Manager for next season

[AV89]

Not that suprised Pearson has plumped for Derby.  They're a better club than us and with all the uncertainty over the takeover, why wait for a job you may not even be offered.

'Better' is such a strong word...

I'd say Derby have a better chance of promotion than us at the moment.

[cdbearsfan]

But as we don't have a clue about who will be playing for us next season it's largely pointless speculating.

They're not a better club. they may be a better run club at the moment, that could change within a season given the right circumstances.

They are better at the moment as they're more stable and settled than us.  They've been pushing for 3 or 4 years at the top end of the table as we have stumbled around punch drunk in that time.

All they have over us is a recent history of bottling it when they look to be in a decent position to get promoted.

Surely, if RDM knows he's got the job he'll already be doing any work he would be had he been announced anyway

He'll probably be watching DVDs of all our games from last season.  The poor sod.

Maybe they could edit the DVD to just show the good bits......

and make a gif?

I hope we choose another one soon.
My work password is coming up for renewal for the next 3 months.
It looks as if I'll have to go with Doug again.

I keep trying to put beef stew as my password. It keeps saying it isn't stroganoff...

Whoever RDMbrings with him will be just as important. There's a club re- build going on here, not only a campaign to get back into the Premier League.

Get a grip man

[conman]

It doesn't matter who the next manager is, because unless the deep rooted issues at the heart of the club are resolved it won't matter a jot.

thats why i want mick mcarthy

[clash city rocker]

We just have to sit and wait because patience is our best friend at the moment.

[Toronto Villa]

Fair point, but fact is to get us out of the Championship we are looking for a different kind of manager than them (not that we could realistically attract them anyway).

And again, why is it that the Championship is the only competition in any sport where this is a 'fact'? Why is experience at that level more important than ability?

It's as daft an argument as to suggest that once Eddie Howe got Bournemouth promoted he should have been fired for a manager with PL experience. The only immediate question that needs to be answered is whether or not Di Matteo is good enough to manage in the Championship? And clearly the answer is yes he is.

[brian green]

The even bigger question is how big will his budget for new players be.  With a decent, strong manager in place we have enough talent in the squad as it stands to get promotion.  What we don't know is whether adequate funds will be available to dispose of toxic players, keep our better players and bring good players in.  Money is central to our success or failure next season.

You have a very clear type you fall for haven't you Conman!!

Pearson... now McCarthy. Both big hard useless lumps that think they are more talented than they ever have been, are advicates of the if it moves kick it philosephy and are generally objectionable bastards. Glad neither will be fouling our door next season.

I'm just quite relieved conman isn't involved in our recruitment process!
