Right who's the next manager then? (3 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

I just joined the chat seen evatt mentioned , seen a few dismiss it and simply offered a reason why he might not be as bad as people make out , he plays attacking football , is young and has a very good record over a sustained period at 2 clubs

RVN is the sexy appointment, but also dangerous. Will he adapt to managing in the Championship? Will he really buy into CCFC and its ambitions? No doubt ,if he's even semi successful, he'd be off.
Lampard would be a more solid appointment. Managed in the Championship before, and would need to prove himself (at Cov) in the Premier League before others would start circling.
Carsley would fit the mould for us more, based on what King is looking for, but managing/coaching young international players for one-off games is very different than a 46 game Championship season. Would he be too nice?

Sexy and dangerous?
I'm sold!

seems a chunk of our fans have now been seduced by the glitz of a big name, irrespective of whether or not they’ve ever achieved anything that indicates they’d be a success

Look ive been banging the drum for Ian.

42 with a 50% win rate over three years is ridiculous, plays the same shape we currently do with a possession philosophy. Works with a director of football as well.

I love watching non league and loved watching his Barrow team. Understand it’s not a name and might be underwhelming for some but think he would suit us brilliantly.

Ian Evatt moved into management with Chesterfield, Barrow and Bolton after his playing career ended, and he is targeting the Premier League

[Evo1883]

He's got 2 promotions and a FL trophy already in his first 6 years of management

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

don’t give a shit where he’s from, I’d take him over Lampard, based on his record.

Ring, I’ve been pitching Ian from the start. I’m very happy with this update and would take him as my number one target.

Just got called crazy too many times that I have to celebrate people joining in

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Never thought I’d see me and Evo agreeing over a manager target

Yeah I know, I’m agreeing.

I’m beyond bored looking at all the same ‘big names’ being discussed ad nauseam, when people like this are out there and not getting a mention.

Well for me it wouldn't be a bad appointment and better than bloomfield and Keane, I just don't think doug wants that kind of profile because really it's obvious he would rather a high profile that will draw more attention to the club .

I can't say lampard will be a better manager because I'm not entirely sure he will be

 

[David O'Day]

Hardly. He’s a decent manager who’s done very well in his career so far.

He's likely to sacked by Bolton very soon.

If he wasn't from Cov people wouldn't give him the time of day

Which is wrong, look at his record.

50% win rate at Bolton a after three years and three points of the playoffs. Hardly a terrible job

 

[David O'Day]

Which is wrong, look at his record.

yeah, it's okay at small clubs but he is now failing at a team that should be much higher

Not for me

 

[skybluecam]

Maybe take a look at his record before moaning because you want a “big name”.

Calm down dear

Just pointing out it it’s not as exciting

I’d also rather not appoint someone who currently seems to be on a downward trajectory.

 

[SBT]

One important thing to consider about Evatt for me - the rumour about him getting an interview with us was something I completely made up.

cool, still a weird flex to want him

He isn't getting the job anyway

 

[fernandopartridge]

Evatt is a Cov lad and from CV2 which is worth even more actually

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It isn’t an exciting appointment and runs the risk of the average fan getting bored of watching compared to Lampard managing. I’m not against it though.

Sure but still

Wouldn't be the worst candidate by a long shot

If 3 points off the playoffs with a game in hand is failing, ok.

It’s all on Pete then now

 

[skybluecam]

Us hiring Evatt would be like a Prem team picking up Robins. That won’t be happening.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Got them promoted from league two, won them a cup, third last year in a tough league one. Again not a massive failure but fair enough

I’m taking that as a shrewd pick up

why does it mean the fans would get bored? The guy has a reputation for attacking football.

It’s ok to not have him as preferred candidate, but some of the garbage justifications- “failing”, “not exciting”, “bored”, really just shows how clueless some of our fans are.

Say to the average Coventry resident who has a mild interest in football would they rather watch Frank Lampard managed Cov or Ian Evatt managed Cov they would say Frank Lampard everytime

 

[Evo1883]

I'm surprised so many are overlooking his record tbh

Either way , it's not going to be evatt so there's little point debating it

Take a look at the respective league tables and try that again.

just own it- he’s not a big enough name for you.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

nonsense, the fans wouldn’t care who was manager if the football was right.

Dont disagree but you don’t win promotion on a name. Same issue Birmingham found last year.

Full disclosure still think Lampard would be decent

If the football was the same, Lampard would attract more from the media and the average fan

That’s a big if considering they both play quite different styles of football
