So we have appointed Bulut, what would people prefer we kept Lamouchi or happy we have changed.
I didn’t mind Lamouchi if the other options were Bamba or Morison but I think it’s a positive step forward.

He's our manager so onwards we go
Keep Bamba though imo
Why? Surely bring in someone he trusts and is experienced in coaching. Don’t get the Bamba loving, back the manager and get his people in. Bamba had a huge ego, confrontational as we have seen, a new manager might not what that kind of person.Quote:

Well if the players respect him and most of our fans do then that's half the battleQuote:

Confrontational? ExplainQuote:

I thought Bamba and Whitehead's contracts were about to run out. If that's the case it won't cost anything to get rid of themQuote:

I don't know what role Whitehead has or if he's any good
Rubbish. The most important other half being if he's actually any good in his job. You don't know that, I don't either.Quote:

Ego? Expecting a call off the chairman when being released despite being told by the manager and the big clue not getting a new contract but still chose to slam the club in the media to keep him relevant.
If he’s a good coach despite his minimal coaching experience and the new manager wants him then perfect. Personal think the manager should choose his staff and not be because they used to play for us.
Neither are “here” they are on holiday and out of contract.Quote:

Not really but it doesn’t matter what I think or what your mates think. If the new manager wants Bamba then fine get him signed up but I don’t want the club to push him on the new manager to just please some fans. Let the manager bring in his people whoever they may be.Quote:

Lamouchi did the job of staying up and a couple of the away games were decent. However the home performances offered nothing to deserve getting retained so I wasn't shocked he was let go.
Can't give you any honest opinion about Bulut yet as I only vaguely know the name and very much doubt anyone on this site have watched his teams play often enough to make an informed choice.
How is anyone ever going to know if someone is going to be a good coach if they keep wanting to get rid. You pick on two instances where he showed his passion for the club and lost his cool and totally forget to take account of all the good things he did. When he fell out with Warnock on the sideline, he had just seen a team mate taken out with a knee high tackle. Plus what I know is that Bamba was a bloody good player for us and knows the club inside out, something that a manager coming in from abroad will find invaluable. You need to show him more respect.Quote:

better the devil you don't know
Neither Nathan Jones, knows the league, knows the players, knows and loves the club!
The timing was perfect and we brought in some complete randomer from Turkey.
I don't trust Tan or Dalmon, they get it wrong eight times out of ten on Management appointments.
In what respect? I know nothing about how Bamba did under Lamouchi.Quote:

Great bloke but he doesn't come across as a knowledgeable coach like Bellamy when interviewed, or as a football pundit but who knows, I guess we will soon find out if he is jettisoned.Quote:

Maybe the conversation has gone off on a Sol Bamba tangent in this thread because the original question is such a tough one to answer gibven none of us really know anything about Bulut. I was not sad to see Lamouchi go, home performances became truly abysmal under him after we’d played pretty well in some of his early ones and, for all that he’s praised as being a “proper” manager by some in comparison with Morison and Hudson, his record was barely better than theirs.
I chose Bulut in the poll, but only because there was no don’t know option. I’ve said I don’t like much of what I’ve read about Bulut since his appointment, but I’m hoping that Steve Caulker is right when he claims he adjusts his approach according to the strength of the opposition, because that’s no bad thing in my book.
I've seen similar written in - of all places - someone trying to show how to set up football manager to accurately represent Bulut's tactics.Quote:

Slightly odd poll in that you're asking to compare a manager we have no experience of. Shit polls are my domain. Who can forget the total lack of interest in my toilet duck fragrance poll of 2011?
No he will have to take advice from the club and interview him, some Managers always like to bin and bring in their own, let's see what type this one is.Quote:
