TheAllestreeRam Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Id still like to see us go for a manager from abroad. The obsession of 'championship experience' is a bit of a myth in my humble opinion. They are usually experienced in the championship because they stay in the championship, Gary Rowett being a good example. All the best teams ive seen go through this league in recent years have all been managed by people with no championship experience, Bielsa, Farke and Nuno...

True haha, it can be a gamble but one worth taking for the chance of uncovering a gem? Early days but Reading look pretty good with someone most would likely never have heard of and an average squad.

Wolfie Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have foreseen it. The next Manager will be Louie Sibley, following Philip Cocu bettering Alex Ferguson's record of overcoming a shaky start and leading the club to hitherto unknown glory. Sibley himself having retired after captaining England to World Cup victory. ITK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only reference Legohead as yielding an equally poor league position as Cocu so all the others have been comparitively successful yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If the Sheikh takes charge i think were looking at someone high profile, a name. They'll be out to make a statement that their in charge and that the club is moving forwards with more impetus, funds and no how. I still think Steve Mac maybe in with a shout but there are plenty of ex-premier and good foreign manager who would jump at the chance of a well paid job at secure,progressive,well funded championship side with a good youth set up, great fan base and facilities ready for the premiership. Put you seat belts on I think its going to be one hell of ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New managers are a lottery. UK or overseas, previous history means nothing. Pick a name, any name. That is of course you are eating at the top table and we ain't.

We've gone for both experienced and novice managers with the same end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a curse on us, it's just that good managers are rare and very few of them can replicate it everywhere (even Brian!). Good managers need a lot of things to go right for them, squad, momentum, cash, support, results, signings, fanbase and - usually - a big dollop of luck as well. I can't think of one who has been successful elsewhere, then not with us, then have been with someone else. Not sure I can think of one (except Brian) who was successful after being with us, never mind before. Phil Brown is the only one I can recall who did anything near successful after being here.
