“We want a bold, brave British type. Throw the ball out to the full-backs, play the ball, pass the ball and that’s what we need and it’s not easy. We can’t rush this one."

Was anyone else expecting that sentence to end with the words 'jumpers for goalposts'?

Marvellous

So they are choosing the tactics too ;)

Cooperman, just like that.

Charles, Charlie Charles for manager!

Bobby Houghton is an interesting one, who he?

Ex Bristhole Shitty manager who did very well at Malmo getting them to the European Cup final against Nottingham Florists, a bit ageing now but would be good, never hit it off in this country as a manager but well respected all across Scandanavia.

Has also been manager of China, Uzbekistan and India national teams.

Just done a Wiki search, he's managed more clubs/teams that Razor Ruddock has had hot dinners!

Certainly would be an interesting choice.

 Bloody Tans, trolling again.  Get back to your real job, polishing fire engines!! :girlgiggle:

We just need to sign Julio Geordio now.

So he's used to dealing with almighty overlords who prescribe everything he can and can't do?

" ...a shortlist of 10 ... we've spoken to 3"

Not exactly in a hurry then. Do you think they know the season starts in 9 days time?

There's more to Scandinavia than Sweden.

If we wanted to go down the route of a successful Scandinavian then we should turn out attentions to Egil Olsen. Poor record in difficult circumstances at Wimbledon but has a good record here, managed the Iraqi national side so shouldn't have issues with the current board and is a declared communist which as a philosophy could work with our young and eager squad.

I was surprised to hear Houghton is still around...he either immediately pre or post dated Hodgson at the 82ers, when they were taking their comedy descent to the basement, from Div 1 in consecutive seasons.

After the fascist, the communist, seems fair to me.

So according to that we haven't spoken to Tisdale then, I thought we had spoken to him twice?

From the wording I take it that we had PREVIOUSLY spoken to Tisdale twice not in relation to this vacancy.

Houghton's success at Malmo had a lot to do with their goalkeeper, Jan Moller (Houghton signed him at Shitty and elsewhere too I think). His teams favoured playing the offside trap and counter attacking football I seem to recall. Or, to put it another way, he's a poor man's Roy Hodgson.

I think this was one of the 'advertiser understands' statements.

I wonder how many would throw their toys out the pram at that?

A Communist?!?!?

I'm leaving and never coming back. How dare the club appoint a communist!

 :sherlock:

All of the Di Canio fans, I presume.

The communist thing doesn't bother me.

The Shitty link doesn't bother me.

Its the old shit manager thing than bothers me!

PdC has few fans left on here...they could live with the fascism, but resorting to social democratic employment laws has proved a bridge too far.

Its been close to 2 weeks now and we've spoken to 3 people? Getting a manager should be more of a priority than that for me.

What's your view on him out of interest Reg?

Not sure that appointing a manager can be done in a short timescale. I think its more important we get the right man, rather than appointing the first person that looks half decent.

The fans would be up in arms if we quickly appointed someone who was going to be Malpas Mk2.

Cooper has been involved in most of pre-season, I suspect he'll be in temporary charge until we find the right man.

'Bold, Brave British Type'

That sounds like Stuart Pearce.

Undoubtedly a complex individual, in many ways a typical fascist, believing in strong leadership, and that all the workers (fans) and masses (fans) need to do is believe and follow...dissent is not acceptable. Fascism can have short term success, Mussollini got the trains running on time, PdC won us Div 4.

This

Sam has been saying he doesn't think it will be most of the favourites listed.

Cooperman, just like that.

That's the third time you've posted that, twice in this thread alone.

Here's a reward for your efforts:

 :D

Stop trying to make cooperman happen.

It's not going to happen

So if they're taking their time, one hopes the end result won't leave us disappointed!
