That doesn't mean they aren't good coaches, some just wanting to get rid of them because we had a poor run when they were in charge. Put them back to where they were before
I'd be ****ing baffled if we ever appointed Robins as HC. What makes him the best candidate? Poyet as DOF too? What makes you think that would be a good move? Zero track record in that role...his signings at Sunderland were not the best, his persona doesn't seem to sit at all well with the role.
So we could go with Maric as head Coach, Poyet and Strubber as technical and sporting director? That's not bad looking at all
Mark Robins would be a brilliant appointment. Consistently overachieved at Coventry. No way he’d come here tho as he’s loved there
Eric was gagging to come here when TM was sacked but Beal was the one who they said was the best option out there.
Robins didn't really pull up any trees until his second stint at Cov though. Which kind of shows that appointing managers who haven't done that well elsewhere isn't necessarily a daft idea. At Coventry, this time, he's been given time and patience. All of which suggests to me that the conditions a coach is given to work under play a huge part in how successful he is. Robins wouldn't necessarily have those same conditions here and would be starting from scratch. His success wouldn't necessarily immediately translate. Ideally, what we want is someone who is happy to work with things the way they are currently at SAFC, and to give that coach time to mould things to suit themselves.
Don't think poyet or strubber have ever done those roles before. We need someone in the DoF role that's done it before or at lesst been heavily involved in the scouting n recruitment depts
I feel that KLD understands how massive this summer is for us. I really do think he’s learned and means business. An exciting appointment instead of the manager merry-go-round, change in recruitment strategy and bringing in a new DoF will show he means business imo I wish speakman nothing but the best if he is going I just feel like this is the perfect time for a change and Speakman’s decision making is inexcusable for this season. I think it makes sense for both of us to move on
Totally agree, if it’s Maric as many are saying then he gets my support but Eric knows the club and he has experience and what the club is all about. Opportunity missed I think
