Rampage Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Gary Rowett has his very own style of football management and man management. He has his own ideas on which style of football that he likes his team to play. Which manager do you think influenced him the most as a player? Which other serving managers appear to be most similar to him in the way that he managers? There is plenty of room for speculation here but I thought that this thread may provoke a few interesting insights on these questions. Please feel free to give your pearls of wisdom here.

RamNut Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 John beck seems to be his biggest influence. Even according to Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Can see influences of Jim Smith's "team ethic". Didn't Rowett quote that he appreciated Klopps pressing style at Dortmund too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with a modest clenched fist pump or a tip of the hat Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck teams were awful to watch - much worse than anything produced by Pulis. From what we've seen so far under Rowett, there's very little of the Beck system as I remember it.

Worked for a while but dire to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His approach was based on loads of stats analysing how goals are scored. He used his stats to develop his "direct" football approach. Eg 3 touches maximum from back to front. Became regarded as the founding father of long ball tactics and influential over a generation of English coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddlestone and George best two long passers of the ball for awhile at the Rams. Nothing wrong with a killer 40 metre pass that puts Vydra on goal. Why beat three men when you can accurately pass a ball anywhere on the pitch, short or long and bypass those three opponents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why beat three men when you can accurately pass a ball anywhere on the pitch, short or long and bypass those three opponents? Spot on- nothing wrong at all with a considered long pass. The Charles Hughes methods however, led to nothing but long channel balls and punts designed to get the ball in the box within 3-5 seconds. No variety. Very kick and rush.

That’s all well and good but the three touches in question are goal-kick, flick-on, goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
