The official "Who will our new manager be?" thread [Merged Threads]

[The Wookiee]

Has to be somebody new.

We have no chance if we promote from within.

 

[Marty McFly]

That -- or Dave Penney in place of Murdoch -- 's what I'd really, really like. Much as I think Dean is GREAT -- and of course Brighton through and through -- I simply don't think he's suitably experienced at this level.

I agree. Needs a few more seasons as first team coach/assistant manager.

Stuart Murdoch would be good (as would Dave Penney) and he also lives locally. (or did)

 

[Bozza]

Danny Wilson has to be as good a name as any right now, surely.

Albion past and a good record in this division. I think he'd have got City up if they'd given him one more season.

My only reservation is that he always had a lot more money at City than he'll ever get with us.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Its going to be Hoddle.

Hoddle is going to coach Jamaica.

Re: Danny Wilson ..............................

..........is on his way.

I don't want Danny Wilson. What has he done since managing Barnsley. He is now struggling at Hartlepool too.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Will we get an application form a manager with Champions League experience.............wait for the Argus propaganda

I'd be happy to give someone a chance to build something almost from scratch. He should have an experienced NUMBER 2 to help alongside him, but some love and passion for the game ought to fire and build promise in our youngsters.
Might as well try Wilkins. I like him.

Got to be someone new I believe. Someone with a penchant for taking no shit and no pussy footing around. Someone who can shake up the whole thing and breath some life back into the old salt....

Someone from inside is probably going to be too jaded and friendly with the players to give the boot camp required to turn this ship around.

I thought McGhee could have done it with a swift kick up the back side but I guess not....c'est la vie...

Are you lot mad?! Don’t get me wrong, Wilkins has done wonders with the kids where the softly softly encouragement style has worked a treat for the young lads. However, in the cut and thrust sharp end of football league management of which he has NO experience at all I think it could be disastrous to throw him in at the deep end and expect results instantly. Imagine if we struggle, people will be booing him in a matter of weeks and slagging him off, wheres that leave his future? If we have to then demote him he will have lost the respect he has built up over the last few years (like the Hinchlewood nightmare of seasons past).

You have to go with someone with experience and it has to be someone well connected as our squad is fag paper thin and needs boosting. Im afraid Deano has neither of these.

If he gets it though, i wish him well and hope im wrong.

 

[Da Man Clay]

I dont think so at all.

Look at our list of recent managers, Adams, Taylor, Coppell....
DK has a habbit of picking up managers way beyond our current status and im guessing he will do it again.

If you dont ask you dont get.

Falmer seemed closer then, and we had money to spend and werent going backwords. We have f*** all chance getting anyone as good as the names being out about here.

 

[Hannibal smith]

Dave Penney doesn't inspire me either. I'm sure he had a bigger budget at Doncaster than he would here. Besides which, If McCammon is a yardstick of the players he signs he'd be a disaster.

Lets face it, whoever we get is going to be cheap. No big names this time.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Looks like Alan Mullery,then.

Get yer boots out,Wardy!

You're all having a laugh. I'd love to be proved wrong, but I can't see it being anyone other than Wilkins.

We have:
No ground
No prospect of a ground any time soon
No money
No real asset players, and a need to sell as soon as any of them reach that status

And add to that, we have now publicly shown to the whole country that we have a bunch of disloyal fans who will grow easily discontented at very little, and a board who are prepared to make rash decisions on a manager against their own previous judgements, based seemingly on radio phone ins and nsc polls.

Its the job from hell.

What you lot seem to want is an experienced manager with a reasonably decent track record in the lower leagues, and who is prepared to come to this situation and stick it out. Where could we find someone like that? Ah wait...

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Lawrie Sanchez?

Could Lawrie Sanchez be the man to take over the club, espically with Mulryne training with the club, and then Mcghee goes? Coindence?

 

[Turkey]

Mickey Walker, Peter Reid, Peter Jackson are believed to be on Donny's short list.
