what you think about them.
Claymore Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 I know it doesn't mean anything, but Glenn Roeder had a better points per game ratio at Newcastle in his relatively short spell there than MON had with us. I am not saying I want Roeder, but he wasn't as bad as people percieve. Just a shame he had a personality bypass.

Glen Roeder also had some of the best footballing talent in the Premiership at his disposal and spent a lot of money to boot.

If he has I'm sure this may well be a good part of the reason...MM's managerial patience record (as put together by Kettering Pete on Talking Balls): Alan Ball - 8 months Tony Pulis - 8 months Steve Claridge - 5 months Graham Rix - 13 months Harry Redknapp 2 1/2 years then brought in a DOF above his head Velimer Zajacc -5 months Alain Perrin - 5 months Redknapp again since dec 2005 And we all know what he's done here. MA2 lasted 5 months. Why would Paul Jewell, who can surely wait for a Premiership job, subject himself to a managerial life expectancy of just over six months (not counting Redknapp)? When he has the mind, and with precious little preamble, MM clears everything in front of him whether it's any good or not. He's more like a JCB than a chairman.

MM is more like a JCB than a chairman. Agreed. He is tho the benefactor of our club and we go with what he does simply as he is better than what we had here before. Football success is cut and dry, MM only succeeded with Redknapp so he got it right once (/ twice!). He did however realise when he got it wrong and aced upon it. PJ may not be willing to take the risk i admit, but on the other hand it would be an exciting challenge to take a big(ish) club back to some sort of success with a guy who is willing to support the right man, which Jewell has proved to be before

I am not saying I want Roeder, but he wasn't as bad as people percieve. Just a shame he had a personality bypass. And so he should have. He was manager of Newcastle not Leicester! Idiot and no comparison. Had MON been manager of Newcastle then..................!!
Thracian Posted 7 September 2007 Posted 7 September 2007 look at pompey now though!!established in premier league, millions to spend, european ambitions i'll have a slice of that all from a nothing div1 side. I haven't heard that Redknapp's coming here. And if you think sooner or later MM will get lucky again I'll say this. I once had red come up 19 times in succession on the roulette table. Thankfully I didn't bet it every time (and spent a small fortune backing it the 20th time to break even on the night) but the point still remains, there's no guarantee's of success however many times you change tack. Not because success wouldn't arrive on the law of averages but because you might not have backed the one that was going to be successful for long enough.
