Guest Hope and pray Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I am not convinced that Terry Connor would have been the experienced coach that we are looking for. His coaching career to date is nothing special, he's never been a manager or worked at the highest levels of the game. Sure, he might be a nice bloke and have past links with City but what else is there.The one outstanding candidate in my book would be Terry Cooper. Who knows he might just fancy being a bit more involved without the pressure of day to day management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tactical Genius Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Then we differ on our opinion of excellent football.The game against Sheffield was hardly aesthetically pleasing, lots of bookings and a sending off.

Gazred Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 After reading those posts and reflecting back on Bennys time here, i think he would serve us well as a Head Coach or a Director of Football....whatever that actualy means, my understanding of that role would be as a mentor/overseer to all things training, youth development and also bringing a wealth of tactical and match day experience.Surely Benny would be able to succesfully fill either of those roles....i think so anyway.

So that "performance" can't have been too bad.←Like you say Madger, the opinion of Trevor Francis ain't up to much really.The fact is we squandered some very good chances in that game and lost a game that we had the lead in. If you think that is excellent football then fine, I happen to think it shows the sign of a poor side, which is what we were under Lennartsson.Now, you could say that it was largely Ward's side. Well maybe, but under Ward they were beginning to turn the corner. We outplayed Bolton in Ward's last game. (Note Nogbad - that game saw some excellent football, both offensively and at the back). But Lennartsson bought in enough of his own players who didn't shine Bo Andersen, Testimetanu, Seebok along with loan signing Heaney. He loaned out Thorpe but persevered with Torpey. He consistantly played Seebok and Brennan out of position, and thought the best place for Murray was as a wing back despite the fact that he can barely win a tackle. He couldn't decide where to play Adam Locke. He almost got lucky with the return of Taylor and the loaning of the excellent Howells. But ultimately he, and the team, was very poor during the time he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
