Owen Coyle 4th favourite?

The logic is that we will be going for a man already out of a job because we can't afford compo. Of the names mentioned I would choose Chris Hughton first and Malky Mackay second. Slightly surprised Billy Davies isn't in the frame given his experience in the Championship

Hughton @ Norwich = 29.3% wins

Lennon @ Celtic = 69.5% wins

Mowbray @ Celtic = 51% wins

Mackay @ Cardiff = 43.2% wins

 

Its a tough call, Hughtons record at Norwich wasn't great, but he did well at Newcastle. Lennon followed Mowbray and did significantly better than him, Mackay did OK at Cardiff but was bank rolled by billionaire Vincent Tan. Lennon won 3 league titles in Scotland and has set his sights higher than BWFC, if he does come, it will be to use BWFC as a spring board to secure a PL job. Our lack of finances will be an issue for him, so I reckon best option would be Hughton

No point quoting stats when they are skewed by the Scottish tin pot amateur league.

Paulo do canio

Sounds like Italian beastality porn

What is it about Lennon than people don't like? Is it just because he is an Irish Catholic?

Very little mention of Moyes

No gingers, jocks or tinkermen after our last 3 appointments -  Hughton it is then

I would guess so. Ever knew so many folk on here were church goers. Live and learn.

 

Rather him than Phil Brown or a Flitcroft. Chris Hughton is slightly damaged goods although good at this level, Mackay likewise. But I'd take both tomorrow.

 

Still reckon the final appointment will be a bit left field though. Gartside in the paper saying someone has go carry on with the mythical master plan, which will mean nothing to spend, bring youth players through - and the bit Dougie forgot, turn us into a decent Championship team on the field.

 

With that in mind, can probably rul out any big time Charlie types like Di Canio. It's all about who says the right thing at the interview.

Phil Brown on Talksport in a minute

I'm all for the right to protest...but what would they be protesting about? His Catholicism? Just so we're clear...

 

 

No..........because the man is a cunt.

I think they've made Brown a pundit on talksport. They had him in last week as an expert on the Ryder cup.

 

If we get Mackay in he might bring Hayden White back from loan as his 1st choice right back. White and Mackay could raise spirits here.

There's me thinking that Freedman was fired because we had just lost 4-0 to the bottom team in the League.

 

Hope that he doesn't get pressured by a bloody agent again into making another stupid appointment.

 

Having set himself a deadline of 2 weeks that immediately puts the Club under pressure.

 

Come to think of it, why do you need an agent to find a manager?

 

Find the right man hopefully involving "someone who knows about football" or at least a few others.

This, with Bells on.

Had no contact he says,and he's stalling on signing a new contract.

I doubt we will get Malky, hes holding out for a prem job apparently.

He is favourite now for China's national team.

Minor adjustment.

Giving a young player a game or two then jettisoning them in favour of some Palace loan player isn't, in any meaningfiul sense, 'bringing youth players through'.

And if it's part of the plan, someone must think we have young players worth 'bringing through'.

He is favourite now for China's national team.

Hughton now 7/2 with some bookies, I think Hughton would fit the right criteria for our manger. He isn't a gobby manager and he did a great job at Birmingham on a tight budget.

I'd go with that. Birmingham finished 4th and played in Europe that season.

He was sacked at Norwich for being negative and tactically poor. Prefer Mowbray. Better football.

That doesn't change the fact that it's the plan.

 

Problem with bringing young players through is that it's a long term situation. I'm presuming the recently departed manager feels that the current crop weren't good enough. You'd probably only be able to judge the situation after a few years when it is less about inherited players. And now he's not here, that's pretty much irrelevant.

 

Freedman wouldn't go out and loan players if the youngsters were good enough for the long haul. No manager would, however fuck witted.

Hughton now 7/2 with some bookies, I think Hughton would fit the right criteria for our manger. He isn't a gobby manager and he did a great job at Birmingham on a tight budget.

I know a couple of Norwich dans who would give you a very different opinion of Hughton and his failing tactics. But I do think his level is this level and he would do a decent job.

Id be happy enough with a Hughton appointment.

One of about 5 or 6 id take no danger.*

 

* Please note Keith Hill is not one of this 5 or 6

Any manager who is available now has "failed" at a another club, it is a question of getting the right manager at the right club at the right time.

 

The classic case is Rioch who built on the players Phil Neal had brought in but also had his own favourites he blended in to the side.

 

If we could pick up a manager half as successful as him we'd be doing well.
