New Manager Thread

[JBZ]

Should always move forwards, never back.

David Moyes at West Ham proves otherwise...

There was a point, November perhaps, where I held Sheridan, Power and Wellens jointly responsible for our incipient disastrous return to L1.

Shezza is still the past it, old man who seems to be having a breakdown.  I wish him no ill will.

All organisations can have staff whose continued presence is counterproductive and there was only one solution here.  I started to guess that Power would do nothing however and my guess was sadly confirmed by events.  Power, as we now know for certain, has shown contempt towards STFC and, it would seem everyone around him bar Shezza & Co.

I now understand Wellens.  His actions are now doubly understandable.  But he has burnt his bridges here and there can be no expectation that if he returned he could be relied upon.  Even with a new Chairman, imo.   He is the second unsuccessful STFC manager in less than 3 seasons to have left us who has gone on to be even less succesful where he thought the grass was greener.

No turning back for me.

[Power to people]

I think it depends who owns the club, if it is Clem I can see a young up and coming coach as you would hope will sell the vision of the club moving forward and his ambitions for the club in the future, and wanting to move together club, fans, players as one.

If it is Able then probably a journeyman manager as you assume  they don't know a lot about English football and will be looking for a quick fix and will probably keep Power as a 'football consultant' or put someone else in that role so will look at more experienced heads.

If it's Clem then he may go full Australian and appoint Harry Kewell.

Again, if it’s Clem I can see a ‘Luke Williams’ type, maybe already in an Academy - that is if he does what he said he wanted to do, bringing in young talent from Oz.

Never know, could be one for Lee Peacock!

This has long been my concern, but according to those close to Clem this is not in his plans (currently).

Elaborating on that point PV, do you know what any of his plans are in that area? Or just that he won't necessarily be going down the Aus route early on.

I personally don't know, I have friends of his friends, I don't personally have contact with Clem, many on here do though and may be better suited to answer that question.

And Lou Macari

[Berniman]

Wellens made the right decision for him and his family, during a Pandemic, with more knowledge and visibilty than us of the further shit storm that was about to hit the club.  There isn't one person on here that wouldn't put their family over their job/club irrelevant of what he said or how what he said was perceived.

Anyway, bigger fish to fry at the moment - let's make sure we have a club to support and then worry about who will be at the healm then.

[ronnie21]

Would have Wellens back under new ownership at a heartbeat.
Unfortunately don’t think it will happen.

heard he is going to Donny

Not sure a break of 5 days counts as a return

[Peter Venkman]

On paper sounds like a perfect job for Wellens, not too far from his home compared ro jobs in the South, an ex player, fairly well respected by their fans.

Their chairman has said they have interviewed a few managers with some recent success.

Logic suggests this to have a fairly high possibility.

It's moving back though in response to your point  Never say never
