Albion's next manager ***Discuss it here & vote***

[El Presidente]

Done

 

[goldstone]

I say leave it to Uncle Dick. He's got a pretty good track record ... 100% when he goes outside the club for a manager ... so let him make a good decision for us again.

 

[Kenhead]

bobs doing alright at the moment, obviously hes next 2 games will be a bigger test but if we get at least 4 points from them 2 games i can't see why not booker. hes been at the club for ages, hes showed hes commitment and he knows the falmer situation

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Give it to Danny Cullip or Charlie Oatway, or maybe both as a joint player-manager gig. These players have been consistently motivating the team a damn' sight more than all these cynical steering job managers who have used the Albion as nothing more than a stepping stone to the job they REALLY want.

 

[Yorkie]

I reckon Micky Adams is going to get the sack at Leicester now they're bottom and he'll come back to us

 

[pasty]

Harty just mentioned on the radio that Dick has had three seperate meetings with Steve Cotterill over the last week or so.

 

[Yorkie]

He also said Kinnear has priced himself out of the market

 

[perseus]

I am slightly perturbed about the Steve Cotterill choice as he played his football in the lower divisions in a very poor period of English football, when the percentage game and 5-3-2 wing-back system was played. To me he does not seem to have the breadth of football experience.

How can he overcome this deficiency of he has never played in a decent standard of football? Maybe he can?

Seems about Leyton Orient standard to me.

Bob Booker is to be preferred? Pity SC did not stay at Stoke as they would have been relegated instead of us.

Who on the list in our list has both:

1) experience of higher class football
2) managerial experience

Not many: Steve Mc Mahon, Liam Brady (both probably under contract?) Ian Dowie (no contract?)

[desprateseagull]

just who is this ian dowie i keep reading raves about?

isnt it time we stopped faffing about and offered the job
(and a long overdue promotion?) to bob brooker?

 

[dunno]

What about McGhee?

Apart from Leicester, his record looks pretty good to me. Seems to fit a lot of criterea:

Experienced with contacts (managed Reading, Wolves, Leicester and Millwall). Success in lower divisions (not only got Milwall promoted but kept them in Div. 1 top ten since-they are still 8th now). Has managed without big budgets (most of them probably bigger than ours admittedly).

Worth approaching to add to DK's shortlist (or at least the NSC poll)?

Agreed. I'm surprised he's lost his Millwall position (by Mutual Consent - ha!)

No

 

[I can't think of one]

so, if offered Mcghee or one of the other names who would you take now?

 

[Muzzman]

I went for McGhee

 

[Comedy Steve]

So did I

But Mark is still losing to Lawrie Sanchez

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I can't believe so many people wanted Booker

 

[Braders]

Iain Dowie

 

[ShorehamGull]

I'll pick Danny Wilson, I think he is still out of work

 

[Kev the Ape]

MM is our manager and is staying our manager no need to make a thread or a vote about a new manager. MM is a legend. .
