Next manager

[Champagneblade]

I haven't seen one single BAME candidate mentioned.

Nobody applying? Nobody interested? Overlooked?

If we have a list of 5 should we be giving an opportunity to 1 BAME candidate to show the way forward?

I mean in terms of managerial experience, Tindall and Blessin both have less than Brian Deane for instance, than Curtis Woodhouse.

In years to come people will realise the cards we stacked against him and the prince manoeuvred him out. Not actively I don't think but with his actions or sometimes lack of.

People talk about awful recruitment but last season we signed ramsdale, Brewster, Bogle, Burke and Lowe.
Of those it's fair to say now that Ramsdale and Bogle are good recruits. And Brewster still has the potential. Lowe need to see more of.

But essentially as the season went on, struggle for form, and as discussions did/didn't happen at boardroom level etc. It effected his mental health, look at the figure cut towards the end of his time compared to even last September. Looked a different man.

Wilder stacked and played his own cards.
He bought the players and sat them on the substitutes bench.
He left us with a totally unbalanced squad
He refused to change the formation
He handed in his notice three times

He may not have been dealt a perfect hand , but he surely could have played his cards so much better than he did

Shortlisting Hecky for one!

Is it ? Shouldnt they interview a range of a candidates ?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

There's a list. It's got 5 names on it. One of them is Heckinbottom. One of them isn't Jokanovic. That's all we actually know?

Actually we only know that Heckinbottom is one of the 5 (because.Bettis stated that) the rest is only paper speculation - otherwise surely some media smart-arse would have published the actual list.

 

[Eric_Brooks]

We wasted the best chance of an immediate return last time by appointing Robson. We need to get this right straight away. No testing someone because they won one game and the players like him

surely there is a difference in players liking hecky and players playing for him which is what I have seen last 2 games

I would prefer SJ or Blessin, but prefer Hecky to tindall Howe or Appleton for example

If they're the right person for the job, their ethnicity is irrelevant. Filling out quotas is a fools errand.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

You mean fans will pissed off if the board dont employ their choice of manager no matter how unrealistic it is ?

Why go through the motions ...If the man is already in the building.

 

[FriethBlade]

Must be 30% of pro footballers who are BAME but what...less than 2% of managers ? Are they getting the same opportunity?

America introduced the Rooney rule which stipulates clubs must interview at least one BAME candidate for every head coach role. It's only a matter of time before that is introduced in the UK.

 

[petcharlie]

I should imagine who ever gets the job will be the cheapest option who is satisfied with the min pay.

I don't see that working here. It's not like a traditional job where you put a advert for a vacancy and go through the offers. You chase people you want.

I used to do that, before the restraining order that is..

If that became the case, then no problem, it's an even playing field for all clubs. While I fully agree with the sentiment/intent, feeling the need to fulfil equality quota's, independently, in a competitive environment will increase the chances of potentially missing the right candidate.

EFL clubs must interview at least one BAME candidate

EFL clubs seeking a new manager must now interview at least one black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidate after the league introduced the 'Rooney rule'.

www.dailymail.co.uk

We already have the rule in place where a football league club has to interview a BAME candidate. It's not in the PL for some reason

How many homosexuals have been mentioned?

 

[mancunianblade]

You can’t Chuck kids straight into a toxic environment. That helps nobody

You say that but I was born into a toxic environment and I’ve only spent 62% of my adult life in prison so I think that proves you can....

Loads they havent as yet come out

Honestly this is pathetic a manager to be is the qualification not because there ethiniciy terrible post

Exactly it pees me off quotas if there good enough then OK if not you dint give a job for the sake of it

Thought this was a Limerick at first done badly.

 

[Blade58]

What's he supposed to do different with the same small pool of players in a completely unbalanced squad?

That’s for the manager to decide, but the usual football terms and cliches always spring to mind like formation, tactics, strategy, motivation, fresh imputus, new manager honeymoon period.
I maybe doing Hecky a bit of a disservice but I haven’t really noticed anything at all from a new manager and new assistant to suggest anything at all has changed.

just find him underwhelming that’s all.

...but so much more interesting in press conferences !

I find it strange that they don’t mention one candidate due to etiquette, privacy, respect to candidates etc but then they get down to the shortlist of 5 and then name just one of them

To me there’s obviously some ulterior motive to that. They needn’t have said anything at all, as all that is important at this stage is that the 5 know who they are

Absolutely

we all love CW - we are all so grateful for what he and AK did but he managed and prepared us appallingly for this season

you don’t finish where we are if you are managed well

I get the sentiment and like everyone I wish - and honestly thought - That we would consolidate this season after last seasons unprecedented success

but he totally fkd up - totally

and then ran off ffs

 

[Champagneblade]

It's a requirement or close to being one in the FL which is why I raised the point of discussion.

 

[Harry's Game]

If we appoint Brian Deane I would almost want Pinchy to return to the forum.. the ultimate Bladey Blade appointment

 

[Bell4]

How many homosexuals have been mentioned?

Well I haven’t !!

 

[Ron_Justice]

If and it's a big IF, but if there are endemic issues with BAME managers getting their foot in the door for jobs, then fair play. The EFL should be ensuring that those people are getting a fair crack of the whip. It's shocking that the PL doesn't have the same ruling. Actually, is it that shocking.....

Interesting, I suppose, that because we're 'technically' still in the PL we may not need to cover that particular base even though, effectively, were an EFL club.

If they’re only half black would we need to interview two of them if we were officially a tier 2 club?

 

[Scarebus]

As long as the UK Rooney rule doesn't mean we have to consider Wayne Rooney, cos fuck that.
