lancy lad Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Southport manager.

lancy lad Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Seriously I have backed Corney all the way but if we make a move like this it will be a :censored:ing disgrace!

ghostofcecere Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 We can't afford to take a risk on an unproven manager right now. This would be a very bad move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLatics Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've paid a lot of attention to Southport for about five years now, mainly through a friend. I've listened to his post-match comments - Southport upload them free on their site - and he's another fresh talking young manager (with lots of experience). His football is, well, incredibly direct - wouldn't suit our supporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceskylatic Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 He's done really well on one of the smallest of budgets in the Conference,whilst remaining a part time club.Remember him being linked with the PNE job before Westley got the gig but I think we should be aiming higher than this.

If you are the fan you say you are Simon, back the :censored:ing club! Because he's in non league doesn't mean he shouldn't ever manage a league club, he may turn out to be another Martin O'Neil or on the other side of the coin a Dave Penney, but no one will know if he never gets a chance. Who's knows, the Latics might be in the Conference in a couple of years time and he might be managing in League One, stranger things have happened in football.

laticdickovarmy Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Whilst I agree with you BP1960 my worry is this aint the time to be messing about If we stay up and had an interim and appoint someone like this start next season I wouldnt be too worried as if it didnt go well we could replace him and get ourselves out of a hole so to speak But with only 16 games to go and already in trouble it needs to be someone who can make an immediate impact. Every new manager is a risk as we have no idea how it will go but this would be a huge risk especially when someone who knows the club and has worked with Corney wants the job and has made a sucess here previously If Dowie wants it give it him if we can afford him. Dowie knows the club so surely he wouldnt have applied with unrealistic salary expectations so that cant be the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are the fan you say you are Simon, back the :censored:ing club! I really find that reaction bizarre. The enthusiasm for Dowie appears to be based on his time here - did OK but so he shoudl have done with the budget he had. His managerial career has hardly been one of unremitting succes since then being largely a mixture of legal disputes and relegations. Why is that better than someone who has done well at a lower level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that better than someone who has done well at a lower level? He took over Palace in December 2003. They were 19th at the time. They got promoted. I'd say that was pretty impressive. Two months earlier we might have gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two months earlier we might have gone up. Ten years ago; not an unmitigated success since then. I'm far from anti-Dowie and as I was much closer to events in 2003 than I am now and had some insight into what went on I was always very firmly of the opinion that the stick he got for moving on was totally misplaced. But why that translates into a view that a manager (any manger) from non-league would be a ridiculous choice just baffles me. After all, it's about the only route we haven't gone down in the last decade and none of the others have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think i'd rather have someone like Watson rather than an old pro with no experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really ain't that bizarre! He has 10 years of experience - and if you watch non-league at his level it really isn't much different to league 1. That marks him to me as a young manager who has served his time and who has earned the chance to step up and appears to be ambitious to do so. I'm not particualrly supporting him but I am keeping an open mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
