Keegan lost it a long time ago

 

he was wrong to go back to Newcastle - he was out of touch and well past his sell by date

 

sure he did a great job at Fulham, Newcastle the first time around and City - but he seems to hit a wall - and then quit under pressure

 

if he'd still been in real football when Newcastle came calling he might have been up to it - but he wasn't - and was out of touch and living in a different era

 

a big mistake on all sides!

 

I know there is fat chance of him coming to us anyway but if he did and stuck about a few seasons I have no doubt that he would get us back to the prem or at least challenging for the prem.

 

I dont think he is cut out for managment at the top level but he is more than capable of taking clubs up from the lower leagues so could be fantastic for us.

 

Wont happen though

TBF he does have "World Class Skills".

 

I always thought this was just a language problem with our Dutch friends. Someone obviously said , "As a footballer that Ryan smith has just about enough skill to work in a WC", and Wotte misunderstood.

 

As for "ITKK" Phil .... Lol

I have every doubt that he would do that without a large wad of cash.

I dont think he has always spent big but I agree he would need a decent kitty to get us going in the direction. But then again I think anyone we have managing us will need a decent transfer budget as our team is shiite from shiite town up a shiite tree

Agree - But I think it is best for a clean sweep all round.

 

I'd keep him on in some capacity. To be fair to the guy he seemed to have a good record with the reserves and stepped in as manager without really wanting the job.

Ah!! but he is no clown is he?

 

If your objection is to 'clowns' rather than 'Dutch, then surely you should not have mentioned their ethnicity, otherwise you are being racist?

 

If it is the Dutch you object to, why just them and not all Netherlands nationals?

Not in favour of KK. He seems to be a fair weather manager when he's got money to spend & its all going his way its fine but as soon as he has to actually manage a difficult situation he walks away so not for me. Also would accept Wotte if he stays but I think it would be better for a clean sweep. Ince would be my 1st choice as he's done the buisness at this level, Dragged Macclesfield up from almost certain relegation & got MK dons promoted. my only concern with ince is would he be off at the first oppertunity?

Time for a poll:

Tisdale/Ince/Keegan/Shearer/Boothroyd/Coppell/Cambridge mush/Coterill/Dowie ...and Gary Speed!

 

2 Poll's would be better.

 

1st would be for managers we would like to be able to choose from

 

Keegan/Shearer/Dowie/Hiddink/Mouriniho/Wenger/Fergy

 

2nd would be for managers that we would actually be able to choose from

 

Woggy/Gray/T-Lady/Mr Kingston (my 10 year old daughters school footy team manager)/Ali Dia

I've just heard some strange news from somebody I know in Cambridgeshire

 

Apparantely, Cambridge have given permission for Gary Brabin to speak to an unnamed League 1 club.

 

Rumours are that it could be Saints

God I'd hope it was someone a little more inspiring/ambitious than a fairly inexperienced non-league manager... Wouldn't give the best impression of the new boards ambitions.

 

Personally I'd still go for Paul Ince.

OK, I would be really worried if we got Ince. Such a brainless gob****e.

 

Have to disagree, Blackburn didn't give him much time and at the level we might find ourselves next season* (and with the potential) we'd still be a decent place to rebuild a career and squad for that matter.

 

I also think he might have learnt a little about humility after getting bombed out of Blackburn, I wonder if he went in with a big attitude and found the players didn't really know who he was...?

Could it be stockport? Aren't they without a manager.

 

Also if we have approached someone to be our new manager I wouldnt be too upset if it was Jim Gannon.

Grabin's up at Blackpool today already. Oldham were also asking permission to talk to him a while back.

 

KK won't take another job because it will affect his compo claim from Newcastle.

 

If this rumour is even remotely true, which given the "accuracy" of the ITK and rumour crowd is highly unlikely, it would have to have been someone out of work at the time - a. you can't tap up managers and b. no manager in work would run the risk of talking to a "potential" ownership group until they had the deal done.

 

Therefore IF the rumour is remotely true (same caveats) it would be Ince, Boothroyd or similar or, I suppose, Hoddle potentially.

 

However, far more likely is that this is just yet more "my mate knows someone who said" crap

Heard from a good source last night that the mlt/pinnacle lot have already approached a manager and if successful will announce the change this week.

Watch this space.

 

Well your good source is quite obviously full of **** isn't he?

ever the wordsmith aintforever!

 

the source is a friend of mine in the media (freelance),he does a bit for sky now and then and also does a bit for the national news channels.

 

if you read my original post you will see that i suggested that IF the pinnacle/mlt bid was successful they would by the end of the week try and present to the world the manager that they have approached.

it is obvious to me that if they have approached a manager it would have to be one of the 90 (give or take 1 or 2) out of work managers currently looking for a job.

 

it is also obvious to me that any potential buyer would or should do the same thing unless they are content with giving wotte a chance,something i doubt will happen.

Its diffcult to get the south interested in our plight at the minute let alone 'the world'

I believe this is unlikely, as of the end of the week no preffered potential manager had been identified let alone approached by pinnacle. I was told that they would look to start the process once they had officially been given prefered bidder status, which as we all know is clearly taking alot longer than first thought by those involved.

 

And no I do not know what the hold up is.

Like so many "good sources" on this forum.

All full of sh*t,or full of ale or full of ale and sh*t.

 

If I ever knew anything I'd tell you how I knew it. Unfortunately for us all I don't.

MLT backed consortium employing Hoddle? Doubt that very much.

Rather than Paul Ince maybe Martin "Mad Dog" Allen? Probably fed up with Cheltenham by now.

 

A fair few Cheltenham fans are fed up with him by now as well tbh.

 

Many of the critiscisms are reminiscent of Burley's time with us;not knowing best team,constant changing making it unsettled,too many loans,etc. The other familiar theme heard and read "we can't afford to sack him".

 

Off the field,I don't think we'd be too eager to appoint a manager who gets p!ssed and drops his pants in a town centre pub a couple of nights before an important home match :

I hope its Coppell, he is the new Laurie Mac we are looking for.

 

Coppell is probably burnt out, consumed by the rapid rise and fall of Reading FC.

Hard life being a football manager on fairly limited ressources, even Sir Alex had a spell when his sides were total crap. Then Quieroz came back

Any manager is a gamble but you can reduce that risk by going for someone with experience...

 

For us next season there is almost no bad name. All mentioned would be good, if not somewhat wishful thinking! Tisdale, Cotteriall, Boothroyd, Keegan, Hoddle... Ince. Only one i'm not sure about is Ince for some reason. I'm not Ince's biggest fan but then i doubt he is a big Sheff Saint fan either!
