Bris Red Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Andy082005 said: The one name I haven’t seen mentioned to much is Scott Parker…. Can’t see a Scott Parker for one second working under the current setup.. I think Tinnions interview pretty much ruled out a number of candidates purely on the fact that the setup here isn’t going to be to the liking of managers who have player or managed at a higher level. I genuinely believe it is going to be someone from the lower leagues who will see this as a big opportunity and will tow the line. Can’t see it going any other way to be honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows what is being filmed, we can only guess but staff suggested yesterday that they couldn't say what it was. Not even a joke or trying to poke the bear, but just drove past about 4 filming vans/buses on new Charlotte st with people loading out cameras and mics etc, and a lot of people stood around being pointed into position.

As for Colin, I appreciate he would be the worst tasting Marmite ever for fans but if you want a manager who has had even more success and experience at this level than Nige, he’s your only man. Look at the job he did at Huddersfield last season keeping them up, when they looked dead and buried, plus look how they have done since he has left. It won’t happen though! 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk of different managers and it's still probably going to be Manning. I'm super pessimistic after Tinnion, Millen and Holden appointments and can't see any out of the box type coaches coming here. You serious? errr a certain Nigel Pearson was appointed I believe.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 4 hours ago, ChippenhamRed said: OK so this is all starting to check out. - Clearly plans being made for tomorrow - Fleming released last night according to credible sources on the other thread. - Lampard had a meeting cancelled and no further contact (according to claims by a poster who appears credible) So do we actually have any idea who it is? If Curtis was sacked last night after the match( which in itself would seem odd) then it must be the first time that an acting caretaker manager has been dismissed and then gagged from any personal announcement. There is absolutely no hard evidence whatsoever that FL had an interview and that it was cancelled. I'd have thought that Frank would keep that quiet! Surely the appointment of a new Manager is not something that they or the board just happen to discuss with a mate who then discusses it with a mate who then posts it on here? Unless, ofcourse, Wagatha Christie is involved and it's all an elaborate sting operation and part of Jon's cunning plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His win % is high. His teams play attacking and pressing football and he is well respected within the game for his approach to youth development. Just because it's not a 'name' it surprises me how some on here have debated and reacted to him as a choice. He's very much of the McKenna mould from Ipswich, and I think he's a great choice personally.
