If the latter , this would suggest no such plan tbh. Also why hold on to Flemming and sack the others , if that’s what they did ? These are good questions. I don’t think we know the answers yet.

Med/MadHatter Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Jon Lansdown probably thinks that he can get Claudio Ranieri in to finish off Nige's hard work for the second time, that's how deluded the crayon chewer and his Dad is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Whoever it is has a huge task on their hands given the feeling of NP’s departure. Normally a new manager is seen as a positive, someone to come in and sort something out; in this case it’s the opposite. They aren’t exactly going to get the usual sort of welcome. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpcity Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 8 hours ago, Harry said: I’ve read quite few posts on here today which say “Tinnion will be the Kingmaker”. If that’s that case, which many seem confident on (myself included), then why does nobody seem to be pointing out that Tinnion was also likely to have been the Kingslayer too? If he’s in charge of who’s coming in, it stands to reason that he’d have also had a major say on Pearson leaving. I have a theory (which I have genuine reason to believe based on events), that Tinnion has been the man with the power ever since Gould left. Obviously a manager wouldn’t be sacked without SL’s consent, but I don’t think it was actually SL’s idea. I think Tinnion is the man in charge and he’d have been the one who put this option to SL for him to ratify Did anyone find out about if someone questioning playing King was true? If so could it have been Tinnion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Either (a) a sale of the club is about to be concluded and the new owners want their own man, which is why monies weren’t released for Nigel Pearson to spend, so welcome Pep , or (b) it’s Lee Johnson , just in time for Christmas.

I’ve been sat here this evening putting a few puzzle pieces together from things I’ve seen or heard over the last few months and it’s crystal clear to me what’s happened. I'm really struggling with this, just can't see it of Tins and I don't get what benefit he has to gain from it, considering BT will never be the City manager again. But if you guys are saying it I'm more than happy to stay open minded, I don't know the bloke and some of you might! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I haven't read all the various threads this morning but if we want a young, promising coach with an excellent background, I would try to prise Liam Rosenior from Hull.

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I never bet on anything but it is sometimes interesting to see what the betting odds are seeing as getting that right is what those companies do for a living. Most of the names mentioned are there so far, Scott Parker is one I haven't seen talked about but there are so many posts I might have missed it. For comedy value, Joey Barton is 33/1. Rowett top at 4/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Almost could not care less about who the idiots appoint now. If they, by some miracle, appoint another good one, such as Pearson, they'll get rid of him just as quick. However, most likely they'll appoint some waste of space, sychophantic "yes" man.

Why he would want to come back, Hull are in the play off positions, he's doing well there, and he did leave here under controversial circumstances over his contract renewal - or contract non renewal as it was - meaning we lost a good player for nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective (and I do like an occasional flutter), John Eustace would be a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard…there was a meeting yesterday morning where some free agents were presented to Nige. I guess to bolster the squad through injuries. Nige said no to them. I’ve no idea if true or not. But the time to give him players was August when there was choice. Good on you Nige. But it contradicts something else I’d heard that they’ve been trying to move-on Nige before Sunday, so why on a Sunday morning are they trying to give him players. My 2+2=5 is that perhaps the bloke they had lined up has now reneged and they had a last-minute “shit themselves”. So, all a bit unknown imho.

Cheers Fevs, we'll never get the full detail but always interesting to put the pieces together best we can. Weirdly, even though we've had a couple of weeks build up, I'm still a bit in shock that it's happened and we're speculating about a new manager. Supporting City is just a non stop soap opera.

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 In terms of the type of manager, I would prefer someone who has experienced what elite level football is like in recent years rather than a journeyman manager who has spent a career moving around L1 and Championship clubs. I look at some of the names discussed and see people who have not stayed anywhere for long and not succeeded in anything notable. I don't want a Frank Lampard, but someone that generates at least a bit of excitement and respect amongst the squad at the prospect and has more than just a list of clubs and Manager of the Month awards. We had a manager in Nige who had that elite level experience and need to replace him, like for like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think on this occasion it will be a very quick appointment to cease all 'the noise' against the lansdowns....never before has a manager received so much backing and is far more popular (and probably more powerful) than the board itself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 If it does turn out to be Rowett appointed, then this is a recent and decent analysis of his style of play whilst at Millwall. I can't see how he will be a decent fit with the players we have to hand. Interesting that it mentions he was released as the board were disappointed he couldn't achieve the play offs... https://totalfootballanalysis.com/team-analysis/efl-championship-202324-millwall-tactical-analysis-tactics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Simply , BT gained more power when Gould left and more again when Alexander left. He probably sees us as needing a different set up, one that has a coach rather than a traditional manager. That would cement his power within the organisation. Undeniably. Whoever gets the job will be his man. Lets put it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
