The Grateful Red Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 KK must be looking around for a decent challenge these days and, let's face it, we would provide one. His Newcastle ties would probably mean he would get on well with BT (who would do well as Assistant Manager). He would get the team playing exciting football again like he did at Fulham.

JudgeRed Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 The fact that he wants out of football ← What is Colin Lee doing these days? Ex-city player been around the game. eg Chelea (player), Wolves (as mangager), Walsall (as manager), Torquay (as manager),Reading and Leicester City. The two (Mark McGhee) had begun their association as youth team players at Bristol City. Lee went on to play for Hereford, Torquay, Spurs, Chelsea and Brentford. Then a coaching career beckoned and, before joining up with McGhee, Lee served as a youth team coach at Griffin Park and later at Watford where he had a brief spell as first team manager. His reign at Wolves, as a caretaker, began well with a 6-1 win at the place where he started his career, Ashton Gate. This was followed by victory over Sheffield United, a draw with Norwich, and a win against Birmingham. It was enough to convince the board at Molineux that the 'caretaker' tag should be dropped. Lee was given a contract until the end of the season. He appointed John Ward, who had recently resigned as manager of Bristol City, as his number two and Wolves finished the 1998/99 campaign just one place short of the play-offs. Sir Jack Hayward and the Molineux board were quick to offer both Lee and Ward two year contracts, which they both accepted and signed in June. Colin Lee was sacked in December 2000 after a poor start to the season, which could be blamed on the sale of his key players.Where is he now?

What's stopping us?←Personally, I question his management skills. He openly admits that tactics aren't his strong point & I'd argue that he's only fine when working with a board that will give him money to throw at players. OK - so this seems a contratiction in terms considering Man City's finances, but I still maintain that he needs to be where the money is. Wonder whether he'd work for 'performance related pay'?

charisma_cider Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 He did the job at Fulham, although I can't really remember how, (was Al Fayed there then and just feeding him cash for breakfast? ) but I think the players would have some sort of lift if they knew they were playing under a manager of such a reputation, again, I'm unsure but I still think we already have the right man in charge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunley Legend Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 What about George Graham then?←George Graham would have us promoted out of our tinpot league by this time next season (or a few weeks earlier) if he was appointed AND given a few quid to spend. That is the problem with George Graham. We would not even be able to come close to matching his ambition. Therefore, non starter.But it does not matter because Tinnion will be at the end of his learning curve come August and with his own squad in place. Then watch us go!

If I was able to invest big bucks in BCFC I'd immediately appoint Kevin Keegan or similar to shake up the playing staff as Keegan did at Newcastle United in the early 1990's. John Hall's money and Kevin Keegan's management transformed the lumbering Newcastle giant from a second rate club to a serious top flight club almost overnight. Keegan then went on to take Manchester City from this poxy division to the top flight !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Thickett may have been good but Sam out moustached him all the way.

I know Kevin Keegan ripped us off for £1 million selling us Tony Thorpe but he is an outstanding football manager nonetheless in my opinion. If I was Steve Lansdown I'd be on the 'phone to secure Kevin Keegan's services right now before someone else snaps him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
