Building the derby brand ,marketing rams tv ,all the stuff mel is trying to build AND there’s every chance he could turn out to be very good at the job ,,, in our current situation he is THE standout candidate ,,,, mel if you have half the sense I believe you have ,go get franky boy NOW, in fact how smart would it be if mel saw the poss of lampard and was happy to engineer this whole rowett to stoke for 1.8 mill all along ,, Frank as boss and the new D.O.F... ? roll please....

He’s also said in the past that he sees England as a place he would like to undertake a challenge. Cruyff as DoF and somelike Stam as coach could be an exciting prospect and I imagine the football would be pretty attractive too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbossity Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Maybe Gareth Ainsworth? He hasn't been in the Championship yet and he rejected a offer from Barnsley in February but I think he isn't a bad shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regardless someone similar in style would work, maybe frank de boer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Can anyone point me in the direction of any evidence that Stimac would be suitable for the job beyond the fact he was a great player for us? Because I can't find any. No room for sentiment. We have to get this right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Holloway could be the unpopular, seen it done it modern day equivalent of TBE. Alex Neil maybe. And Warburton. I heard Stam was close to being named Swansea manager - and hasn't Holloway announced that he's taking time out from football? (something to do with his wife (?) being ill......)

bristolram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Alex Neil from Preston for me, he's done a great job at Preston so far on a small budget. Also got Norwich promoted, clearly young and ambitious, If Preston can afford then I imagine we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Lampard comes from a coaching/managerial background. A winner. Well known for training hard and never getting injured. Intelligent bloke. Could attract players. Total gamble but one that would excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 We need Harry Redknapp about as much as I need to lose both my legs to a landmine. He would be an absolute disaster for a club in our position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redknapp would at least offer an experienced voice for him, plus they're related in some capacity (I think). I'm personally not entirely sure why Lampard would be a good choice for manager anyway?

This isn't really a job where you start your managerial career. To be honest you would get Harry anyway, just without a contract, advice over a Sunday roast at the family dinner table. Lampard would be a complete and utter wildcard, given the names being thrown around I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea, having been interviewed at Ipswich shows he would be willing to work under tight finances in the Championship. His name would command respect in the dressing room, open doors for young loans, no pre conceived ideas of how his teams play. This season is one of scaling back, introducing youth, had it of been we are going for it next year, it’s open chequebook season you would want someone experienced, been there, got the t shirt. As I say, total wildcard, you know you shouldn’t but what if.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The next appointment needs to be genuinely long term. I don’t really care who he is, most of the candidates are much of a muchness and every one is a risk, but they have to be given the time to lay the foundations for a long term plan, not only by Mel but also by the fans and the players. They need to be given total support in any decision they make, if that’s making a £30k a week player train on their own, so be it. If we finish bottom half but there is long term visions being put in place, that needs to be acceptable. I think if Mel trusts his man, he wouldn’t mind that, it’s the fans I’m worried about. I said it a while ago I think, but I genuinely think I’d have taken Forest’s 16/17 season over ours, maybe without the needing to win on the last day for survival bit. A team essentially made up of youth players with a plan long term. It would’ve been more exciting and it’s something to get behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
