[:D][um][st] [<:o)][/quote]No, but this poster seems to have nailed it:Fans often say that choosing a new manager is not rocket science.They''re right, but not in the way they mean. If it WAS a science itwould be easy. It would be possible to know if someone was a good or abad choice.In reality all directors can do is take an educatedguess. Even with a manager with a fantastic track record there is noguarantee they will do well at a particular club. Paul Jewell shouldhave succeeded at Derby (back in the Championship). He was a disaster.As for our choice I had the following criteria:1. Someone with a track record as a manager. Not someone who had only been a coach.2.Someone with some record of success, even if there was a failure or twoas well, providing the failures were explicable and understandable.3. Tactical nous.4. Youth (comparitive youth, at least) and ambition.Lambert fulfils those criteria. Others (such as Boothroyd and Robins) would have done too. We shall see.

barclayboys 0 Posted January 9, 2015 Thebigfella seemed more optimistic than most fans were on lamberts appointment, including myself. I too was hankering for one of the names at the time, most of whom went on to be failures at other clubs. This time I''m prepared to accept I dont know anything about which manager will work and get behind AN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted January 9, 2015 Guess that''s the point, no one knows how the next or any manager will work out, including them.All we can do as fans is get behind whoever gets given the job and we have to hope that it turns out for the best.There are many clubs who have taken managers on board thinking they would be great and they turned out to be hopeless, and on the flip side there are many that have been the opposite.I''ll get behind AN if it turns out to be him and I hope he gets the boys motivated like he seems to have done at Hamilton, that is one area we haven''t had since Lamber left, like him or loathe him, he certainly motivated the team to play!

nutty nigel 7,513 Posted January 9, 2015 What''s interesting on that thread is the managers we put forward. Has Darren Ferguson up and come yet? Is Mark Robins really the special one? Heck I even remember putting forward Calderwood''s name for one of our past vacancies! And what happened to Wiz''s perrenial favourite Steve Tilson?! As posters we''d have the worst record at appointing managers and we only have to come up with a name!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barclay_boy111 0 Posted January 9, 2015 It''s funny just re reading that post from Shaun in 2009 when lambert was appointed a lot of the same points are being raised now.I think that shows that we need to give some one like AN a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
