What a project it could be for him...... Yes and they got out of that boat thanks to.... a brilliant, clever owner. So we're funked already on that score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be daft. It's much more likely to be a young upcoming sort who's grateful for the opportunity and so knows his place in the hierarchy - i.e. subservient to the coward owner and the coward technical director. I cannot believe they will appoint someone again whose profile is bigger than theirs and who might stand up to them because his experience (playing, managing or both) and authority far exceeds anything they've ever achieved in the game. Another yes man who won't rock the boat has to be odds on favourite. Edited October 29, 2023 by Merrick's Marvels 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that better than previous manager appointments that were picked by the 'suits'? - Holden etc. I'm guessing Tinnion will want someone who uses the academy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tinnion's eye for head coaches is as good as it is for young players, then we could be onto a good thing. Given we've spoken with Rowett though, I remain skeptical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollywhyte Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 My hunch is they want Eustace. I mentioned it to a mate as soon as Rooney took over there, the Pearson interviews were all surrounded by a young head coach departing his role at a direct competitor. I think something was in the offing around then. A chance at a decent long term appointment without compensation. Has worked with Dickie at QPR. Was assistant at Republic of Ireland last year too. Makes sense on many levels. Only issue being Pearson 100% should not have been sacked and personally I’m gutted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Swiss Tony would be a good option. He wears smart suits and would always give a good post-match interview - eg “Today’s match was very much like making love to a beautiful woman. We got stuck in where it hurts and had plenty of box entries” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRedRobin Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 If we have to have one of these three would want it to be John Eustace. The manager top of my list right now is Ryan Mason. Yes it is a risk but has done well when caretaker at Spurs and I think could be a good young coach to come in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR sacked Ainsworth last night and you'd assume they'll be in for him as he's an ex-Assistant there and probably the best out of work option for any Championship club at the moment. You could make a plausible case that the club have moved now in order to get an offer in before anything is signed with QPR. Totally agree with your last sentence.

I'd be happier with Mason than many of the other options. That said, I'd take pretty much any option - including Joey Barton - over Nathan Jones. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
