Happy Wanderer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I've just been looking around for a manager that has 'been there and done it' that could prove worthwhile. How about Peter Taylor at Wycombe Wanderers? Who's your choice?
Zozzy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 My choice is sticking with Gary Megson and hoping he comes good
frank_spencer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 There isn't anyone out there who we could attract that i would 'want' at the moment. we had the chance of a 'big name' when we apppointed Sammy Lee but went with continuity.
Happy Wanderer Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 You can't turn a turd into anything else. You can mould it slightly but it's still shit?.
no balls Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 There isn't anyone out there who we could attract that i would 'want' at the moment. Good point. Though, I do like Joe Kinnear, so he can come when they get a 'proper' manager in!
HomerJay Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 sorry, but nobody (we could attract) could guarentee anything better than megson could acheive. making such a change would be a HUGE gamble. maybe we should just do as newcastle did and employee a keegan type manager, (just as shit as the previous man, but shuts the fans up)
Bobcat Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Good point. Though, I do like Joe Kinnear, so he can come when they get a 'proper' manager in! I'd rather have Roy Kinnear..... he doesn't swear as much... cause he's been dead for ten years..
frank_spencer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Good point. Though, I do like Joe Kinnear, so he can come when they get a 'proper' manager in! that'd be ace, idiot in the west stand: Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Joe Kinnear: who are you fackin booing at you facking cant i oughta come back there and sort you out, cant!
Bobcat Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 sorry, but nobody (we could attract) could guarentee anything better than megson could acheive. making such a change would be a HUGE gamble. maybe we should just do as newcastle did and employee a keegan type manager, (just as shit as the previous man, but shuts the fans up) well... we are twelve months into his tenure.... he has spent close on thirty million.... and we are in exactly the same predicament we were in twelve months ago... I would argue that a better manager could get more from that team.... another manager would possibly play attacking midfielders from the start... another manger would possibly not be happy with securing a point a game.... another manager may possibly have the knowledge and the confidence to mix things up a bit...especially at home... so i think another manager could acheive a hell of a lot more than megson.

If we had appointed another manager there is a good chance that we would be playing in the Championship league this season.
frank_spencer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 phil brown i'd love him here but he's not going to leave Hull for us.
L/H White Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 If we had appointed another manager there is a good chance that we would be playing in the Championship league this season. But, if we stick with this Manager, we will be playing in the Championship next season.
HR Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 There isn't anyone out there who we could attract that i would 'want' at the moment. we had the chance of a 'big name' when we apppointed Sammy Lee but went with continuity. Our choices were Souness, Dowie, Jewell, Bruce & Coleman. Phil Brown was hardly on the radar then.
HomerJay Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 steve bruce is doing a wicked job a wigan, wish we had him instead. just imagine how many points we'd have now!
frank_spencer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Our choices were Souness, Dowie, Jewell, Bruce & Coleman. Phil Brown was hardly on the radar then. that was Megsons appointment time. we never got chance for roumours when we appointed LSL it was pretty much announced straight away that he was manager.
Happy Wanderer Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 If we had appointed another manager there is a good chance that we would be playing in the Championship league this season. I think that was luck no good management, it was the players that kicked on and 'woke up' with the fear of relegation. I'm still smarting from the Lisbon episode / Wigan team selection.
frank_spencer Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 if i said to you on saturday night at 9.30pm spurs will sack ramos and appoint harry redknapp by 10.30pm you would have me drug tested. bwfc is home to phil brown, make him(hull) an offer they cant refuse. we have to try sticking with megson is simply not an option i'm starting to come round to that way of thinking my self now
Sluffy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I've just been looking around for a manager that has 'been there and done it' that could prove worthwhile. How about Peter Taylor at Wycombe Wanderers? Who's your choice? No thank you! Peter Taylor as managed in the Premiership at Leicester City and failed badly. He inherited Martin O'Neill's side - which wasn't a bad one by any means, then spent a small fortune on players such as - Gary Rowett (Birmingham City, ?3m), Ade Akinbiyi (Wolves, ?5m), Callum Davidson (Blackburn Rovers ?1.7m) and Trevor Benjamin (Cambridge United, ?1.5m)!!!! He lasted a year - Leicester never really recovered from his spending spree and are now in the third division!!! My pick from the lower divisions would be Gary Johnson (Bristol City). He did a wonderful job at Yeovil guiding them out of the Conference up to the third division. He turned down Derby whilst at Yeovil (they appointed Phil Brown instead) then moved onto Bristol where he got them promoted to the second division and last year they got to the play-off finals only to be beaten by Phil Brown's Hull City.

I'm still smarting from the Lisbon episode / Wigan team selection. surely from that point of view it's also the players fault we were down there in the first place and are there again. Megson deserves credit for keeping us up, but this season is showing that he isn't the man in the long term

HomerJay Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 as far as im concerned, barring disaster (ie bottom at xmas), then megson deserves a full season in charge. if on the last day of the season we have stayed up by the skin of our teeth, or indeed been relegated then yes he should walk at the final whistle.
little whitt Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 its not who we can get its who will come to us

I'm still smarting from the Lisbon episode / Wigan team selection. That's another thing i'll not be forgetting in a hurry. Plays a strong team in the 1st leg, then fields a weak side in the 2nd. Then get's beat off a 10 man Wigan side.
Zozzy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 surely from that point of view it's also the players fault we were down there in the first place and are there again. Megson deserves credit for keeping us up, but this season is showing that he isn't the man in the long term Don't be silly frank, everyone knows that if we play well or get 3 points like we did against Man United last season and West Ham this season it is down to the players. But if we play badly it is Megson's fault.
