The Proper Manager Thread - Sponsored by Audrey

Nothing is certain in football but I believe choosing Morris over Artell would be a big mistake. I think Artell would lead Swindon Town to promotion this season or next. Jody Morris might turn out to be a brilliant choice but he wouldn't have been a risk I'd have taken if I was in the boardroom.

Thanks for your input but we have enough naysayers of our own here without supporters of other teams throwing their negativity about thank you very much!

So if Morris comes in with his choice of assistant, where does that leave Gunning? How far down the pecking order will he drop? Is his retention a ‘must’ for the club? Wouldn’t like to see him sidelined.

The difference between appointing Morris or Artell is that I could see Artell staying for a few seasons. If Morris gets quick success he’ll be off quicker than a whore’s drawers.

Same with every other manager in STFC history

If he gets us promoted he's welcome to fuck off wherever he wants as far as i'm concerned.

Gunning will just slot back into the position he held before Lindsey left.

It's definitely true that if we do appoint Morris and he is an instant success and leads us to immediate promotion and say a solid start in league 1 next season that he will obviously be on the radar of championship/premier league sides given his history of coaching at a high level. Unfortunately that's the nature of the beast for us at this level, Morris will almost certainly see us a stepping stone onto a bigger club and that's something that we have to be prepared for.

But I don't think you appoint your second or third choice managers for this reason do you? If the board see Morris as the man to get us promoted this season and onwards then you have to take that punt, surely?

Head coach/Defensive coach wasn't he?

[Quagmire]

Lindsey jumped ship 5 months.
Garner jumped ship after 12 months
Wellens jumped ship after 18 months
Flitcroft jumped ship after 6 months

Sturrock, Wise, Hoddle….

If Morris does a good job, and leaves, he will just become one of many to do so.

Believe so.
Day was ‘assistant’. So he will just slot back in you would think.

Maybe we appoint with future compo in mind. Been a good little earner lately.

and a couple that haven't even been successful. weirdly enough.

I think you have to. Especially as there is a chance if he's a success he could potentially be considered for Premier league sides. Make them pay to have him for sure. Muhahahaha

[dalumpimunki]

 Hold on.... I thought our penny pinching board were just stalling to justify going for the cheap option?

This suggests all that might have just been bitter old fuckers catastrophising on the basis of no evidence at all. Surely not?

Chewing the fat on future compo on Jody Morris's future walk out...understandably, gloriously, Townend.Com-ly  "previous"

It does make the Scott Lindsey appointment even more baffling though. Because if it wasn't because he was a cheap option then what the fuck were they thinking?
