But one with that as the only major blotch on his CV. stepped in as Newcastle caretaker and left with the respect of most geordies who by then saw Ashley as the problem, but he stabilised them - he had their support during a period of decline, much like Adkins for us. Got another PL job and kept Naarch in the PL for a change. Laid the groundwork for Potter at Brighton by stabilising them in the PL. Could do a lot worse. Bruce and Brownie had blemishes on their CV's also, as have any manager who's been around long enough to ever be anyone.
Probably, sacked at all. I heard him being interviewed on Radio Nottingham when he was at Forest and hadn't won a game. He sounded as if he was away with the fairies.
95% of mangers we've ever appointed have been sacked previousy. 100% have been by the time they've left.
So Acun now needs time, Andy Dawson be manager next week. Translation, no one of note will work for Acun. Maybe?
I was more convinced it wouldn’t be a Turkish manager, also the name Baz heard had championship experience
This might be bollox - heard a whisper last night that Dyche turned us down as he's waiting for the Lesta job. We moved on to Parker but initially he didn't want to come this far north but has since had a change of heart. Gonna put a couple of quid on him in case it's true. Cardigan time, boys and girls?
I'd take Hughton - did a great job and Brighton and at Newcastle. Only Florist didn't buy into his ideas
I reckon it will be someone in the Billic mould, ie someone who's worked in England before but also probably in the PL too. Someone like Wagner wouldn't surprise me But as we've got the resources to pull someone out of a job that's a little bit new for us.
He'd have been fantastic, 2 promotions with Norwich and a really good win percentage as a manager everywhere he's been. I doubt we'd be able to get him to leave his current club for us though. 6th in the Bundesliga just a few points off Bayern & Dortmund.
I wouldn't but I reckon we'll go more high profile. I don't think a manager counts toward FFP either, does it? If that's the case I think we could end up with someone on huge money.
