Norfolk Dan 336 Posted December 31, 2022 I would have been happy with Scott. He has landed a better job than us, so how is that a phew !? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,761 Posted December 31, 2022 Don't really know why I didn't want him but I didn't. Would prefer Wagner 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldy09 196 Posted December 31, 2022 There are few top coaches willing to take on the city job- who want to take on a disjointed team with very little financial resources Steve Bruce may be the only short term answer though personal like to see Russell given a short term contract, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would prefer Wagner Why I wouldn't want him is the stance at the start of the season ("we are not equipped for the premier league"), which translated to "I don't think I'm up to the job of keeping this team up." Rookie manager Garry O'Neill is at least having a go at it. By way of contrast, Wagner took a worse team than Bournemouth or City into the premier league and kept them there for a season. No brainer to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminally Yellow 2,614 Posted December 31, 2022 Interesting tweet from an account claiming to be an ex-guardian football journalist. Her account does seem to be pretty convincing. Not the usual spam bot/anonymous **** stirer. I would throughily doubt Parker was a "top target", although I would believe that Webber would want to speak to him.

Graham Paddons Beard 2,786 Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Is that the same “turned down the Norwich job” that he wasn’t offered - as Frank Lampard turned down (and wasn’t offered) ? Edited December 31, 2022 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unhinged Canary 375 Posted December 31, 2022 I'm fairly sure Scott Parker is going to be just fine managing in the Champions League in a couple of months and not giving a second thought to a mediocre mid-table championship side. Some of you really need to have a word with yourselves..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sooty57 414 Posted December 31, 2022 Scott should really enjoy his time in Bruges. Lovely place, easy to get from UK, and a smashing cardie shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtopia 573 Posted December 31, 2022 He really would not have suited us. He spent a fortune at Fulham and Bournemouth, then complained about the amount of money he had spend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
