The Next Manager Will Define Our Next Decade

[robbiez666]

We're currently is a healthy situation with financial support and in terms of debt.I can't imagine the prince will hang around if we appoint a manager who doesn't take us up. Get the right manager and support him and this could be a very good period for the club. Appoint the wrong one and we could end up being in a mess for years.

This is one heck of a big decision for the Board to make.

Really? We've sen today that the new man has ONE YEAR.

No promotion then it's curtains. We only have 12 months to wait for the next new broom.

I think he'll get the best part of two years. Similar to Clough.

So just like when we appointed Robson, and Wilson, and Weir.

Clough got one full season. Why would the new man get/expect anymore?

Jobs an absolute poison chalice under current situation.

Fixed my post.

I just can't see a distant and otherwise occupied owner being prepared to keep shelling out comp and for new players, if he has nothing to show for his investment.

19 months.

In 19 months time if the club looks to be moving the right way it will be an improvement. You know just some basic ingredients.

But it isn't 19 months is it?

In 19 months we've gone from the relegation zone in L1 to the play-offs.
The fact a lot of that was done in the first 7 months (and built on sand with Maguire, Cody and Brayford as integral to the success) is what's done for Clough.

The next man is starting from 5th and play off failure. That means, the only way we'll be heading in the "right direction" is if we have to get promoted. Today's decision says it has to be curtains if we don't.

sorry but i don't agree with this.. if we end up in fifth and lose in the playoffs again.. BUT if we show an enthusiastic and consistent approach and we play entertaining football and give it a really good go then i don't think there will be the same complaints.. it is the management style that has done for Clough. if that is his style then we are going nowhere. you can't keep falling out with all of your staff like that if you want to be a team in any walk of life

Playing style, management style and quality of signings particularly key positions in the "spine".

Let's start by signing a few black men too, plenty good players are black.

Progression for me doesn't just mean promotion. As you say, if we were bringing promising young players through and playing well, but just fell short, then that's progress. I like what Southampton did.

Jeez SP, nearly 7k of posting on here and you don't think they'll be calling for the next man to go if we fail in the play-offs?????

I was really disappointed with most of the games I saw last season and some quite frankly bizarre management. However, we finished higher than the previous season for the first time in half a decade and made a cup semi final. Tell me, looking from the outside (which is where I hope a new manager has been looking from), that that doesn't look like progress and, therefore, an impossible job to come to if it ends in the sack.

Promotion or sack for whoever wants it. Most managers will want a 3 year contract knowing full well they'll be on to a winner either way.
