I'm confident he's going to everything in his power to have a manager in place next season who doesn't want to hit the reset button, so my fears are put to bed. Glad I can turn it off though. I almost choked on my sandwich when the advert for "talksportsingles.com" came on. I presume "talksportsingles " shares its database with other services.

Kinder Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I caught the last half hour or so and I think Mel will have made a lot of friends from that appearance. Articulate, dignified and very knowledgeable indeed. Very good PR for himself and the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are good coaches but can’t make the transition to managers, for me DW is one of them, if he was held in such high regard and he had the believe in himself he would have gone and applied for managers jobs elsewhere. What happens if we lose a few games at the start of the season with him in charge, do we then look for another advisor to guide him along the process. Results pre- and post- Redknapp were largely similar. Maybe we were able to convert losses into draws slightly better after Redknapp came in. However there is absolutely no way you can reasonably conclude anything positive or negative about the effect Redknapp had. Maybe improved results were down to Wassall learning on the job?

Anon Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Imagine a rookie manager playing decent football and then losing out in the play offs due to tactical naivety. It's funny how two people can achieve pretty much exactly the same thing and be viewed so differently by some people. A bit of over exuberant fist pumping after beating Brentford = "So embarrassing! Cringeworthy" A win against relegation threatened Rotherham = "Start the bounce Frank!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon his previous stint, his inability to manage a team and divide fans to a level I have never experienced in my 40 years watching the rams. The fact the chairman brought in a manager to oversee his work, his selection of GT in the Ipswich game, his post and pre match interviews which never came across as anything but tedious boring and uninspiring, and his inability to manage a group of individuals which was embarrassing at the end of the Rotherham game, not the result as these things can happened but what followed after. im sure you counter against all of these, however as I said my opinion he isn’t the right material to take us forward, I think we need a leader, someone who will inspire the fans, someone who can manage personalities, for me he doesn’t fit the criteria.

GenBr Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 18 minutes ago, SaintRam said: Bringing on two out of form players to get some minutes less than 10 minutes before the end of a game that you're winning 3-0 (against a weaker team) is not odd. It happens all the time. 99.9% of the time it's considered good management, because the team doesn't somehow throw away the win. He got unlucky. The Hull first leg was a shitshow though, I agree - but its the only moment of his brief tenure I consider a mistake. He did very well to right a ship that was flailing before he came in. Do you remember that time when he decided not to play a striker in the playoff final? Or that time when he kept starting a 50 year old striker with two prosthetic legs instead? Or that time he lost to Rotherham? Or was that someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can, was that down the influence of having to bring someone in ? As you say who knows, but given we had to in the first place showed he wasn’t manger material, how often do you see a manager employed and then having to bring in someone to work with them so soon after.

Every manager has had some shockers. I think it’s just fans expectations as always. Think Mel alluded to this in his interview for me. We lost that game because Marcus Olsson couldn't head a football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how two people can achieve pretty much exactly the same thing and be viewed so differently by some people. A bit of over exuberant fist pumping after beating Brentford = "So embarrassing! Cringeworthy" A win against relegation threatened Rotherham = "Start the bounce Frank!" This is so true. Frank is being held to a completely different standard to our previous managers. As I mentioned before, Frank is deserting the club post-Wembley and we are left to piece things back together less than a week before pre-season and the way some of our fans have reacted suggests they want to line the streets and give him a guard of honour for ‘what he did for the club’. To be honest, I think appointing Wassall would be quite sensible and logical in the circumstances. We are five and a half weeks from kick off. Pre season starts on Monday. We need someone to come in and hit the ground running, rather than someone new to the club who could take weeks or months to bed in. Wassall is a club man, he knows the club inside out, he knows which Academy players are ready to step up, he knows Mel and what makes him tick and what he expects so the style of play will be easier to replicate, he knows the first team squad and will have a good relationship with the players, and crucially he won’t kick up a fuss if funds are tight and he has work with the squad he inherits. The truth is that no-one wants Wassall because he is not a ‘sexy’ appointment. If his name was Wassallinho, we’d be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he hasn’t got the right attributes to be a manager, only my opinion of course. Or maybe you haven’t got the right attributes to judge who will make a good manager? Darren Wassall has been director of the whole academy for some time now, so less of a coach and more of a 'manager'. The performance of the academy in this time has been nothing short of brilliant, especially given that we are competing with PL club academies with far more money than us. Watching the academy teams is an absolute pleasure in terms of style of football too. We are openly stating that we want to be making more use of those academy players in future seasons. All good reasons for at least considering Wassall for the job. If we sign some unknown name from Germany or somewhere else abroad some fans will love it, but people like Wassall or Moore ( whose team actually finished above us last season, despite losing to us twice) are considered boring. I am not particularly a champion for Wassall but I do dislike it when people are so negative about him. @Jourdan I think we were writing our posts at the same time. I agree!
