Robbie Fowler was really poor at Brisbane Roar
There would be some excellent Australian coaches that could and would be far better.
But why look past Wellens if its correct that Power wanted the comp money and got him out !!!
No brainer get him back with Clem
Stay well and COYMRs
He won the league's manager of the month award in Jan and Feb 2020 and left in March 2020 due to covid - a 45% win ratio. Doesn't look poor on the face of it! The article doesn't really say anything that says he's a poor manager, just a scouser taking everything he's "due" |

The adver piece states that he wants to prove himself in the English game as a stepping stone
"It is thought he now wants to follow in the footsteps of former teammate Steven Gerrard and earn his stripes as a coach further down the pyramid before stepping into a high-profile job in the future."
So the Adver is equating managing little old Rangers with rocking up at SN1.  |

And no he didn't leave a club that became successful afterwards due to his hard work prior to his sacking.
Sorry to disappoint

The results and team were really poor in a poor league
A 45% win rate says otherwise. I know it's not the only metric that counts, but it certainly does not support the notion that results were poor. |

So the Adver is equating managing little old Rangers with rocking up at SN1. Agreed totally different but there is a similarity in that when Gerrard went to Rangers the pressure was off. They were miles behind Celtic at the time having spent a few years in the lower leagues, so all he had to do was get a side that was competitive with everyone else and not get spanked 4 times a season by Celtic, which was doable given the relative size of the club compared to others in the league In league 2 we are a bigger fish and most fans at the moment would take competitive and competent |

That's double the win rate we have had this season  |

Like I said, there are limited options usually availalble to get on the UK football ladder, so beggars can't be choosers if you want to hop on. |

Wellens was hardly spectacular when he rocked up here. I remember thinking he was a typical Power cheap option.

For me it’s simple:
- if power appointment it’s a disaster
- if Clem appointment it could be great

In my opinion Town must get new owners prior to any appointment of the manager.
That must happen soon and let the new owner build a back room including the manager and then hopefully a new team of players
If not we are well and truly fucked
Simple fact is time is against us

How people can moan about Fowler when we’ve had fucking Sheridan hamming it up for months is beyond me. I can virtually think of nobody that could be appointed who wouldn’t be better than that twat.

Surely Sheridan was put there to do a job and he did it well
Job was to take the pressure off Power which he did fucking well...
Any manager with any credability would have walked far earlier and Power would have then been in the gun.
Rest assured Power knew what he was doing Im sure
