They would want to be in full control of finances and recruitment, which will never happen. It will be another yes man, cheap option puppet for Lansdown and Ashton to dictate to. Lansdown needs to decide what he wants and have the courage to communicate his decision to the supporters ( whilst we still care) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Alligator Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 2 minutes ago, Harry said: He has a fantastic recruitment history and a number of promotions at different clubs. Edit - but of course his excellent eye for recruitment won’t matter because that’s not what we look for in a head coach, for as long as a certain person is here. Thanks Harry. I'm just wondering, on that basis, why he's not currently in a job somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Realistically Cook. Howe would be a coup. Part of me wants someone from overseas who’s completely new - Arne Slot (who’s about to go to Feyenord) seemed an interesting left field name mentioned in the summer. The key in this is Ashton. He has to go really otherwise our pool of potential managers becomes very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The antithesis of a Johnson/Holden. Straight talking, old school, proven success. Similar to Cotterill in some ways. Done well in his career and earned a shot with a club like ours.

AppyDAZE Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Interesting to hear Twentyman talk about Paul Cook. Somebody he apparently knows pretty well. Geoff says that knowing him, he would like lots of control and would he be able to work under the current system at AG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Absolutely Paul Cook for me. A manager with a clear record of success at multiple clubs with different budgets and expectations. I don't doubt Eddie Howe is a good coach but I wonder if having a long association with one club would mean he could recreate that success a second time with us.

I don’t imagine many managers would like to work in that environment. None of us know for sure how much control Ashton actually has, but I can’t imagine someone like Cook wanting anything other than full control over signings. Certainly not selected Wasserman players ‘recommended’ to him in inordinate numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Howe had done well at Bournemouth. His time at Burnley though puts me off. Don’t know why, I don’t think he did a bad job there. Just don’t fancy him. He likes to spend a few bob also. Pearson or Cook for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverface Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 If we could have someone from this list, I'd be happy: - Paul Cook - Nigel Pearson - Arne Slot (as something of "out there" appointment) - Steve Cotterell (but that would take the board swallowing some pride and actually backing the guy properly - cant see it happening TBH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityironman Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 We need someone who is willing to come in & kick the players arses, at the moment they couldn't give a flying one about the club. Pearson would definitely do that & his Championship record is good. But as previously stated (many times!), who would want to work under the constraints of the present administration?
