Really! Isn’t that what the last guy done and got pelters for it?? Anyway, if I knew how it worked I wouldn’t have asked and since you ended your paragraph with “probably” it would seem you’re not 100% sure either.

thewelllfan Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Ideally Paul Lambert but he'll probably have his sights set on a bigger job. My rouge/left-field shout would be Owen Coyle. I think it will probably end up being one of the Australians tho based on the fact the board have been looking at making a foreign appointment for years and this is probably the lowest risk oppertunity they'll have to do it given how far from 12th we are.

fizoxy Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Lambert has some job with Dortmund where he gets to live in Australia https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsbirmingham/paul-lambert-reveals-he-has-landed-new-job-ten-years-after-aston-villa-sacking/ar-AA1xWFnY?ocid=BingNewsVerp Coyle manages an Indian team after leaving queens park a couple of years ago.

texanwellfan Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 What about Naismith? Done well the first season with Hearts but quickly jettisoned this season and not given a chance to turn things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert in any case was unlikely. I forgot Coyle went to Queens Park not that long ago and didn't do particularly well. Graham Arnold is the only name I've seen declare interest publicly and I've heard rumblings via twitter we've approached County to speak to Cowie not sure on reliabilty of that source tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against it but his recruitment during his time at Hearts was quite poor so I'd be concerned at him overseeing the huge squad rebuild that is inevitable in the summer.

weeyin Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I thought Naismith was pretty terrible, and only got away with it thanks to Shankland hitting a hot streak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had bigger budget than us and ran out of ideas. Had too many midfielders and no pace in team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 There's always one or two that get themselves linked with a job just to get their name out, and that's what Arnold strikes me as. He has had good success, and I have to imagine he's out of our range. I don't know much about his style though. Not sure what owen coyle has done in the last 10 years to deserve to be linked. No chance of McGlynn, he's months away from promoting falkirk, and took a few years to build that side. Brown is building experience, and is probably viable, but he did sign a new contract when he rejected St J. Naismith had shankland to thank, then rue. He did have the curse of Europe to deal with, but his recruitment wasn't great. Lennon seems more like an until the end of the season thing, but there's a section of our fans that will be sick in their mouths. There will be a few of the media darlings linked as well, and at least one who has no chance will rule himself out because if the fan abuse. I'll nominate Kevin Thomson for that spot. This is a chance for a brand new executive team to put their stamp on things, and it's a good opportunity for someone to come in, figure things out, scrape us the points we need, and hit the summer with a clean slate. However, this has Frail until the end of the season written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there is some merit in that scenario, on the assumption that he will recognise the mistakes SK made and change our style to get the best from the players we have available. Steady the ship and see us clear of relegation hopefully still top 6, then bring in a new face in the summer for the required rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we confident that he didn't fully back or suggest most of those mistakes in the first place, given that (officially) we're not managerless as a result of how the team is playing?

thewelllfan Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 With us being out the cup the board have something like 3 weeks to get a manager in. We also can't bring anyone else in cos we have no idea how the new manager will want us to play. So we're stuck with what we've got untill at least the summer in terms of the squad.

wellsince75 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 We have something like 30 first team players - really don’t see us adding to that . frail I hope is short term, given our last 2 appointments were internal with SH and SK I’m hoping that we go external. by external not just beyond the club but also beyond the usual suspects that lazily get ushered . theres so bloody good managers out there - majority are currently employed but won’t always cost a fortune to buy out a mgrs contract. take our time and look to get someone in before the end of the season.

Spit_It_Out Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 I really fancy a punt on David Healy from Linfield coming up to last year of contract maybe we could tempt him over.

We won't know till we see his first team selection on Sunday and how we set up, and yes we are managerless because the team have been brutal for weeks and SK had no idea how to turn it round and walked. Don't believe the personal abuse fairy tales were the reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Healy would be a good shout, good young manager by all accounts and likes attacking sides. The other guy over there in the south Stephen Bradley at shamrock rovers is viewed highly as well. i would like to see Graham Arnold but im not sure that’d happen? as for names like Billy Davies and big dunc, dear god no!!!

fizoxy Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Any suggestion of Duncan Ferguson is pure ignorance. Some people remember him prancing up and down the touchline for Everton and think we need that "passion", and don't bother to look at his actual record. He relegated ICT, had them playing eye bleeding football, and signed his own son who was hopeless Of all the names I've seen so far, I'd rather have kettlewell back.
