Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 3 minutes ago, nottingram said: 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.

Not as long as Gary but longer than Nigel P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A season of seeing plenty of youth development of players I’d have an affinity to, playing exciting football for the most part, over a mid table season with 3 managers and some frankly horrible football played by each of them? Nope, not a wind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcumbrianram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 i think its exactly the place to come, good fan base, established. I like the idea of a lampard, butt, scholes, scott parker or a young manager from division 1 or 2. 25 minutes ago, Ambitious said: The only way I would accept Lampard is if 'Arry came with him.

Cruyff as DoF and somelike Stam as coach could be an exciting prospect and I imagine the football would be pretty attractive too Don't think Reading Fans would agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 It’s a difficult choice between who I want and who we might need? We all want fast free flowing football that is successful but harder to get and what manager we can get to provide that or do we need a steady hand to see us through next season in the championship with a lot of the players we are stuck with. smith at Brentford - play good football alex Neil at Preston - he has a record of galvanising squads and could be diamond in the pack for us mick McCarthy - solid and dependable to get results and might turn a few careers around but obviously a short term appointment as mr Warnock will be at Cardiff what do we actually need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 At least if we appoint McCarthy we can receive the hashtag #vivalashithouse Which is something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got Norwich promoted, clearly young and ambitious, If Preston can afford then I imagine we can. But he’s Scottish. Do we really want that annoying BD-esque patter? important factors, such as this, are key parts of the sel futon process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Arsene Titman said: Fun??? It would be complete and utter disaster. Why don’t you read about his managerial record and his dodgy activities. I didn't say it would be a good idea. But many people on here seem to think that this season was the worst ever and the club is in a shocking state and ran terribley. Give them some fun you spoilsport!

Strider Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 How about - Chris Wilder at Sheff Utd. Done a great job at every club, can instill confidence in players like Leon Clarke who were previously considered average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Haven't had time to read all the posts but has anyone mentioned Chris Coleman. Think he has a good background and the experience at Sunderland will have hardened him up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Lampards an interesting shout. Younger than some of our players too!! Probably more mobile at least in CM. player manager right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edtheram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If we employ Igor it will be a cotton wool over the eyes job. Mel would only employ him to make the fans happy, He has not proven that he can manage a team in England's top leagues let alone a club like Derby. Our best bet is to approach Paul cook or Paul Simpson, Get someone in with recent success. I think Simpson would be Mel's first choice as he has links to loads of youngsters and is an ex ram......

Do we really want that annoying BD-esque patter? important factors, such as this, are key parts of the sel futon process. These things are massively important. Gary's voice became more and more gravelly as the season wore on. If you're going to have a voice like Sean Dyche then you really need to be producing results like Sean Dyche. Otherwise you're just irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much hope we don't go for Stimac - His track record is dreadful - And his Croatia team were best known for an inability to score goals - Rowett may play 'effective' football which I don't like but at least we still scored goals Plus I love him too much - Have gone a little sour on Rowett now despite him being one of my favourite players in the past - Don't want to have that feeling for Igor too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
