from interviewing them, to choosing the candidate.
You have, say 30 applicants, ranging from inexperienced but keen, to those who’ve managed at this level before, and those who’ve managed at a higher level, but are in the autumn of their careers.
How do you approach the interview, what kind of football do you want the club to play, and what kind of contract are you going to offer them? Baring in mind, the playing budget is limited.
Is that you, Mehmet?Quote:

Rather than spend I'd like utilise loans to support above priority.
Spend more on a scouting system that supports development and additions to the squad .
Bring in under 25's players .
Bring more young Welsh players to create a tighter unit
I'd like a 3 year contract to develop the new tactics along with at least 2 development players in each first team squad .
I'd bring in a consultant. I'd ask other managers for recommendations. I'd look at assistant managers. I'd look at Leagues One and Two. I'd look around Europe. And beyond. I was wondering this morning if we could bring in someone on a six-month contract while we search for a new permanent manager. Or whether one of our players was up to it until the end of the season.
I think this is a mistake. It limits the club because the pool is so small. It would put us at the mercy of agents. I also think that Welsh players seem to get a pass from the fans which can lead to complacency. Joe Ledley was a decent player. But massively overrated by our fans. Will Vaulks' game is pretty limited as far as I'm concerned, but he rarely gets criticized. It's the same with everyone that wants Bellamy to manage the team. Based on what?Quote:

Glenn Roeder recommended Russell Slade to CCFC. That worked out well.Quote:

I'd be a bit more discerning about who I asked. For instance, I wouldn't be asking Neil Warnock or Neil Harris for recommendations.Quote:

OK. So who's your new manager?Quote:

With those two things in mind, maybe we should be looking at the likes of Nigel Pearson (not fussed on him as a person, but you never can tell), or maybe Slaven Bilic .
Let’s be honest, it’s a lottery out there

I can't believe there aren't more opinions in this thread.
Come on people. It's a football thread, specific to a topical subject at the City. And you are literally being asked to give an opinion. Is that what it is? Because you were asked? I thought this would be a 5 pager at least.
Slade came in to do a job and they wanted someone they could trust after Mackay and OGS.Quote:

If we can't afford anyone, just give it to Bamba to the end of the season. At least we'll know. We've got a 13 point buffer, we're not going down.

Famous last words !!!! Lose on Saturday and that 13 is down to 10, the way we’re playing, I wouldn’t say that was comfortable
We've got Smithies, Wilson, Morrison and Moore. We're not going down. There's some proper, proper garbage in the league. We've been absolutely awful and we've got 29 points from 22 games.Quote:

I'd swallow my pride and try and tap up the person who recommends managers to them down west, have they had a dud in the last decade? and they've had a few.

After our dreadful performance against Wycombe on Tuesday, I'd give Gareth Ainsworth a go. He out thought Harris, and his squad put together for peanuts out played ours. Most importantly he cuts a far more dashing figure on the touchline than the trackie wearing Harris! I am only joking about the last sentence by the way.
An ex-boss told me the definition of a consultant is someone who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is.
That was in 1989, I haven’t used one since.
Hi Mehmet. Is it correct what Bakedalasker said elsewhere that Vincent is putting in one million a month to keep us afloat?:xmassherlock:Quote:
