Redman91bcfc Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 If I was SL id currently be on the phone to Moyes. "Hi David, here's a blank cheque, fill it in yourself and i'll see you monday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 The club are not talking about a new manager but a new head coach I suspect this is significant as some of our recent difficulties may well have arisen from SC insisting on being manager. Many of us thought this would one day come back to bite us as The Director of Football post may well have clashed with the manager's role especially over transfers I think the club's Reference to head coach may be highly significant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First we are now a small fish in a big pond instead of a big fish in a small pond like last season. And we are also a fish that whiffs a bit too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 If I was SL, I would swallow my pride and go flat cap in hand back up to Chesterfield, scour the local hosteleries, track down Danny Wilson and say, "we're desperate Dan. How about it?" Then when we storm into the L1 play offs next year, fire him out and get Andy Robinson to sit in for just the 3 games.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes wants a job, Moyes has fantastic memories of our club, Landsown wants a 'top' manager, Moyes has let it be known he his happy to work in the Championship. So why not, it's the perfect fit really. That will do for me PB. Why shouldnt he come ? are we ever going to get to the Premiership like our illustrious Chairman alluded to in his Cotts RIP speech unless we aim high, problem with us is we have always thought we were the bridesmaid and never the bride.....a new mindset is needed, fickle fans ?no more fickle than any other clubs but we have proved the support is there when we are flying so come on BCFC board, get a top manager in and lets get on with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they may well have done it before elsewhere so would relish it. This really isn't the time to "test" out theories on A B C or D who's doing well in the lower leagues. Proven manager, at this level, a big enough name and personality to attract the right players who can deliver in the Championship, is what's required. It's a no-brainer. If we really have the ambition then now is the time to prove to the fans that it's not just empty promise after empty promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top class ' resting ' manager might just see us as a golden opportunity to get back in the game . Arrogant enough to work with a squad of what, 18 and for a board who made just one perm signing for a bloke who delivered a league title for the club? Just how I see it from the perspective of an outsider looking at the vacancy. With the club mentioning Premier League in the same release as the one sacking a manager with us in the bottom 3 is remarkable too. They allude to the new manager having time to get us on track when in reality he has no tools to work with and little scope to recruit or even believe he would be allowed/able to recruit. It's not a job for a 'punt' because the odds are stacked wildly against the new man. Someone after a pension, someone unfashionable or an interim is all I can see on the horizon I'm afraid.
