X appointed new manager: how would you feel?

[singe]

Different poll, as it is clear some contenders people are happier with than others, but not clear how happy.

So this is assuming they have been appointed, not how likely.

I've left out Scholes as 99% would be happy with him (there always one...!)

Mainly those genuinely in the running. Poll is limited to 10.

Editted I had Neil Redfearn in twice. Only half a dozen votes in,

Surprised by the negativity surrounding Curtis.

 

Decent candidate from the looks of it. Would much rather have him than Dowie, who's been out of the game for ages.

[ChaddySmoker]

Wasnt Redfearn in the poll twice but only in the results section once-its a fix?

Bit surprised no-one has voted happy for Frankie Bunn, albeit vast majority are unsure/neutral

[mcfluff1985]

I can't believe people would be happy with Dowie who has one managerial success to his name. From one season with us. Where he had a massive budget. Who has been out of the game for 6 years

Promotion with Palace after taking them over near the bottom of the league?

On a shoestring though?

[singe]

Worth recalling who we were happy with before Evans entered the frame.

 

Philliskirk

Cotterill

Dowie

Curtis

Coleman

Shirtliff

Redfearn

[adamoafc]

Think if fans want loyalty and passion TP is the man. Well respected in the game and would have an eye for a decent signing. If we could keep a decent budget for him and shirtliff to stay on would be happy with that. Is John harbin still at port vale would try get him back aswell

I'd be pretty happy with a Good Cop Bad Cop of TP & Shirtliff

TP is too important for our youth set up. We make more money from that than from senior first teamer sales. Trotman, Philiskirk (twice), Tarky, Scott Spencer, Eaves, Coleman, Renshaw all sold to keep the club going.

If he got the job and it went badly, I'd hate to think that we'd have to sack him and lose one of the most important people at the club.

Although we also made a decent bit of money on first team players when LDJ was in charge.

[adamoafc]

He is 51 I think but his job is very full on. I'm sure before he retired he would fancy a chance as manager with the option to step back into his old role of it didn't work out? What is there to lose?

What if they handed him the job and got rid of the youth setup.

 

Wouldn't put it past them.

I'm pretty sure that if that happened then we'd lose most of next years starting 11.

[ShakerT]

Tony won't take the job permanently, likes doing the youth team on a regular wage

[b0ndl1ne]

Give him a clause that he can go back to the kids after a year or two regardless of how successful he's been with the seniors

[Boys in Blue]

I'd be happy to see a clause like that but it must damage relationships if he takes a step then is forced to take the step back down.

Neil Adams did it at Norwich & maybe Redfearn did the same at Leeds, so it's possible. Just think it's not worth the risk when we must have other options lined up.

[Boys in Blue]

I hope!

All I'm getting when I try and vote is "You must cast a vote in each question of the poll".

 

I'm no Bill Gates but I know how to fill a bleeding poll in on OWTB. Tried 6 or 7 times now so I give up.

 

Happy with Dowie.

Ok with Robins, Coleman, Redfearn and Coterill.

Unhappy with the rest.

 

Why? Because I think Dowie would be the only choice at this point to lift fans and bring a spirit back to the club.

 

Robins is competent and experienced but a red bastard, Coleman a failure at Dale but done well at Accy so not sure what to expect, Redfearn did OK at Leeds in difficult circumstances but nothing spectacular and Coterill seems a decent manager but can he work with a shoestring budget? Also his voice annoys me a tad.

 

The rest I don't think are up to what is going to be a :censored:ing massive job!

 

Whoever we get, they need to be in place last week if we're to assemble what would even remotely resemble a 'team'.

 

Hope the board make the correct decision this time or we're up :censored: creek without a paddle.

[ShakerT]

Dowie isn't coming let IT go

Sorry chaps no idea why that is, will look when I cancan.

I'm getting the same message.

 

I'd be happy with Robins, as you say he's competent and experienced. Does someone being a red really put anyone off a manager? We're really not in a position to be so emotional about these things.
