Eddie Howe might have been earning big bucks but as of today he is earning a big fat zero!Chunes said:Eddie Howe is on 62 grand a week at Bournemouth. I think our top earner is currently on 4 grand a week.
You're talking about bringing a manager in, under FFP, who, if he's going to drop down the leagues, would expect an offer that's too good to refuse and one that's higher than he's getting now, who would come in earning more than 15x our top player.
Ya dreamin
He was also the first manager in the Premier League to take a pay cut due to the pandemic so this tells me money is not the biggest driver in his life.0 -

Which is why Chris Wilder is not going to take a job in league 1ShootersHillGuru said:Chris Wilder1 -
Those manager stats are interesting. Laudrup has a better record than I thought2

Win % really isn't a good way to judge a manager anyway. Better to assess them on the individual merits of each job they take, with regards to the context and nuance of the situation.
As an example, someone like Mourinho has a much higher win % than, say, Sean Dyche. Who would you say is doing the better job?6 -
Win percentage without the context of where they took over the team, what the ownership situation was etc etc is pointless.15

If you ignore the Qatari clubs he hasn't won more games than he's lost at any of the clubs he's been at since 2008Gravesend_Addick said:Those manager stats are interesting. Laudrup has a better record than I thought0 -
He had good players that year but it’s not like he was a one season wonder. Four promotions including two out of this league with a very average squad at Scunthorpe. Also one of very few managers to achieve the back-to-back promotion from L1 to Premier League.ElliotCAFC said:

Just so we're clear, you're saying Eddie Howe is going to take a pay cut AND drop down the leagues to join us because he's jobless and charitable.0 - Sponsored links:

Getting Adkins would be like the ice cream man outside but your mum telling you you gotta have the choc ice in the fridge.
Not the type of bloke to bring a buzz about the place.29 -
I’d be fairly happy with Adkins if I was a Birmingham fan, probably got the years under his belt to get a job done during a relegation dog fight, short term fix etc.
But for a plan to turn charlton into a National phenomenon starting with promotion from league one, Nigel Adkins, per-lease. He wasn’t trusted to do this back in his Southampton days when they reached the prem.2 -
IMO it’s a bit more like thinking you heard the ice man outside but you look out the window and there’s no one there so you have to have the choc ice after day dreaming about the 99 flake..ValleyGary said:Getting Adkins would be like the ice cream man outside but your mum telling you you gotta have the choc ice in the fridge.

Chris Wilder and Eddie Howe, even Laudrup, have never been on the table.1 -
Adkins did a decent job at hull. Took them over when they were 20th, moved them up to 18th. Then the next season they finished 13th in the Championship.
Sheffield United is his only 'failure' really. Leading directly to Wilder shooting them up the table.4 -
I am not saying anything but the title of this thread is who we "want" not who we are going to "get". It is down to Thomas to sell the package to the new manager and if that 3 year plan means a promotion or two along the way we are going to be an attractive proposition.Chunes said:

No harm in being optimistic is there, looking at the comments in the post match thread from last night you would have thought we just won the champions league final so what's wrong with some optimistic thoughts on here.
Dream of Wilder & Howe, finish up with Adkins.0 -
I would rather us just focus on this season and see how JJ does. A win at Wimbledon on Saturday and we should not be talking about who our next manager will be but what will be required to get promotion.
If we get promoted or find we can't get promoted, then that is the time for Thomas to make the call. Of course, if we got promoted, it would be difficult not to give the job to JJ.1 -
Total lack of ambition going for Adkins. He is someone that would get the job in the Roland era.
We now have the money, the owner and the potential to do incredible things, I would be fuming if we go for Adkins.0 -

That is hilariously underwhelming. I like Sandgaard but he’s made a rod for his own back with all the talk of Europe and building a global brand.This is the cheap and easy route. Hopefully it works1

I picked you out on another thread as a suspect for an ITK post, but I hope you are wrong in this one !!!Redhenry said:hearing Adkins, Cowley pompey2 -

Adkins would've been a good choice 10 years ago.4

Here comes the meltdown. Yes I agree it's underwhelming and has come out of nowhere. However we should all at least give him a chance and let's get behind him.
One question I have is who suggested him. As it has come out of nowhere.0
