Pricey Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Would he want to leave a stable championship club though. Folk will be wary of us for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentBob Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 14 minutes ago, Hoppy510 said: Hopefully that's not rhyming slang. Dean Holden would be my choice too but it all depends on whether he's ready for a move back. If he's up for it he's probably been around enough now to do a decent job. Fortunately not, and yeah, it'd all depend on whether he fancies the step up too. Even though it could end up being a write off season, I don't think anyone wants to see another Sammy Lee type come in. Just think out of the names mentioned, the set up he's been involved in looks best overall, and you'd hope he's been learning from that.

Flannel Truscott Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Expect this to be quick, all but done already. They'll not be writing the job ad to pop in next week's classifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) If it’s Nolan would be better if he may be had an experienced number 2 with him some old head might work well . There was talk of a director of football role being made when FV first came on the scene think it was warburton now at QPR mentioned Edited August 29, 2019 by Farnywhite Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted August 29, 2019 Members Share Posted August 29, 2019 I’d be happy with Nolan or Keith Hill in this division or lower, the structure in place is going to be equally if not more important going forward though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane57 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nolan, Hill or Sol Campbell would suit me. Don't really care. Treat this season as preparation for next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 We've only had about 4 really decent managers in nearly 50 years imo. Armfield Greaves Rioch Allardyce Maybe sling Toddy into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm being too sentimental, but I think Parky deserves an honorary mention in that list, even if it's just for his dedication and professionalism under the worst possible circumstances.

I'd argue its the perfect time for a younger manager - no pressure, no expectancy and a group of fans who are united again and not looking to criticize. Agree 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a honorary mention for Phil Neal?, he did help rebuild the team, brought some good players in and got us out the 4th division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know what he could have done in better circumstances. He was basically working with his hands tied behind his back for most of his time here. The fact he stuck with it for so long elevates him in my opinion. As I said, I'm probably being too sentimental. It's been an emotional few days.

Why you think a proven manager would doo any better with no money? We got fuck all to lose any up and coming will be ok with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think you’re right with that list, but what order would you put them? 1, Sam - he achieved success at the highest level. 2, Rioch - 3 fantastic years, brilliant football, such a shame he didn’t stay and carry it on in the prem. 3, Greaves - superb football at div 2 level but struggled in div 1. 4, Todd - justified inclusion for the ‘record’ season alone & superb football. 5, Armfield - good football but never managed us above div 3.
