CB Fry Posted Sunday at 18:35 Share Posted Sunday at 18:35 The next big day on this forum will be the meltdown on here when Lee Carsley is presented to the media as the new Wolves / Leicester / Palace manager. Still, Sport Republic know best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Sport Republic know best. Perhaps disappointed that others have acted whilst our Board sit on their hands. But would anyone be bothered if he went to one of the clubs you mentioned? Not appointing Carsley in itself wouldn’t be a concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted Sunday at 23:31 Share Posted Sunday at 23:31 Honestly don't think Carsley would give us much more of a chance than we have now as he wants to be hipster with his style of play too. Moyes is the one we need to be going all out for as he is "old school", not in the route one sense but the sense that he actually looks at what he has available and picks a system to get the best out of them rather than picking a system and sticking with it regardless of how well we do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Offer him a contract for the season. If we go down the contract ends (unless both parties agree to extend it). If he keeps us up the contract automatically extends for a year or two, along with a massive end of season survival bonus thrown in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsely would be a huge improvement on Martin, imo. Probably wouldn't keep us up this season (I don't think anyone would) but would gve us a great chance to rebound next season and then stay up. He likes to 'play out from the back' and dominate teams, but he's much more pragmatic than Martin. Less addicited to 'retaining the ball' at all costs, plays with pace and directness outwide and we'd get inbehind teams a load more. Think the best of us up to the halfway line, with the missing peice when trying to actually score goals. In short, I think Carsely would be a great appointment who'd keep to the 'possession based' style we seemingly want to integrate within the club with a load more pragmatisim to actually help us win games. Would he want the job? Probably not. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played tedious, useless, recycle, sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards, boring, suicidal, ineffective, possession obsession football in our own third of the pitch in most of his matches.

Anyway, despite that cluster fuck of managing the best players the country has, his complete lack of any notable club management experience, his seemingly complete lack of desire to enter club management in the 15 years or so since he retired from playing... he's clearly the man for us!

England also had a team of players way above the quality of the Republic of Ireland. If we had those players and were playing a midtable Championship team I think we'd be disappointed to be 0-0 after 55 minutes, wouldn't you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be pretty darn lazy. Anyway, I'm just saying I don't think there is much in Carsley as a Manager, and that he is similar to Martin in hair-brained tactics and football style. The fact he has been managing one of the best squad of players in World football may have masked his abilities, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer my next Manager to have managed more than 20 club games in the Championship, had a permanent club Management role and perhaps have significantly different tactics to our current Manager.

Considering I've said he should leave for the past 6 weeks I'm not sure that's correct. Who else have I found fault in? For instance I would happily take Moyes, but he won't come.
