Funny enough, the word was that Gordon Strachan was lined up when Curbs was being touted for the Spurs job a few years back. Somehow doubt we'd prise him away from Celtic now.
Still our Championship place to play for despite what some say....
We tried that Stanmore and we had to sack him after 15 games and give Uncle Les the job...
pmsl
he was Mr Iiancredible
"I was given until January but it's a very difficult job to sort out in a few games and it's obvious we need to buy in reinforcements and some stronger characters during the transfer window. The board know I've had a difficult job. Nothing lifts the club like two, three or four new faces and I don't know what's available, but we need to do something rather than nothing."'
If he is in charge by the Forest game I'll be seriously pissed off. He has done NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to warrant getting the job. And a few games ? EIGHT you mug. I really am beginning to despair of those at the helm of the great club. Please prove me wrong this week.
Who can we get in though at a price we can afford?
let's extend his reign till the end of the season and he might get one, but I wouldn't bank on it.
Agreed but give me some affordable names who are better managers than Parky.
I don't think he is ideal by any means as the results tell their own story but I cannot come up with a realistic (in terms of finance and availability) name who would necessarily be any better...
Len, how much are we offering ? How much is Parky on ? Unless you know these answers the questions are hypothetical. Either way the answer is less than relegation would cost in lost season ticket sales, lost sponsorship, lost 5m from being in the Championship, lost burger sales etc etc
Len, it is quite possble that we are now so beyond redemption that nobody could do any better. At 5 o'clock this afternoon I was so depressed that I was thinking Parky might as well stay as we're already down. That dark mood soon passed and I now think we have to give it one last throw of the dice with whomever we can get - even if it's mad, bad Paulo.
With Parky we are definitely going down (how many Championship games has he now gone without a win if you put his Hull fiasco and these last eight games for us together?) With someone else, we will probably still go down. But we might just have a chance if we find someone with some self-belief who can then transfer that belief to the players.
Yes the questions are hypothetical but we do know that we had to fork out £1.5 million to get rid of Pardew recently which equated to two years on his contract.
In our severely reduced circumstances we won't be able to afford anywhere near those kind of wages for a new manager and to get the supposed best which Pardew was that is what has to be paid. OK there is a credit crunch but even so the top guys are still way beyond us so we are down to the next level ie Parky and his ilk.
well, I'd rather it was one of his ilk and not actually him.
