So why would DCFC -- newly taken over by practically the world's richest man -- need those skills? I foresee an entirely different kind of gaffer coming in. Unless the powers-that-be at Pride Park really are completely inept (granted, this could indeed be so) I would be very surprised if Cocu's replacement has not already been tapped up. But Eddie Howe's promoted Bournemouth side brike FFP regulations..? Link to post Share on other sites

He's probably the manager most likely to keep us up this season and get us promoted next. I also think he is more pragmatic (in its real sense) than defensive. He appears to get the best out of the players available, rather than try to mould the players to his way of playing. Given that sustainability only comes with promotion, if I owned the club I'd go for Big Sam if I could make the contract work. As a fan I'd go for Jokanovic - but it's not my money that's melting away with every season of non-promotion. In fairness to Allardyce I think he is a significant cut above your average championship "pragmatist" and you may have a fair point about him. I'd still have concerns whether the squad is suitable for what he'd try but history shows there is a more than fair chance he'd find a way to be effective. It'd be likely ugly though and there is a fair chance our academy starlets get binned back to U23s. Call my naive but I sincerely don't think we have to completely give up on this season and just purely go for surviving. We need to change that's for certain but I think if someone comes in who can get a little more out of individual performances I think we will quickly climb. You raise Jokanovic and that's who I'd go for as well. He took over Fulham in a similar situation if I recall correctly so it wouldn't be new territory for him guiding a team out of the mire.

Ambitious 10,283 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I hope people aren’t suggesting Benítez as a realistic possibility. We’re currently bottom of the Championship - Allardyce is a big enough stretch. Nookiebear1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

People have short memories his Bournemouth team ripped the championship apart But that's just it He was very much their manager and Bournemouth very much his team. He'd been there years building the team up, the momentum from bringing them up from League Two a massive factor. They just fit together. It's very rare that you can replicate that sort of symbiosis elsewhere, especially not if you're expected to bring instant results to someone else's team.

Remember his spell at Burnley? I bet you don't. He certainly didn't play attractive attacking football with them, infact he had then playing the most niggly, diving, time wasting, feigning injury cynical poo you could ever imagine.
