He is the sort of up and coming manager we have wanted to appoint in the past and probably should be looking at especially with the effort he seems to have taken in improving his coaching career (like Rowett, Poyet etc in the past) but because I remember that Dowie season I don't want him.
I'm totally bamboozled at the JFH love-in on here. There are far better choices currently unemployed (as managers)
Are there?
A player who has been a big star at the highest level, but has also succeeded in management at a small club, a well run small club, but hardly one with masses of money to buy success.
Take away the baggage of his terrible season with us, and you'd say he was a very good candidate, young, ambitious, charismatic...
There will be a lot of hyperbole and rumours about the next permanent manager, and after 5 defeats and many 100s of interviews, RD and KM will announce KF is a young coach they believe has the tools to take us forward. I will not buy into the hope again
Someone who did well at League One / League Two level but put him any higher and I wouldnt want him anywhere near my club
Good point. Better go with the untested Belgian Third Division (A) "Head Trainer" instead.
My point is, it doesnt matter whether you go for someone who has managed in the Belgian Third Division / English Championship hell even some one from the Premier League, whoever you bring it its going to be a risk

But clearly there are ways to reduce that risk. Why back the donkey when there are horses in the race?

It doesn't follow from that though that anyone you bring in is an equal risk. Someone doing well in the league below us in England is obviously a better bet than someone doing poorly in whatever lower league in Belgium...

Will he celebrate when we knock Chelsea out of the cup in the 3rd round ?
That's the only bit that really interested me from the Cawley story. I guess it's not a surprise.
In terms of the story itself, I guess the SLP are just hedging their bets and printing something in case it does turn out to be true.
Would at least command some respect from the players.
He would be mad to ruin his reputation and come and join our circus though
Read that as "His agent has been in touch"
