Right who's the next manager then? (8 Viewers)

I’m not sharing any details but from what I’ve heard about how he acts, we absolutely do not want him here at all

I know you said you weren't going to share any details...but can you share the details!?

I’ve assumed the worst and let me just say, he shouldn’t be doing that without washing his hands first, it’s awful.

Don't knock it till you've tried it, fella!

Just don’t want to say anything specific as don’t want anyone in trouble but he’s just a c*nt backstage

I wanna get good value out of my CCFC calendar.

Don't stand too close to it.

I’ve read he’s a bit of prick- I rate him but if that’s true, he’s got limited potential as a manager

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

There's an unsurprising correlation between those that:

-Wanted Robins sacked
-Want a 'famous name'
-Dismiss unattractive sounding realistic options
-Call people 'embarrasing' or 'overreacting' when it's pointed out that sacking Robins and bringing in a famous name looks like a clown move that's potentially going to backfire badly

I for one hope we have a random candidate out of nowhere that no one is expecting. I haven't heard a single name that sounds inspiring so far.

Captain hindsight will decide who was right, and no doubt they will laud it over the entire forum whilst ignoring the fact none of us have a clue and chat waffle 24/7.

There isn't. It's a Head Coach

Waiting for you to tell me how Skubala has more experience than RVN

Can’t be arsed. I think he has, you don’t. That’s about it isn’t it?

 

[RobinsSkyBlues]

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

Robins got 2 promotions, tin pot trophy winner and a toenail away from the FA cup final with us in 7 years after taking over a club in total turmoil. And only 1 of them seasons didn't see us finish higher than the season before. And he isn't seen as good enough.

 

[RobinsSkyBlues]

He looks to be suffering this season with cheap goals being conceded, which naturally if you are trying to implement an almost ‘tiki taka’ style in L1 will be used as a stick to beat him with.

Their XG Against is 14.9 and they’ve conceded 24 goals. It’s a bit of misfortune. Wouldn’t be my pick but he’s not exactly hopeless.

Sounds like Robins record this season.

 

[StrettoBoy]

You can see the merits of one manager without needing to put another manager down surerly

That’s an excellent point

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Robins got 2 promotions, tin pot trophy winner and a toenail away from the FA cup final with us in 7 years after taking over a club in total turmoil. And only 1 of them seasons didn't see us finish higher than the season before. And he isn't seen as good enough.

So what you’re saying is I want to replace robins, with a younger Robins?

Thought you’d be up for that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Can’t be arsed because you know it’ll show you up

Why would we appoint lampard whose achieved nothing in management if your logic was applied

interesting that we are talking about either big names with limited to no experience of managing in and / or getting out of the Championship (other than, tenuously, Lampard), OR lower league managers unproven at this level, but there’s little to no mention of anybody who has any real recent record of managing in our league and getting teams out of it…..

Not many of them available as far as I can tell bar maybe Rob Edwards who desperately needs a break.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

well, although all currently employed, Steve Cooper, Russell Martin, Rob Edwards, Scott Parker as examples

I believe at least two may have been interested

All of them and I don’t mean to sound mean are currently employed at either parachute payment clubs or premier league clubs.

Apart from Rob Edward (who I’m not 100% about), don’t think a single one would leave there current job to join USA they’ll be on higher wages for one and in regard to the prem ones at the top division where they have the spotlight.

Just couldn’t see which is why I think a lot of focus is based on big name managers who are thought to have potential and drawing power or unproven coaches who again have potential and will be hungry for the chance to manage us.

Has Ian Evatt paid you to push him for manager

It’s funny the manager that eventually got Robins sacked (Warne) is now the longest serving in the Championship.
Not exactly pretty football but he is keeping them collecting points when they were nailed on favourites to go back down and have no money to spend.
It’s almost as if Derby have learned their lesson from us after vanity appointments like McLaren, Cocu, Lampard and Rooney.
Just hope we are not going in that direction. Maybe Evatt , the unglamorous appointment is just what we need.

Well if they’re employed that’s probably a good reason why they’re not being mentioned! Also, do they have a record of being good at this level, or have they just been good with a club.
Rob Edwards @ Luton, a great season with a team he inherited, which is now struggling, but didn’t work at Watford.
Russell Martin didn’t reach the play offs with Swansea for 2 seasons, did well with Southampton but they have a good team.

For me, a record would be with a couple of clubs across a number of seasons

So you understand my logic. Thanks.

I'm not against getting Lampard. Looking at the list I see him as about the best out of them. But is he the right one to take us forward?

Whoever gets the role will have my backing. But I'm not expecting miracles. Some people will be.

all fair points, and my point really is more that either way we are going for untried and untested at this level unless we bring in a ‘coach’ who has knowledge, experience and success at this level

lower level might work, but how often have you seen someone piss league one then struggle to adapt to this league, and a big name could be a success but, again, how often have you seen them fail…

lower level might mean more drive to prove themselves and succeed, big name might mean more draw for better transfer targets and players engaging more in training, who knows

it’s a gamble either way

Waiting for you to tell me how Skubala has more experience than RVN

Looking forward to all these little individual arguments playing out in the coming weeks. So many subplots in here right now, i'm fucking living for it.

 

[CoventryUSA]

Would this guy even be on our radar?
How would Austin/King/Roberts be aware of him!? (How are you even aware of him!?)

I'm late to respond to this. But I know him because I'm an American who watches more MLS than any other league. Also, I'm within the MLS media sphere.

As mentioned by the other, I am not sure how King is conducting the search. But if he is using any sort of analytics-based firm, then Nancy's name absolutely would pop up as a top candidate.
