If we appoint Michael Flynn

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

I'd prefer Beale, but would not be too bothered about Flynn or Morison being appointed. My one worry with Morison would be that we're reading too much into not a great deal of experience at Under 23 level and one game at senior level. In his favour, I'd say we looked far more of a threat going forward at Stoke and I liked the lack of hoofball, but, I'd didn't see any improvement in our defending or in our closing down of players within thirty yards of goal - I would have thought these would have been a priority for any one taking over from McCarthy.

Give Morrison the job till xmas. We will know by then if he has improved the squad enough.

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

So would people feel better about Flynn if he had managed Crawley?

Don’t get it myself, yes he was only a manager at Newport, but he was that club’s most successful since Len Ashurst in the late seventies/early eighties for me.

No.

Id feel better about him if hed won a promotion somewhere or had a team known for great football or had a rep for bringing through some good young players.

Saving County from relegation and losing play L2 play offs (think Kenny Hibbitt achieved that) and using resources to sign 41 year olds doesnt make me think he should be near the job.

Hes the last person I want as manager on all those in the betting. I actually would prefer Sol Campbell to him.

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

No. I think the other points you ignored are more pertinent….he can get results with zero resources.

Like I’ve said before, you people have had to put up with McCarthy, Harris and Warnock football…..you should be on your hands and knees begging for someone like Flynn.

You people?

What does that mean?
If they give the job to Flynn I doubt it will entice me back next season . More hard working dirge football.

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

I personally think that we should leave the job with Morison for eight games and only only then search elsewhere if he fails miserably.

His work with the youngsters and their recent success suggests to me that he will be looking to blood a few and hopefully they can step up to the plate, after which time it will then become clear whether or not have the young players who can hack it.

Of course he may stick with the majority of what we have in the first team but playing a different brand than we have been used to of late, in the hope of getting the best from them.

There is also the fact it will be cheaper keeping SM where he is than getting Flynn in which I'm sure will appeal to the board.

All of those giant killing acts count for nothing then?

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

To be fair, Flynn was a missed sitter and a bad refereeing decision away from winning that play off final. I'd be very disappointed if he was our next manager, but at the same time I don't understand a lot of the abuse he gets. What the **** has Sol Campbell ever achieved as a manager that would suggest he's a better choice than Flynn, for instance?

If the club is genuinely putting all their eggs in the youth basket - and, more out of necessity than anything, this looks to be the case - then Morison becomes the most viable option. He knows those players best and they already have a successful working relationship. I don't know much about Beale but if you're going to take that risk and go for youth, then I don't see any point in looking beyond Morison for now.

What does that make Flynn unlucky not to be a league 1 manager? Still not enough

Totally agree.

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

Of all the names mentioned I like the idea of Michael Beale the most. Without knowing too much about his personality but he’s seemingly been successful at Chelsea, Liverpool and Rangers and has experience with blooding young players and worked with top managers. He would have good premier league contacts too. It feels more progressive than the others, which is why it won’t happen.

Re: If we appoint Michael Flynn

of the people we are linked with, why would we expect any of them to be better at playing a low block + route one football than any of the last 3 managers, who we've all sacked as they weren't getting the results?
I see nothing to suggest that Flynn would be any better than Warnock, Harris or McCarthy. if we are that attached to that way of playing then bring in Tony Pulis, who has had more success playing that way than any of the others.

my preference would be for someone to usher in a more of a "footballing" approach, Steve morison's u21 sides showed that he can set teams up to play in that way - yes it's a lower level but McCarthy has managed t the top level and clearly didn't understand how to use wing backs in the modern game.
I was most excited by Wilder, but that won't happen, some of the others have potential but Morison seems as good as any at the moment, if he does well in nnthe next 2 games then maybe give him until January? we won't be bringing in any new players so we may as well

😂 Sorry Ive used Sol as an example to highlight how much I dont want Flynn.

Id rather Gary Monk as well.

But dont want any of the 3.

Not for our job. One off games against weakened sides with priorities elsewhere.

Slade has 2 L1 Manager of the year awards.

Wasnt good enough. So why look at a L2 Manager with no promotions and no obvious credentials other than he managed Newport.

"You people" being the Cardiff City supporters/CCMB board members who turn their nose up at MF.

I don't think his football is anywhere near as dirge as Colin, Bomber and Micks'.
