Oh shit you're right
Lamouchi is available.
After having had seen what happens at CCFC maybe they all think they've moved on up.
Yet compare that to us - when has any manager we have ever had go on to better things ? I cant think of anyone
Other than Ole Phil Neale is the only other one that springs to mind.
Len Ashurst went to Sunderland. Took them to a League Cup final, but relegation as well!
Does any manager know the players until they get here
Can any manager work with ‘Vinnys constraints’
I personally think you’re wrong and many foreign managers have come over and been a success and many British managers have failed
We have discussed this recently.
It was Len Ashurst back in 1983 (or 85, I can’t remember now)
Embarrassing.
I go all of the way back to 1963 and I can only think of Ashurst who definitely moved “upwards”. Frank O’Farrell left to become manager of Iran in the mid 70s which is probably a step up, but I don’t think Frank Burrows and Phil Neal leaving to become a number two is.
Going back before my time, I’m not aware of any of our managers being”poached” by bigger clubs either.
Frank O’Farrell’s move to Iran was a strange one and similar to Revie going to the UAE a few years later, especially as he had only been at Cardiff City for 5 months which is just pathetic.
I presume that it was financially motivated as Iran was a footballing backwater at the time and his managerial career after that was certainly not at Championship level.
We should wait until the Jacks appoint a new manager and then offer to double his money if he comes to us.
Bang on
We can't afford to
that could backfire if the jacks know what our plan is
We are getting Mark Hughes. No need to bitch about it, that's just how it will be.
Agreed, a move to manage an international team for the man in charge of a struggling Second Division team is career advancement I suppose, but you've set out why I still think it's arguable as to whether it was really an upward step for O'Farrell in this instance - a sideways one maybe, but, as you say, money must have been the main motive for the move,
I'd take that.
Me too, with Bamba and Purse continuing to learn the ropes.
yes this makes a lot of sense
A little birdie told me that forest will be sacking Cooper in the next few weeks and he will be coming here upon that sacking
Announcement can’t be made until July 1st
Just to point out I’ve completely made this up
You should have at least waited for wales online (or at least the other board) to run that as an exclusive before spoiling it.
Spoil sport.
Hi wales online by the way!
Fair play to you. I'm going to make something up as well. John Terry with Jody Morris as his assistant.
Vinnie is going to do it himself
But it will never happen…..TAn
