nellie Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 ok a bit different out of the available managers out of a job or who might be interested in taking over who don't you want to see in charge ?
Northern Red Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 David James Alan Walsh Steve Wigley Stuart Naylor Scott Murr..You get where I'm going with this...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Bobby Gould, Russell Osman, 2 candidates that would be cheap and therefore probably favourites!!!!!
BCFC Jordan Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Why do people not want O'Driscoll? Miles better than Jones and possibly Davies as well. Jones spent tons at Cardiff and couldn't ever get them promoted, whereas O'Driscoll has no budget at Donny and made them into a top half side until the injuries came along.
BCFC Jordan Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 That's all I ever hear about O'Driscoll, that he's done well on no budget. Well, they were bottom only a few hours ago, and the no budget thing is something both us and them have in common until we ship out these contracted leeches. I would recommend you compare careers before wrongly writing that O'Driscoll is far superior. No budget in which he still made a top half Championship side. That side was then devastated by injuries. Meanwhile Dave Jones had the likes of Bellamy, Ramsey, Chopra, Bothroyd etc all at his disposal and still couldn't get Cardiff promoted.
2015 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Curbishley, Phil Brown, Billy Davies & Paul Tisdale
beaverface Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Trollope! Some of fans just can't help but have a love in with the enemy. It's the same state as our Country is in these days, too much liberal thinking.
the1stknowle Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 That's all I ever hear about O'Driscoll, that he's done well on no budget. Well, they were bottom only a few hours ago, and the no budget thing is something both us and them have in common until we ship out these contracted leeches. I would recommend you compare careers before wrongly writing that O'Driscoll is far superior. Yeah but four or five seasons ago he had them at the top of a division - it was just the division below. Surely it is an incredible achievement consistently keeping a club like donnie in this league. Much better than keeping a team at the top of the division below, no? Same as with Tisdale - I'm just mystified why a few people dont seem to rate him and amazed he has made some people's suggestion for the one manager you dont want appointed. He almost literally couldnt have done any more in his career as a manager given the opportunities he's had. Clearly he has talent, right? Team Bath and then Exeter. 6 promotions in 10 seasons as a manager. zero relegations! Two different teams, think his record spend is 10 or 15k and that is the only time he has ever paid money for a player. So the only argument against him is this idea "he hasnt done it at this level". Same as Poyet, same as Lambert. Same as McDermott. Are they bad managers? Are they not up to this level? In order to do it at this level, someone has to give them a chance right. When he's clearly got potential (and surely that cant be argued with given his history) why not City be the ones that give him a go? If the argument is "well it's just Bath" or "Just Exeter" - then find me all the other people who have that many promotions in that many seasons. Because if "it's just Bath and Exeter" then plenty of other people would have been able to do that, right? If as now seems inevitable we are looking for a manager during the international break, then I for one really hope SoD and Tisdale are considered along with Davies, curbs and Jones and Robins. I'm obviously very pro-Tisdale but I'd be happy with any of them. I'm not convinced by the recent records of Hoddle or Reid and I hope we go for record and best fit for our circumstances rather than any attempt at a "name" appointment. It's a big appointment this next one and there are definitely candidates out there we should all feel happy getting behind.
Superjack Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Steve Wigley. I don't half have a horrible feeling though...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Though he was great at Wimbledon, Joe Kinnear...
simonwheeler Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 David James Alan Walsh Steve Wigley Stuart Naylor Scott Murr..You get where I'm going with this... Was just going to post the same ESPECIALLY DAVING FING JAMES But my choice goes to Billy Davies - 'Orrible little sweaty
bcfczd Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 O'Driscoll. For me, left on a negative note, was always a negative manager. E.G keeping a team up instead of pushing for play offs.
REDOXO Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Anyone on the forum who applies...And we know there will be some Id take anyone with a track record of turning things around and getting close to promotion...Gary Johnson would be available :innocent06: Who i dont want!!!! Holloway!!!!!!!!!!! However some may say that it would be a good move and if it does turn out to be him, and I wouldnt rule it out, I'll give him my support
stawey Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 David James Alan Walsh Steve Wigley Stuart Naylor Scott Murr..You get where I'm going with this... agreed but we must remember it must be someone who wont upset the comfort zone in boardroom, players and staff. no one with handgranades.

dragonreds Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 billy davies. i,ll never forgive him thinking it was funny when gerks got badley hurt last season.
fka dagest Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 This thread has the potential to be the longest ever. I'll go for Dave Penney.
Frank Reynolds Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 O'Driscoll. For me, left on a negative note, was always a negative manager. E.G keeping a team up instead of pushing for play offs. He got Donny playing some of the best football in the division. I would love SOD. Sometimes managers take clubs as far as they can go, and I think that was the case at Doncaster. Look at where he got them, it was unprecedented for them. It has gone wrong this season but that happens to the best managers. I think at a bigger club SOD would be great.
Guest stranter Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Wigley Paul Hart Anyone who isn't a proper manager Any good assistant
Andy Horsman Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Any ex Rovers player. Cannot believe the pro-Hollowhead factions on here. Two words...Tony and Pulis. An abysmal time in city's recent history. Not keen on Jordan being touted for a return either. It's fair to say that. going back in football rarely works twice, so a third period would be a hell of a risk, and he dropped city like a shot previously. We need a radical appointment. Someone who will come in fresh and untainted by familiarity.
miloemily Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Malcolm allison!! I thought he died last year!
Show Me The Money! Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 He got Donny playing some of the best football in the division. I would love SOD.

I think you'll find that Dave Penny would have to take some of the credit and we know what happened to his career. No to SOD for me
rockin-robin Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Think Owen Coyle will be available shortly?
