New Manager Poll

[Arriba]

if byrne gets the results then i dont have a problem with him keeping the job.the lads seem to give that bit more for him,so effort isn't a problem.
i would say he makes massive gambles during games and so far it hasn't backfired on him.it will one day and the fans reaction would be interesting then.i can already imagine what will be said and it wont be nice.
as for dv's comment about the names mentioned.we wont know unless one of them gets the job.

Based on what? 10 minutes of 1 game last Saturday.

And the games when he was previously in charge (when he didn't have half the squad out with injuries).

And Dave I think you have to count the Forest game as one of Byrne's, just as the FGR game wasn't really.

...still waiting for Bart's reply to my question...

[jayohaitchenn]

Changed my vote to Byrne. I really like the guy and think he would do a great job.

[leefer]

Stupid question...but ware is the result of this poll up to now?

[jayohaitchenn]

At the top of each page of the thread! That was a stupid question.

I don't disagree that Byrne might be able to do a decent job, but I think the appointment of the next manager goes beyond merely getting someone in that can do the job. The next man needs to be able to galvanise the whole club, excite fans and bring those still not willing to return back. It should be someone the players really look up to - like Hoddle, Ossie and to a lesser extent, Wise did. Byrne may have contacts but he's not going to be able to attract players like a Boothroyd.

We all disagree with who the best man is, but there's no doubting Holloway or Boothroyd would be more of an exciting appointment.

I think if the board appoint Byrne they've really missed a trick. This is the biggest opportunity this club has to really turn a corner. I can't remember a time when fans were so united behind the board, with the right managerial appointment this could be the start of something really big... Byrne would strike me as a cheap option, much like King or Iffy.

[juddie]

and yeah, come on Bart. I don't always disagree with what you say, but this is your chance to show you actually have a reasoned opinion, other than criticising everything everyone does. who do you want and why?

Im inclined to agree - the cheap boring option didnt work with Malpas so we need to oooff it up a bit - get all those dilly dallying 2nd installment non payers back!! (OK so I havent paid mine yet but thats more down to poorness!)

[jayohaitchenn]

Juddie, what if Byrne wins the next 4 on the trot? I think he would have the majority of fans behind him then.

[juddie]

I'd be surprised if he has four games, tbh. But, you're right, it would pose a huge problem for the board, assuming they would have interviewed some 'bigger' names.

Out of every name mentioned Jay, do you want Byrne, honestly?

If Byrne won four on the trot I still think it's a short-term approach to a long-term problem. If this three-year plan is to work we need a man who can not only consolidate our position this season, but also a man who can take us up and beyond, and raise the profile of the club so the fans come back. Byrne, IMO opinion, is not that man, just as Malpas wasn't...

[leefer]

Well..should a future manager be judged on 4 matches...i like him but is he really a manager....more of a fella in the John Gorman mould i think.

[janaage]

Agree with Juddie.  It really isn't anything personal against DB, just don't see him as the man to get this club going.  The club needs something a little extra.

[Tails]

Just to make it clear that I don't actually want Byrne. It wouldn't be the end of the world if he did come though.
