Lessingham Canary 99 Posted May 20, 2017 I have a strong feeling that it may well be Carlos Carvalhal, seems to be gathering pace this rumour and would further strengthen our Portugese links. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted May 20, 2017 It won''t be carvahal. No chance. Probably won''t be Keller either. Will be Rosler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackney Canary 95 Posted May 20, 2017 [quote user="Move Klose"]It won''t be carvahal. No chance. Probably won''t be Keller either. Will be Rosler.[/quote]I can''t normally claim to be in the know, but on this occasion I feel fairly confident that the new manager will come from a club outside the UK. That doesn''t mean it is Keller, but it rules out Rosler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted May 20, 2017 The Keller rumour seems to just come from SkyBet slashing his odds then suspending betting, only to reopen in later. No one in Germany has heard anything about it and Nick Mashiter said Union Berlin have denied it. Keller had a pre match presser yesterday and was talking about next season. I think there is nothing in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted May 20, 2017 Im 95% sure it''s Rosler. I''m surprised so many people think it won''t be. It''s just obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,070 Posted May 20, 2017 well Rosler was down for talks but it has been a while since he was down here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,389 Posted May 20, 2017 I would be happy with Rosler, who describes his football as "''heavy metal'' attacking football, with powerful quick football with quick transitions from attack to defence.[53][54]"Anyone know what heavy metal football is?

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted May 20, 2017 well it was heavy at wigan and sunk !Thats my only fear with Rosler yes ok done well at Fleetwood but NCFC is totally different it is like Cowley at lincoln yes he can deal with players in that league get them playing well but would that work with Klose or Pinto ?? you never really know until they are here how managers will perform like Lambert after he left us when here looked the best young manager in country Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lharman7 39 Posted May 20, 2017 Our first choice is Wagner but it''ll be Rosler if Huddersfield go up. If Rosler bails last minute it''ll be a foreigner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 768 Posted May 20, 2017 Did Rosler get Wigan to the Play Offs or did I completely dream that up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted May 20, 2017 [quote user="Gordon Bennett"]Did Rosler get Wigan to the Play Offs or did I completely dream that up?[/quote]Yeah 5th in 2013/14 season. Took over from Owen Coyle when Wigan were 14th, and got them to the FA Cup Semi-Finals beating Man City in the process.Then got sacked the next season :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 498 Posted May 20, 2017 Was reading about Rosler yesterday think he has a soft spot for Man City , named his two sons Colin & Tony after Colin Bell and Tony Book and one of them plays for Man City academy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted May 20, 2017 Not surprised Diane. They loved him there and he scored a lot of goals for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 498 Posted May 20, 2017 Didn''t realise he played for them Nutty until you mentioned it so looked it up152 apps with 50 goals no wonder they liked him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FCC 75 Posted May 21, 2017 I wonder if it is Rosler but he is having a holiday before being announced. Would certainly look better than announcing "Here is the new coach - he is off to the Caribbean for 3 weeks, but is eager to get started." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feels like David Moyes to me though, maybe I''m being harsh, but he was involved in the playoffs three times (Brentford, Wigan and Fleetwood) and didn''t go up in any of them.Lambert was just a good motivator though. Once Culverhouse had committed the cardinal Villa sin of standing up to Gabby Agbonlahor, there was only going to be one winner, and that summer Lambert offered his resignation, only for Lerner to give him a new four year deal.
