Seems to work most of the time. It was also done in the NFL. But soccer/football? I can't immediately think of too many times it has been tried. Giggs at United allegedly. I doubt Clough ever entertained the thought of Mackay taking over from him. To be fair, it really probably can't work under the Manager model. But it could be more logical with the trend towards Head Coaches. Football just changes too often really. People need time, instant success is rare. In football though managers are sacked for failure (5th is failure as well apparently) and it's the whole coaching team that then goes. The coaching prodigy doesn't get a look in. Giggs is the project that people think of but I reckon he will not be a good manager. He was poor for the time he was the boss a few seasons back. Garry Monk has ultimately failed. John Carver failed. Cannot think of any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I very much like the sound of Laudrup. Probably want a lot of cash, which could be in bonuses for promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Michael Laudrup - Wikipedia Latest job was Lekhwiya[edit] Laudrup in Qatar in 2015 On 30 June 2014, Laudrup became the new manager of Qatar Stars League champions Lekhwiya after signing a one-year deal.[54] He guided the Lekhwiya to a club-record Qatar Stars League and a Crown Prince Cup double in his first season. The club also qualified for the quarter finals of the 2015 AFC Champions League during his reign. On 17 June 2015, Laudrup announced that he would not extend his contract, departing the club. Must be loaded but may fancy a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be loaded but may fancy a challenge He seems a perfect fit, meets the requirements, while bringing no ego, that said I'll give Wassall a chance first, could be as good as anyone else, we'll never know till we give him a go.

DCFCArmy Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Whoever it is I'm sure they'll get a good welcome, well, at least until the 10th minute of his first game, if we're not 3-0 up by then having played swashbuckling football then he'd get the hair dryer treatment lol.

irobinson Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 he should backtrack (MM) and appoint Moyes before - he gets snapped up - least then we could have a guy to be able to preserve a fighting change of play-offs and then build for next season - if this season has gone Wassall has no experience and is a kids coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie George Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Moyes was 6/1 earlier this week and is now 2/1 favourite. Was there yesterday aswell as three previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I see Eranio.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Out of the list I'd put Pearson Rodgers and Moyes in that order. If not Pearson then it seems Moyes is the fans pick, a lot don't like Pearson because of his "antics" last season which is fair enough, I think the antics were pre planned though and I think he'd be perfect for us, but Moyes seems to be the majority's number 1 choice and I'm happy with him if we get him, the fans need to get behind whoever gets it though.

Charlie George Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Didn't Pearson say on EMT that there's one job in the Midlands he'd love to take on ? I always had him down as a Red Dog but he's a Notts County man apparently as his grandfather played for them. Obviously knows how big the Derby job is so perhaps this is a job he wants. Coming round to him now, , he'd take no rubbish from the players and they'd be no interference from above as he wouldn't have it and his record at Leicester mightily impressive.

eccles the ram Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think Stimac would be a good shout. He would take the position by the scruff of the neck. If not Pearson would be my second choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
