southgate why not

[jessiejames]

why are so many posters on here against garath southgate being next albion boss,copple was my first choice but now he dont want the job, curbishly possible looking at a premier or championship job,southgate is possibly the next best available,unless we get somebody who is still in a job and look to pay them compo.

I think he could be successfull with us but I think there is a certain risk factor. Would also depend on who he could get in to assist him and as coach, I bet he has some pretty decent contacts in the game.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

To be honest,not a bad shout.

 

[jessiejames]

If we go for a manager who is a realistic target at another club what about darren fergusson

 

[J2 DOG]

What has he done in management!He was fortunate at Boro that they have an excellent chairman who gave him a chance that he f***ed up.If my memory serves me right he played for Palace and he missed a crucial penalty playing for our country, other than that he wasn`t a bad player but he is not the man for us.

If Southgate took charge we would become the most boring club in League One

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Errr... what qualities and track record does he have?

Because, clearly, a lot of people on here haven't got a fuckin' clue but like the sound of their own voice.

If we land Southgate, we will arguably have one of the best managers in League 1 and the Championship (when we get there)...

 

[Beach Hut]

He has only worked with big budgets and we lack these at the moment, we don't pay £1m plus for players.

Has he ever managed a lower league club before?

Has he ever managed a lower league club before?

His managerial record starts and ends at Boro at this stage.

 

[Silent Bob]

The millions and millions of pounds he spent on players who are barely Championship standard don't fill me with much confidence.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I think Southgate would be a great shout, recent experience of top flight and, albiet briefly, championship, recently qualified so fully up to date with latest techniques, former international footballer and part-time pizza ad actor ... perfect.

I'd be fully behind the appointment

 

[beorhthelm]

i think he might be OK, but really has no experience of the lower leagues. bit of a risk, probably try to play "nice" football and not really get anywhere. Coach/Assistant material rather than Manager for us methinks.

 

[Napper]

Some of the names being branded about fill me with Dread.
Southgate doesn't but he is still unproven and his lack of L1 experience would worry me

 

[Halcyon]

Because after another one of boro's defeats, he looked bewildered in the interview and said something along the lines of 'not being able to fault the effort of the players' - bit like the fake mickey Adams we had this time round. Not the character we need to get us out of this mess.

 

[Rookie]

God no, did you ever watch Boro under him? Managed to take McClarens semi decent team spent a few quid and make them worse until they got relegated. We can do a lot better just because he played for England and has managed in the Premiership doesn't mean he is a good coach/manager

His managerial record of complete failure, perhaps?

 

[Driver8]

He has had one job and f***ed it up so why does anyone think he could be good for us? Just because you have heard of someone does not make them a good manager. Some people seem to think any link with the premiership equals success.

we not got much other hopes have we?
