If he's successful in the first few weeks, let's run a poll on which Prem club comes in for him, Good luck anyway, Neil. Hope you get some cash in Jan and spend it wisely
Interesting few weeks ahead. Sounds more comfortable on the training pitch than in front of the camera, but as you say sounds like a humble guy. Lots to do - good luck NC - crack on lad!!
Good luck You're going to need it When Ibiza come in for him I'm still available Maybe I was just too cheap and should have asked for more for my backroom team of diddles and wherever
There's only sixteen world coaches who have obtained the FIFA elite coaching badge ... Neil Critchley is one of them, I wish him well!
This may seem ridiculously critical (thinking of slapping myself round the head with a wet fish) but could he be too nice? I imagine in order to be a football manager, there needs to be an internal Rottweiler that can emerge as required from time to time? He seems more Labrador than Rottweiler. Yuck, wet fish unpleasant!
A distinct overtone of being underwhelmed on the thread … not sure why. Young manager who has come through the ranks. Has developed youth players to good first team regulars. Comes to us with experience as a number one already. If you listen to reports he isn’t afraid to work formations that suit what he has. Just wonder whether it’s the World Cup mixed with our poor form that has everyone on a bit of a downer. Hopefully he is given the opportunity to get settled in and the team working to his ‘principles’. We have a decent squad that probably needs lifting back up, after the snake ran off, and bring back that team spirit we had earlier in the season. Cheer up lads. It’s nearly Christmas
It’s all positive folks. We got a new manager for Xmas! New attitude. New ideas. New confidence. New opportunities for playing group. New hope for fans. New year about to greet us.
Just as a comparison, we’ve had as many managers as we have had monarchs this season and only 1 less than the government has had Prime Minister’s, when will the uncertainty end I ask
Clive may annoy some of you a lot sometimes, but he's done his research on Critchley....good article https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/footb...ost-made-critchley-the-obvious-choice--column
When Sven Goran Eriksson gave a team talk at half-time in the 2002 World Cup game against Brazil, the players found it less than inspiring. Gareth Southgate is quoted as saying later, 'We needed Churchill but we got Iain Duncan Smith'.
