I'd love to see what the Brothers Cowley could do at Town. Would you mind the fact they are somewhat "long ball " ? Erm, not really. They've obviously got something about them and I believe they're going to be given a chance in the Championship soon. I'd like that chance to be with us. I'd rather them than any of the other names mentioned. |

But most town fans wouldn't take kindly to their tactics I wouldn't think |

Having looked at the odds Giovanni van Bronckhorst stands out a mile but sadly I'd say the chances of that are slim to say the least. This is one of three suggestions on this thread that hasn't been dismissed out of hand. The others are Tracy Neville, but she's starting a family, possibly at this very moment! And the other is Warnock's cat. I think we should let Giovanni have it. |

But most town fans wouldn't take kindly to their tactics I wouldn't think They definitely weren't long ball against us last week. They looked technically better than us and played some good football. They did use their big lad now and again to get up the pitch quickly which is sensible tactics in my eyes |

Webber left the club in April 2017 Siewert wasn’t even at Borussia Dortmund II then (I know we had spoken to him before this time)... and appointed here in January 2019! Are you seriously blaming Webber for an appointment made 21 months and 2 DOFs after his departure and whose failure was in large (or in part - depending on your view) down to transfers in 5 transfer windows after his departure?! This is DATM gold! (FWIW / I’m sure Webber will have identified a number of young German coaches He appointed Daniel Farke and won promotion to the Premier League after backing him in the transfer market... the last part of that sentence is important. Had he appointed Siewert maybe he would have supported him more than we did, just a thought) You might call it DATM gold but I understand it's also true To be clear my DATM gold comment relates to this “Are you seriously blaming Webber for an appointment made 21 months and 2 DOFs after his departure and whose failure was in large (or in part - depending on your view) down to transfers in 5 transfer windows after his departure?!” Are you?! |

I think I'm right in thinking you called for Webber to choose our new manager . All I said was that he chose our last one .. which he did .. |

I was speaking to a Barnsley supporter today, and apparently some of them fear that Town will be in for Stendel, their Manager. Doe anyone know what qualities he has? The main one is hes not Siewert. |

Having a bit more time to think about this and after seeing the results at the weekend and we basically need to find the next Dyche or Wilder but I am not sure if there is one out there or indeed we would have the patience for one to materialise with our new found arrogance and expectancy.
Dyche and Wilder had solid careers as professional footballers 400+ lower league games for unfashionable clubs and despite being a football geek I can only really recall Dyche when he was part of chesterfields cup run.
I would hazard a guess that they both earn a year now equivalent to their entire playing career.
Now the typical opinion is that wilder and Dyche will get their teams to work hard, but they are clearly both excellent tacticians and I doubt either of these (or most of us) would play Pritchard out wide, hard work only gets you so far but for me hard work has been lacking since Chelsea away on the whole!!!!
How about Michael Flynn anyone? Ex player and doing a superb job at Newport.... his career wasn’t too dissimilar to the guys mentioned above.

There is a pattern to managers at clubs. If one does well but leaves, the board try something similar again eg Wagner/ Seawart, Lampard/Coco. But when it goes wrong, they go for the complete opposite. Same theory applies to women.
So i’m expecting an experienced English manager. Is Stan Ternant still alive?

Dyche and Wilder are undoubtedly different characters now to they were in career.
All I would say is that if you looked at the playing careers they are all in my opinion honest hardworking professionals, their careers are incredibly similar
I’m pretty sure Flynn has captained a side or two.... he never came across as dim to me but I am not suggesting that he isn’t but I don’t think it’s fair to suggest he can’t become a Dyche/wilder type.... to quote Rocky IV everyone can change.

Maybe Michael O’Neill the NI manager would fit into that category ? I haven’t seen his name mentioned much. He didn’t have a particularly distinguished career but has proven himself to be someone who can mould a team, be a good tactician and motivator ? He was rumoured to be fancying a move back into club management a year or two ago before agreeing an improved deal to continue as NI manager. |

I'd take someone like Pearson. No nonsense. Ex pro and also successful at championship level.
One thing is for certain he would not take any crap from some of the Jokers in the squad.
Seen mention of Gatusso but can't see that either but would be interesting.
Gary Rowett would be ok but a bit meh.
It won't be Houghton or Jokanovic.
This guy would probably give it to Alan Pardew on a seven year contract.

While neither of them "know the Championship" my two first choices would be either Quique Setién or Pablo Machín. Machín did fantastic work with Girona getting them promoted on a modest budget, while Setién had a good spell with Betis before reaching the limits of what is realistically achievable with them. They also have a way of playing, Setién in particular, which is something that has ebbed away from the team since our promotion season. Are you their agent |
