It would be crazy not to look for a new manager now with the likes of Adkins and Di Canio out there! Who will be in available at the end of the season...?? And we may not be as attractive then as we are now if we slip down the table and just become another club making up the numbers again. Now is the time while we have some credibility on the field!
Has everyone forgotten what happened under Shaw? We beat Brum, everyone said "give him the job", and now his 5 league defeats out of 5 could really cost us.
We have a good chance of making the playoffs - we owe it to ourselves to appoint someone who is actually a Manager.
Personally, I would give it him and Oggy until the end of the season now. Unless we turn this 3-0 round our season is over anyway. Then, IF they manages to get a run going and us into the playoffs, we can assess it and maybe give them a 12 month rolling contract. Otherwise it should be known to him that their OLD jobs will still be safe for them to fall back into.[/QUOTE
Oh, roll Oggy out again. Just what does he bring to the table. He is a good bagman but if he had any interest in management he hasn't exactly stuck his neck out over the last 20 years.
Not the recipe for success IMO.
de ja vous: Thorn "lets give the guy a chance" what did he do??
Carsley "lets give the guy a chance" what will he do!!
we know what works at our club now, and that is the model made by Mark Robins, its getting someone to follow in his footsteps that is the problem, what did Carsley do as soon as he got some control... messed around with the team. yes we got the result but if you went you will know Bury were a joke
Mark Robins experienced manager with good pedigree overall, what does he do? best spell in 10 years! young, experienced and knowledgable witha genuine raport with players and and fans! that is what we are looking for, not 'one of the boys' which is what Lee Carsley is if you look at baker and Clarkes comments.
there is only one guy who will fit that bill for me and thats Denis Wise, he would command respect of the players - its not a ' manager love fest, its respect these players need to show - not "love" for the manager
