If we made the change now they would have 31 games (after Arsenal) and a transfer window to do it in. And the rewards for pulling it off would be enormous in terms of opening up opportunities with top 10 clubs 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Has anyone called for a Lallana/Adkins double act yet? It’s got so bad I wouldn’t turn down Wokegate, not that he’d come. Moyes won’t either, or Potter. Not knowing who we should get doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get rid. It’s not my job to pick the next manager, but it is fucking someone’s. Other clubs manage to upgrade their manager why do some of our fan base think it’s impossible, just because they can’t think of anyone better. There’s a lot better out there than this nloke, that’s one thing I’m absolutely convinced about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Gotsmanov Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) I think we can take a glimmer of hope from the fact that a few seasons ago, Bournemouth were dead and buried, with their manager Scott Parker saying they were not good enough (as I remember it) only for O Neil to come in and keep them up. One thing for sure is that if we do get a new manager and he keeps us up then they will make a film about it.........

Dark Munster Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 After de Boer was sacked after losing the first four matches Palace brought in Roy, who guided them to 11th.

hypochondriac Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I'm excited if we do bin Martin to see what a slightly more direct manager could do with the likes of Amo Ameyew, Sulemana, Fraser and eventually Edozie. Allowing that lot to actually run and dribble with the ball would a significant new dimension to our game and hopefully give us more of a goal threat - not that that would be hard! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I've always liked Moyes, a proven decent manager who knows his way around the prem. I don't know if he could get us out of this but I'm sure we'd be a hell of a lot more competitive than we are right now. This team is better than the current performances IMO. Plus I think we'd have a fair chance of landing him. If they are going to change the manager I hope they don't delay - right now would be fine by me. No-one is expecting us to get anything out of Arse so the new guy could at least have a chance of taking a look at what he's got with no expectations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer Saint Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I think the biggest issue we have is attracting a Manager to lead us - apart from Championship Managers and random unknown foreigners I don't think anyone will be particularly interested. We don't have the lustre that we did prior to Ralph arriving in players or stature, and being given this team, with no money to spend due to PSR and an almost nailed on relegation is not one that Moyes and certainly Potter would want to take in. West Brom are also pushing for promotion this season, so I can't see Corberan wanting to leave that project either (they won't suffer from PSR issues next season due to being in the Championship for the past 3 years, and a new(ish) American owner.

Not as far as I recall, just felt he’d done his time as Ralph’s number 2. In hindsight I think he was right! Obviously he’s tactically aligned to a type of football most of us enjoyed, knows the club, some of the staff and some of the players. On the face of it his stats at Sheff We’d aren’t overly impressive but in the context of a relegation battle, an unhappy supporter base (fed up with their owner) and a lack of funds he’s done an excellent job there. He’s even got a tune out of Shea Charles (motm in a win v Corberans table-topping West Brom). Unfortunately I wasn’t aware of @Disco Stu news that he’d recently extended his contract there … but managers shelf lives are even shorter than players’ so that in itself doesn’t mean it can’t happen. It probably won’t, of course, but he looks more appealing to me than many of the other names I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 We would be able to attract more than a Championship manager. We are a BPL club which in its own right attracts a lot of candidates. We have been extremely lucky that we are not cut off in the league. Hence why SR need to act now. If we are cut adrift then I agree it is much harder to attract managers of more calibre. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsdale hasn't fixed anything (i.e. got us winning) but has made our scorelines only 3 against rather than 5 or 6 against which they would've been with any of our other keepers in goal! I guess if that had happened, we might have a new manager now! 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad time for a manager of Potter’s profile to take over. The Club’s at a low ebb and favourite to be relegated. Plenty of time to steady the ship and build some coherence, yet he wouldn’t be expected to work miracles. If we were relegated, he might fancy a project similar to Marco Silva with Fulham a few years back and bring Saints back to the Prem with an overhauled squad and a style and strategy which works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
