Popular Post boosmanana Posted 3 April 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 3 April 2023 If we truly didn't have anybody lined up/targeted, and any kind of succession plan then we deserve everything that we get. It'd be ludicrously poor club management/ownership. Brighton showed exactly how to do it when Potter left, they had someone perfect for them already lined up who met the club's ethos and the way that they wanted to play. How we've fallen so far in such a short space of time is pretty shambolic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both viable options there would want contracts. Short term contracts are rare and are usually taken by managers like Hodgson or complete basket cases like Pardew. Would be very uncharacteristic of us to even consider names like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 Honestly I’d give it stowell till the end of the season. See where we come then and assess things, he can’t be any worse than Rodger’s he’s got loads of experience. He’s taken charge 9 times and never lost a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd certainly be a more tempting proposition to prospective managers if we survive the season and can promise funds to rebuild. Might attract a higher tier of manager than the relegation fodder candidates we're sure to be linked with currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksz Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 Stowell’s odds way too high at 18/1 considering sky are paying out interims/caretakers completing 10 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless your ITK , I'd say you don't know and neither do i😄 If nobody realistic is available, I'd keep it in house until the end of the season. Is Walshy available to kick their arses?

And there’s got to money available because we’ve got 8 players out of contract so we’ve no choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guesty Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 Don't care if we win our next game convincingly I wouldn't want Stowell there. He's a goalkeeping coach for a reason. How many times did we see Duncan Ferguson take over Everton. He'd win the first game. He's running around the sideline punching the air. He's running in the crowd, hugging kids and kissing babies. Big Dunc's our saviour they chant. Then he loses 3 on the bounce and he's back to sitting on the bench. We've left it so late we can't afford a bad run of any sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted 3 April 2023 Share Posted 3 April 2023 3 hours ago, Fear Of The Fox said: If we wait until summer then we need to go for William Still. I don't want Potter. I understand and appreciate his work at Brighton but he failed at Chelsea. I don't care if this wasn't his team, he accepted the job and had one job: Make these players there play some football. Fail. I mean his brief was "here's 700 CBs and no strikers, win us the champions league". literally no manager will succeed there while Todd is actively involved rather than just putting money in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just won the lottery, but also had a deluge of death threats towards him and his family. Would you really want to be stepping into a relegation battle with a squad of key players who’s contracts are expiring after the former manager complained and sold a narrative of lack of funds it wouldn’t have been the wisest career move for him at this time. Plus palace, spurs and this opportunity could be available again in a few months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we signed half the defence we scored 9 against so we might as well put the final nail in the coffin! 😱 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
