ollywhyte Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I've just got this nagging feeling we have sounded out a young 'big-time' ex footballer who would be more adept working alongside Mark Ashton. I'm thinking along the lines of Robbie Fowler, Phil Neville, Michael Carrick and Freddie Ljungberg - an ego based appointment to boost the reputation of the club. Alternatives to Gerrard if you like. Ljungberg would be an interesting one potentially, certainly seems the 'head coach' type, Arsenal connections for young talent on loan. A Swede who could convince Elliason to stay put. Trying to convince myself we are at least going in a different direction at this stage ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thinking with me, except I wonder about an older name also as D of F / consultant and getting both available could be the delay. Robbie Fowler as the young gun ? Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsHeadIs Red Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I am increasingly convinced that the length of the process and the silence from the club means something odd is happening, but possibly in a good way. I reckon when the announcement is made, phrases like “I didn’t see that coming”, “wow, let’s go effing mental” and “well done City, I was never one of the doom merchants” will be common on here. ....Or Dean is still on the beach at Weston and they don’t want to disturb him to tell him the good news. Everyone deserves a nice holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
