Sacked

Nearly 500 games as a manager

 

Just checked his CV decent experience but not fantastic record.

Don't give a fuck who our next manager is. Just be nice to end the speculation we've had to go through ALL season. Ownership, player contracts, managers etc.. It'll be nice to have things settled for the first time in years.

To be fair, he's managed some shitty clubs who are usually in the doldrums, his win rate isn't too bad.

 

Not sure what his managerial style is but it seems obvious to me Holdsworth wants a manager who is well known for getting his teams fit as a flea. Expect plenty of runs up Rivington in July from our squad

Agree but I don't think he's been given the chance to manage anywhere that he would be expected to win anything. Win ratio of 39% is reasonable. Most decent managers will be 40% or so. Most of his experience seems to be steering potless clubs away from disaster - Oldham, Newport, Plymouth etc.

 

If we are going just off previous success in L1 you would have to go with Cottrill from the current contenders - ex team mate of Deano as well.

Spent a fair bit getting back up. Big no for me. Did well at notts county too. Big budget iirc too. Steer clear

Just basing my view of Sheridan on his ability to organise poor teams into ones that are hard working and hard to beat.Everything we are not.

Don't have a problem with Sheridan tbh, we are where we are. Sheridan must have something about him, to resuscitate Oldham from a nailed on relegation.

Can Sheridan build or just fire fight maybe we get him in to fire fight ready for the next mon to build

Interesting listen after Southend's loss against Wigan yesterday and the interviewer asked Brown about his future. Scroll to 3 mins 25.

He's got to the point where the only thing standing between him and his dream job is his Chairman. Without suggesting he is doing it on purpose, his best chance would be to keep losing games at Southend.

 

Sounds like he's our next manager, just a matter of when. The Chairman goes to press at the weekend to say how disappointed he would be if Brown left, sounds like a dance to the finish line which our owners have to say stop at some point.

99% of managers are shit

 

All about right place, right time

 

Its probably wrong place, wrong time for any manager

The majority of managers start off with a poor-ish record. Start off low down collie a manager's sacking. Therefore a club not doing too well. They then have to learn and gain experience.

Brown and Sheridan have both done that.

Bolton. John Sheridan a very live target. Usual compo issues to sort.

Deano is waiting to see what the crack is with brown clearly he'd be daft not to its all down to how much the Southend chairman wants to dig his heels in

I honesty prefer Sheridan to Brown he's done great on tiny budgets& hopeless cases .At the moment we need someone to stop the rot & turn things around .Brown for me is the emperor bout clothes

a slightly delusional character who believes his own bullshit......hope to God its me that's deluded!

Now Sheridan,

 

Better than Brown

I don't think a Sheridan character is what's needed next season we have a bunch of decent young kids who might need arm round them at times a father type figure/manager not sure Sheridan is that type of manager. Brown for me at this point in time. I'd also have no issues with Peter Reid, yes he was abrasive but think he's calmed down, knows and loves the club and I'd like him involved somehow.

We need a manager who knows the lower league's and will make us hard to beat. Sheridan ticks those boxes for me.

But Brown isn't like that he publicly humiliated his team on the pitch at Man City, in that last interview he was laying Into the players in the media,

Think he's learned from that mistake, his record at Southend until the Bolton link suggests the players liked him and played for him.

He also brought two players off 2 minutes before half time on saturday

I'm happy to boo whoever takes over

On here I half jokingly threw Sheridan's hat into the ring before we got Lenny in, mainly to counter calls for Browny, Keith Hill or Big Mick...

 

I seem to recall him wading in once when we had a team of men not pussies, for that (well that and a decent ratio with poor teams) he'll do for me.

On reflection I think Scott Sellars was the only one who didn't wade in, but that's not the point...

 

Senility is kicking in as I still can't recall the match it happened in.

3-0 win against Wolves, January 1997. Bryan Small was the only one who didn't join in, he instead chose to do some kick-ups on the Manny Road touch line.

 

Sheridan over Brown for me, by the way. Even went to the extent of checking last night that Sheridan played in the same team as Holdsworth during 97/98.

Don't think Sheridan waded in, I think he started it in the first place! Browny talks a good game but I think that's it and a few ITK say he is an arrogant so and so. Sheridan I think the job may be beyond him but that goes for a lot including Brown. Glad I'm not making the decision almost as much as I'm glad it isn't the last board either. Will get behind whoever, would be really nice to get a good thing going again
