Who do YOU want as our manager?

[Surf's Up]

My person Spec for the job would be something like this:

ESSENTIAL

1. British
2. A good track record of managing in the Champioship
3. A good man manager and player motivator
4. Good and proven tactical acumen
5. Thoroughly prepares team for every game, taking account of oppositions strengths and weaknesses
6. A good communicator
7. An ego which is strong but in check
8. A touchline general
9. Very clear on the type of football he wants to play and the kind of players who can deliver the football he wants to play
10. Has the ability to get the very best from his players and knows how to create a strong unified team mentality.

DESIREABLE
1. Has got teams promoted from Championship in past
2. Experience of Managing or Asst Managing a Premier League side

Anyway - just a few thoughts

 

[Pinkie Brown]

He text me and said looking to move and get job in uk was looking at lower leagues or Scottish bigotry at moment maybe worth a punt

Is that code for him suggesting he wants the Rangers job?.....

 

[perseus]

Ian Dowie, a Pompey supporter said. Is he on a wind-up?

Not Chris Hughton for me, although it would not require a tactical alteration. More of the same.

 

[doogie004]

Bloody texting sorry not very good

 

[Surf's Up]

Give jones a go. Young, British, good coach and knows the club

Jesus H Christ!!!!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Pulis - I hated his Stoke team, but he would certainly save us this season and get us up next. Where we go from there is up in the air, but we really can't afford to go down.

Absolutely no chance.
1.He left Palace because their budget wasn't good enough for him.
2. He asked for his £1million bonus from Palace for keeping them up, & walked out the next day.
3. He wouldn't drop down to the Championship.

One clear candiate: Paolo Di Canio

Experience as both a player and a manager at the highest (inter)national levels.
Managed a successful promotion season. In an English league.

But above all, passion.
Because that's the only thing that really matters in a manager, isn't it?

Frank psychosis, sure and a a terrible man-manager.
But you've got to concede my point about passion....

Would we have anyone left in the dressing room?

 

[Diablo]

Still Tony Pulis for me....is De Canio... a serious suggestion?

 

[The Wizard]

Pulis, unrealistic though he won't come here.

Bloom isn't one who appoints obvious options though so won't be surprised if we go down the obscure route, a little more difficult this time though as he has to factor in whether the incoming manager can pull us out of this mess, mid season.

Odds on Karl Robinson have shortened considerably - now 2/1 favourite

 

[Icy Gull]

Still Tony Pulis for me....is De Canio... a serious suggestion?

More likely than Pulis

 

[Change at Barnham]

Scott McCarthy. Enough said.

 

[jasetheace]

Hoddle with Chappers well and truly earning his spurs at Burgess Hill.

 

[BensGrandad]

Was either Hughton or Sherwood at Spurs when PB was?

Ian Dowie: is it a

Div 1 for sure if we employ this P**k!!!!!!!!

 

[RexCathedra]

Div 1 for sure if we employ this P**k!!!!!!!!

I was assured scores of times here that the problem with the Finn was his lack of passion, his being undemonstrative on the touchline, and his post-game interviews.
With DiCanio, all of that is sorted at a stroke.

Sven then!

It could be, but stick with him and it would be The Premier League within four years. Sometimes people in football, as in life, are branded with an unfair reputation; Paolo Di Canio is one such. It's going to take a brave, perspicacious owner to bring Paolo to their club. Someday someone will be richly rewarded if they do.
I fear it won't be B&HA.

I'm all for passion but I'm not convinced that Di Canio will be able to sort our mess out!
