danceoftheshamen Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very interesting read here http://tinyurl.com/34k9zq6 Graham Taylors thoughts on the Manager situation Is basically saying he thinks it's time to move on from the typical all embracing manager to a head coach with some of the responsibilities such as money, transfers etc dealt with by someone else. He think KM would be a good choice as he is unsure about the candidates who are avaliable & others are tied up elsewhere i.e. Hughes & Jol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanWA Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Seems McLeish has had a falling out with the Scum over pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i like the way he sees it as a potential opportunity to tighten the ship & challenge the top 4 properly but also sees the potential dangers too!

Cizzler Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 For God's sake, lets stop trying to talk ourselves into being okay with the choice of Alan **** Curbishley. This is the same manager that Zamora, Koncheskey and another ex-spammers Fulham player (Pantsil :/ ?) threatened to strike over if appointed to replace Hodgson. Talk to West Ham fans about him. Only Brown is worse. If O'Neill had left at the end of last season Hughes, Hodgson and McClaren would be realistic candidates, now they are pipe dreams. And managers of that class shouldn't be. It's not like we're asking for Mourinho, Fergie, Wenger. MON really has left us balls deep in shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted September 1, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2010 Very good read, and I have to say I agree with absolutely everything Graham Taylor said! I have totally the opposite view. Sounds like he is pitching himself for a DoF job and is embarassing. I really now hope KM gets the job and makes everyone eat their words.

snowychap Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Slightly off topic but why should we assume that the departure of O'Neill necessarily meant that the other members of staff needed to go? Robertson and Walford I can quite understand but why the goalkeeping coach and why the scout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as a winner, , The players get to keep their beloved KMAC, KMAC gets to continue his beloved "coaching", either being Head Coach or Assistant manager. He gets to help the new Incumbent etc with the runnings of the club, and hopefully the new incumbent will be that name who can both attract the larger players, have sound financial dealings, expand the scouting network etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Like him or not, Curbishley is highly qualified and available. This alone is a reason for Randy to interview him and seriously consider him. If Randy is serious about the wellbeing of the club he will want to be thorough and listen to what people like Curbishley have to say about their vision for the club - if only to have some point of comparison for other candidates. After all, knowing what you don't want is often as important as knowing what you do want. At the end of the day, if Curbishley got the job it would be because he was able to articulate and sell a vision for the club and its future that is on the same page as Randy's - and if Randy feels that he is the man to take us forward and a man with whom he can work closely, then it would be a good thing for the club - as long as Curbs can deliver on his vision. At this point in time though, having an interview merely means he is one of the stronger candidates, not the favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I really can't believe people still think it's anyone other than Kevin MacDonald. We leave it three weeks to see if he wants the job. He then publicly announces he wants job. OS highlight this fact. Players all clamour for him to be signed. Very easy (and cheap!) for Lerner to appoint him. It's a done deal. BUT don't make that obvious to the public. Look like you're going through the options, look like you're exploring every avenue. Pretend you would have had money for transfers if the transfer window hadn't been closed on announcement of new manager. Finally leave it at least a few days/ week until after transfer window has closed to try to dampen down any suggestions of previous comment. I'll quite happily eat my words but I'm convinced this is the case. Villa want to reduce the wage bill.... mmm, very lucky inexperienced guy desperate for a job in the top division or someone like Sven who may demand a reasonably high wage.... tricky.... :notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I know McLeish is tainted ( ), but I would take him over Curbishley any day. In fact he'd be my choice ahead of Hughes, Sven, Allardyce and probably KM. Don't understand the deathly silence every time his name is mentioned. He's ambitious, has a good record, and lives locally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I think that McLeish should be considered, he is better than most people mentioned for the job lately and is highly thought of by Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that he had a row with his chairman over a new deal for himself, could he not have done this BEFORE the transfer window closed, and he signed Hleb, so he could have signed for us.
