Too be To be honest, LM, I don't really like the fella either but he has always been pretty effective at whichever club he has managed. It's just a thought.
I'd put Dave Jones at the top of wanted list. He's got good experience at this level, and knows the division inside out. The most important thing would be to keep all our current squad of players together. A new manager normally wants to change things, but we would need someone to carry on what has been started by Pearson.
do you think adam pearson will still be around? to be honest i d be more worried if the stockport mafia get full control should adam decide that he can make more money from rugby.
I'd happily see Davies here, again, not because he's liked, but because he's the nearest we'd get to Nige I reckon.... tough nut, arsey in interviews, doesn't take any sh*t. If anything, I think we'd need similarity at this moment in time. Only others would be: Steve McLaren - local and club connections and will be given more freedom here than he did at Forest. No way we'd get Hughes or O'Neill. Or Clark, as he didn't want Leicester either. Solksjaer or Di Matteo as good young bosses. PLEASE not Dave Jones! He's a nothing man. Failed to get Cardiff going with stupid amounts of cash and with the best attack in the division last season.
The Damned United is a great book/film but is incredibly anti-Leeds (it's written by a Huddersfailed fan) and the book also paints Clough as a bit of a nutjob. Basically Clough turned up at Leeds, slagged off the players and the previous manager they had such a connection with anddiscounted any trophy they had won, failed miserably then acted surprised when he got sacked. Terrible waste of a great manager and a great team.
Am still in denial as gutted but we all know money talks,so......someone young ish who can interact with our young squad and hasnt been round the block a million times aka jones etc...id go for gus poyet or roberto di matteo.Thanks for turning our club around nigel gl spending new year jobless!.
If it comes down to Pearson leaving and City having to appoint another manager, i can't see us taking someone elses manager and having to pay compensation to them. There's quite a few decent managers without jobs going anyway.
I can't see us taking a gamble on anyone who has not managed at this level (or above) before, not after what happened with Phil Parkinson.
We did, his name was Phil Parkinson. No more untried wannabees please. Dave Jones for me. Excellent win ratio over a long period of time.
Because we will try and do it on the cheap! I do not rate Dave Jones anyway to be honest Whoever we get will be a gamble but I cannot see us risking a manager on a big contract
He valued fair play and proper football over bullying his way to success and that wasn't accepted by the Leeds players who simply couldn't understand why he would want them to play fair. I don't think that's a waste, it worked everywhere else for him, just not at the one place where cheating was forced upon him from above and below
We never cheated, we could be rough but only when the other team wanted to be rough, if they wanted to play we played. Speaking of cheating I can't think of another team that lost 2 European finals because of "dodgy" refereeing (one of them admitted it and was banned).
I think we need someone who actually wants to be in Hull. Someone who knows the club, the area, the players. Someone with contacts, top level playing experience, and management potential. I'd be more than happy with Nick Barmby, with an experienced assistant.
