Silvio Dante Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 And no untried foreigners at present. Not unamenable to an overseas name in the summer, but we need someone now who knows this league to get the points to stave off relegation. If only we could have had Mad Mick on a short term deal...

steveybadger Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Plays good football track record can fit our structure (that’s the nub of it). Personally Jokanovic but I doubt it’ll happen. In fairness Appleton (and Moore, as mentioned by the poster who first said DH had gone - no idea if true) have both had v good seasons, so I don’t think either are quite the ‘sigh’ they were previously.

One Team Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 The only thing I am certain of is that I will be completely underwhelmed by whoever comes in.

I’m struggling to get over the frustration that we should’ve appointed from outside of the club in the summer. Someone made a great point last night that we were a better proposition back then.

Red Somerset Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I’d like Cook after what he achieved at Wigan on a threadbare budget. Also looks like he can spot a good player given the fire sale at Wigan last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know six weeks into the process we will announce a super human aka Paul Simpson but let's just dream for a moment. Was I dreaming, or was Roy Keane on this list last night?

BetterRedthanBlue Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I voted for Eddie Howe but I wouldn't mind Paul Cook, Slavisa Jokanovic, Marco Silva, Frank Lampard or Patrick Vieira.

Hughton, Moyes and McCarthy would have considered BS3 in the summer with the right setup and remuneration. Look what they’re all doing now - bringing success to their new clubs. The cheap option won’t have been cheap as well, once you factor in compo 7 months in. Absolutely fuming and the owners are seriously testing a 35 year allegiance to the City here. The next appointment has to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbb Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Cook, if he'd come. Won title with L2 with Chesterfield 13/14 then got them into the L1 playoffs the year we won it under Cotts. Portsmouth, got them into L2 playoffs 15/16 then won title following year 16/17. Wigan won L1 in his first season there 17/18 and as mentioned above, had Wigan playing competitive football for their size, winning games in the Championship for 2 years while everything was slowly unravelling with everything else. They would have stayed up were it not for their 12 point deduction. Also, I suspect Joe Williams would give absolutely everything for Cook on the pitch and that can lead others to give two hoots about the football club that pays their wages.

Slack Bladder Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I honestly don't care and I cannot let myself get excited about the recruitment process We had a golden opportunity in the summer and somehow grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory I have no faith they will get it right this time either, but if they want to sell season tickets it needs to be a decent appointment, pressure is on the board.

RedRock Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Voted Slav myself - just to bring some really fresh thinking, an identity and panache to our play. Cook isn’t a bad shout. Not least as I suspect Williams and Walsh would miraculously recover and bolster our midfield. Howe’s a strange one for me. Highly likeable, but just worry he’s an ‘outstanding human being’ and we’ve had too many of those. We also majorly pulled his pants down on the Kelly transfer - so is he a brilliant judge of players? Warnock or Mad Mick were top of my list last Summer. Wonder what they are doing now? What do you mean, look above us in the table? I think their DNAs/skill sets are even better fits now to reorganise a complete shambles of a team/Club, deal with soft, half-arsed, inconsistent and constantly ‘injured’ players and, top of the list, to tell Ashton to do one. I’d pay good money to watch that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have a point about transfers - some of his signings (especially Jordan Ibe) were very poor value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
