Sacked by MKD last night... got to be worth a look.

iffy is staying!

If someone of Wilson's calibre is available and we have a feasible chance of actuallyh getting him in, we'd be fucking silly to overlook him.

aids anyone?

May as well get Wilson, we have all the other ex City team!

As a general manager, maybe

no thanks

Id rather not, if were really going to invest in a new manager i think we can look alot further than Danny fuckin Wilson

In terms of available and affordable talent to manage a team in the bottom 2 leagues, I think Dany Wilson is exactly the sort of person who'd just about be in the picture.  And that for me is the crux to this get someone experienced in to take over from Iffy debate - this is the kind of person we could stretch to, and even then we'd be paying more than we have before because Wilson does comman a fair wage.

By all mean want a new Manager, for those that do, but have some common sense about what market we are pulling from.

Not really. Can't see a big lot of difference between iffs and danny to be honest, apart from their history obviously. If we were get to get a new manager, surely we would push the boat out more than that? No disrespect to danny! It sounds like iffys staying for the time being though, thats good enough for me.

Out of sher preference i wouldnt want to see danny wilson in charge, simple as

I'd rather keep Iffy to be honest

Apart from Barnsley he has been pretty shit everywhere else....

Nah, not interested in Danny boy.  The only person I would be interested in other than Iffy would be Holloway.

i'd rather him than holloway but iffy should be given a fair crack at it

 :nod:

Would be very disappointed to see Wilson here TBH.

God you lot, let's get real.

Iffy's not up to it, Holloway will probably get a job at a higher level than League 2, and Wilsons won promotions and consistantly had City up in the top 3.

Wilson has won, one promotion?....and what 3/4 relegations?

Consistantly, had money, spent it...got city into the top 3 and still couldnt get them promoted...

Didn't he take Wednesday up after Barnsley? Not sure. And the playoffs are a complete lottery, we know that as well as anyone.

Didn't spend any money in his season at City or at MKD, where he did brilliantly to keep them up last season and nearly did it again.

What a superbly persuasive argument David.  I have taken your advice and got real.  As a result I now think Danny Wilson should be our manager. 8)

:|  You're losing your wit, OST.

Never! :shock:

It's a fine art, repartee. So I'm told.

what about gettins malcom? crosby back, as he mite be out of a job soon, to add experience and get the player fit!

Wednesday only won their first promotion in god knows how many years last season, which I'm pretty sure Danny Wilson didnt play a part in. He got sacked from Sheffield Wednesday and they went down....

Play offs are a lottery, but with the City team he had he shouldnt have needed that lottery

In 1998-99, Wilson guided Sheffield Wednesday to a respectable 12th place in the Premiership and had hopes for a top half finish the following season. But he was sacked the following March, having led the club only toward relegation.

In June 2000, Wilson was appointed manager of Division Two Bristol City on a four-year contract. His contract expired at the end of the 2003-04 season, and was not renewed because he had failed to achieve promotion after several poor seasons.

In December 2004, Wilson was named as the new manager of the controversial Coca Cola League One side Franchise. In his first season, he manged to save the club from relegation - they would have gone down had it not been for a 10-point penalty imposed on Wrexham who had gone into receivership.

Wilson was unable to save Franchise from relegation to League Two at the end of the 2005-06 season, and he was sacked on May 10, 2006.

0 promotions.

*edit - sorry, 1 promotion with Barnsely before going to Sheff Weds...

Still not an inspiring CV

i'd rather have aids than wilson as manager.

i'd also still rather we left iffy to have a summer to build a squad he wants to have next season and judge him on that next year

I'd second that. Judging Iffy as manager on the ups and downs of last season on and off the pitch is not a fair reflection.

FUCK NO!

One decent season with Barnsley and a fucking disaster ever since.

He got a few mentions the other night in the UEFA cup final.  

The man is a legend and maybe just the tonic needed to give Iffy a lift in the experience stakes.

Absolute Gent and a half and top notch cone gatherer to boot.

Danny Wilson? Fuck off!

How do you all feel now?

