DCFC27 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I fear Rooney does need a win or two before the takeover goes through to get a run at the job and IMO before he gets January to spend money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepyuppy Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Yeah, people need to try and keep up with the fast changing news in the football world, before calling out posters. I still think Rooney is doing a reasonable job, but until such time he is or isn't confirmed as permanent manager. It would be foolhardy to dismiss out of hand someone like Bilic if he was available, as he has proven record of taking failing teams, making them better and getting them promoted to the Premier League. Believe it or not, there are other sources of reliable information out there, other than the usual supposed itk contributors ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampant Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Don't want Bilic tbh. Massively overrated and struggled to get a WBA squad promoted last year that a better manager - say Bielsa - would have walked the league with. Also walks with a limp.

Bubbles Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I disagree with Bilic, if we’re going to appoint our next manager, it needs to be someone who’s been interested for some time, January will be crucial and we need someone who can come in, assess the squad and already have players in mind who they feel would improve the squad. Otherwise if, say, we appoint Bilic, he’s got a couple weeks before Jan and we’ll end up only having a small idea of who would improve the squad. Get Eddie Howe in.

Ambitious Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’m sold on Bilic, perhaps even Igor as his number two to reunite from their Croatia days. I can but dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Howe gets a nosebleed if he goes north of Winchester, and probably barely knows where Derby is on a map, much less any detail of our squad.

For those who want a Bilic being sacked story not behind a paywall: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55327461 I'm not sure if Igor would energise the wider fan base. He only played 84 games and that was 20 years ago. The best way to energise the fan base is to obviously get results and play good football. Any excitement generated by appointing an ex-player would soon disappear if we continued to struggle. Conversely, it doesn't matter if the manager/assistant manager has only ever played for Forest. If he is a success then his playing career and links to Derby or other clubs becomes irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
