What has he done in football to get in such a position at SAFC...probably end up doing a Mark Bowen and appoint himself. Whilst I don't think Parkinson is as bad as some make out I think we need a strong character and a bit of arrogance which is where Pearson comes in for me.
James Hunter article in the chronic. Not confirmed but I think this is what people are referring to. Hopefully he is wrong. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...erland-17084124.amp?__twitter_impression=true
Careful what you wish for, Reading's Sporting Director, Mark Bowen, has today been appointed as the clubs new manager.
The bookies. He was in the frame for the job at Reading but they've just announced their new manager (Mark Bowen)
I have a serious concern about Donald's current behaviour tbh. We need a manager ASAP and Donald is supposed to be in charge. If he is then why hasn't he acted decisively when the club looks adrift? If he is still calling the shots then I'm concerned that he'll go against Pearson/SKP and opt for someone more controlable/less high profile. Does he want the limelight and a say in team affairs that Pearson/SKP would never allow?
I would think that if Hill and Coton are interviewing they are hardly going to recommend a manager who may want his own recruitment team. Pearson may want that.
I think someone has spread Sarin across the road. People are going off it about an appointment that hasn't been made. Or have I missed something?
Are we really adrift though smug? Ipswich have a decent lead on us granted, 2nd place we are well in the hunt for ( we can easily catch ipswich but thats the only adrift i can see. I agree about donald. I think the pressure of this takeover is talking its toll on him. Not the takeover itself, but the pressure from fans and the press that goes with it. I dont agree with some, out to hunt him down at the minute for some reason, but the fact he has had to sack his choice of manager during this time, has really weakened his stance. The thought of a takeover and manager change at the same time, will satisfy me most. I like donald, but he cant screw this deal up
I've worried for a while about the state of footballing heirarcy behind the scenes Not only does he need to take a step back himself but He needs to get shot of his mates and cronies and bring in some proper football people.
Tbh the contenders for the job, don't exactly inspire. All of them come with risk and all except SKP come with failures in their history. For that reason I'd take the risk in appointing SKP. It's not ideal to be taking a risk, but imo all the candidates come with risk, and some of the names linked I'd of never thought would ever manage our club.
We're not that adrift. A good run and we're right back in it. A good run depends on the ambitions of the owners.
