New Manager Thread

[Nemo]

I have a lot of time for what I think was the conclusion of the discussion from the LS chaps on Monday's pod: ordinarily we might want an exciting up and coming appointment in the mode of Wellens, but this season, in these circumstances, we just need someone to steady the ship and keep us up. If we get to next season, then we can maybe look at the options afresh.

Being easily influenced, I went away from the pod thinking that we should get John McGreal, despite the fact that I don't think I would have thought of him if asked to name 100 candidates beforehand.

Exactly mate.

The manager's going to be Hunt or someone Jewell knows and wants to work with, isn't it?

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I wonder what sort of wage Jewell is getting and does Power need him on the payroll if he gets a decent manager in

I am sure I heard in an interview with Power previously that Jewell was not on our wage bill and was doing it as some sort of favour to Power, expenses only deal.

I am 99% certain thats what Power said, that was not long after Wellens joined us IIRC.

I remember the interveiw started with....."listen Shaun....."

Power originally wanted Jewell as manager but he wasn’t interested and recommended Wellens.

Cheers Pete I don't remember that one even though I listen to most of the interviews over the years

I may be wrong but vaguely remember health reasons being mentioned

It’s “Shawn”

It’s “Shawn”

So many spellings 

[Power to people]

It does seem that Jewell will be the one recommending names, hopefully he has some decent names to choose from.

One name I heard banded about was Michael Carrick, I'm in 2 minds on this, I suspect with his experience of the game and having already started on the coaching ladder he might make a good manager, while he is inexperienced in management if he brought with him a couple of experienced coaches that know the lower leagues (lets face it Wright & Hunt will follow Wellens) it may work.

On the flip side I'm sure someone like Carrick would not drop to this sort of level anyway and would want to go into a club with no money but it's an example, and at this time would it be to much of a risk even if he was interested.

I don't want a jobbing lower league manager that see's it as another managers job, I'd much prefer someone (like Wellens) that has something to prove and wants to make a name for himself in the game and wants to go on to manage at a higher level, and the only way of doing that is to prove themselves.

I'm expecting someone like Owen Coyle though or steve cotterill who only manages at lower levels and seems to have an expiry of about 18 months.

Agreed...but that might be the person to keep us up.

Names like Carrick are a pipe dream in the current climate

Unless they need to get on the management merry go round and do it for nothing
