New Manager Thread

[Peter Venkman]

Fucking. Uninspiring. That is all.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

A very classy player in his day and no doubts that would reflect in the way his teams play but for whatever reason he's become a journeyman in management so wouldn't expect him to stay long

That may explain why he hasn't really settled down anywhere!

Not sure I'd want to judge a manager based on oppo forums, we know from our own online presence the quality of analysis can be, erm, variable.

Tbf, though, Wigan fans must be well pissed off with how things have panned out with being in administration and seeing their squad decimated. Chuck in a defeat at home by a non league club and it’s a perfect storm.

Can’t say I particularly want him here - rumours he fought with his own players at a jolly at a racecourse - but if his only job is to keep us in L1 this season, I think he could do that.

Good news with a raft of injured players on the brink of a return.

Still prefer Sol of the 2.

Good point but I am intrigued why he's has so many clubs

Campbell looks the riskier of the two by far for me. Doesn't mean he wouldn't be any good, but he looks riskier. Sheridan looks like a solid, possibly uninspiring, keep you up and review at the end of the season appointment. Mind, so did Paul Hart.

Hart & Malpas what a boring time to watch STFC😁

Have a read on Wiki which seems to have a summary in each case. Seems to be a combination of itchy feet and being a bit of a prick in summary, not sure if I would want him here, especially after it appears that Hunt is introducing some of his own ideas which are possibly working.

Assuming Town manage to get Sheridan...

It strikes me as nothing more than an 'end of the season' rolling contract kind of appointment. Proper jobs for the boys stuff (not rare in football recruitment) as Sheridan was Wellens' mentor and has worked many times with Tommy Wright.

This, to me, feels like a 'death rattle' appointment by a regime who are not looking to be here for the long-term and I know we already knew that Power is looking for an out but this kind of appointment really feels like the end.

Hopefully that'll mean any new buyer would be enticed by the fact that they'll be able to bring their own staff in (I appreciate that this is only a small percentage of why a consortium takes over a football club).

Just don’t fancy another dour-faced, miserable twat as manager. Cooper, Flitcroft, even Wellens wasn’t exactly a barrel of laughs.

Sol hasn’t had a chance at either Macclesfield or Sarfend . Anyway, I like chips!

That is an excellent summary. Not thought of it in those terms.

Well put together and you may have it spot on

I think your analysis is spot on Rich.
