cidered abroad Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Stop wasting server space with junk. The one requirement for our next manager is that they will be at least normal average height. And that they are not one of our previously failed manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Some of the football under WIlson was sublime.. Bell and Murray on the wings, Tinnion pulling the strings in the midfield feedng onto Thorpe and Peacock. A beauty to watch when we were on form. But..... Glug glug glug.

Back to the structure again!! Would have certainly changed the dynamic of what goes on in the training pitch with 'an extra resource.' Which is why if Johnson is the 'head coach' and nothing else surely him and Pembo is enough? it leads me to believe if Johnson is getting involved with more 'manager' stuff with Ashton then that is why Holden arrived.

JW admitted he wanted help and if I remember correctly wanted Ray Harford to work WITH him. Instead it was Benny and the rest is history. So if SL/MA thinks we need an extra resource and hold LJ in such high esteem for now and the future development, instead of Holden and Pembo why not put a Roy Hodgson (or Hoddle as I saw on another post) type character in as Director of Football to help LJ with the team and his development as a coach, after all its a level he has never coached at before.

Lack of Action Man Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Echo some of the comments in here R.E. Wilson era city being a joy to watch. Best and most entertaining form of football I've seen from any city manager at the Gate. But, not picking Lita in the play off final... stuff of nightmares.

My only gripe with DW is the play-off final but I wish we'd kept him nonetheless. He did however not turn us into a team that payed like Brazil which he did manage before at Barnsley (or they sung.... and to be honest I do think that Barnsley team was great to watch).
