Can't see him being at the club still unless he wants to go for the hat-trick of failures after being with Dowie and Nicky.
Surely he will still until a new manager is appointed and then the new manager will decide if he wants him or not - But I did think we were trying to get away from a manager who has his own backroom team, so we dont end up without anybody if a manager was to leave in the future like we were when Pearson left Didnt he turn down a coaching role for the Olympic team to concentrate on us over the summer
Although Nick brought him in, I thought we were building a backroom staff that wasn't just loyal to one manager but the whole club? If that changes already then that's one short lived experiment!
Will that depend on whoever the manager is. If it is Lee Clark then will he want to bring his team with him. I can see this costing the Allam's a whole lot more then they bargained for.
If you look back at what was said by the club when NP left... we will no longer allow a manager to come in with his own team, like nigel did, because when they leave they take their scouts, assistants, coaches etc with them. instead we will have staff from the local area or that have history with the city that are employed by the club and not attached to the manager. not sure if that was the allams idea or AP's...
It was Adam that said that, but whatever the club would like to do, there aren't many decent managers that want to come without their backroom staff.
right royal mess.. it's true Steve Wigley has committed himself to HCAFC instead of working with the Olympic team, then he finds his position is unstable all of a sudden. you know what happens when you rock the boat too much?
I got told wigleys in the running to take over as manager... And that really wouldn't surprise me one bit either.
Wigley has only been a permanent manager at one league club, but that was enough to get him to 17th on the 20 worst performing managers in Premier League history. ****ing ridiculous idea.
If he was leaving, he'd hardly have turned down the Pearce offer to be his No.2 at the Olympics to take care of our pre-season preparations.
It would have been a good idea if we'd have kept our manager and brought future managers up through the ranks. But we didn't.
Agree with this completely...Wigley will be surely talking to other clubs by now. Even if the owners wanted him to stay, I'm not sure after all the shenanigans he's witnessed the last few weeks that he would want to stay anyway.
He'll probably wait to meet the new manager before making up his mind. He must have really believed in our squad not just Barmby to turn down the Olympic job. For all we know he might be best mates with the next guy.
For all we know as a senior member of the set up he knows more about what's gone on than the rest of us, knew Barmby was likely to go for footballing reasons (with a disciplinary just being a convenient way of avoiding compo) and decided to stay to keep things ticking over because he's not actually opposed to the change.
He seems a nice enough bloke, but he's a bit wet, I'd be gutted if we put him in charge(and we'd be looking for a new manager by January).
I hope he's not given the manager's job, just think that until someone is appointed he'd view his job of maintaining some sort of routine or contact point for the players who aren't away on holiday (ie the injured ones) and the stability of that as more important than taking a job that will last for 4 weeks and then be done with. At least if he was considering staying here under a new manager.
