Third bookies favorite . Your thoughts

Cbaker89 · Feb 13, 2013

Would love him back the way he was treated was poor when he left an fans always held him in high regard. Would love him back!! Get us scoring again

ccfc92 · Feb 13, 2013

Different league, different players. Less money. Wont be the same.

ajsccfc · Feb 13, 2013

Why not. Either he'll be a success or put an end to his name coming up every time there's a vacancy.

covcity4life · Feb 13, 2013

is he with a club at the moment?

im always up to taking him just so we can end the "would he have been the messiah" debate once and for all.

ccfc92 · Feb 13, 2013

On fm hes assistant manager at Sunderland I think

ajsccfc · Feb 13, 2013

He was at Blackburn last with Kean, I think he was let go along with him.

torchomatic · Feb 13, 2013

There's no doubt he was great at the time and he was unfairly treated, but I wouldn't want him back. Let's just have fond memories of the time he was here. There's no guarantee he'd be able to recreate those times now.

Mucca Mad Boys · Feb 13, 2013

Not at a club, can we finally get him!?

I think it'll be inspiring, but I got a feeling he wouldn't be as good as we'd all think.

Think he got the Heave Ho by those Chicken nutters in order to bring Henning Berg in.

fernandopartridge · Feb 13, 2013

He wasn't all that. He was as inconsistent as anybody and his team ultimately failed when it came to big games. We had Wigan, West Brom and somebody else to play to be in with a real shot at the play offs and didn't really turn up for any of them. No thanks.

Houchens Head · Feb 13, 2013

Twiddling his thumbs at the moment. He could be tempted? :thinking about:

Delboycov · Feb 13, 2013

Would be a potentially disastrous appointment imho. Hadn't managed a club before and hasn't been a permanant manager since and even by his own admission he isn't comfortable as the boss and prefers to be a number 2. Yes we played some great football in the little time he was here but we also played very poorly in a number of his games and I think it's easy in hindsight just to remember the good days and forget the bad. Apart from when it comes to Strachan of course who gave us the most entertaining CCFC side since 1978 and yet is widely regarded as our worst ever manager. Football's moved on......we've moved on (or down) and I honestly think he would probably fail miserably although at least it would stop the endless calls for Black to be appointed every 12 months when we're looking for a new manager.

kg82 · Feb 13, 2013

When he was in charge of Blackburn earlier in the season he did well.

ccfcway · Feb 13, 2013

46% win record as Cov manager in Championship
Robins record in the championship was 31%

Lost 1 in 6 when managing Blackburn the season

theferret · Feb 13, 2013

Black would be an ideal temporary solution to the end of the season and then take it from there. Wouldn't be against that at all.

Yeah, the season we were relegated was epic, as was the start to our Championship campaign. And let's not forget going a whole season without winning away from home. You accuse others of having rose tinted spectacles? There were good moments under Strachan and he was far from our worst manager - but he is also the only manager in our recent history that had serious amounts of money to spend.

Talk about the best since 78? John Sillett, consecutive finishes of 10th, 10th, 7th & 12th in the top flight and an FA Cup win to boot. And then we sacked him :facepalm:. Forgive me, but those times were far more 'exciting' than the Strachan era.

Colonel Mustard · Feb 13, 2013

Would love to see Eric return. He checks all the boxes:

1. has had success at CCFC in the manager's role
2. is out of work
3. apparently lives locally

Warwickhunt · Feb 13, 2013

Might be worth a squeek on BET365

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Feb 13, 2013

Better than most of the generic names thrown around when a job is available ie Brown/Ince/Megson etc.

covcity4life · Feb 13, 2013

is thiw first time that black has been unemployed when cov jobs come about?

covhead1 · Feb 13, 2013

Interesting thought, but i don't think it will happen

would'nt mind if it did tho.

Quite unfair to be honest. Not saying I want him but Black himself said about those very two games that we lacked physicality and he was very aware of it and it was something he identified as needing addressing in the Summer. You can hardly blame him for an inherited squad.

Don't know about 'rose tinted spectacles' but I reckon you could do with putting on a pair of any variety if you read that I said that it was the "best since 78"! If you put your glasses on you'll see I said it was the most entertaining since 78...we were even tagged "The Entertainers" you may remember that. The season we were relegated certainly wasn't "epic"...never said it was but for a lot of his reign it was the most exciting time to support City apart from 87 in my 35 years of being a fan. As for having money to spend it's all relative and he built 3 decent sides that provided me with maybe 4 or 5 of my all time favourite games. Yes he stayed too long and at times was a stubborn prick but I'm glad he managed us and give me a Strachan over a 'nuts and bolts' Coleman or a Aidy Hoofroyd any day of the week!

deanocity3 · Feb 23, 2013

Houchens Head · Feb 23, 2013

ohitsaidwalker king power · Feb 23, 2013

Steve Keans number 2 perhaps?

Ccfcisparks · Feb 23, 2013

I can't imagine they would of invited him along next week unless it was all done and dusted OR they are going to keep interviewing next week and he is in the top 3
