Manager Latest

He was a gambler when he appointed MM though surely?

MM was a learning curve and definately a lesson learnt that no matter how good a coach you are on paper, in football, you also need to be a motivator.

Good business people are allowed to make mistakes, what makes an exceptional business person, is the ability to learn from the mistake and not repeat it which is exactly why they are taking their time over the next appointment to ensure we don't again end up with second best

I was out up in Old Town tonight and saw Paul Sturrock, or (more likely) someone who looked like him.

 I was out in OT last night and didn't see PS...he does still have a house here and a son to visit, so quite likely.

Fitton has said that he needs to apply a standard business model to the club and other clubs haven't done that and that is why so many are in the shit. If he has a mangagerial budget why would he blow it? He would then need to make cuts elsewhere.

Hockaday equals another mega Malpas-esque gamble. No thanks.

Right now I'd take anyone with league management experience, Andy King has got to be available for such a role anyway, sign him up.

But running a football club is a different kettle of fish.

Bit like buying a house really!

I don't understand all the dithering over appointing a new manager. There is no magic formula to appointing a succesful one you've just got to go with some one who has a proven track record.
He might as well of put Holloway's, Dowie and Money's name in a hat and picked one out.

Except there's no cmpensation for two of them, so we chose the third!

Someone needs to tell Fitton he's not recruiting for a business but for a football club. He needs to know that you cannot take 5 weeks or more looking for a manager if the team is as bad as it has been. We all know he wants to make the right choice but most clubs would have appointed Holloway 3 weeks ago and i believe we should have just done the same. Of course we must trust that AF will get it right but it's getting to the point now where i'd take any manager (except King, Iffy and Malpas of course).

well leeds have just sacked their manager!

Rumour on the Leeds sites that Gary Speed is lined up.

[dell boy]

I've just looked again nothing about McAllister being sacked only they expected it.
If he has gone and Speed goes to Leeds, maybe this was the hitch in Fittons plan.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

McAllister will be the next name linked then. Ince will get the Leeds job i reckon.

There's no way that will ever happen.

It's already up  on the Leeds official site that he's been "relieved of his duties",due to their bad

run of 5 consecutive defeats and that they want a new manager, who will be able to deal with

the impending january transfer window.

[Rich Pullen]

I'd be suprised if Leeds went for the popular former player option again. From what I've read it appears that Speed isn't interested in us anyway.
