Weird appointment in my opinion. Zero managerial experience.. May as well have appointed Slade .

Not the sort of appointment to make if you want to push for promotion again. Thought they'd have gone for an old head or follow the trend for foreign managers.

Could be inspirational or a complete failure like Gary Neville.
Odds on the latter.
Same with Gerard at Rangers.

Depends if his contacts are good so that he can get good loans in when he needs a leg-up.

What's happened to the Rams board? It's like a ghost town, we always had great banter with them over the Bodde interest under Paul Jewel, that's some time ago!!.......

Never sure why great players are expected to be great managers. I remember Bobby
Charlton failing big time at Preston. Mark Lawrenson at Oxford etc. As was mentioned good contacts might help, but money talks in the big league not contacts! Grealish available at 40 million an example!


Fugging stupid money pal!How can we compete with that?

ACL injury retired him, and cut his career short, best midfielder I ever saw in a Swans shirt.............

Was that the injury he picked up against that Birmingham player?

 

[DragonPhilljack]

Yes! And I was in the lower tier west stand right by where it happened, never forget that day, he was covering for defenders!..............

Shame to see good players (even a Jack ) lose their career so early. He had a bright future.
