BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Jokanovic or Hughton for me both have experience of getting teams promoted from the championship (both have done it twice). Carlos Carvalhal is doing a good job at Rio Ave and did a good job at Wednesday. Karanka could be a good choice. Clough and wagner are not my first choice but I wouldn't be upset if either was appointed. Flores, Van Bommel, Silva are ones we probably couldn't get.

Onthefence Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 The way I see it we have a core squad of half decent players who have just lost faith in the management, and were probably embarrassed every time LJ opened his mouth to make his lame excuses or fantasy predictions. What the club needs is a strong manager who the players respect. I think any manager with half decent stats can turn this squad into a winning unit that plays as a team. The likes of Dasilva, Bentley, Kalas and Massengo have gone backwards as the season has progressed. They are all good players who have simply lost confidence or just have become despondent. We have quality young players in the squad and on the fringes, and under a decent manager things should improve quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackbird Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'll be very interested to see who Steve is targeting having gone out and got Pat Lam one of the top rated coaches in world rugby and sold him the idea that Bristol could become one of the top teams in Europe.

Bristol operate at a higher level and reputation to City, relative to their sports. And SL's money goes a lot further in rugby than in football.

QuedgeRed Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 The first requirement of a new manager HAS to be proven at promotion to the Prem. Jokanovich has done it twice, each with a different side, with a decent style of football too. He has to be our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollywhyte Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm not against Ryan Lowe. He talks the talk, but then also walks the walk with his football. Started the season poorly with Argyle but continued to pursue his attacking football until suddenly it clicked and they were flying. I live in Plymouth and can see how much he has united the fanbase and created a winning mentality. I get some feel the appointment needs to be 'ambitious' or someone who has won promotion to the Premier League before. But for me the appointment just has to be the right fit. Which I think he could be. Dyche, Howe etc all had to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicdaps Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 58 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Cost a fortune for top world class managers That's undoubtedly true but it also costs a fortune if you let the wrong manager make endless signings. Some of the names mentioned have been a little daft but Jokanovic & Hughton should be both attainable and realistic as we're now an established Championship club. Ryan Lowe is an interesting proposition but I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about it The other one I find intriguing is Paul Cook but he may well be a bit abrasive compared to the more statesmanlike figures of Hughton & Jokanovic who I think would both be appealing to the Bristol Sport "brand" (I know...it's a horrible word when used in a footballing context) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonG666 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 My vote was for Slavisa Jokanovic as he has proven he can get a team out the division (twice) with a different set of players and personalities and we know all too well how hard it can be to get into the Premiership and he looks like someone who wouldn't take no crap from the players Add to that the fact that it's been reported he would like to manage in England again and he is a decent age, but the question mark would be whether he would be the right man to work with the board and be a "Yes" man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 5 hours ago, Fordy62 said: Whoever gets this job is going to get the same poisoned chalice that Derek McInnes got. Bloated squad that needs trimming with no money to spend. SL really did back the wrong horse. I think we have an unbalanced squad but it is far more talented than McInnes had. There will need to be some trimming, but a good manager will make efficient use of the budget available, and trade accordingly. Although the arse might fall out of the transfer window, there is a flip side that bringing players in will be less expensive, including many freebies as clubs cut their cloth. We are nice and stable financially, and have built some FFP headroom to give the new appointment a fighting chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 4 hours ago, Port Said Red said: There are those who say they just want to be entertained, so this sounds promising. ”He is attack-minded, and Bury in 2018-19 were one of the Football League's highest-scoring teams; their style, described as "gung-ho",[3] soon brought success as the club finished second in League Two and earned promotion back to League One.[34] Lowe explained in an interview with The Guardian that he wanted to instil a "winning philosophy" and that, by outscoring their opponents, Bury would have a greater chance of achieving that goal. The on-field strategy is effectively a 3-1-4-2 formation” Whether it will work at Championship level who knows. It won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 The more I think about it the more I think Hughton is our man. He may see us as a similar challenge as he had at Brighton. Further we have good infrastructure in place at AG, stadium and business wise, and more being constructed in Failand so why not. Also, for some reason I feel sure we could afford him.

I feel like this played a big part in the timing of LJs sacking - they might have been wanting to wait till the end of the season, however with the playoff dream dead, and all the out of contract players floating around now and come the end of the season, it makes sense to bring someone in who’s going to have time to assess the squad and snap up any freebies while they’re available. There’s going to be some absolute bargains to be made this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have got the sack from Brighton but still left with a win % of 40.9% and fans shouldn't forget how he trurend Brighton around when they looke certainties to be relagated to league one before he took over.
