Show Me The Money! Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 The fact he was only successful at a big spending Bournemouth worries me though. Did nothing when he was at Burnley and I think he’d struggle with us in our current predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could maybe sell the club to his old mate and potentially be part of his coaching team if it happened? I imagine EH still resides around the B’muff - just an hour or so from Bristol. No need to up sticks? Question is would be ready to return to the game? Fact is none of us know how the recruitment of a new HC actually works. Are potential candidates approached via their agents or do they need to apply? I imagine that SL does everything by the book so I doubt anything underhand goes on - not that we’d know if it did. Ashton might well have been on the phone already to EH for all we know........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Bournemouth is an hour from Bristol you clearly have never done the journey- 2hrs on one of the worst road networks imaginable.

grifty Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Saw this guy mentioned on another thread and did some reading about him. I've got to say I think he would be perfect https://www.bvb.de/eng/News/Overview/Enrico-Maassen-opting-for-the-element-of-surprise Whether we could tempt him away from BvB II just 6 months after joining I don't know. Has a history of going into a team, arresting a slide, sorting out a defence and making them top goal scorers. Won a league, focus on youth and player development.

The copper gave me a bollocking and told me his shift had just ended and didn’t want the hassle of any paperwork so I got away with it. Ended up with just 3 points on my license.

Poole isn't Bournemouth - there is much more traffic on the road - there are so many speed limits and Saturdays are always much clearer. You clearly were hammering it to do it in 1 15 and just impossible in an hour! Unless you went by helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've a sewage works worth of them on the books. Yes, Holden & Co had to go but HE WASN'T TO BLAME. Were there any justice in the world 30 utterly crap players would see their contracts annulled tonight. Frauds all. This is why the Head Coach (and the CEO for that matter)position is so critical. Any team will go to seed if they are not properly and competently led, if they are not "having" their immediate boss, if they are not convinced. The whole club lacks conviction, from SL down, imho (if we are using as our yardstick SL's ambition of top class football). It is almost criminal to treat the recruitment for this position so flippantly as it would appear we do or have done, at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been said by many. We need a halon gas fire extinguisher now not a dousing fire blanket. Pearson, McCarthy, Warnock type characters. Only one of them is available and is, anyway, the best of the three for this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
