NVMal Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Never mind we can't afford to sack him, we can't afford to keep him. Get SOD out and save money by promoting Alex Russell. Tinman can fill Russell's position with the development squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Funnily enough I said in the pub before the game, if we lose tonight, whack Russell and the Spanish guy in charge. I was joking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Realistically I can see Carey and Harewood given it for a while. I can't see any reason to promote either of them, even temporarily. Alex Russell has been earmarked as a future City manager, it may just happen far sooner than anyone expected.

Alex Russell has been earmarked as a future City manager, it may just happen far sooner than anyone expected. We'll if it's the next in line approach that they've talked about then it's Mark O'Connor next (u21 manager). I'd be fine with that, at least as a caretaker..... Some wouldn't bearing in mind his background. Perhaps he's got a mate who is an experienced former prem league manager who could help us out.......

Are you trying to tell me Alex Russell and 'some spanish bloke' will get us out of this situation? Or that Marlon Harewood is the man for the job?! Stupid.

we8gas Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm glad SL is in charge and not the fans. We'd be playing downs football in a few years with these suggestions. We have tried the unexperienced managers in Tinnion and Millen, IMO Warnock needs to be here no matter how much it will cost, or have a chat with Tony Mowbray.

Kezman Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Has Alan Curbishley been seen around the Avon Gorge hotel, or any of his many Portishead homes?

Nogbad the Bad Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Why would Alex Russell be suitable for the role? Have I missed something? No one's saying he is, but when SO'D took over it was stated that the club's new philosophy would extend to all levels of the club so that when he inevitably left it could continue seamlessly with coaches already versed in the required style of play. Nothing would change except the man in charge of implementing that policy at first team level. Alex Russell was specifically named as a likely successor, though of course this early a departure by SO'D would not have been anticipated. Russell is 40 by the way - older than Danny Wilson when City appointed him - so he's old enough, but no doubt under the circumstances he'd have a more experienced man of his choice installed alongside him. If SO'D goes he certainly can't be ruled out, though of course the board may decide that, however promising he is seen within the club, the situation right now is far too critical to throw him in at the deep end.

Aizoon Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 There will be a monthly raffle among OTIB regulars to decide who manages the club for the following month. I'm really looking forward to my chance to manage with Horace as first team coach. We've been playing Football Manager all week in preparation. OTIB was going to hold the draw weekly, but it was decided that a week was too short a term for a manager to make a real impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 The OP's main point that we can't afford to keep SOD is the important one. We've already got one foot in League 2. What's the delay? Get rid, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I wouldn't be against alex russell but I would want a very experianced man to be with him like Warnock to help guide him, asking him to do it on his own is asking for trouble, it would be tinnion all over again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I tell you what lets just do a raffle with the winner getting the managers job!! Are you a whistleblower? The board have always thought this was the best way to apppoint managers. You've just breached the confidentiality clause in your contract. The boss wants to see you later.
