What evidence do you have to say that Barmby wouldn't do better than the names bandied about? It's about opinions and mine is Ehab Allam or whoever Barmby upset has made a blunder getting rid that is going to set us back. I'd love to be proven wrong.
Parapet. Head above. I'd be happy to have Megson and surprised he hasn't been mentioned. I know that won't be popular.
I have evidence that the other two managers have proven track records at doing well in this division. What evidence do you have? You seem like a nice bloke but you let emotions ruin your decisions and don't think logically about who our next manager should be. Nick has gone, whether you agree or disagree with that decision, i personally disagree also, but what can we do to change that? Nothing.
Wow. @City1904, I'd suggest people's frustrations aren't just about the loss of Barmby but about the truly appalling list of available replacements. Davies would be good but I don't see it happening and McCarthy whilst he has a decent record, is a bit of a **** and I can't see him wanting to come here. The other names mentioned are uninspiring to say the least. I don't know a lot about Abbott especially compared to you but the others all have significant downsides and some have no upside! (e.g. Megson, Blackwell)
We can't do anything to change it true, doesn't make it right though. Looking at the post above yours god help us all if Megson comes (reply city1904)
I've always thought that Glenn Hoddle has been incredibly unlucky not to get back into management. His spell with England was the last time I remember really enjoying watching England and before that he was pretty successful as a club manager. I think someone somewhere in another thread mentioned his name but I've not seen it anywhere else. He would fit us perfectly I'd have thought: passing football, record of developing young players and a high profile that would get fans feeling positive again. Thoughts?
Think Hoddle might be too tied up with his business interests these days, he did a great job with Swindon initially though he did get a bit of Brownie bonkers head going when he was England boss, all that about the faith healer Drewery or whatever her name was?! Good football principles though.
That one's just thrown in by me, I was about to start a campaign to get Sean O'Driscoll appointed, then he went and took the Crawley job, so Robbins is my plan B.
They do tend to harbour the envy of a small club that's been living in our shadow since living memory.
Any manager been spotted looking at houses, in local eateries etc. As that shortlist would probably be very interesting
The dreaded " we will take our time" line has been uttered. This generally means that all the decent manager have said no e.g McCarthy, Davies etc (probably due to being asked to work on a tight/no budget) and they are rooting around at the bottom of the barrel. Expect Blackwell/Dowie/Megson or someone of equal dubious quality to be in charge.
I think the manager has been decided, probably even appointed, we're just waiting for Nick's appeal before announcing it. And I still think it's Clark(guess, not information).
