Slave to the rhythm Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 O'Driscoll has achieved good things with a limited budget but so did Gary Johnson. It was only when Johnson got money to spend that things started going wrong. If Johnson must go (and I still hope he doesn't) I'd go for Paul Hart. He was doing OK at an impossible job with Pompey, was hard done by at QPR and got the best out of Forest's Academy. If our youngsters are up to the job he'd get them out there to prove it. Great shout Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Donny score less than us !! On a considerably lower budget than us.. O'driscoll would have spent the 6 odd million GJ has had to spend over the last 2 and a half years a lot more wisely imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citynut54 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Neither of those is true at all. You won't find a single quote from Coppell saying he wants a Prem job. And he resigned at Reading out of principle having felt he took Reading as far as he could - how's that bottling anything? It's straightforward and honest. Just what GJ should be doing right now!!

havanatopia Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 If GJ is sacked is there any one at A G to fill the job until the end of the season ,or do we bring in some body from outside.Personally I think that Paul Hartley should ,with his experience be given the job. We would deserve Pontius Pilot if that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 How about a foreign coach ? Benny Lennartson ? We should have kept Benny, we would have been great and he would have made the Academy work. However he was 55 when he managed us and is now 67.

chipdawg Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 To follow on from a previous posting of mine regarding who would have been a better signing than Patrick Agyemang, my Nan is currently retired but i'm sure that she could be tempted back to work for the right wage. She lives in Bristol, enjoys a glass or three of sherry and i can't see how she would do a worse job than the current management are doing at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I worry that Paul Tisdale is more worried about his appearance than football. How about Steve Tilson at Southend? He hasn't had a penny to spend for years and always has to sell anyone who is any good, yet they have had two promotions and even on the verge of bankruptcy are still holding there own in L1.

Hicksy-BCFC Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It shows how bad it is when I am now expecting him to be gone in the near future. I thought about this morning who would come in. Millen would go with him immediately should he resign or be sacked. Walshy would stand in for an interim period, and whilst I understand the Carey or Hartley comments, there is too much at stake to gamble. I'd see someone along the lines of a Coppell OR we would poach a decent manager out of the League 1 or Scottish clubs. There is one thing true said on here - Alan Walsh holds the respect of every one of us at the club and always will, that will work in his favour for an interim time.

rudecowboy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sadly Johnson won't be going anywhere. SL is a shrewd guy, but clearly GJ is the one guy he's prepared to stand by until we are relegated, even then I think he would let GJ try and get us back up. Tisdale would be a great shout, and I'm sure he would jump at the opportunity, but in the end isn't he just a young GJ? IE Can nail the lower leagues but can't deal with having a real budget. Coppell and O'Driscol have to be the two top choices I would think. Experience is vital for management in this league just as it is for good CCC players. Hope SL makes the right choice, but can't see GJ actually going anywhere - if he does it will be his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Tins until he took over....but again I saw the appointment of Millen as his downfall anyway. As an interim measure then Walshy would do just fine, as you say, but some of our fans waste little time in turning on their idols if things don't go according to plan.

LoyalRed Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 People will say Curbs. He's far too "bigtime" to come here. he's on extortionate wages and, he will offer the same as Johnson in terms of terrible football. People will say Coppell. He's stated he wants Prem and is a perenial Bottler. People will say Tisdale. He's a gamble, and one that could come off... but in the position we are in we don't need gamble, we need progression. I will say.... O'Driscoll. The guy has experience in this division, he has taken what is surely one of the smallest clubs in the division to become an established and well respected side, He plays attacking, progressive football and he won't slag the fans off at every opportunity. O'Driscoll EVERY TIME! (Hartley is another that would be a risk... and if anyone says Millen I will hunt them down and insert a cricket stump up their arse!!! ) Are you sure you don't mean Gary Johnson? "The guy has experience in this division, he has taken what is surely one of the smallest clubs in the division to become an established and well respected side" "The guy has experience in this division, he has taken what is surely one of the biggest underachieving clubs and season bottler's from Division 1 & turned them into a Championship side, well established and well respected" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redology Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 It has reached the stage where we need a manager with a bit more technical & tactical ability. So Curbishly would be my first chioce replacement. All due respect to GJ for building a championship side but the division has progressed this season. After the Cardiff game where we were tactically exposed (understatement or what!) it was down to the management team to show that they had it in them to turn it around and step up their game but last night could not have been any more tactically inept. If GJ does stay then I will just be grateful to stay up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley Birkin Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 We need experience and someone the players will respect, tacticaly astute, and someone who players want to sign for, which would rule out people like Paul Tisdale, another Gary Johnson small time club boss. Although we missed a trick because I see Mark Robbins as a potential top boss. If Steve Lansdown really wants to take us to a higher level, he needs another 2 or 3 directors brought in with the similar kind of financial clout to himself, to sell the dream to the likes of a Glen Hoddle or Mark Hughes. I think short term much as people would wail and nash their teeth, Neil Warnock would do us a job, as he's been there seen it done it, and also gets some steel and guts in his teams, which we'll need if we are going to fight off relegation.

mcbcfc Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 O'Driscoll would be near the top of my list. I think Coppell would consider us but alot would depend on wages. I always thought Eric Black did a good job at coventry (current birmingham assistant) with a more expirenced coach along side him, maybe the likes of Joe Royle or Paul Hart. I think we're in a serious dog fight now the likes of Aidy Boothroyd or Gary Megson might fight our way out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy Tiger! I've never said my footballing knowledge is superior to anyone on here. My point was that if you can't see what Coppell done at Reading as an incredibly good job, then maybe you should say why not, rather than just write the fella off. Certainly wasn't slagging you off, and I'm struggling to see why you thought that. Instead of slagging me off without debate or answer, tell me why you don't want SC. For what it's worth, I agree with you about Curbishley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to know why you think that, because I initially thought that but having thought about it some more I think he is the calibre of coach we should be looking for. Having said that I don't think he would see us as a very attractive prospect. SL would have to do a pretty good selling job! I don't think Ive ever put as many 'think's in one post before.

O'Driscoll hasn't spunked millions and millions of pounds. O'Driscoll hasn't bored a group of fans into submission. O'Driscoll certainly hasn't abused and insulted the people who pay his wages either. it's O'Driscoll or if we can get him (I seriously doubt we could) Coppell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