Still think he's a good manager and he'll turn it round.

i've thought since he joined that he isn't all that,and my view hasn't changed.
average at best

always thought hes a quality manager and still feel exactly the same

It's only one game. He's got us some good results out of other games I wouldn't have expected to do so well in.

Well we're a average League One club. That's not an argument to support why we appointed him mind. I rate Wilson.

Lou Macari: Joined through the requirements from the sponsors to bring in a big name.
Ossie Ardiles: We were an up-and-coming force in the Championship with top flight potential
Glenn Hoddle: Same but you can argue that it was a tougher task post-scandal.
John Gorman: Re-create the Hoddle formula.
Steve McMahon: We were an underachieving Championship team.
Jimmy Quinn: Terrace favourite, cheap appointment.
Colin Todd: New board, big promises.
Andy King: Cheap option.
Roy Evans: More big promises.
Andy King: Cheap option.
Iffy Onuora: Cheap option
Dennis Wise: Start anew with a big name. The Power connection.
Paul Sturrock: He was available but left as soon as Plymouth needed a manager. Thanks Paul!
Maurice Malpas: Aced the interview, cheap option?
Danny Wilson: Became available after losing out on several targets.

I could be wrong but Danny Wilson is one of the most experienced managers at this level that won't desert you as soon as they've settled!

our aspirations are not an average league 1 team though,are they?
wilson is an ok experienced boss,but i dont think he'll ever take us up unless he's given significant funds,and even then i have my doubts he has whatit takes.
if we are an average league1 team and remain that,i'm sure he will maintain that status.

He's been given decent funds though. He's been allowed to buy some up and coming youngsters, get people in who won't have cheap wages and he must have known a decent table position could be achieved with the budget he had, otherwise to state play-offs is not ambition but stupidity.

The only restriction appears to be up front and this may or may not be because Wilson has spent a lot of the money 'improving' other areas because as proved last season, a quality striker but the whole team gets you wins.

Same here Spencer.

Anyone that can get little old Barnsley into the Premier League must be doing something right.

 Oddly Quinn wasn't a terrace favourite...one of the few strikers of recent years who always copped abuse from the South Side, after his second defection for a few bob more.

 He returned a few times as well, with Leicester, Bradford and West Ham and always got both barrels.

It's the nature of the beast, that fly by night board room types, have no real understanding of what fans are thinking.

arriba, I agree but to attract better quality managers we have to have a little more about us other than aspirations. Whether it's our history in the last few years, the clubs budget, stadium development or whatever.

As it stands we are just another League One team, despite all of the talk.

Reg, fair enough but regardless it was a familiar face in desperate times.

Bit too early to write him off isn't it. One Shit result doesn't mean he can't do it. Jesus.

And let's not forget last season.

Not one good performance and not one good result under Wilson.

We iz doomed

who has wrote him off? maybe on thisis, but i aint seen anyone on here doing so

When he does his interview he usually says what Im thinking. He tends to dissipate my rage. Unlike Malpas - complete opposite to what I was thinking, or King - embaressing drivel that belonged down the pub.

Given time I think he will consistently improve.

I think people are hitting the panic button a little early. Yesterday was a disaster, but I'm sure he will sort it out soon

he's no Paul Sturrock.

I know it wasnt a simple thing but letting him go back to Plymouth will turn out to be the biggest mistake we've made for years.

I know you cant really keep a manager who wants to leave but we should have done everything possible.

I know we couldn't have kept him but we should have done?

what COULD we have done ?


I like Wilson and think he will turn Saturday's performance on it's head

sturrock is an overated tactic free zone. glad to see the back of the prick.

could say the same thing about Wise. Them were exciting times.

Wilson will sort this out.

Like actually pay him some money at the end of the month?

I think that may have helped a tad...

To be fair, I think Wilson will be more exciting than Sturrock.

Sturrock would probably get better results out of the two. He goes for safe team selections. But he loves to get teams to sit on games, which can be dull. Its always frustrating to watch a team play against a Sturrock side, he is a bit anti football.
