Phelan?

[Jonboy60]

Are we too far down the line now with mcall to even have a chat with phelan, or would he be looking for bigger and better things than UTD. ( sufc) that is.

 

[sitwell]

Brian Kidd - shudder

 

[ShropshireBlade]

Well if you were to believe some rumours from this morning, it looks like Mccall could be ruling himself out. Funny you should mention Phelan though as i thought to myself he could be a good option as well.

 

[moDtheGod]

I don't think that WalthamstowBlade is the right man for the job. Mind you, his economics skills could be handy for trimming the wage bill.

The strikers would be out on their arses though.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Thought these thoughts when Fergus announced his retirement. Phelan has bags of experience and knowledge, only question is can he step this up to the main job? He'll get the chance somewhere

 

[Hartley Hare]

Phelan would be a good choice. Hope they talk to him.

What rumours are those?

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

I don't want to be the team that experiments on a manager.

Most football manager appointments are experiments, a track record in one club often means bugger all when put into a new situation.

Yeah but he's never managed a team before

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Steve Clarke of West Brom had also never managed a team before this season.

Your mean the rumours on Blades Mad from those claiming to be ITK but really aren't ?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Of course we shouldn't consider a man who was Sir Alex Ferguson’s right-hand man during three Premier League title wins, a Club World Cup, two League Cups and two runs to the final of the UEFA Champions League.

Now that would be stupid.

Get Wilson back FFS.

doesn't make him Alex Ferguson

and?

 

[Highbury_Blade]

and?

He's doing a good job of it.

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

And that doesn't make every other manager good

 

[Highbury_Blade]

And that doesn't make every other manager good

Quite correct.

However just because someone has never managed before, does not mean they will be a bad manager. So to use Phelan's lack of managerial experience against him is a bit daft.

I for one would rather have someone who was experience of coaching at the very top level trying their hand at managing for the first time with us, rather than someone who's only experiencing of coaching thus far has been a set of league one players.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Not that it matters anyway. Most assistant manager jobs in the premier league would pay more than we would for the manager of SUFC

I want gary Neville

and it doesn't make him good

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

go away

 

[Mendi]

Nop to him.

I bet the club turns to Micheal Appleton.

 

[Sirius]

doesn't make him Alex Ferguson

Brian Robson and Kidd, plus our loans from the Mancs over the years tell me that we should steer well clear of another disaster. It's one thing to be able to coach top class prospects who are able to carry out instructions another to deal with donkeys.

 

[metalblade]

That's it, offer the job to that man on Cleethorpes beach he will get the donkeys running.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

But our donkeys can only jog

 

[ponteblade]

Think we will plump for cheap option Morgan and do nothing once again!!!!!!

 

[Racy]

I believe every interveiw Mcabe has played the job down it's now clear Morgan will start the season so we better get used to it.
