Jean Tigana

[Stumpy Tim]

The idea is to get a manager that is not likely to be offered a 'better' job at the end of the season. I agree, if offered then they would all walk.

Ok, If we did elect Booker (And I'm not saying that is what I'd like) and he got us promotion, could you see another club (and they would have to be a prem club) coming in for him?

Tigina on the other hand would be applying for everything left right and centre, for more money.

Can't see Dowie going on the basis of one promotion.

The only manager guaranteed not to get offered a better job is one that isn't any good. I would rather have a good manager myself

I'm in agreement with Stumpy on this.

Coppel only had a 12 month contract, he'd potentially have gone within a year.

And for those who say Tigana might f*** off after the season, so be it. If I was Dick Knight and I was offered Micky Adams on a 9 month contract I'd take it.

Tigana on a contract till the end of the season. Potentially a gap filler for him, and promotion for us. Rather that than a loyal manager who can't get us back in the 1st and is on a lenghty contract.

Errr no not at all. The only manager not to get offered a better job is one that is:

a) Not looking for another job
b) Not spouting off about past glories (ie champions league 5 years ago, Used to be the England Manager (and gave Beckham the captains armband)

We need a manager that is going to see us into Falmer. Just because a manager doesn't get poached doesn't mean he isn't any good!

I tell you what, let's get Vialli in! He's a good manager, could get us promotion! Would we be in a better situation after he's buggered off? No. We'd be a lot poorer for one thing and probably our double championship winning side's team spirit would have been totally quashed.

What - like Coppell?? He didn't mention his track record at all. He just did a good job & was offered a new job.

And Vialli would be crap because he's a crap manager. Tigana isn't. Okay, he spent quite a bit of cash in Div 1 with Fulham but they did win the title by a million points. You can't compare the two

we dont want no foreigner whateve his stupid name is here managing our football wots he done so far F*** all! Rix can F*** OFF TOO, Gray is hardly good enough to get an interview let alone the job and Dowie just aint up to it as for Cotterill well you aint gonn aget good football appreciation there silent! as for bon the Builder forget him he is a clown GIVE THE MANAGERS JOB TO DEAN WILKINS!

 

[Bwian]

Ain't the ignore list a wonderful invention?

 

[countrygull]

Can't really decide on this one: my heart tells me Bob because he's done nothing wrong and he must have learnt loads from all the managers he's worked with. But my head tells me a proven performer like Dowie or Cotterrill. I don't know what tells me Tigana but it does sound very tempting!!!
I'm uncertain as to whether I'm indecisive.

 

[Trigger]

I'm certain as to who i want...

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Ain't the ignore list a wonderful invention?

Absolutely - I'm sure it was some drivel about Dean Wilkins being manager & some other incoherent nonsense that noone will listen to

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I've just discovered the ignore list. great stuff.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Tigana's never had to work with players at this level. With the greatest of respect to them, he may have expectations of a style of play and ability that the team do not possess.

Could you see Hinshelwood, for example, fitting into a team playing the way Tigana would want them? The bloke can defend, certainly, but he can't pass the ball to save his life, bless 'im. I watched Fulham several times under Tigana, they'd pass, pass, pass, and then, just for fun, pass again. If he thinks he could do that in this division he'll be in for a shock.

Also, it wouldn't surprise me if he had a considerably inflated idea of what we could afford to pay him. Dowie for me - working wonders at Oldham, has developed a team with spirit and application, and has contacts at QPR, West Ham, Oldham, Palace (alright, so it's not all good) etc etc.

 

[Lammy]

You don't need to quote an entire post to respond to it.

How do we set up this ignore list?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I know, but I was responding to all of your points.

To Ignore click Profile of the person you want to Ignore & then Add to Your Ignore List. FG is on most peoples list though

 

[Lammy]

Fair point.

FG is now ignored

Although on his profile is says status : banned ??

As for the other points I guess it's for Sir Dick to decide.

(but I'm right)

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm right

 

[Lammy]

I'm right

 

[Trigger]

I'm with Stumpy... 2-1

I said this in a thread yesterday, but why can't we give BB the job on a caretaker basis until we know what the result of the Falmer enquiry is, with one proviso, if we head in to a freefall situation like at the beginning of last season, we don't leave it 12 games to address it. At the same time we shouldn't give BB the job if we win on Saturday. 3 Games isn't enough to prove himself.
Didn't we win the first 3 games under Jeff Wood.

I see where you are coming from but a bit harsh on Booker..... 'Here Bob, you've got the job until we get the green light on Falmer then we can get a proper manager in.....'

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Where do you draw the line though, Brady's? If three games is not enough but 14 games is long enough (which is what Hinshelwood had), how do you settle on a figure?
