RIMBAUD Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I know were are bottom but I think the appointment of the next manager has to be made almost ignoring that. Get the right person who will get the most from our players and play in the right manner and the rest will take care of itself. i wouldn’t appoint a manager to stave of relegation. If we we able to appoint some one of the calibrate of Benitez then get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big risk getting him now with limited ability to bring players in. Its risky, but would be better to have someone keep us up until the end of the season and hope Rafa gets sacked by the Chinese club, or negotiate a cheaper settlement for the end of the season. Still cant see us getting someone of the calibre of Rafa, but one can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Eddie Howe the “likeliest name”, according to James Nursey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Might be naive and/or in denial, but I really can’t accept that we are in a relegation dogfight this season. We have got some good players compared with many a season, and it doesn’t need some Dinosaur to come in and roar at the players, and get us in a formation to grind out hard won one goal wins. The guys need a bit of a lift, and a little more freedom to express themselves. They also need to be more direct at times getting the ball forward - mix it up a little. I like good passing football teams, but we just need a bit more energy getting the ball forward and keeping it in the oppositions half. (Obviously a decent centre forward would help the cause too, but let’s get Whittaker, Stretton and Duncan buzzing around the forward line).

When you look at some of the other names floating about, I'd personally take Eddie Howe in a heartbeat. Bloke has an unbelievable work ethic and his attention to detail and standard of coaching looks amazing. His success with Bournemouth speaks for itself. Wasn't too long ago that he was being linked with jobs like Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham and England! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we don't necessarily need a 'get it gone' type manager however I also think you are naive or have a wishful thinking mentality if you think we are not in a relegation battle, the sooner you come to accept the reality of the situation the more easy it will be to take when it eventually hits home. I'm not saying we are doomed because we aren't but we are in a very serious position which needs to be appreciated, before we win a couple we can't think of anything but achieving 21st place. Football isn't played on paper until we win a couple and put teams like Wycombe and Coventry to bed we are in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyPride Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I don't know how much influence Mel will have on the appointment but didn't he reveal previously that he was a big fan of Eddie Howe (this may have come out of the 'Breakfast Club' meeting but was lost to the revelation about the lack of sausages)?

When he was manager of Bournemouth I was so jealous of them and would have taken him in a heartbeat. But, so many people seem to think he was over rated, couldnt manage big egos and his time was up. I always thought he talked a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably wait to around game 41 rather than 11 before I feel anything like the dread you have (if you are right that it is a relegation battle to season end). When you have 50 years under your belt supporting this bloody frustrating football club, these still don’t seem like too bad times to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK-Ram Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I'd rather we beat Barnsley to the post and appoint Balotelli player-manager than get Howe. There are numerous accounts of fall outs with senior players, and that is before we consider how players like Ibe have fared under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Danny Murphy believes that we should re-appoint Nigel Pearson. I'm firmly of the opinion that Pearson could have succeeded in different circumstances but come on! There's baggage and there's baggage. Possibly the stupidest suggestion ever.

MauritianMonsta Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Howe was my #1 choice. Feel we may regret not getting him whilst he's available and out of a job - similar to Utd and Potch. He is only 3 years older than Terry with mountains more managerial experience than him. Plays football well also. would have him here right away. Ideally a sporting director too. That unrealstic Raif Raignick would be amazing now thst I read up on him but seems highly unrelalistic but that would be a dream combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
