Go on then I will ask, what is it you want and seen that you like in Rob Edwards? Or is it just what you’ve heard on here? Like RP, I’m hoping that the delay is down to the club negotiating for John Mourinho. He was the clubs first choice when they got Manning because he was going for promotion with Portsmouth. So I’m hoping it’s him, that’s holding things up. Will he come will take some persuading. But to me he ticks all the boxes to take this club forward. More aligned to Pearson’s type of play. https://medium.com/@sonstats/a-tact...-cowley-model-part-1-build-phase-dce53dbae606
Yep, those 14th place finishes really set us up, then he sold the “family China”. When someone else did that to balance the books they were hammered on here….. What it does show is, apart from the odd exception, when it comes to spending over £2-3m regardless of the manager, we get it wrong, so the issue is surely the recruitment team, not the managers.
Meanwhile our rivals and competitors in the Championship are appointing new managers to give them the most time to prepare for next season But that’s because they’re all run better and like a professional outfit than we are
Wow I had no idea Obviously I knew about us - and Boro (and Norwich of course) That means we’re in competition with all those clubs for out of work managers (or poach one from elsewhere like we did Manning).
A lot of teams across the leagues are looking for new managers right now and if we take too long to make our decision we could end up with a lesser being. I saw somewhere that we would announce our new guy on Tuesday next week but knowing our past I think that could be a bit of a dream scenario. The next 3 or 4 weeks will be rife with new managers and players signing on for new teams and those who dither will be left out in the cold in the remnants department. If we have a leading candidate that fits all of the requirements then we must sign them up not later than yesterday as standing around waiting for miracles to happen doesn't work, especially for us. Get him in and then discuss his needs in the player department and then go out and get them, after you get rid of Mehmeti, Fayulu, Armstrong and Twine (some of those may follow Liam) and replace them with a 25% improvement in scoring person. Anyway good luck to whoever.
Mehmeti - as frustrating as he was - was still our top scorer. If we get rid of him - and don’t replace him - then RP might be happy but we will be 14 goals down next season.
