Right who's the next manager then? (18 Viewers)

[Telfer85]

Are DK and the board thinking they need a bigger name to attract the type of players they are looking at? Missed out on a few targets in the summer was working with Robins not a big enough pull? Not saying it was all down to this but maybe a factor.

Before anyone says anything I think Robins should have had more time I’m just posing the question.

He was given a lot of games to show improvement. He’s gone whether we like it or not. Yes, it would be great to hit the ground running. After all, it’s a results business.

I totally agree with you FF, points in your post I’ve argued myself on here, but I do see that potential candidates looking at City from the outside could be put off by how MR has been treated.

Gyokeres and Hamer got videos to the fans and especially designed images by the club to thank them, Robins who has done more than any player got nothing in reality.

Yes, but that’s the extent of their involvement. And the manager has full say over everything football related in a normal club setup. But if you appoint people the manager can’t sack then you take responsibility over their areas of performance too.

When you’re a multimillion pound franchise that’s ticking along most seasons I can see the appeal of stability. When you’re a scrappy upcoming club punching above its weight ripping what’s working out and replacing it relies on you being able to pick better on average than what you’ve got.

Although I’d point out Pep is a manager, not a head coach.

Ultimately I don’t get why Robins gets seven years of results then 8 months is enough for him to go, but those brought in more recently don’t go first.

The manager having full control is on its way out now though at most clubs

And king sees robins as the issue not the new coaches clearly

 

[Quball]

Given the fact dougs like to buy shite from Barnsley he's not after their manager is he 🫣

 

[blunted]

Nobody think Boateng was brought in as a possible replacement? He’s had limited experience as a manager, but has held several roles as coach and even assistant manager for Ghana.
wouldn’t be my choice, but i could see it being an option being considered.

I accept Ghana don't have great players like in the past, but they were pretty shit when Boateng was there. Hence he was rejected for the managers job.

 

[blunted]

Carsley makes the most sense, top coach, ex player, lives local, soon to be out of work.

He is going back as youth Manager so still in a job..

Well Kings an idiot and the fact we weren’t most clubs was until recently the best thing we had going for us.

Why? We kept the last one 7 years. If they are good why would we sack them after a few months

Why? Because that's what happens at so many clubs and happened to us prior to Robins.

It's not a stretch to believe that may well happen again.

You've answered your own question too. We kept the last one for 7 years.

That was a rarity, hence him being one of the longest serving managers on the game.

7 years is totally against the grain of the norm.

Clearly you ain't as anti sisu as you like to believe then

Chelsea sack managers all the time and are fine.

It can also work.

You’d love to be 10% as successful as King the idiot I’m sure …..

 

[clint van damme]

Brian Barry-Murphy would be interesting, been working at Man City U23's with Pep. Before anyone shouts "ohh what has he ever done?!" , I'm just putting it out there.. lol

The day we get a manager with a double barrelled name is the day I jack it all in.

 

[shmmeee]

Clearly you ain't as anti sisu as you like to believe then

Sisu were shit at everything off the pitch and uninvolved on it, Doug is shit at half the on pitch and half the off pitch stuff and frankly even the off pitch stuff he’s good at is mostly signing cheques.

Being successful in business doesn’t grant you super human powers in all fields.

You've lost your mind.

 

[SomersetSB]

Danny Rohl please

 

[Cally Fedora]

Crazy talk. They also spaff endless millions season after season and are currently sitting in a squad of about 200

Football is a business.

If we go on a run with new manager of 10 wins ina. Row would you still say king is an idiot for sacking robins?

Just curious

 

[clint van damme]

I fancy Graham Potter or if we can go and get someone like Bilic

More likely get Brian Potter or Bilko.

 

[covcity4life]

You've lost your mind.

How? Chopping and changing managers can still work for a club overall

I'm not saying I want to go back to that. I'm just saying if new manager doesnt last 7 years it doesn't mean the club will be in turmoil

No thanks Mildred

 

[clint van damme]

I heard Dean Smith mentioned a few weeks ago

Were you looking for a roofer?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I’d expect a coach who is going to push us to the next level. Can work in this modern day coaching set up and get the most out of an expensive squad. I’d like an ambitious move for someone like Jacob Neestrup.

 

[Otis]

It can, yes. It's usually a merry go round though because it normally doesn't.

 

[covcity4life]

Could be argued if we didn't sack so much we would have been relegated to league 1 far far earlier

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Surely a new coach will want new players in, will he have a say though, I can't work out who will be looking for targets, King, recruitment or the Head coach.

Intriguing one for me.in the betting is Robbie Keane 3rd fave

Where the fucks that come from?

What’s interesting about Keane is that at Maccabi he played a 433

Something Nagging me about that. Wouldn't put it past Ego man to feel hiring a former fans hero would soften the blow towards him but thats just me being vecisitous

 

[fatso]

Fadz might be an idea, along with a director of football for added experience.
It might at least please some of the fans.
