New Manager Thread

[Tails]

Can't even get East Bengal FC to the playoffs. No thanks!

Was manager of Brisbane Roar. Currently in India.

Not sure what to think of that

According to Wiki that was going quite well before Covid hit. Has done some coaching at Liverpool also.

ou would imagine he has good contacts in the game, done all his badges, clearly has a good business brain given his property portfolio so you would imagine he wouldn't work with Power, but could help in making Power money with his houses around the Training Ground etc if he was to fuck off out of the club.

Putting 2 and 2 together but I assume that he knows Clem. I think this ticks a lot of the managerial boxes. Will keep my socks on but reasonbly happy with this should it come off.

Or Power has found another source of funding and intends to stay?

That's more concerning. I suspect however his time is up as he surely can't carry on given how unpopular he is? Although I suspect he doesn't really give a shit what people think of him.

I cant see why any potential manager would consider a job at STFC under the current climate. Mind you, it could be that news of the ongoing shenanigans haven't reached East Bengal yet. After all, its barely reached the national press here

Ah the Toxteth Prowler...

Movement on manager suggests something is happening behind the scenes.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

On the other hand word may be out there that a takeover is imminent and potential managers may see this as an exciting project on their CV

It's hardly a secret that a takeover is likely.

Echoing statements from others but Power appointing a new manager is a concern.

Fowler is a name for sure, but he has never struck me as the managerial type in any of the punditry he did, and for him to have to go where he has to get a break also raises questions for me. Still, guess it would depend on any number 2 he brought with him, presumably to sort the defence.

Given we all believed the Evans rumour was crap and for Evans to get more money at Gillingham then i'm not sure we necessarily have to believe this. There is probably another angle at play, perhaps Fowler just wants a return to England and this is signalling his availability to others.

I've always thought it was Power that feeds the info to Nixon, so if the Fowler thing is legitimate then it does raise concerns about Power's continued involvement in some guise....

so BBC wilts now reporting talks have happened.

I hope it's takeover related, and that the fat controller hasn't scammed more cash from somewhere

“Currently in India.” Is he? Doubt he’d be back before the next season starts under current circumstances.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

Could also explain the transfer rumour of Gary Hooper who is/was plying his trade in India.

I honestly can’t imagine Power is anything but a busted flush now.

Fowler likes his gee-gees too.

That's even more worrying as they are basically Power's spokesman.....
