Not convinced Kewell would be the right appointment. If new owners have money there's more proven managers out there rather than Kewell
I'm not convinced either, though at this level I'd rather take a chance on someone that might turn out to be very good rather than someone that we know should be decent but probably nothing more.
Slade was a proven League One manager. Fuck going through that again.

Robinson was a proven Manager same with Riga and Luzon (albeit not in England)
Curbs / Powell werent proven Managers
Yeah but Guardiola and Conte were proven managers and Paul Ince wasn't. I think this is such a narrow view of coaching and who is successful and who isn't.

We’re not going to attract any manager that isn’t a gamble in some way or another. We’re a third tier team and will be next season.
Far better to pick a possible rising star who has ambition and drive and a career to build. What is the alternative ? Some journeyman whose stuck in their ways and stale. Slade anyone ?

Yes I absolutely agree, I would far rather we take someone with less experience but a bigger upside than someone with a long history of meh in the lower leagues.
The point I was trying to make above was just that the Curbs and Powell had little to no experience" argument is short sighted.
My bigger question is, and this is a genuine question, is Harry Kewell considered a rising star in coaching? Would we know who he was if he wasn't a former top level footballer? Would he be in consideration for the job (and he may not this may all be paper talk) if he weren't Australian? I don't really see anything in his coaching record that indicates the answer is "yes" to any of the above.
Manager obviously helps. But main thing for me would be a well drilled team, flexible, know their duties on and off the ball, give 110% every single minute of every game. That, in my opinion, is more important, than whether a manager has one year or ten years experience. From Australia, Belgium or Timbuktu. If the manager shows promise of providing the above, I’m game.
Dunno... I've put the highlights from the Crawley game on the KAG thread - The defending from the players is shocking for their goals, better performances from individuals and that result may have been better

I gather Crawley play very direct football . One of the reasons I enjoyed yesterday so much was the mixture of tactics; Zyro was used as an outball but we played really nicely between the lines, with Aribo and Fosu to the fore

I thought Kewell was meant to have got them playing out from the back, very much a short passing game?
Whats the point, leave it as it is for now until the end of the season and then look at some proper managers.
Trouble is, if the Managerial appointment can be sorted now when the takeover happens it means two things:
(1) That these Aussies are organised, and could be the reason why its not been announced yet as they'll want to takeover the club and confirm all important roles at the same time
(2) If its someone from outside the club, it gives the new Manager 7 / 8 games to assess the squad and work out what players we need going into next season... As it is we're already losing ground on rivals because Managers by now will be talking with agents finding out what players will be available come the summer etc.

I'd be more than happy with Kewell.
