bazza Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 I come on here for an update on the manager situation and I have to trawl through pages of sh17e about other posters. Come on mods sort it out! Anyway back on topic, it looks like Sherwood has his odds shortened and Magath widened. Does anyone think the bookies are playing with the odds to encourage betters to place bets on other candidates by making them look like they're in with a chance (by having shorter odds)? Sherwood for me is a no but to be fair he's only had 20 odd games and I haven't seen anything that would make me believe he'd be a bad choice, it's just that I haven't seen anything to suggest he could be a success. Yakin and Koemen have both shown they could be successful. Personally I'd be keen on either and added into my top 3 would be McLaren. Very good coach and I believe would be a good fit for the direction the club has been looking to go in. Pretty much my thoughts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solentstars Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 I know kevin Bond quite well and his view on Sherwood is that he upsets players in the dressing room when things aren't going well. He tends to lose control of his emotions and ends up ranting at players who don't take kindly too kindly to being shown up in front of their peers. For this reason Im Out. That's why Sherwood needs man management experience to get the respect of players.no way will the board approve a manager like that has team bonding is important.

Saint Garrett Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 Sherwood is an absolute embarrassment. No thanks. His style wouldn't suit us either. 2 banks of 4, big man little man up top, wingers, etc. Would be a massive change, when we are desperate for a bit of consistency right now.

CB Fry Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 If true, sounds good. Get the feeling Yakin never really in the running after all. Not a huge amount of point having a second round with anyone apart from the preferred candidate, so imagine they are looking to get a deal done now. Perfectly happy with Koeman, though. Sometime next week, then, chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 It's been a done deal for about 14 days, I reckon. It's clear he wants to come here, which is often the biggest stumbling block...! And I cannot see anyone being stupid enough to pass up an opportunity to bring in Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallBoy Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 I suspect that the deliberate delay theory may be correct. Having said that we will not consider further negotiations until the new manager is in, it then makes sense to delay the appointment until after the World Cup has started. This enables the club to keep a steady course and allows the new manager time to assess his options. Maybe there is a master plan after all.

Pretty epic, really. All of his success at Feyenord is based on selling their stars, bringing through the young players and they finished top 4 twice. Now those young players are going to the WC with holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 Starting to think it'll be Koeman. Would be pleased with that.

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 7 June, 2014 Share Posted 7 June, 2014 Can't help feeling that if we are deliberately delaying it's a case of cutting off our nose to spite our face. Obviously I'm sure if we have already agreed something with Koeman or anyone else, they are looking at transfers already, but we can't move for anyone if we're saying that we won't sell anyone until a manager comes in.
