If not wilder, who else????

[metalblade]

Cooper, Hessenhuttl, Parker, Edwards, Challinor, Dyche etc etc, look them up.
Mousinho could be decent, need to move on, whenever wilder and staff go we need to move on

Parker has he ever worked on a shoestring?

Parker has he ever worked on a shoestring?

Parker will always be a no on the sole basis that he had a Fulham team with Aleksander Mitrovic in it, and he needed the fucking playoffs to get promoted

One of my core beliefs this. Always give businessmen the benefit of the doubt. And believe in better.

If it wasn’t for business people you wouldn’t be able to go to school. The taxes wouldn’t be there to pay the wages of your teachers.

Kept saying O’Neil but he’s been snapped up by Premier League Ipswich. We had our chance in the summer.

Steve Cooper would be my preference now.

You put a lot of work into that post!

I wasn’t claiming he’s a nice person. But he does seem to be pretty good at coaching a winning side.

I didn't put much work into it at all. I spend a fair bit of time on the Middlesbrough board for various reasons, and they have a bit of a Tonda Eckert obsession since the spygate business, understandably enough, so the spygate badge and other stuff about Southampton's points deduction and the FA's case against Eckert are on threads on their board that get regularly bumped.

My point wasn't about whether or not Eckert is a nice person, it was that it's no good having a coach who's good at coaching a winning side, if his lack of professionalism or, to put it bluntly - cheating - is going to result in being kicked out of the play-offs, a points deduction, and then the uncertainty of going into a season not knowing whether you'll lose and have to replace your head coach because he has 3 charges of breaching FA regulations hanging over his head.

That's why I took issue with your statement that he'd "done alright", because it's pointless having a coach who can do his job well enough to get you into the play-offs, if he's going to suffer such a serious error of judgement (and that's being generous to him), that you then get kicked out of said play-offs, undoing an entire season of good work, and then have to start the next season with a points deduction, to boot.


Edit: KMC-1889 Sorry I can't quote you, I've messed up multi-quote, but see my reply to dc_blade ^^. To reiterate, it's no use having a coach who can do his job well enough to get you high up in the table, if you can't trust him to complete the season without making an error of judgement so severe that it undoes an entire season's good work, and puts you at a disadvantage going into the next season to boot.
