When was the last time we POACHED a manager ?

[Ernest]

When was the last time we got a new manager from a different club rather than one that is on the scrap heap ?

Hughton
Hyypia
Poyet
Salde
Adams
Wilkins already at the Club
Magoo
Coppell
Tinselhead already at the Club
Taylor
Adams
Wood already at the Club
Horton
Gritt

etc etc

Why for once can't we go for a manager who is actually having success at the time instead of one proved to be no good like Hughton sacked from his last job ?

I prefer to pay money for players, than compensating another club, for their manager.

We won't POACH anybody. It's too EXPENSIVE.

Garcia?

Garcia?

Yep, was just about to post this. He probably was.

Hughton was on the scrap heap and no other club would employ him apart from us. We're his retirement fund as when his contract runs out then he'll retire.

He had already resigned so was out of work

 

[Cloughie]

Brian Clough

Resigned from Derby 3 weeks before

Wouldn't have said that was exactly true, he was always being linked with management roles at clubs in both Premiership and Championship. If we hadn't got him, some other club would have done so not long after.

What other clubs?

 

[Lurchy]

What other clubs?

He was linked with Leeds, Watford, Reading and West Brom between leaving Norwich and taking the reigns at Brighton.

He's only 56. He won't retire yet.

Excellent question.

Think we tried unsuccessfully to tempt Jim Gannon from Stockport County
