Clubs, fans and owners in particular are getting fed up of the manager merry go round. The same managers being appointed, sacked, replaced, move to another club. Repeat. All the while rinsing clubs for severance pay.
Just seen a post on Twitter calling all of our coaches ‘inbred’ because Maric knows Bellingham from dortmund
I'll qualify this saying 1, I know nowt, and 2, I think circumstances are important. For me, we need a coach with experience of playing football, as a professional, and then in addition having experience of management. So that's a football person. People like this fella have a big future in the game, and modern set ups. Modern management is this ilk. I just think thr nature of our team, age profile, experience lends better to 'football person'. 2 years on, once the team has experience and the long term play is in motion, those type of coach could be perfect. Caveat, I know bugger all
Mowbray. Think heckingbottom would be good. Robins would be amazing. Few former players I like as well but as they played for England, I'd rather not have abuse on a Sunday morning
I think a few would say the same about yourself, not me personally but RTG is a cesspit at times. All I'll say is, I talked to him a lot and I know yous don't get along but he has gotten a lot right in the last 12 months.
Fans react weekly owners and DOF have to have a loger term vision. Hopefully ours is good. I know Bob likes people he knows as it keeps him connected but the truth is the owners need to find what is best for SAFC. Not a dig by the way just an observation that we all like what we know and change is hard, and I hope our new head coach sweeps clean and gives us a new fresh approach.
Know **** all about Maric to be honest. Just read that he's been quite nomadic up until now but he's been in his 20s up until now so that can't really be held against him. Honestly not too sure. Read a couple of articles about him but they felt like puff pieces. Journalists clearly enamoured by him but they didn't really explain why beyond hype. Open mind if a little underwhelmed maybe.
If its Maric I'll get excited. But part of me was hoping for someone a bit more rugged. Someone who will agitate fans slightly but someone we'd get behind and understand, someone who gets it. Not saying the kid won't but.
You are not alone in that, at u21 level we had Colback, Henderson and Meyler, as a midfield trio and Colback was the outstanding one of the three, he was treated unfairly here imo. playing most of his games at first team level out of position , and never let us down, yet was always the one to make way. He left under a cloud of course he did , but he has done OK out of football and I wish him well. He had a good game this week playing for QPR, more than I can say for a few playing for us yesterday.
Isn't KLD mates with Struber who was part of the Red Bull set up? Maybe he's bringing him in as the experienced DOF to compliment Maric as the young dynamic head coach?
