beag_teeets Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This could go on all afternoon....!!!! Back on topic; I guess basically we're F&*ked with or without Penney in charge - I'm off to go cry in a dark room! You might as go and **** in a dark room, might cheer you up.

JoeLatics Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 In other words, Duxbury or Gregan Better him than Penney, frankly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Never a truer word said there Stevie J - It's at the point now where even a Wenger-esq. manager with a decent budget for our level would struggle. The problems at our club run a hell of a lot deeper than with the manager of the team. I personally wouldn't like Gannon; I can't seem to offset his abilities in forming a side and playing decent stuff with the fact that he is a complete c*ck. If Penney is hounded out; I'd like us to plump for an up-and-comer; who doesn't have 'legend' status with us; and isn't associated with the club presently in some sort of guise. My short list is as follows; this obviously doesn't take into account whether they'd actually want to come here / possible compensation needed - just a potential list like!! Eddie Howe - Doing a very creditable job in a far from ideal situation at Bournemouth. Has done wonders with no budget and a transfer embargo; forming a side from old pro's and bringing on the youth lads. He is young and ambitious. He seems to be a hands-on 'tracksuit' manager; who has good relationships with players & fans alike (granted that has come from 11 years association with the club). If we manage to prize him away from the South coast; he has the potential to rise and rise in the game; and he could well take us a club with him. Justin Edinborough - At Rushden & Diamonds and doing well; having served his apprenticeship at Billericay. An on the up manager; still young (for a manager) and still learning; but R&D play attractive football; and he's 'found' (* might be scouts not him I guess) a couple of gems from semi-pro and lower leagues. In a similar style to Howe; one for the future; why not with us? Gary Speed - Number 2 at Sheffield Utd; comes across as knowledgeable and intelligent in his media dealings (in his post match interviews and as a guest on live games). He's well respected within the game and I'd guess has 1 or 2 contacts from both his playing days & his assistant role. He's also a "Name" that would carry some weight and would grant decent media coverage. Derek McInnes - St Johnstone manager & doing well (4-1 Vs Ranger last night no less). Again an on the up manager with potential. As a player he was tough as nails; heart on the sleeve midfield yard-dog - and his side reflects that. We'd get passion and effort in every game. If he also happened to smuggle Danny Grainger & Steven Anderson in his suitcase then that would be lovely too!! That's my suggestions; as I said above - they dont take into account compensation or actual interest in our club; just who'd I like to see. Eddie Howe I have been saying for ages and ages. Gary Speed is a great shout, never even considered him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Eddie Howe I have been saying for ages and ages. Gary Speed is a great shout, never even considered him. Plausible though? Eddie Howe only ever left the South Coast for a loan at Swindon where he didn't play once. Oldham, Eddie? Would Speed fancy it? He'll probably get a decent job if he hangs about. IIRC correctly he's good mates with Rob Lee, which suggests an uphill climb to get him over to us for a relegation battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Exactly, the replacement would be cheap and totally umproven. What, like Joe Royle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 What, like Joe Royle? Yeah, and Graeme Sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
