Magic Man Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Who's had a bet on the next manager then? I've got a fiver on Justin Edinburgh @ 33-1 simply because I think we'll get someone completely under the radar and he seems to tick some of the boxes.... and I like an outsider!! Anyone else?

If Warnock was offered a lucrative contract - i.e. one last big deal before retiring - I'm sure he would take it. He has a big ego and the thought of rescuing City would appeal to him. Just like the 5th Cavalry coming over the hill to rescue the settlers from the pesky Indians. Any signings whist he was here would be made in the next couple of months, and he would only be here for approx 4 months,so I'm sure he could live with signings being made by Mark Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Got £25 on Warnock at 22/1 the other day. Had a free £20 bet to so have lumped that on Clarke at 16/1 I'm hoping Pearson though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Started out with Justin Edinburgh, who's odds shifted immediately out from 14 to 34-1, had a nibble at Monk and then, for safety put my last pound on Pearson. This is the last of my SoD-appointment winnings, so it needs to be one of those three or I'm done for. Can't there is a stand out runner in this field. Pearson probably my fav but seems to have some of the dodgy Cotts traits, can't see Moyes here and in any event suspect he has little knowledge of the Championship.

And the other system has been soooo successful for the club ! I really feel that we need to get away from the Manager / Dictator post . In this day and age the pressures are too much and the stakes are too high to leave everything in the hands of just one man . Cotts is burnt out after 18 months , meaning that we have to start all over again and it's likely that we'll have to pay out to change all his coaching staff and pay again to bring in the new manager's coaching staff .Let alone the possibility that we could be back where we where in League 1 so that it all counted for nothing . The continental system is much more logical and leaves the head coach time to concentrate on ' coaching ' . A club has a way of playing where by players can be easily identified and brought in and improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the club say something similar before Cotts was appointed? That due diligence needed to take place, every avenue was going to be explored, it was going to take time to get the right man etc etc. And then an hour later Cotts was revealed as manager! I therefore have no expectations at all on timescales of when this will all be sorted, could be today could be June for all we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could have worded that better, I meant the overall picture really - signings, youth development etc - if the manager is autocratic and has total control without meddling, like I imagine SC probably wanted to be, the board might feel threatened by this.
