Dream team. Wouldn’t be suprise to see his assistant Escobar here as well he has that Birmingham link
Just waiting for the usual suspects on twatter to complain we're "only appointing him because he's free"
Quiet excited for the close season whoever comes in will be a gamble we’ve just got to get behind the new man and see what he can do,hopefully the loud minority give them a chance
I'd appoint ten of these younger coaches before giving it to another plodder off the usual suspects merry go round.
I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be a bit disappointed if it is Still, his Reims team are a pretty dull watch and perform pretty poorly on metrics like xG etc even when doing well in the league - you could see this second half of the season drop off coming (I appreciate they lost players to the AFCON and the Asian cup and sold Matusiwa). I don't find his persona, at least in the media, appealing either - a lot of self preservation and serving of his own interests even if it’s at the expense of his employers etc. That said, if it is him then I'll be 100% behind him.
Echo every word of this. Particularly the bold bit! no matter who we get, I’ll back them to the hilt, as I did Mowbray (despite not wanting him when he joined) and Beale (as I knew nothing about him)
Whoever it is, we shouldn’t have long to wait. The club said they expect to have someone in more or less as soon as the seasons over.
Any coach coming to the championship would look at us as one of the top 6 clubs to come to. Yes we've had a **** season, the nose dive started going so wrong when Dodds took over, I'm not really blaming him, he took a job he wasn't up to without much of a choice. Hopefully because the coach we wanted wasn't available, so it did actually make sense to right the season off an get the right man. I'm sure when Beale went we would have been in contact with our next head coach so I'm not concerned that our recent form will put off any candidates we were interested in.
If someone looked at is and was put off by our current form I wouldn't want him in the first place, both Mowbray and Beale had us around the play offs. If a coach couldn't see the potential we have he's not capable of doing a job here.
