Big Red Rich Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Assuming sense prevails and LJ is relieved of his duties the 2 names mentioned most are Pearson & Rowett. But who else is there that we would look at? Perhaps someone already employed? One thing for certain and that's we can't have anymore "up & coming" managers, this one has got to be right.

cidered abroad Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've said elsewhere, go for Mick McCarthy. Wily, experienced, keeps Ipswich ticking over without big transfer funds. Might be boring to start with but he'd keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Uwe Rosler had high praise for us. Think he would be interested. Rowett - out of our league Pearson - too much of a nut job for SL perhaps European like our recent transfers? It's worked for Huddersfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Don't understand people who, whenever are faced with a manager situation, always point to who's 'free and available'. Monumental amounts of managers in jobs across all leagues apply for jobs when they already have one. I think a decent amount of championship managers would apply - apart from the obvious. rowett 100% 1st choice for me but he'll be at Norwich by the end of Jan especially after them losing to Rotherham today. Which can free up Alex Neil to us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Nigel Adkins, not saying I'd rather him but fits the criteria.

old_eastender Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Rowett is the stand out candidate, don't understand why people are saying he would not come here. We genuinely have massive potential, an owner who is prepared to put his money into the club, even the benefit of Mark Ashton - who for my money has been doing good deals, Paterson apart but that was LJ insistence.

Roster would be a good choice, or someone like that. I'm coming to the conclusion that LJ can learn all he wants from books, courses etc, but we need either someone who's been there and done it managerial-wise at this level or hopefully above (would they come here....similar situation to last season), or we go for someone who's played top level, and can relate that back to the players. Didn't want to say it, but I think LJ is showing up the gap on his CV of not playing at a higher level (let alone managing at this level) and therefore has nothing to translate back to the players from experience. Maybe that is why the so called rumours re O'Neil/Tomlin are because they can see the errors. #speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Controversial but wish we got warnock last season...knows this league inside out...his teams are nasty but effective we are far to nice from top to bottom...would love our team to have some nasty ***** like bamba and Connolly...you may not like the football but it works for the short term. the job he did at Rotherham last year and Cardiff this are admirable whatever you think of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent manager. Yes, poor old Birmingham who still have a far higher pedigree than we do. That said, of course I take your point he was there in difficult circumstances. But if we are serious about kicking on as a football club then we need a manager we think can get us promoted from this division and McCarthy when given a half decent budget has proven he can with Wolves and Sunderland, as well as plying his trade in the top flight.

Win% is pretty meaningless as a statistic. P10 W1 D9 L0 12 points Win % 10% P10 W3 D0 L7 9 points Win % 30% Rowett's points per game is significantly better that LJ's As for whether he'd come here, he took over at Bimingham immediately after they'd lost 0-8 at home to Bournemouth and (I think) with the owner in Jail.

Yes, that is true! Though I disagree a win % is a meaningless statistic. Of course Rowett would come here, no idea why people would think otherwise. He's not a stand out candidate for me though.
