Jersey Canary 143 Posted October 30, 2022 I’ll put this out there off the back of a win. I think we should appoint Bielsa as our new manager. Whether we win lose or draw we will be entertained and he has a track record of getting promotions. What do you think? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 31, 2022 Its funny we don't begrudge players high wages but think we .can't afford a good coach. Sometimes you have to look at what gets the most benefit. A striker on 50K who misses penalties or a good coach on 100K a week 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the burden is that they're an overhead rather an an asset, and should things go wrong after a year you have to pay the entirety of their contract off to release them. i.e. 6m x 3/4 years starts to get expensive. A player you can loan/transfer out. Edited October 31, 2022 by Google Bot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, maybe we should stop spending £10 million plus on the likes of Sara.. and put more in the budget for a top class manager? Would love Bielsa. But not going to happen.

I'm not sure he will have endeared himself to the club. I'm far from convinced I'd want such a person here to be honest. I confess I have missed any anti comments he has made about the club, but he left a full year before the model really took flight, with Webber as sporting director over a head coach.

Wings of a Sparrow 1,409 Posted November 14, 2022 I wouldn't be at all surprised if we see an American coach come in. Somebody we've never heard of. Whether that's sooner or later, I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
