I am chuffed with the high calibre of managers we are being linked with. We have very good, proven managers such as Hughton and Pulis, then exciting coaches such as Sherwood, Robinson and Rosler. I for one would be happy with any of them. People moaning about conservative football need to get a...
If there was ever a manager whose name should be considered before all tactical and coaching ability then it is this bloke. 'Dermot Drummy's blue and white army'?
It seems there was a lot of mutual respect between Hyppia and Bloom, perhaps a different relationship to the one he had with Gus and Oscar previously. Perhaps upon resigning Hyppia has stated this, along with results, as a key factor and Bloom has taken it on board more so than ever? He only has...
No. He wants us to pay attractive, attacking, passing football. Gus and Oscar had the first two thirds of the pitch sorted and Hyppia, along with Burke, went and royally screwed that up. It's not an obsession but it's a very smart move. What's the point in building the academy, coaching them in...
True, although I would be worried he may be a little out of touch with the day-to-day runnings of a football club. We need someone to come in and hit the ground running. There are some very good candidates being linked to this job now. Beggars belief that Hyppia got the gig in the first place.
We have to remember Bloom has this vision for the club in which we have a 'brand' of football and all ages of the youth team are taught to play the same way. Robinson would fit well into this mantra as head coach, Pulis wouldn't.
I wouldn't consider Hughton or McDermott as failures whatsoever. Hughton won the league at the first attempt with Newcastle and Norwich getting rid of him ended up in their relegation. McDermott got a very average Reading team from around the bottom of the league into the Prem as champions...
What kind of football does he have them playing at MK Dons? Hyppia tried yet ended up utterly decimating our possession football whilst attempting to make us a more attacking side. We desperately need to recapture our style of previous seasons. If Robinson can do that then I am absolutely all...
Right, Nathan Jones... Everyone on here seems to have a tainted opinion of him since he got Joe Anyinsah sent off against Yeovil in what, 2008? He was part of a coaching team that got us into the top six last season and has held roles in and around this League for a good few years now. He knows...
I don't have any problems with the guy but we simply must allow the new manager to work with his people. For me, that means Burke has to go. Jones on the other hand is evidently a good coach with good experience of this division. He should definitely be retained, just let the new gaffer choose...
Quite. In recent memory I have never known a manager to be so inept tactically during a match. Honestly, hand on heart, if we gave ten fans an in-game-vote each match on substitutions and tactics I don't think the results would have been too different.
It's going to be a very interesting first interview from Hyppia post resignation. His career as a manager is in tatters so nice guy or not, I would expect a couple of references towards our recruitment system.
There is more to this than meets the eye. No way is he resigning all of a sudden, Tuesday afternoon so close to a game. I have every suspicion this is more media spin, controlled by the club.
The large majority of players have gone backwards due to the confidence being absolutely decimated. It has been like this since October. We absolutely have the players to deliver us a mid-table finish.
THIS. People are blindly backing him. Yes a point is a good result but because Hyppia is tactically so inept we have dropped points all the way through the season. The stats more than show he is incompetent in the extreme. But let's face it, his training sessions are good (according to the media...
