Silvio Dante Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 As mentioned by @Bcfcshags on the Southampton thread on Saturday, ex city alumni Dave Horseman is the new FGR manager. However, not only that, but Louis Carey is coming along as assistant and Matty Taylor has just signed on to lead the attack. A trip to the New Lawn on international weekends anyone? 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 They obviously couldn’t handle any more days of Russell Martin shouting at a 6 year old keeper to only pass the ball exactly 6 yards for his first three passes and to only go long if it’s exactly 14 degrees and the wind is below 25mph 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His own choice. He’s pretty much one of the only ones that survived the cull of all culls at Saints, across an academy / academy to first team bridge staff. Insane amount of redundancies. Pretty much all scouts cut off, and in some cases entire talent areas shut down because of owners wanting to go fully into recruiting based on stats 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like anyone that wears a flat cap. That said and in all seriousness sometimes there are (local) players of an era where you wonder were they really in it as fans or not.

This, it would be interesting to know the list for starting games, certainly Louis would be behind Atyeo, possibly behind other players? Putting Louis on to ‘break’ the record was a poor decision in my opinion, and reflects the PR nature of football these days. He was put on simply to generate a headline, which is quite sad given the years when he was a first choice and top defender. Louis also took a break from City at Coventry(?), whereas Atyeo’s service was unbroken. Wish Louis well, from what I hear he is an excellent coach, as is Dave.

Slacker Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 To me,it felt like Steve Cotterell was either leaned on,or felt obligated to give Louis that final appearance to take the record.Just my opinion but SC appeared angry/uncomfortable about handing the record to Louis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was usually sat in the Lower Lansdown in the block next to the Heineken Lounge, so I would say he was in it as a fan, personally. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I like Louis and he served City well. I just don't think he should be counted as our record appearance holder. But I also don't like the fact that a player comes on for England in stoppage time and it counts as an international cap. I don't know if they still get a physical cap anymore but if so there ought to be a minimum number of minutes to play to receive one. But back to Louis and he does, aooear to be gaining a good reputation as a coach so good luck to him at FGR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Cotts would have been too bothered either way, but definitely leaned on from above to give Carey those several late sub appearances to limp over the line to take the the record. The club were desperate for some good publicity at the time but it was really disrespectful to the memory of Atyeo imo who is still the rightful record holder afaic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, even Vince was open about the fact she was a caretaker and that they were searching for a full-time role and she was welcome to apply. I just don't think it contributes well to the conversation around women in men's football when small steps are exploded into monumental moments that they are not. One day a woman will manage a professional English men's team full time and competitively - and that's fine and good, but it wasn't that day. Anyway, delighted to see a bunch of City old boys finally get a break and get a job in football. Jobs for the boys * *I am being facetious, good luck to them all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the cap but I agree the requirement should be to have to start a game at a major tournament. If you play for your country there should be something like you get the shirt you played in.

Baba Yaga Posted July 18, 2023 Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Wish them well especially with Carey on board but it still looks like a management team severely lacking in lower league experience, and if their strategy is based around a 'progressive' style as others talked about in the previous thread then I wouldn't be surprised if they find themselves unprepared once the season begins. Still I think it's a great challenge and will be watching from a distance, also Matty Taylor isn't a bad signing for them. Just seen the FGR manager from last season Ian Birchnall is now assistant manager at Anderlecht which I find a bit surprising.

Who better than the fully qualified coach, currently acting as Academy Manager. Always positioned as interim. Vince, when interviewed said she was welcome to apply, in fact he hoped she would. Media blew it up, not Vince. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
