Right who's the next manager then? (101 Viewers)

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Club legends should not come back to be manager.
Look how it worked out for Gary McCallister

leave legend status at player level for me

Outside of his club status, he’s actually rated. Has managed Maccabi Tel Aviv and won a league and cup double.

would fit into the current structure, and more importantly his status would afford him time.

id also throw out Anthony Barry, but he’s just became England Assistant Manager so unlikely

Surely they know who they're targeting/giving it too? Cant see them sacking MR with only the Sunderland game before the international break if they didn't have someone lined up.

Was worried we'd give it George or Delaney but with Carr put in interim charge that looks like none of the current coaches are getting the gig.

The statement about working with the current coaching lends itself to an unknown. Cant see a Lampard or the like not bringing their own staff in.

Bloomfield in the guardian might make sense.

I heard a few weeks back from a friend who knows people that move in the same friendship circles as Lee Carsley, that if not given the England job (yes he did want it despite what he said in the media) that he would be interested in the Coventry job if it became available.

I’ve genuinely no idea if this is good info or not but maybe plausible with his remaining links to the area and club ?

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Yes please

You’ve got to be joking

Bloomfield finished 16th in his first season with Wycombe and has only just started getting them playing good stuff

It's taken over 90 matches to see this happen , King won't wait that long

Matt Bloomfield doing a great Job at Wycombe. Got them top playing a 4 2 3 1 formation.

Their fan forum is sceptical - One user saying 'Who do Cov think they are'

Anyone bar Graham Potter can fuck off

Comments like this just make us look totally deluded to other fans

Logic, what the club seem to be indicating they are looking for.

Why do you pretend to be so right all the time. You said there’s no way Robins get sacked this side of Xmas. You were wrong, we are all wrong sometimes but you try to act like every single thing that comes out your mouth is 100% facts

A much bigger club than them is what we think we are.

 

[Governmac]

Yes, but can well imagine he won't want to move back to that having done the senior role

He does: Lee Carsley ‘hopeful’ of return to England Under-21s after defeat

 

[baldy]

Harry Watley of Ebbsfleet judging by my Footy Manager save

 

[Mr Panda]

Bloomfield linked already - sounds like we had been already sounding out successors then

Coventry City keen on Wycombe Wanderers boss Matt Bloomfield after Mark Robins sacking

A manager who is currently doing well at the top end of League One is a strong contender for the top job at Coventry.

I’ve asked this before - why should we care what other fans think?

 

[Briles]

Reckon Doyle was only at the ground last night for a job interview, since he wasn’t actually interviewed at HT as the former player?

Was very much ‘Michael Doyle is here. And now for kick it for a ticket’

I genuinely thought this for a fleeting moment last night

we are likely to be in a higher division than them next season anyway...would be flabbergasted if he left as I am sure he would want to see this project out



Eeeeesh

 

[chiefdave]

Said this when the minority were calling for Robins head, you're placing a lot of trust in King making the right appointment when there's an argument none of the appointments he's made to date have been improvements.

 

[standupforcity]

Rumours about Allardyce starting already.

FUCK NO!

 

[Briles]

FUCK NO!

100% England record...

ST holder and if it’s Lampard I’d be very tempted to stop attending.

That's hilarious. Surely tongue in cheek.

Might get Pints of Wine on sale in the concourse!

 

[djr8369]

If we don't have someone lined up fairly sharpish it makes the sacking a bit weird after 2 wins in 3

Feels like it’s been going on in the background for weeks.

I have a suspicion that this will have been planned around the same time as Vivesh left, but would have caused too much uproar had they got rid of Robins too.

The way the club is set up has clearly steered towards the European set up, moving away from the manager role.

Which leads to my second suspicion that we might end up with a foreign manager, similar to the route Sunderland have gone.

Also how Hull have tried (and failed) to set up.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

This Bloomfield guy sounds shit and has a shit name

 

[Brylowes]

Probably best to limp along as best we can until Wayne Rooney gets sacked at Plymouth, then make our move.

 

[Brylowes]

This Bloomfield guy sounds shit and has a shit name

So he sounds shit, twice

 

[twistandshout]

I really liked Robins, I hope that this move pays off.
The list of big name favourites to take over makes me shudder as I remember Peter Reid.

I'd rather we look to Europe than Bloomfield. Yes Wycombe are top of the table but his tactics and style of play doesn't stand out to me at all.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Hoky fuck can anyone even fathom getting soneone like Ryan lowe in. Jesus christ id give up on football and rip up season card.

Text from my lad from the Guardian:

Coventry have made an enquiry to Wycombe about the availibity of manager Matt Bloomfield.

Will Still's time to shine.

Thank you I couldn’t remember that guys name but wouldn’t want him.

Tragic

Honestly is doug impressed with his 16th placed finish last season or his dismal spell at Colchester?
