Mendip City Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Of course we don’t know whether any manager would accept the role. My hunch following the summer’s fiasco is that several would not work in our system/structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-hugh-blind Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Not that it will ever happen. Howe comes across as a sensitive soul, likes to be close to home. We represent a solid job for him. Holden is and was always a covid stop-gap surly. He will be here until covid isn't, as long as we are clear of the relegation battle ground. But Howe fits because of his personal restrictions or he could be Everton/saints/Newcastle level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstart Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Bearing in mind how long the process to appoint an internal candidate took last time - better start now if we want an external candidate, might be ready by 2023 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 @Taz @Roger Red Hat Would I want Campbell? No. However at least he has worked his way up, or might have started doing so anyway unlike the (relatively speaking) Silver Spoon brigade of Arteta, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney and maybe Vieira though not so sure on his career appointments thusfar. Early career trajectory?? Well and truly underqualified, though I suppose Derby job sounds more attractive on paper than in reality right now in Rooney's case. Solskjaer too maybe, though at least he did manage Molde and Cardiff- still clubs that just appoint former heroes or what not, deserve all they get when inevitably proven out of their depth, or at least proven out of their depth at that early stage. Campbell otoh, was handed not one but two Hospital Passes at Macclesfield and Southend. They didn't go so well but he got stuck in, he kept Macclesfield up I think?

Starting in the second tier is hardly unheard of for coaches, Brendan Rodgers started in the championship, Klopp started at second tier Mainz, Guardiola while a lower level in the club wasn't outside the Barca system, Thomas Frank had only had a Danish top division side before being brought to a role at Brentford and then promoted, Nuno Portuguese top division to La Liga etc surely it doesn't matter where they start as long as they're good enough for the job? Lampard guided Derby to a play off final in his first season hardly a poor achievement and not his fault Chelsea came calling and Rooney seems to be turning Derby around. Campbell was his own enemy turning up for interviews expecting to get the job because of his playing career, he supposedly turned up to an interview not knowing any of the players nor being able to describe how he'd try and get the team playing. He was invited to a meeting between different groups about tackling racism in football and things like raising the number of BAME coaches and managers, had a Q&A with Dan Ashworth, one question being why was Gary Neville fast tracked to England Assistant, not an unfair question, Ashworth starts giving the answer and is interrupted with 'but I'm Sol Campbell'.

Campbell does seem a bit perhaps to have a bit of a high opinion of himself, it seems interesting what you say, will definitely look into it. Rodgers begun with a lowly Reading and Watford- Guardiola I'll give you, Frank I'd have to look into him a bit more. With respect to fast track of managers, maybe it's a bit old fashioned but I do have a bit more respect for those who have done some hard yards outside the top 2 divisions or big hitters in said division- Derby are or were a big hitter in this League- Under Lampard, were in the process of utilising every trick in the book to try and maximise amortisation and in terms of Rooney are not even paying wages correctly- in a way bit more respect for that as it's not Derby with big budget, splashing some cash. He had mates rates Benefits- Mount and Tomori from Chelsea, Wilson would have been the going rate of course- Lampard and led Derby from 6th, to- er, 6th. He had his positive attributes of course but he was obviously underqualified when that job came and the media "Oh it's so unfair" "Deserved more time"- Think he'd have got a bit less time if his name wasn't Frank Lampard personally. Were Mainz a bigger hitter in Bundesliga 2? I honestly don't know. About to Google which club Nuno began at...Groundbreaking though, Rio Ave probably some middling, lower middling Portugese club. That said I've Googled Klopp and Mainz- he led them to their first ever promotion to the Bundesliga- groundbreaking again! Then proceeded to lead them to Europa League within 2 seasons, and in Season 1 they had the lowest budget and finished 11th in the Bundesliga. He stated he considers the promotion at Mainz to his greatest achievement the other year as it goes. Quote In May 2012, Rio Ave F.C. sacked manager Carlos Brito and announced the appointment of Espírito Santo.[20] In his second season in charge, the team reached both the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga finals,[21] also leading them to the UEFA Europa League for the first time in their history. He led to Cup finals and Europe for the first time in their history. Arteta had a worse first season and a half than Emery, Lampard led Derby from 6th to 6th and Chelsea from 3rd to 4th though I'll absolutely credit him with blooding youth- that said the first of those two did win the Cup vs the 2nd.
