If Bulut left, which of these available manager would you choose?

Re: If Bulut left, which of these available manager would you choose?

I'd go for Steve Cooper. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they were already talking to him. Problem is, what would the fans think, if he was appointed?

Cooper’s a City fan, his Swansea history wouldn’t bother me in the slightest - the same would apply with Potter. They’re both good managers and, maybe more importantly, coaches- I’d say Cooper in particular has a history of improving players as well. However, as I said earlier, I’d say our chances of getting either of them are negligible - even if we were willing to pay them what they wanted, there’s the would you work for Vincent Tan factor to be considered.

rather see the tea lady on the touchline. Are you a cricket supporter by any chance? i watch football to be entertained

And where has Beale done that.

Cooper is a Cardiff City fan. So was his father Keith Cooper the ex-referee. There is no conflict of interest here. Interests would be well and truly aligned. Cooper has a massive motivation to come here that perhaps only the likes of Nathan Jones, Tony Pulis and Craig Bellamy would have. Except Cooper is quality.

The chance to take your own club up to the Premiership? I bet my house Coops would be interested and I’d take him in a heartbeat.

Re: If Bulut left, which of these available manager would you choose?

We desperately need a coach. That has to be the number one requirement, can they improve the players we have. Morison, Hudson and Bulut have failed miserably in that. I think Lamouchi did to a degree with Philogene etc.

I would like to see us go for someone like Evatt at Bolton, or Mousinho at Pompey. Whether the latter would come, I'm not sure but Schumacher left Plymouth for Stoke so maybe he would. I think it is too much of a risk but Pete Wild has done brilliant jobs everywhere he's been. Barrow to Cardiff is a massive, massive jump though so I wouldn't pull the trigger.

Maybe he's really into bluebirds?

No chance we'd get Potter, he'll be lined up for the England job I suspect

Cooper maybe an outside bet, I can't see him getting another Premier League job or one of the relegated clubs going for him. Once you discount clubs with parachute payments we're probably one of the more attractive Championship clubs

Re: If Bulut left, which of these available manager would you choose?

I wanted Beale here back in the summer of 2022, that was a mistake - he might be a good coach, but he’s not made a good job of the jump to manager and he comes over as not a very nice human being. I’d be happy with one of Cooper or Potter mind, but it’s not going to happen is it.

I would agree Bob that out of the three, Beale is the weakest candidate. It it were Beale or Bulut I think it is neck a neck, but Beale would at least improve the style and be good at sourcing and improving youngsters: the edge over Bulut.

Re: If Bulut left, which of these available manager would you choose?

The list is not too bad actually. Assume buying out an existing coach is not an option, and paying off Bulut is viable. Which body would you drag through the doors next (that are realistic)?

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik

For me, Graham Potter, Steve Cooper or Michael Beale. All three have:

1. Excellent connections to the FA and / or clubs with good academies - good for loans and recruitment
2. All three have good playing styles, and had success with it in this division or above
3. All have had success in implementing good styles.
4. All are familiar with good structures, data and performance analysis, and have the right network of people to draw on
in those coaching circles if they need further help
5. All familiar with demands of football and opponents in this division and above

None are without risk but all have the above merits. Those are my calls from the available list.

Cooper but it will never happen so this thread is a bit pointless.

Luton get relegated, sack Rob Edwards & we snap him up. Simple. :hide:

For those wanting Cooper, how do you square that with spending £275million on 46 players in 3 windows?

What’s there to square? That was the crazy owners doing. Cooper did not want to go sign so many players.

He was available when we were looking for a manager and next to no one wanted him on here.
