ExiledAjax Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I guess I'd go Eustace over Rowett. Eustace really should still be in work, his sacking was at least as unjust as Pearson's. Birmingham looked ok when we played them and he's "in credit" rather than on the scrap heap. Not my first choice overall, but probably my choice from that list. Edit: I suppose the argument for Rowett is that he got a limited Millwall side to outperform their wage budget and make the playoffs last season. Could he repeat the trick here? I'd argue not this season given our injury list, and then I'd argue that he wasn't repeating it this season at Millwall either, so in summary; probably not.

FNQ Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Probably worth a tenner on Curtis Fleming.. . He’s a nice guy, will do as he’s told and gets on well with the players… oh, and he won’t cost much. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new manager right now would be drinking from a poisoned chalice - coming into a team where the fans want the old manager back and the squad is in tatters. They'll likely get off to a bad start, and fans could turn quick. Anyone coming in now, certainly from the above list, seems doomed to fail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst what you say is really unappealing, I am inclined to agree that it's the best option currently on the table. Fleming for a few games as things blow over would be fine by me. But if it's true that the board have already been making moves then it might make them look more incompetent if it now becomes a drawn out process and some of the options start going to other clubs.

Atticus Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 How many on their are an actual upgrade on Pearson? Also. Judging by Jon's comments on his sacking, I'd expect top 6 minimum now as a remit for the job surely? It has to be that or face the sack, no exceptions. That's the bar that's been laid by the clowns. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, don’t see any of them with NP’s quality of CV. Of that bunch Eustace is probably the least worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be slightly inaccurate but Rowett is pretty proven at this level of improving teams. Did well at brum until the new owners sacked him. What are we classing as a failure and success for managers? Is it promotion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
