BristolBEAT Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Has Warnock not retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 In JL's interview on YouTube today, when explaining what he'll look for in our next manager, the first word he used was "passion". It's funny how we tend to lurch from one manager to another by looking for a trait that is the opposite to what annoyed us about the previous one. Hence: Danny Wilson: lived too far from Bristol and didn't develop the youth enough. Step in Brian Tinnion (local, used to coach the kids). Steve Coppell: a bit unstable. Step in Keith Millen (no surprises with that chap). Derek McInnes: no track record in the Championship. Step in Sean O'Driscoll (lots of experience with Doncaster, etc.). Sean O'Driscoll: doesn't win many football matches and is not the most passionate raver at the party. Step in... There is nothing remotely funny about what the Ghost's mouthpiece says; the only predictable things coming from him are the way, as you have alluded, in which he says one thing and means or does another or vice versa. Then goes from back to front and front to back as it fits the best way to try and come out of an interview with 'reputation' intact or so he thinks. His steep learning curve just went into a 1 in 4 Porlock Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Red Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I see in third place in the poll (at the time of writing) is Other, can't place him though, what's he done before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Interesting, if he's looking for a passionate manager then Holloway or Warnock jump off the page. I'd be surprised if this wasn't a done deal and, personally, I'm hoping for one of those two. I've not had chance to listen to the interview but was there mention of Keith Burt? Although the role should be independent of the manager, he's a SOD man. Are we looking for a head coach or manager I wonder - Warnock would expect to manage and do the whole recruitment bit I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I voted for Peter schmichiel, think he would a brilliant option and is young, also has good links in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he was at Forest way before SOD and stayed there until they inexplicably sacked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRed Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 And what has Mike Phelan done? oh yeah Assistant to a man who made ALL the decisions He's coached some of the worlds best players, won a few trophies, can deal with the media, thorough knowledge of the game, successfully worked within a structured club. Certainly a lot more experience than most of the no-marks being listed by the bookies. My choice, 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I voted for Paulo Di Canio because I like the idea of doing Italiano fascist salutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiz Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 What about that guy who is turning Aberdeen around. . This is my problem I just can't see anyone beyond Tisdale or Cotterill in terms of the five pillars but really unsure they can bring about a quick change in results. A mate is working on the theory that carey may be given a chance but no way can I see that...........can I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 JL made it clear in the interview that nobody else (assistant or DOF, presumably) would be leaving. A win sat and they'll give it to Pemberton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUEBRIT66 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 John Pemberton for me only because his interview was better than SOD's Seriously would love Ole but not going to happen, short term NW or IH, have a feeling may be Tisdale. Any one seen the rumour on the site apparently IH has just bought a house back in Bristol and was at AG as a "guest" on Saturday Any truth ?

Taylor10 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 And what has Mike Phelan done? oh yeah Assistant to a man who made ALL the decisions Really? You know this as fact and what goes on behind the scenes then? Apart from coaching some on the best players in the world, as well as the top up and coming young talent in the country and of course being part of one of the most successful club sides ever, he's clearly done nothing.... Mind you SAF was always known for settling for second best wasn't he? I am sure Phelan was just simply tasked with collecting cones after training.

Taylor10 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I see people are still 'living in cloud cuckoo land' to quote McInnes. That list is so uninspiring. I would obviously have Ole but that's about as realistic as SoD being re-appointed. Phelan would be a great shout and I would have him here any day of the weak but again, very unlikely as he is being linked with the Norwich job. Aside from that I would have to say 'Other' I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwired Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 The board should give Paul Scholes a call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Nobody's mentioning Mark O'Connor. Wasn't the plan that the u21 coach could step up to replace the first team coach, the u18 coach replace u21 coach and so on? He's lots of coaching experience, is ex-gas and ex-assistant to Tony Pulis.............. Hmmm "like a lead balloon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 On a different forum, this was the reaction of a Hull fan about Nicky Barmby 'Barmby did a very good job for us, he turned to from Nigel Pearsons "watching paintdry" football to a decent attacking side, he'll be a cracking league 1 manager ... Not sure he'd move down south tho probs want something bit more closer to hull tbh' The style of play would build on where S.O'D started and hopefully he could develop it further.

Admin Ian M Posted November 28, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 My PC accidently made me vote for Alex McLeish but I DEFINITELY don't want him. Phelan for me! Fixed for you. He's coached some of the worlds best players, won a few trophies, can deal with the media, thorough knowledge of the game, successfully worked within a structured club. Certainly a lot more experience than most of the no-marks being listed by the bookies. My choice, 100%. And just like Joe Kinnear, he has Fergie's mobile number if he needs a bit of advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Where is the "almost anyone but Warnock" option? I think I would promote the Spanish guy from the Under 21's before employing 99% of those names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 But which one? Warnock or Holloway? how about the dream team of Warnock and Holloway as joint manager's with Di Canio as press officer / crowd motivator............... I'll get my coat.............

Soul_Trader Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 I would vote for Brian Tinnion ... with Greg Goodridge as his number 2. Scott Murray as the kitman Now that would be a blended team of silky passing, flair and passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonGreat Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 The list of potential candidates just confirms the quality of the board's decision making. And yet, I'd bet that 90 per cent of those potential candidates have a better win rate than the one SOD had at Bristol City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrw1978 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Mike Phelan for me. Desperate to get into management and said in an interview recently that he has no problem starting in the lower leagues. If not, then I'd take a punt on Carlos Anton rather than yet another journeyman from the managerial merry go round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakes Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Phelan would be nice but i would like Warnock at least we would not have to listen to post match waffle which sent us all to sleep.

Keepers Ball Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Like Steve clarke? Mourinho rated Clarke and got a lot of input from him. I very much doubt this is the case with Ferguson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
