OnDaBall 141 Posted October 28, 2023 Nevermind getting a young, up and coming manager, are we in serious danger of needing a Warnock/Big Sam type appointment to just keep us up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Hook or Ian crook 943 Posted October 28, 2023 Not for me but I can understand the logic. Of the two I’d rather big Sam. I think his team at Bolton got rather unfairly criticised when they had a lot of good players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_81 1,101 Posted October 28, 2023 Get a grip. Too many of them on the pitch. Need someone younger and up and coming. Plenty out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,524 Posted October 28, 2023 I'd take him for the rest of the season. Knapper gets his guy over the summer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnDaBall 141 Posted October 28, 2023 I realise I am probably panicking and I wouldn't want either of them, but it's looking more like a rescue job than a push for promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Jedi 610 Posted October 28, 2023 Normally I’d be against it but why not? Last two appointments of ‘proper’ managers have been dire. We need a more effective football style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 7,798 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) He's too old fashioned, too self opinioned and too honest and blunt for Webber and Delia. They both prefer nice smiling yes men. Edited October 28, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Jedi 610 Posted October 28, 2023 I overheard a bloke in the Cellar House slurring some words about football tactics. Sounded like he knows what he’s talking about. He’d do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 147 Posted October 28, 2023 I think I would rather have relegation than have either of those two Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted October 28, 2023 Apparently he is a useless cnut who doesn't play proper football. That he knows how to get the best out of lesser players means nothing apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy 147 Posted October 28, 2023 I dont want a football mercenary,I want a manager who will commit.Not one who is just here for the money and just walk away if it doesnt work or bask in the glory if it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 4,415 Posted October 28, 2023 I proposed Warnock mid week. Yes I know he gets shouted down but he has a solid history of sorting failing teams. I actually think it's exactly what we need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know about Warnock as the person but I think we really need to put a temp guy in charge till the summer personally. We need to break out of this cycle and reset. That’s not likely to happen mid this season and any manager is going to be tainted. Let Knapper come in, assess what he wants in terms of Head Coach and players for the football he wants us to play and then start the work towards it with next summer as the reset point. This season is a bust, this squad isn’t close to good enough for a promotion push. Short term focussed decisions are just going to prolong the agony IMO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
