His players play for him and he's a Championship promotion specialist. Edited November 12, 2022 by TeemuVanBasten 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratton canary 35 Posted November 12, 2022 Agree with Teemu get him in, at the very least he has a style of play, but we also need a team that are willing to battle & scrap to win points, this lot are mainly a team of individuals that can't last the pace.

Capt. Pants 2,578 Posted November 12, 2022 He wouldn't be my first choice by a long way, but he is out of work and the cheap option. The question is how bad do things need to be before we sack Smith?

Probably not affordable in a post-parachute reality, but the sensible gamble for a roll of the dice if he'll accept terms similar to those in my OP. Hell, make it £2m bonus if you want. Promotion = extension option. No Promotion = Sorry can't afford you anymore mate, good luck. WEBBER DO IT NOW!

All the Germans 1,012 Posted November 13, 2022 I wouldn't have him. I don't think he's very good. Let's not get rid of a not very good manager and replace him with a not very good manager. Making a change is only worth it if it's an improvement. Just because it's sh*t now, doesn't mean changing it won't make it sh*tter. It's like bringing an ineffective Hugill on for an (injured and therefore) ineffective Sargent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grick 4 Posted November 13, 2022 If Bielsa gets the Bournemouth job I'd rather see Gary O'Neill in as our manager, achieved more than Parker with the same squad and knows the club. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 99 Posted November 13, 2022 My choice would have been Paul Warne,shame he has just gone to Derby. Or Emma Hayes, someone to shake things up. I think we need youngish and hungry. Scott Parker might fit the bill, any newish manager needs to cut their teeth and learn somewhere. Might just be the right stage of his career for us. But somehow our hapless owners and so called sporting director need to grow some cojones snd get rid of Dean Smith first. We know that they will just smile and be happy clappy for months yet however....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarybubbles 1,174 Posted November 13, 2022 Not sure about Parker, but I like the idea of a short-term contract and a huge bonus if we go up plus a longer contract. But will any decent manager go for it? And is there anyone not working at the moment who would give us hope that this season isn't a complete write-off?

Would agree with your comparison but this ‘he knows the club stuff that gets offered’, how’s that going to make any difference? Won’t make him, Robins or Martin any better at managing the team! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 6,978 Posted November 13, 2022 No, not Scott Parker. He whinged that he couldn't do anything with that Bournemouth squad because it wasn't close to being good enough to compete in the Prem. Gary O'Neil now has them 13th in the Prem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 919 Posted November 13, 2022 12 hours ago, TeemuVanBasten said: He looked very classy in his brief time here, I think it was obvious at that point that he was going to be some player. He was embarrassingly good. Looked like a thoroughbred in a field of donkeys and I almost felt sorry for him playing here. That said good players have a much patchier record when it comes to management and he seems a bit too flash. I get the feeling it wouldn’t be too long before he’d fall out with the Board but I suppose if we could sign him on a heavily weighted results based short contract he might be a better option than what we have at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must play free flowing football for 90 minutes. Must get promotion. Must keep us up. Must be able to make all fans happy. Must not drink tea/coffee on the touchline from a mug. Must hold interesting press conferences. Must attend the AGM. Must agree and implement with all tactical changes suggested by fans on social media and message boards. Must hold after match interviews that all fans agree with. Must make substitutions that all fans agree with. Any suggestions who fits the profile? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
