Matt Posted 17 February 2008 Posted 17 February 2008 Coventry chairman Ray Ranson has revealed he is "very confident" of naming Iain Dowie's successor as Sky Blues boss in the next 48 hours.Dowie and members of his backroom staff were relieved of their duties last Monday, with Frankie Bunn placed in temporary charge for Saturday's 5-0 defeat at the hands of West Brom in the FA Cup fifth round. But Ranson told Sky Sports News on Sunday night: "We're moving in on things. "We've been doing a lot of work and have taken our time but I'm very confident of filling the management chair in the next 48 hours - maybe tomorrow, with a bit of luck." Martin Allen anyone? -Just to add that is joke, Not even seen any rumours linking him but would be funny, Infact that'd be terrible, probably bite us in the arse if that happened. Actually has anyone seen any rumours? I've not really looked into it that much. But Saturday's looking likely Coventry will have a new manager, Anyone in the mood to ruin someones party?!
lee7 Posted 17 February 2008 Posted 17 February 2008 only heard two rumours for the cov managers job and that was billy davies and chris coleman.
surrifox Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 ..according to BBC . His career is on a major downturn then,- no new manager boost I hope before the weekend
Phube Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Now we'll really see if he would have been good enough!?
Koke Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 New manager syndrome. Always a bad sign when the team you're facing have just appointed a new gaffer.
Ric Flair Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Good appointment for them really. I know he's not got experience in this league, but he did fairly well at Fulham. Really big game for us next Saturday now. It would be horrible for them to win in his first home game, we have got to spoil their big doo. Absolutely hammer them and upset Paul Henderson.
Finnegan Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 OH FOR ****S SAKES. Earnshaw to Derby. Now Coleman to Cov. What's next, Koumas to Forest?
The People's Hero Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Koumas was going to come here on loan (view to a move - rolling contract) but pulled out after having a tantrum about the kop being at the wrong end.
lee7 Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 if he is appointed covs new manager then we have to go there and ruin the party.
Onion Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 im gutted as i wanted coleman here before we appointed martin allen.
Finnegan Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Koumas was going to come here on loan (view to a move - rolling contract) but pulled out after having a tantrum about the kop being at the wrong end. Yeah, I hear he didn't want to have to pay £493274892 for his half time burger, either. And let's be fair, Jacey Koumas probably gets through a few.
Daggers Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 ..according to BBC . His career is on a major downturn then,- no new manager boost I hope before the weekend Like the new manager boost Newcastle just got? Or all of ours for ages prior to IH? Someone more bored than me can dig out the facts to prove or disprove my statement that "new manager boost" is an urban myth.
The Stig Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 im gutted as i wanted coleman here before we appointed martin allen. Snap, I rate him as a manager. He'll do well for them and would've done great for us. Saying that I'm now happy with Ollie.
Koke Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Like the new manager boost Newcastle just got? Or all of ours for ages prior to IH? Someone more bored than me can dig out the facts to prove or disprove my statement that "new manager boost" is an urban myth. I'm too lazy to dig out any stats/statements but I'm sure it's no myth. New Manager Syndrome does exist me thinks.
Phube Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Koumas was going to come here on loan (view to a move - rolling contract) but pulled out after having a tantrum about the kop being at the wrong end.
BedsFox Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Makes Saturday's game harder does it not? Always nice to play a managerless team. Time after time we've gone to a place with a new manager and his first game and got tonked Sigh
SamL Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Makes Saturday's game harder does it not?Always nice to play a managerless team. Time after time we've gone to a place with a new manager and his first game and got tonked Sigh To think we were taking the mick out of that Cov fan because he said they were getting Coleman. How he was right. Lets hope he can't work miracles and win his first game.
Joe. Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 Can't say it pleases me to see Coventry have a new manager right before our game Especially because it's Coleman as well, I like him as a manager to be honest.
DB11 Posted 19 February 2008 Posted 19 February 2008 What about Keane's first home game? We spoiled the party then (kind of)
lildave3 Posted 19 February 2008 Posted 19 February 2008 Makes Saturday's game harder does it not?Always nice to play a managerless team. Time after time we've gone to a place with a new manager and his first game and got tonked Sigh Name 3 for me. And Sam, i'd hardly say beating us is performing miracles
