The next bladey blade manager

[Silky Sabella]

Billy Sharp was lamenting the terrible start we've had to the season, recently. He would love nothing more than to manage/coach United in the future after finishing his playing career.

No thank you!

We're not a training ground for managers. Let him prove his worth elsewhere first.

No thank you!

Very open minded of you. So a bloke who is still playing and hasn't even started a managerial career, is a definite 'no'.

You must have some fantastic crystal ball.

I think you’ve justified why it would be a no in your own response.

Let him going and cut his teeth somewhere else before deciding if he’s actually a decent manager. TBH I’d see him more as a coach or assistant, doing a similar sort of job as Jack lester did where he can work with and develop players.

I agree and I wouldn't want any new manager to have us as their first job, Blade or not.

The post I was replying to, was a very blunt 'no', which I guess is the opposite of Bladey Bladeness, i.e assuming anyone who is a Blade, can't ever manage.

Didn't say that at all. Just saying a blunt no to Sharp

I’m not sure we’re a club that has had many former players succeed in management are we? Apart from Jimmy Hagan and Wilder who else has there been who played for us for any length of time and has had any real success? I’m sure there must be some, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

Herbert Chapman
George Raynor
Colin Addison
John Barnwell
Jim Smith although he didn't play a first team match for us

 

[MTBlade]

No more Bladey Blade managers for me.

If you have had a great relationship with the club, it could cloud judgements if things aren't going well.

Looking at things now and the split the departure of CW has caused, is not helping anything at the moment IMO.

That’s all a very long time ago.

 

[Willie Carlin]

I’d be ok with United being Oli Norwoods first managers job.

 

[Booker4]

Could get Gareth Ainsworth and Mauricio Taricco in whilst we’re at it. Anti-Bladey bonkiness.

Kevin muscat was all set to sign for United ironically but Harry got sacked so he joined Palace instead.

A blunt no to Sharp, yes, bit no suggestion you'd take him further down the line, if he proved himself.

I was going to say Herbert Chapman. He came from Kiveton Park and had always been a big Unitedite, according to a nephew of his.

 

[I should coco]

That's not what you originally asked, but hey ho.

Jim Smith managed in the Premier League.

Mickey Adams got Leicester promoted to the Premier in 2003.

Alex Sabella did all right with Argentina.

 

[Silent Blade]

Alex Sabella did all right with Argentina.

Yes, won the league with Estudiantes

Alex Sabella? Managed Argentina IIRC

Sorry Greenwich Blade

 

[Silky Sabella]

To be honest, I just want to get the current situation sorted, where I can start to enjoy my Saturdays again, whoever the manager may be. The future will then take care of itself.

 

[Silky Sabella]

I’d be ok with United being Oli Norwoods first managers job.

I don't think Norwood is a bad consideration at all. A thinking player could lead to a thinking manager ,

 

[BangorBlade]

Nunos now free having been sacked at florist

 

[Ron_Justice]

F**k it, all in:

Once Billy retires:

DoF - Wilder
Manager - Monty
Assistant - Billy

NB:This is a thread about Bladey Bladesness. I don't actually want this to happen. Well, maybe a little.

 

[Loco Blade]

Florist just booted Nuno out . Discuss ? Met him in the St Paul’s hotel once proper nice bloke and how he managed to polish the turd that is Forest why not consider him

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Yes, the bloke that guided Forest into Europe is going to seriously look at a club that's bottom of the Championship.

Put the deludamol down.

 

[DaJust]

Forrest were nowhere near Europe 5 years ago. Every team has a chance with ambitious owners, oh wait a minute that's not us

 

[TJB.]

Next Bladey Blade manager? Rob Page.

His managerial record is thoroughly underwhelming.

Meaning he's a shoe-in.

 

[Old Programme seller]

Not long ago we were mentioning Monty

 

[Old Programme seller]

I can’t see past Dyche it would take something to get him here though but like Wilder he has a ‘Follow me lads’ attitude where they run through walls which plays to our Northerness. I’d imagine he’d want plenty of dosh to get him here.
