POLL FOR NEW BOSS - THE SEARCH BEGINS

[Ohbasso]

Moyes would be my ideal appointment but I can't see it happening so I voted Pearson.

He seems the obvious choice out of the managers linked, he's out of work, has a great record at this level and has premiership experience.

[Simon79]

Should also of added that Hoddle is readily available to start now! A complete waste of talent that bloke sat in a studio talking about the game. Would imagine he still has a lot of connections, even France! Which seems to be floating our boat at the minute.

This is crazy. When I looked 40% had voted for David Moyes. Whilst we're at it why don't we have a vote for which forward we should sign, and all vote for Jamie Vardy?

[ChippenhamRed]

I never trust points per game as an analysis tool.  Put me in charge of Celtic and I dare say my points per game score would be excellent.

[REDOXO]

Why does no one think we would not approach a club in complete financial mess and try and get their manager for a compo amount that they could apply to their debt and tax man and has been linked with the club in a recent non deal....If only there was a scenario like that! Oh Wait!

Okay, I should have said this list, or any other list. The Bristol Post, albeit out of date, say he's the bookies favourite and his name comes up every time we need a new manager. I don't really know why.

Me neither. Tisdale would be a really backward step.

Does that points per match include his time as Spanish under 20something coach? I don't think he has a lot of experience as the top man.

More time and matches at Porto, his last job, where he won 53, drew 16 , and lost 9. 

Spain Under 21 - 17, 1, 0 respectively.

Spain Under 19 - 10, 2 , 2

Spain Under 20 - 9, 0, 2

Not a lot of experience is correct and why not really the ideal candidate; he is in there because of his superb stats, albeit few games and the continental connection where we have scouts in France and Spain.

Could we add Glenn Hoddle? Maybe unrealistic, but might like our plan( if we still have one that is!). Also very tactically savvy, who I also believe has adopted a 3-5-2 formation in his career. Would easily attract players I would imagine. Would be the big name a lot seem to be craving. Has spent time in this part of the country. Would really be a show of intent. Anyone else with me? Or am I up in the clouds on my own!? Although I've not got a clue about win percentage.

PPG = 1.39 ... not very good. He has also been out of the game too long in my opinion.

Was thinking the same, great knowledge of the game and would be the best free kick taker on the training ground!!

 

Sadly tho never going to happen.

It is as I said in my OP one of the tools not the only one. I would also suggest that the list is a reference point to those out of the game the shortest time with the best PPG; on average most will not have managed in such a one sided division as the SPL. It is also mixed with those on the bookies list and those many on here have talked about; it is not definitive, it is not scientific but it does show a group of managers most of which have a level of talent and nous that could, not would, be a possible option and there is no reason we should not be going after such candidates given the few vacancies out there at any given time.

I believe he was coaching at QPR fairly recently. Think it was possibly alongside big Joe. Seem to remember reading quotes about how good he was. Just thought it was an option.

He used to employ more of a diamond, as I remember he developed it for himself to reduce the tracking back later in his career.

Yes you are right; he was a coach under Harry alongside a few others, not a boss, which lasted 6 months to Feb 2014. Prior to that he left the Manager's job at Wolves in 2006. Coaching under a manager is one thing but I would suggest being in charge is far more important as a yardstick.

He has used them both and more. Which shows his versatility, something that Cotts was criticised of lacking. I just think his philosophy on the game is spot on. Think he was recently talking about a player, possibly Ross Barkley. How he gives the ball away occasionally, his response was something along the lines of, he might give the ball away 3 times out of 10. But he will create you something 3 times more than any other player, let him make mistakes! That is something too many managers are scared of doing, let the talented players do what they do best. Don't try and make them into robots or headless chickens. Like I said, something along those lines. Spot on imo.

Hoddle is my childhood hero, so I'd love to see him here. I can imagine one or two who wouldn't for the incredibly stupid crap he came out with about disabled people, and I would completely understand that

I don't get the feeling that GH is going to want to get his hands dirty on the day to day stuff now though. Maybe he could be in an advisory capacity with a younger manager, Justin Edinburgh, perhaps

From that list I've gone for Pearson. I don't think the board have the spine to appoint someone who will tell them what they don't want to hear though

I reckon Colin, until end of season, and see where we wake up come 1st July, will be more likely

We've got more chance of signing him to play!

Ahem.

Would most of the managers in the poll come to City?

Just sayin.

Don't think Tisdale would necessarily be a step back, but our position makes him too much of a risk. 

If we were a mid table side looking for a new manager I'd be happy for us to go for Tisdale, especially with him trying to build a long term set up.

I like the look of Gus Poyet playing a 4-4-4-2-formation that could give us an edge..............if we have enough players!!!

With our thin squad, the only formation we can play is 1-1-1-1 and no-one on the bench

[NOTBLUE]

You missed Mike Bassett off of the list,I mean he might not improve our results,but it wouldn't be boring that's's for sure.

[RedYoshi]

I'll do it.

And @havanatopia will write my programme notes.

Sorted - see you tomorrow.

Isn't Gus Poyet employed in Greece these days.  AEK Athens I recall.

You are correct... one slipped through the net there. Well spotted Eugene.

[Charliesboots]

Anyone mentioned Gary Neville yet...,,?

[Slack Bladder]

I'm going to stay out of this as I thought SOD, McInnes and Coppell were all good appointments and was totally underwhelmed when Cotts got the job.

Just goes to show I know absolutely eff all about running a football club.

I will continue to support the team whoever comes in and whichever division that might be

I fully understand people's reservations ( for want of a better phrase )with regards his stupid comments. But its his philosophy on football, his name, his record and his potential draw on new signings I'm thinking about. I think he has said previously that he has had offers but never had the right project put in front of him. I believe Bristol City is potentially a great project. And as I've mentioned previously, he has been in this neck of the woods previously.
