Can't see Wales not qualifying for the World Cup, by which time his stock will be even higher and he could get a mid table Premier League job at the least.

terrytini Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) I no longer give a toss. Throw all the names in a hat, or a bin, and choose one. As good a chance as any of us getting someone that wins us a game. Edited October 3, 2016 by terrytini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sherwood and garde were set up to fail. In fact looking back at sherwoods record, with the players he had at hand, he now looks like a miracle worker. Lambert has a good history of buiding teams in lower divisions, but we hounded (dont get me wrong it was a painful time)him out when the real problem was higher up. Didnt 'eck' even get the scum promoted? There's no simple answer is there? Whoever comes in now is effectively using another mans tools to do the job, and whilst its great to have an ambitious owner, it doesnt exactly lift the pressure in helping this brand new team come together.

So ambitious he went to Sunderland and repeated the mistakes he made here. He is another of yesterday's men, his methods and football belong in another era and so does he. He is in semi retirement with Ireland and I don't see that changing and hope it doesn't to see him return to B6. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomvilla7 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'd take MON too... but not the spectacled one. I want Michael O'Neill. Surely he must realise that he can't do much better with NI and this would be a good chance for him.

Jareth Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 This job is a huuuuuuuge opportunity for someone. Tony has now demonstrated the type of owner he is and there will be managers like Dyche (please, please, please) who will take a second look now they know there are funds a plenty at villa.

tinker Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 3 minutes ago, dubliner said: He got them promoted, kept them in the Premier League in his first season and had a few bad results in the second Premier League season. As soon as they sacked him it went pear shaped with two successive relegations. Also got Ireland through a group with Holland and Portugal unbeaten to get to the 2002 World Cup. Not saying he's the best out there, but the evidence is there that Wolves were better off sticking with him (which IMO is also the case with us and Lambert) I agree on Lambert, he did do rather well when you consider what came after. The Dr has one hell of a job to do picking a new manager, its a worry especially if uses the same selection technique used for RDM, who on paper looked good. Think he needs to really look at how anyone short listed has handled the squads on a day to day basis, how the team have played over a number of games, actually watch their teams past performances to make sure their balanced teams to start with and that tactical changes during the matches are successful. Also get some information on how he handles the players behind the scenes, if they respect him and if he can cope with losing a few games. Do they pick a team with players in their natural positions, not playing strikers in the midfield , assemble a squad that is balanced in all areas and ones that minimizes injury risks all with their given budget. Anyone watching our set pieces, over the past few seasons, could have seen the real lack of proper preparation on the training ground, our throw ins have been next to hopeless giving possession away time after time, corners terrible, hardly any goal threat of even consistency in who takes them or the type of delivery. This indicates a lack of leadership, we can all see it but the managers seem to have missed it or haven't prioritized it. Dr do not panic, take a real good look at the managers we can get and check their teams performances out using logical and thorough methods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youve failed to mention how well ROI did this summer - even with the handicap of ciaran clarke in the squad. And we managed to offload him to newcastle, so just think what a force we'd be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Managers who would get us promoted. Thats the bottom line. Anyone else is a gamble. Forget about their style of play or history. We can sack them once we get to prem.
