Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, February 27, 2006, 20:43:28 ....ambition is to manage a Div 3 or 4 side.
Reckons he just needs to get the hang of the transfer market and he'll be ready.....what da ya reckon? Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, February 27, 2006, 20:45:59 no thanks!

Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 27, 2006, 20:48:13 Hmmm. The problem is that he has little experience in the game of football, but as a manager of a sports team he's damn good. I think he'd be alright tbh - he'd certainly sort out poor discipline and define team roles well. Whether anyone will take him on is a different matter.

You sure....reckons given 3 years he could turn a club into a winning force..its all aboiut attention to detail....like not letting your players out on the lash the night before a game.

I disagree. I think he knows quite a bit about football and the fact he won't model himself on past experiences (in football) might work in his favour (or prove his downfall). He worked wonders for the rugby team and geared up to the world cup over those few years. Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

How much do you need to know about the game in order to get players to mark at corners etc.....something that seems beyond our lot right now. Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: aroundthefur on Monday, February 27, 2006, 20:58:16 I think Woodward would make an excellent director of football where he had total control regarding higher level decisions and had a team of coaches working under him on the more day-to-day aspects.

I'd have thought the other way around? Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, February 27, 2006, 20:59:49 it would bring us a lot of media attention as well i suppose. but he wont want our crap wages!

That's seems to be his favoured modus operandi....but in lower league football, who could afford the battery of coaches etc. Bit like when Diaz was at the scum he had a staff of 7 with him. Title: Sir Clive Woodward... Post by: aroundthefur on Monday, February 27, 2006, 21:11:10 Which is probably why Woodward is not suited to lower division football because it is debateable whether the resources are there to allow his style of management to flourish.
Ben Wah Balls: Parkinson is all but a Championship manager now. :wink: Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

Would this not be something Iffy is doing on the training ground?I'd imagine so, yet we've conceded 3 to a team that hasn't scored from a corner for 2 seasons apparently. Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

Player manager? I'll get me coat :mrgreen: Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

Post by: el duque on Wednesday, April 26, 2006, 11:59:36 I think that Swindon Town would be ideally suited to SCW. He has worked at a small club (London Irish) as a coach prior to moving to the England job. They have always been a low budget team.
He knows how to get the best out of players, bringing through young players like Declan Dannaher whilst constrained by the tight budget at London Irish, and turning good players into World Champions. He also knows how to get the best out of coaches... The same group of England coaches who now face the sack, managed to help win the world cup under SCW. The only possible downsides that I can think of are: Arrogance: The Lions tour should have sorted that out! Wants to be in control: This should not be a problem at Swindon, since it is often difficult to tell just who (if anyone) is in control at the moment. Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

It'll be Flintoff for captain? Minds you, he'd drink even our lasheads under the table. Title: Sir Clive Woodward...

JEEEEZZ ! To be honest, he's good at getting a bunch of blokes on a field to do something with an inflated bit of leather. To make the transition to football, he'll need to get a bunch of blokes on a field to do something slightly different with a slightly different inflated bit of leather... I don't imagine that a man like him would find that transition too difficult. In fact, I think that a slightly different background would probably yield a fresh approach and new ideas to the game, and would be an advantage if anything. |
