Yep, seems we have a limited calibre in what we are looking for in a head coach… not sure he has the experience needed to ride the inevitable storms and dips in form. Then again, it feels as though whoever it is has been set up with their independence of thought and manoeuvre already limited from the get-go. Whoever it is, we will have to back, but it’s a sad state of affairs we are in this position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the names that were mentioned felt like a downgrade if we're being honest, I don't think we would've come out thrilled with whoever it was (and I say that even though I was quite keen on Williams myself).

maxjak Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 If this is true? What a let down. A club like ours should be casting its net widely all over Europe to find a young progressive tracksuit coach, like a Farke or Frank type (Yes i know that is a cliche).....but that is exactly what this club needs? Instead we take the easy option off of the merry go round of sacked managers.....no ambition no foresight? If we were intending to get rid of NP, why didn't we spend a few months looking at possible replacements, vetting them, researching them, and talking to candidates? Instead it's a case of who's out of job, and is gonna be grateful to be employed, and lets make sure he is a YES man who won't upset anyone? It is all so very tedious IMO. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
