Name the new guvnor then

[Ska Junkie]

Just a bit of fun, to try to lift the gloom

After all the might be's and won't be's, name who you think will be the new head coach.

Make it want and think if you want. Most of us know naff all anyway.

Don't put Nige, we've all done that!

Want Eustace

Think Lampard

 

Edited November 1, 2023 by Ska Junkie

[BCFC_Josh]

Think it'll be Rowett.

I personally think Jokanovic would be a good option but can't see a manager from overseas being appointed.

[numbeast]

Given what was outlined yesterday there is only one candidate who would fit the criteria, Brian Tinnion. With the vision he has set out in his interview on the way we should play I think we'll be promoted by Christmas 

[Sir Colby-Tit]

Want Chuck Norris

Think it will be Curtis Fleming (after an exhaustive, extensive, thorough process)

[bcfc01]

Posed the same question on the Next Head Coach thread.

WIth three now out of the frame (Rowett, Williams, and Eustace) and assuming its a youngish, head coach rather than manager, well regarded, relatively successful indiviidual, it must be someone in work as I don't see anyone that qualifies that is out of work at the moment.

Liam Manning is the lazy suggestion I suppose (cue Shags or Kid saying he's not under consideration)..

I'm beginning to think you might be right.

[bearded_red]

It’ll be Cole Skuse or Jamie McAllister.

[Bristol Oil Services]

If I was SL I'd call Tony Bloom and ask: "Tone, do us a favour: if you were 15th in the Championship who would you appoint?"

Tony Bloom, seeing no threat, might be happy to oblige. While on the line, Steve might ask him if he knows of any players - in Ecuador or wherever - not quite Prem quality but good enough for 15th in the Championship. 

Steve might even go on to ask Tone, "if you had a somewhat underwhelming portfolio of sporting mediocrity to sell, any suggestions?"

And round things off with a request for a tip for Cheltenham next March ....

 

[CyderHead92]

I reckon Williams 

[BCFC1512]

Lampard

[Silvio Dante]

The new man undoubtedly has a job on his hands, appeasing an unhappy fanbase while dealing with interference from boardroom and training ground personnel, all in handling a small squad with high expectations. It’s not a job for a light individual and therefore the only man for the job is former Leeds United frontman Arthur Graham.

I haven't heard it's not him, if that makes sense. If we're looking for that Luke Williams type, but clearly not Williams himself, then Manning may well have a shout. 

Was actually quite impressed with Oxford in the cup game. Had they taken their chances in the first half, the game could've had a v different outcome.

[Ska Junkie]

How about Warne, ex Millers and Derby?

[George Rs]

If we get to Saturday and don’t have one in it’ll be Curtis Flemming

[Atticus]

Head coach and   tinnion. 

 

That's the only answer

Want Fleming (til Christmas, this is currently an awful situation for a new manager to walk into). Then look who’s out there.

I get what you are saying but we need a new manager.   We can’t afford to tread water until the new year (Christmas itself would be a crazy time to bring a manager in - literally no time on the training pitch).  If the club want it to be CF then give it to him now.   But they can’t piss about for 10 weeks just to defuse a situation of their own making.

It will 100% be Frank Lampard.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if either of them takes charge. I really wouldn’t.

They’re on record as saying they want a head coach. That rules out Rowett, Jones, Warnock. I doubt we’re going to pay to buy out Robins or Williams. Eustace seems like a no-goer, despite the odds. They won’t take Cotts back. 

Are they deluded enough to think they can get a Hassenhutl, Lampard or Parker? I can’t see any of them coming in when the board are on record as saying PL is the aim this season and they have no money to spend.

I severely doubt the board have the nous to appoint anyone from overseas as well. So, where does that leave us? Fleming or Tinnion. 

How the hell they let us get into this position beggars belief. Completely reckless, stupid and short-sighted. Clueless fools, all of them.

I think that your analysis is correct. The wage bill would be reduced because the two gentlemen are already employed.  Fleming might be a bit reluctant because of his close ties with Nigel, but a job is a job.  On the other hand, do the board and JL really think that the fans would support such an appointment?  Nothing would surprise me with City, but the bean counters seem to have undue influence at the present time.

Doing a fine job at the moment guiding the mighty Bury Town to midtable in some obscure division.

We might as well get Rob Dray from Taunton. 

[Ivorguy]

Whoever it turns out to be it will be underwhelming 

He will inevitably be a ‘yes’ man as the Lansdowns simply can’t cope with a person with an independent mind

Plus remember Coppell and Cotterill, as well as Nige.

It is unlikely anyone with anything about them would take this poisoned chalice - plenty of other managerial posts available at present and likely more before New Year.

I don’t think whoever is appointed they will last beyond Xmas 2024

Sad times for City

Jokanovic was one of several who weren’t interested when Nige got the job.

Not a chance in a million, I don’t see Robins coming here to work in our current set up either, even if he was out of work.

He’s a manager, Adie Viveash is his coach.

I think we have made an approach to Matt Taylor at Rotherham.

I agree mate and I’m not saying it will be Fleming; just that it would not surprise me if that’s where they end up. They’ve got previous for this with Holden.

When they sacked Cotts, LJ sat in his seat the next day. I was expecting the same after Nige. What’s the delay now? Was it a knee-jerk decision? Are they paying compo for someone? I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing.
