mookey Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 There aren't any The fans don't pick Managers, never have, never will So please everyone please chill out, relax and go with the flow We will all find out soon who the new man is and all the whinging, moaning and insults on this 'chat line' wont change that All this outpouring of aggression and threats and blame culture is really pointless. Whoever the new manager is just get behind him and lets move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcchris2016 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Well, my number one choice was McInnes when Millen left 2 seasons ago. And when Del left I said on Facebook something along the lines of "I don't care if he's kicking and screaming. We need to snatch SO'D from Nottingham, now he's left Forest". Think it's best I don't have a favourite at all .... *warnock*.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 And look what a disaster that has been! Er... It wouldn't work here, it wouldn't. We know it wouldn't. Aiz, you, me, and all the old 'uns on here, we're lucky. We've seen top flight football at AG, City beat Liverpool, on the cusp of greatness, and hold their own for a couple of years with the best.

stranter Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Weren't Ebbsleet United owned by their fans or something...so the fans technically chose some of their managers? I think chairman may have been influenced by fans in the past with managerial appointments but they are never ever going to admit it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 As others have said, I favoured Coppell, McInnes and SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Directors and chair types are fans,* by and large (cue barrage of Lansdown abuse) regardless of emotional outbursts on here. So, most managerial appointments are made by fans. Just fans with wedge, and a business career of endless success and brilliant recruitment. *They must like football, if not the club in question, a bit, to plough thousands and millions into the club.

Eddie Hitler Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Most wanted Coppell.. Most wanted Mciness when given a choice between him and robins.. Most wanted SOD.. Yeeeah True. I'm in the "most" camp for two of those but I did want Robins over McInnes, not that I'm saying he would have been massively better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Most wanted Coppell.. Most wanted Mciness when given a choice between him and robins.. Most wanted SOD.. Yeeeah I was in the Robins camp - although I do admit I thought McInnes would be decent for us. Especially when I read all the glowing references from St J fans. Problem was, he just didn't know English football. Now that might've been OK if we'd apointed an Italian or Spaniard, but getting players from football's backwater was not so good For our next appointment, I'm like Mookey & I'll go with the flow and give the new man a chance. All these names suggested have some successes (as well as a few failures) and as long as they adhere to the long-term plan and get us out the drop zone, I'll become a happy clappy again.

1960maaan Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Realistically, as I've said elsewhere , every appointment and sacking would have been welcomed by a percentage of the fan base. It's just the loudest voices are the ones who are unhappy with the decision. It's also true that each and every choice and decision made by the board (bad or bad ) would have been done with the best intentions, no one deliberately sets out to do poorly. Hindsight is 20/20 as someone once said, so we can all look back and make the right decision. Copple ( wasn't my first choice but I was happy) disaster ! Millen (did well made sense ) wrong McInnes ( I thought was a good appointment ) poor SO'D ( actually looked forward to the season ) results say everything Copple would be the only one on that list that no one wanted out, and that's only because he legged it before he had a chance to disappoint . Off the top of my head one appointment would have gotten near 100% approval , Joe Jordan's 2nd go , and that didn't work either. Yes there were other popular managers I know but no-one will please everyone. I said to a Cardiff fan who was going to boycott their promotion party, enjoy it as it's Your club you'l regret not being there in years to come. What will happen is , someone will come in ( I think I would prefer Tisdale but what do I know), it will upset lots and please a few. Support will carry on turning up.As results improve gates will improve. People fall in and out of love with the club for various reasons but, there can be only one (anyone who changes team I have no time for ), and people will return! It is OUR club when Managers,players/boards come and go, it's still our club. Initially it may be a choice, eventually it isn't. Anyway my soapbox return is over due so I'm off, apologies for my witterings, but I will be in the Coopers for the next game hopefully discussing how well the new man is going to do.( or doing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
