robin_unreliant Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Would be interesting to know what his definition of a 'particular type of person' would be. Does he just want someone to get us over the line. Does he want someone who will focus on the academy. Didn't really give us any clues to go on.

RedM Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Was it last time or the time before when we were looking for a Manager we were told that we would be ‘surprised’ by who had applied* Now we have ‘good’ applicants. *It can’t have been last time as I don’t think there was any surprise when Lee was appointed. Must have been when we got Cotts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born and Red in 82 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I wonder if he’ll make the new Manager change his surname to Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clutton Caveman Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I have the feeling that our current top management set up cannot accept a coach with a strong personality. I think that confrontation is avoided at all cost and we will look for another nice obedient controllable coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Not sure why, but that short interview didn't fill me with confidence. Can't see it being Hughton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Anyone listening to this & still thinking Hughton, McCarthy or Karanka are under serious consideration is deluding themselves. It is going to be a L1/L2 nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant take another period of "rebuilding". Now surely is the time to tweak what we have and just add the missing pieces of the jigsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor me, SL will stick to his model, he's just not comfortable with an experienced manager who would want more control over recruitment than LJ had. If we'd have wanted CH we would have made a move by now I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 At about 1:25 in, when he is speaking about candidates i swear to god he nearly said shit list, then corrected to short list. Lets hope its the latter! All in all very honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 "build on what Lee's done and get us to the PL" That doesn't scream "will appoint someone from L1/L2" to me, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Seems reasonable to me. No appointment comes with guarantees of success or failure, so see who it is, and keep an open mind. As we discovered this season, spending big guarantees nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I have to agree with most a few things said don't instil confidence in it being the type of experienced manager most want/feel we need... but you never know...

He stated he wants someone to get us into the prem and continue with the good work in the academy/pathway. If you need more clues than that, you have my sympathy!!

BrizzleRed Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 The vibes coming out of the club just don’t feel right. With highly respected and successful managers like Chris Hughton and Mick McCarthy publicly declaring their interest, people at the club should literally be doing cartwheels, as I don’t remember us getting managers of that calibre interested in us before. Instead of that, the club’s response is very flat, with SL describing them as just “good” applicants. Just doesn’t sound at all upbeat to me and I’m bracing myself for a big disappointment when the appointment is eventually announced. With City’s generally piss poor record in managerial appointments, aren’t we all just setting ourselves up for another big letdown, if we hold out hope that they may get one right for a change?

SL is very clear in the aim of Premier League football asap (I'm actually surprised about how explicit he is being about that) and appointing an inexperienced candidate is going to leave himself open to considerable criticism if it goes wrong.

Absolutely. As always, there are those on here who are being unnecessarily anxious. It obviously gives them some reason to type something, whether its based on what has actually been said, or what's in their head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd73 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 What Kid said Aim is to get to the PL as soon as we can. Doesn't scream of appointing a noob or up and comer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Getting to the prem league is his sole intention,So to me I can't see an up and coming manager being appointed after hearing that and saying that the manager needs time before the start of next season I can see someone being appointed by the end of next week,What will that shortlist consist of and who that's the question?
