And Its Smith Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Huddersfield, Reading, Hull, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday, Watford have all had various degrees of success by appointing foreign managers. The average football fan wouldn't have heard of the majority of these appointments so I believe the 'who should we appoint next' posts are a bit pointless. There will be foreign managers out there who have had success abroad that would come here for 500k-1m per year. Time for Ashton to consider this route as a way to success.

Phileas Fogg Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yep I hope we go foreign too. Unless we can pull in genuine experienced quality. Foreign managers are generally more used to backroom systems like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, look at David Wagner's CV, they plucked him out of near obscurity with no proven track record. He is a success story, but I think most City fan's would be up in arms if we appointed a random French/German coach with no CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly brave by Huddersfield and great foresight by probably one individual at the club. They are now being rewarded for that.

I think that's one of the most sensible posts I have seen in regards to who should replace LJ. Personally I'm a pragmatist he's got me till mid March if there's no solid results against the lower table clubs he has to be toast, I'm not really a fan a firing manager as I always think the problems are with more than one man. But if we do some of the names on here that get repeated over and over are a little bit of a cliche and a decent appointment from Europe would suit what were trying to do here. It took borro several attempts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's was frankly awkward listening to Gary Owers commenting last night he could see exactly what was wrong but was trying to be diplomatic . If Owers can see the problems so clearly surely anyone with half a football brain can as well and rectify them straight away.

Zola has had no success anywhere he has been so that's an awful example to use. Wouldn't appoint one who couldn't speak English, he could move family in summer and the players would probably love a fresh approach to training. As I said, other managers haven't needed time to settle. Look at Hull - they might stay up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said his name a few times. He has experience and has several promotions under his belt. The championship clubs he managed weren't hugely successful times, but he was given something like 15 games at Leeds IIRC and was at Wigan as the purse strings were reigned in. Also helping Fleetwood punch well above their weight. His teams like to work hard and press high, we saw that from Fleetwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't necessarily agree with that as Reading (twice), Hull (twice) and Southampton all got into the premier league recently with English managers - Steve Coppell, Brian McDermott, Phil Brown, Steve Bruce, Nigel Adkins...and of Fulham's 13 or so seasons in the premier league, about 9 of them were with a British manager at the helm...and it wasn't a Brit boss who relegated them...so I'd say that the homegrown talent is out there, but as long as we did ok and held our own in this division at least then I wouldn't care what nationality the manager was... I'd look to a foreign country though....Wales, and Cardiff...he seems to be doing ok in this div, again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
