Silvio Dante Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Not voted. Simple reason here - this is one persons view of who are the realistic options. Therefore, it’s as likely to be as realistic as if you plucked 10 random managers names. Bielsa wasn’t realistic for Leeds Henry wasn’t realistic for Bournemouth Farke wasn’t realistic for Norwich Sven wasn’t realistic for Notts County. I could go on here, but making a poll of who you think are the “realistic” options and ruling others out when you have no idea who’s in the frame strikes me as a touch needy...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 25 minutes ago, And Its Smith said: Let's focus on managers who should definitely be interested. Who do you want? It cannot be Paul Cook or anger, surely! It’s a tough one. From that list probably Appleton or Lowe. The more I read about Appleton the more I think he might be a decent choice. Lowe plays good football and his star is on the rise. Adkins perhaps but I wouldn’t be excited by him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion is secondary for me That isn’t what the board primarily want though, so the manager you want might be different from how they go for. The board have demonstrated - from the change in our transfer policy - they’d go for promotion over youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey54 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 From the list Appleton. He's have to crawl over Howe to get it though. Nigel Pearson imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With season tickets in the forefront of the boards minds i get a feeling they will do all they can to appoint somebody who will appease the fanbase.

Perhaps Lowe with a very experienced and well respected assistant. They couldn’t pull that off with Appleton (who I think might actually be a decent choice). It doesn’t look like anything is imminent though, no gossip of any credence doing the rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Neil Harris is an out of work one you could add who'd be seen as realistic whether people would see him as underwhelming or not. Wagner probably isn't unrealistic having to return to the standard he was last successful at. Those in jobs could easily include Robins, Warne, Ainsworth, Neil.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Of those, it would have to be Adkins. He at least has something of a track record, he's experienced- he used youth at Southampton, got them 2 promotions- yes Pochettino was an upgrade at the right time, stabilised Hull too albeit with Grosicki, Bowen and Parachute Payments. Think he used 4-3-3 there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Pearson - Warnock - Mad Mick We’re in such serious shite, all three are needed. Pearson to sort Ashton Warnock the players Mad Mick the media If BCTV filmed the Club’s transformation, the combined management salaries could be comfortably covered by subscriptions.

lenred Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 See the keepers of the City ‘we’re happy to accept mediocrity forever Steve, don’t worry about another dud’ flame have regrouped and reappeared very quickly after Tuesday night.

Sheltons Army Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 all joking aside And If you were definitely picking realistic from League One or Two @And Its Smith I’m surprised you haven’t , Or no ones mentioned, Lee Bowyer Compared to the list , all of which would be a punt If I had to take a ‘punt’ (Which we don’t) there’s something about Bowyer that I take to The minor issue with him is he has two years left in a contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin. Ah yes, forgot on Monk- arguably took Swansea backwards though, in the end. Did alright at Birmingham, seemed not to last so long at Middlesbrough, bizarrely got sacked by Sheffield Wednesday after a win vs Bournemouth and draw with Millwall- the former at that point were unbeaten.

Northern Cider Ed Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Im struggling to see the general hate for Danny Cowley 3 promotions in seven seasons with Concord Rovers Playoffs in only full season with Braintree in national league (part time team up against a fair few full time teams First season at Lincoln won the national league and got to the FA Cup Quarter finals defeating premier league Burnley on the way Second season at Lincoln got to playoffs and won EFL Trophy despite being league two Third season at Lincoln won league two Went to Huddersfield who were near bottom of Championship in September. Won Championship manager of month in October. Kept them up, then sacked for reasons unknown Yes Paul Cook has an outstanding lower league record but so does Cowley, probably with lower budget teams. Just don't get the negativity around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
