Next manager?

[lovejoy]

Good player, good manager? Does that always work?

Every manager we have appointed this decade suggests otherwise.

If Henry doesn't want it pay Celtic 2.5m and get Rodgers with Terry as 1st team coach. They would be a good partnership I reckon and will have worked together before.

A few of the Irish members of the London Lions I was speaking to on Saturday were less than enthused at the prospect of having Henry as our next manager. The fucking cheat.

That would be great

As SVC pointed out, our 3 owners have zero clue about football recruitment. Zero.

Should we be worried?

Given the state of our defence, I reckon Terry is vital in some capacity either as number 1 or 2.  We need him back pronto.   Smith could ensure quick attacking play.  The two could be just the ticket.

As influential as he was on the pitch, we've no real idea of what his actual managerial approach would be and what style of football he would favour.  He could be another dinosaur in the making!!  At least with the likes of Rodgers and Dean Smith there is pretty clear evidence of what their approach would be.

I can't imagine many decent prospective manager would appreciate having a coach imposed on them.

Why would anyone think Terry would get more out of our defence than Steve Bruce did? Wasn't Steve Bruce quite a good defender?

Terry was better.

So? Who was a better player, Sherwood or Graham Taylor? McLeish or BFR? It's almost like playing ability makes no difference and we should just try to appoint the best manager we can, rather than acting like bunch of starstruck idiots and appointing anyone who was a big name player.

Well, I agree, but Terry did have a very positive effect in organising them while playing, so it's not mad to suggest that he might be able contribute to organising them in training.

I definitely concur though with the daftness of this 'one coach does dafence, other does attuck' kind of thinking. We need a whole strategy for how to play and a guy to come in and set the tone for the whole team, not just hope to sort it out piecemeal. That's got all the subtlety of the Sherwood Doctrine: 'defenders defend, attackers attack, midfielders play midfield'.

Watch me give a shit. Ferguson was such a dirty player his nickname was Razer Elbows. It's amazing the spite people hold sometimes.

We should interview Maradonna then in that case

I must admit, I thought ideas and approaches would have been made prior to the sacking of Bruce which was nailed on to happen sometime in the first few months of this season. I get the feeling of a bit of chaos at the moment.

I think it might be that the Bruce sacking was not pre-planned and was a reaction to the Preston game.  If that was the case, then arranging a shortlist and carrying out the interviewing process isn't something that could be done overnight and would take a bit of time.  On top of it all, whoever gets the job is going to have to put together an entire backroom staff, which is going to take a bit of time if it is not already in place. 

Fuck me, if they were still behind Spud until the Preston debacle after the shite we've turned out this season then I really do worry.

Yes let's not take a manager as he once instinctively handled the ball as a player...makes perfect sense....jeez.
