hippy273 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Might be me being stupid, but who is Karl Robinson? Young League 1 MK Dons manager, i wouldn't want him really. Too young no experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Looking at that list the one that jumps out at me is still O'Driscoll. I wonder how burned Lansdown will be from the Coppell situation, plenty of 'names' on there which he might be inclined to avoid - and I include Jones in that. Although I'm aware it will be met with a mixed response, I'm still very much for O'Driscoll, and I wonder whether he might be just about the right profile level not to scare Lansdown off.

Alex_BCFC Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Robins is on the list unfortunately. Why unfortunately? Would be decent for us in the situation we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcott_red1 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Might be me being stupid, but who is Karl Robinson? 31yr old came up through the ranks coaching liverpool youth and then i went to Blackburn and learnt under Allardyce or Ince (or both) then he went to MK Dons and did similar things there then Pete Winkleman (Dons chairmen) could see his talent and gave him the Managers job. He plays good football on the floor. The swansea of League 1. Get him here now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 can't believe Mark Hughes is on that last that would be amazing, I can't see further then Dave Jones though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Would that be the Mark Robins at 12/1 in the list or a different one? Sorry only looked at names at start of thread. Can't access link at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 31yr old came up through the ranks coaching liverpool youth and then i thin went to lackburn and learnt under Allardyce or Ince (or both) then he went to MK Dons and did similar things there then Pete Winkleman (Dons chairmen) coul see his talent and gave him the Managers job. He plays good football on the floor. The swansea of League 1. Get him here now! I'd probably take a punt on him and apparently Terry Mcdermott is his coach.

iWurzel Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Why the obssession with Dave Jones with some. Had near enough the best squad in the Championship for a couple of seasons and failed to do anything. I wouldn't call it an obsession. But the majority of us want someone already proven with plenty of experience at this level, who plays attacking football. One other personal want of mine is someone who comes across well in the media (i.e. can string two words together). We've always had a country bumpkin reputation and let's face it, neither GJ nor KM came across well when talking to the media which doesn't help. So for me: - Proven manager at Championship level - Known for encouraging attacking football - Intelligent That knocks most of the list off and leaves Jones as the prime candidate in my opinion. Let's not forget the fact that it'll probably aggravate Cardiff fans and lead to some fiesty derbies! Everyone here moaning that Cardiff have bottled playoffs etc. We're currently nowhere near being able to think about REACHING the playoffs, let alone bottling them! A lot of the blame also has to lie with the players. The bottom line is that under Jones, Cardiff ALWAYS looked a threat. We've been hit and miss for 3 seasons now, with the emphasis on the latter. One other manager who I think would be great is Lee Clark. However I don't think it's the time to be appointing someone with no experience of managing at Championship level.

It wont take much money to shift these speciality next manager markets, especially as its not a high profile club I wouldnt read too much into it just probably a few fans thinking 5/2 looks juicy and dropping a number of £50 bets down or so.

Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I had a few quid on Millen to go on Skybet this morning at 2-5...exactly 48 minutes before getting the text. Also had a dutch with him and McClaren before McClaren went. Remember, the odds compilers will have picked a couple of realistic choices and then gone back over the last year to see who's been sacked from clubs half way down the Championship to half way up League 1 and just thrown that list together. We're not as high profile as Forest (and that's a whole other issue) and I would imagine most of the money for that market will be coming from either Wise Guys or City fans with a particular favourite. Interesting that Steve Cotterell and Kenny Jackett are thought to be next to go. There's been a lot of grumbling at Pompey recently and - like Forest - Millwall have regressed badly compared to last season. FWIW Jones would be my pick. Has Prem experience and 'almost got Cardiff up' is better than 'nearly got CIty relegated' in my book. We'll see. Looking forward to Peterborough now whoever's in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
