Bovril 264 Posted December 28, 2008 Hypothetically speaking, who would we relistically be able to bring in, who could save our season, with barely 14 permenant players and a transfer war chest of £0...times like this you need a man who knows the league, has plenty of experience and as much as I hate to say it, someone like Neil Warnock...so who could we bring in?The only man I can think off so far is Iain Dowie, obviously no compensaton would have to be paid, has plenty of passion, never really completely struggled at a club, good job at oldham, good job at palace, and not giving enough time at coventry or qpr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jetstream 0 Posted December 28, 2008 I doubt it too but I''d prefer him to Dowie any day - people criticise Roeder for being a ''one season'' manager but the same charges can be laid against Dowie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackburn were too soon for him, he needs somehwere he can go to get his reputation in the game back on track.. also, he wont suffer fools gladly and might actually toughen up some of our players...

jetstream 0 Posted December 28, 2008 No, look at the mess he made when he left Palace "by mutual consent" and got sued by Simon Jordan.He then made a mess of things at Charlton (15 games in charge) and then Coventry when he tried to leave to go to Leicester (allegedly).Then he made a mess of things at QPR and left after 5 months in charge.Everywhere he goes he falls out with the owners - what''s so great about him??

But I can''t ignore what a great job he did getting Crystal Palace promoted after taking over with them in the relegation places. With that in mind I can''t help but think Dowie would do a decent job here. I do understand what you and some of the other posters are saying though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What he showed at Palace and Oldham has given me the idea he has the potential to be a great manager for us. And anything has got to be better than Glenn Roeder. I have never rated Roeder and never wanted him here from day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bovril 264 Posted December 28, 2008 In my opinion Dowie is much more like Worthington like Roeder, indeed had he not gone to Northern Ireland the two would have very similiar cv''s indeed...People always bring up bowen but the bloke (correct me If im wrong here) has never even coached in england let alone managed in our league, yes he would be a popular appointment with the fans but would he be able to get us out of this messAs for curbishley there''s no way he would come here, here''s another like roeder that I get the opinion is quite arrogant and thinks he''s better then he actually isMalky Mackay / Dion Dublin would be an interesting one, both of them certaintly have bags of experience from their playing days and indeed both are very bright and will make good coaches but would they need an expereinced manager head alongside? in which case I never like that..as for me there should be one figure head, not two or 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
