Esmond Million's Bung Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 OK, for me the sensible choice is Uwe Rosler the foreign coach who knows the English leagues and his comments about us earlier in the season seemed like he was dropping a hint. Rowett is not for me. However there is one name that hasn't been mentioned, a name who would fit the 'project' to a tee but has been out of management for sometime but fully involved with his academies, I give you Mr Glen Hoddle. Pros:- The project was written for him. Cons:- His inappropriate comments whilst England manager (but maybe served his penance) but the biggest con of all would the dictator and Mr Ego want somebody, with his charisma somebody who might take the limelight away from them?.

I don't know what Rowetts deal is with Birmingham. If he is still being paid by them then we would have to pay him the same plus extra to make it worth his while - basically we would need to look at a deal that money can't buy to attract someone that's already being paid i.e. finances - but I feel the next job is more of a squad management (running down contracts and keeping us in the league) type job. I would like someone that has got a team promoted from this league and hasn't got a team relegated from it, is that too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 First names for me are - Uwe Rosler and Gary Rowett. Then i'd be talking to - Graham Alexander.

The wealth isn't the problem he has employed 8 managers by my count, 6 have been disasters and 2 let their success go to their heads and SL was slow to react to remove them. He hasn't employed one manager where the fans have thought 'yes' he's got this one right. Even with Coppell some of us thought he wasn't actually keen and wouldn't last until Christmas. Here's the thing if SL really believes in his Bristol sport dream he has to stop being cheap with his managers for the football and rugby, he needs managers with a track record and respected in their field, obviously he has to sell his vision to those managers and then pay the price, will it work? who knows, but hoping that a manager with an average or below track record is the answer because they are young and therefor malleable hasn't worked so far and neither has employing managers whose best was well behind them. 1 minute ago, Roger Red Hat said: This is it, who'd want a load of dross without the stadium? indeed.

I genuinely cant see the love in for the guy.. tbh i really really enjoy listening to him talk about football, i think he is a great student of the game and the academy he has in Spain is a brilliant set up.. Widely acclaimed as the best English coaches we've had for decades As you say re academy - enjoys working with and developing young players but a championship manager, aftera all the years he has had out of the hot seat? Really? I dont think he is the match for BCFC personally.. Think you highlight the one potential flaw here - is he up,to speed ? So to speak With his punditry and interest in the game I would hope he's pretty much there but I agree , a potential 'weak spot' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
