Carey 6 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Allardyce or McCarthy Experience of winning things/getting promoted is vital for the next man I reckon. I don’t feel as though it would guarantee promotion, but it would be good knowing that the man in charge knows exactly what it takes. We follow the same patterns every year under Johnson, I was fed up a year ago, in even more fed up of it all now. Looking forward to change.

It’s a matter of record that he came very close to being sacked in 16/17 when we were in the relegation zone. He narrowly survived. The target is different now but he is now failing again....we can’t say for certain how Lansdown and the board will view that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveInSA Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I do like Liam Rosenior...maybe a bit young, but with a DoF working above him? But this is what will happen: Johnson until the end of the season. Then fired. Then McCalister appointed. Relagation. McCalister fired. League 1 mediocrity for 3 years. Then promotion. I don't think SL wants us in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Christ, what a depressing thread. Most of the names mentioned make me want to slit my wrists. Mick McCarthy, Chris Hughton, Warnock, really? I’d like to see a young coach, possibly from overseas, similar to the Brentford manager. Who is leading the way in the premiership, at the moment? It sure as hell isn’t British managers over the age of 60 . I think those who believe Steve Lansdown won’t act are wrong. He has a vision for the club and if he feels that that is not likely to be achieved by LJ then I believe he will take action. The one thing you can say about Steve Lansdown is that he is no fool. He didn’t hand the job from GJ to Keith Millen. Millen was the right (indeed, the only possible) appointment after we had been let down by Coppell. We are on a different trajectory now, and I would bet a lot of money that Lansdown already knows who he would want to appoint if LJ has to go.

Tin Soldier Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 25 minutes ago, Hare Island said: Upgraded the ground, upgraded the scouting network, upgraded the squad, upgrading the training ground. Time to upgrade the manager. Agree, now is the time to make the change. Johnson is not a bad manager but has now peaked - found his level (mid table Champ at best), but we need new ideas from someone new. Also someone who can pick a best 11 and stick with it. That way the players will learn a system. The current chaotic team changes every game is just nuts! Johnson has run out of ideas. Cook at Wigan is one to look at IMO. Probably the type of manager SL will go for as he ain’t gonna go for a “No” man. He will get a “Yes” man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think SL wants us in the premier league. Why do people say this? Why would Lansdown invest £45,000,000 in a new stadium, rebuild the training ground and invest historic sums in the team if he didn’t want us to achieve the ultimate and reach the Premier League - the only place where he stands a chance of getting his money back? I find it so bizarre when people say this. It’s like some weird coping mechanism to deal with our perennial failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think SL wants us in the premier league. Sorry, but you’re wrong if you think Steve Lansdown doesn’t want success. He has gambled an awful lot of money on trying to see us in the Premier League. It is insulting to the man to suggest that he has not been trying to achieve that aim. It may not be working at the moment, and it may be terminal, but I understand what the Johnson project was all about, and I think I understand why Steve has stood by Lee for so long, given our recent history. Steve Lansdown has done more for this club than anyone since Harry Dolman, so please don’t insult him. If he walked, you’d be very sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, currently 10 of the 12 premiership clubs have British managers - I think St Mirren has an Irish manager and Hearts has a vacancy - but the rest are British - I don’t think any are over the age of 60 though, so you’ve got a point there ...

Huge experience as a player, winners mentality, Barca and Dutch tactical mindset, tough as a player though. Would win instant respect of the players, fans and staff. He is singleminded but also as a European should be used to the head coach model. Couldn't agree more, he'd be perfect for the job, which is exactly why we will never appoint such a figure!

cityloyal473 Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 In an ideal world I'd like Hughton but don't think he would come and if he did I think we'd be putting him in the shop window for someone else to come along and snatch should we be half decent. So, Mick McCarthy would be my choice. A solid, realistic appointment and one with a decent track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I like the Liam Rosenior suggestion and he's seems very astute as well as having the top level coaching qualifications at such a young age. LJ is a brilliant salesman but I suspect Liam Rosenior will make a much better football manager. He praises Tony Pulis here but only on the basis of consistency of a style of playing and each player knowing their specific role. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liam-rosenior-latest-shock-name-16380682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Warburton or Robins for me. Though if SL is still after a puppet and someone who won’t cause him too much agro then I’d be happy to see Liam Rosenior given a chance. Convinced he’s going to be very good manager.
