singe Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Worrying that Paul Way, Darren Ferguson & Paul Ince are the calibre we are linked with. I'd prefer Wellens to keep it if that is the case. Although I now concede Ferguson has won more than I realise, but he has a touch of the Brian Talbots about him.

palmer1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Many tipped Clarke to be our next manager last season but I don't think Ive heard him mentioned by Latics fans for the job. That what happens when you base opinion based on playing form I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many times have the early favourites actually been the ones to be apppinted ? IMO the new manger is already lined up by AL and will be announced when the deal is concluded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian_Thorn Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 On the way in last night one of the stewards said she had seen Darren Ferguson at BP. Hopefully after that performance they might want to give Wellens a few games to show what he can do. It gives more time time for 'due diligence' and 'red fleece' to work their wonders..

And he enjoyed mentioning Dunns record in comparison to Shez's this season. I reminded him that Shez's previous 2 escape artist jobs and the fact he actually does have a clue about management negated any comparable record with Dunn And unlike Dunn, Wellens does sound like he actually knows what he's talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Apparently the odds on Billy Davies have halved but he claims clubs have been avoiding him. I'd be happy with him at Latics but why are clubs avoiding him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was the perfect example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the nonsense about investors having no say. The only way Wellens gets the job is if investment falls through. Hopefully he does well enough to stay on the coaching staff, and TP too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_latics Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It won't be, but I would be so despondent if it was Paul Ince, he's a massive weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Didn't go last night - but another game where we concede 2 goals would indicate that we got a bit of luck rather than a fundamental change in the team? That said, I am not against Wellens. Basically finding a good manager is hard - it's why so many get sacked every season. Newbie, old hand, all the same really - it's a gamble. Interestingly we seemed to be linked to more candidates that are actually in a job than normal - which would indicate paying compensation and therefore further evidence of investment?

Yes, it really is bloody lucky that we scored more goals that the other side, which was the most fundamental change I could see, possibly driven by the 5 team changes (including bringing Bryan into defence from midfield).

Experienced managers are all sacked managers. You only get loads of sucsess with loads of money! How long would pep last here? He wouldn't storm the league. I'd prefer someone fresh just out the game new ideas! Maybe wellens could be perfect. I feel similar. An experienced foreign manager I could get behind but some of the British journeymen on the bookies lists depress the fuck out of me. Correa, or someone similar for me, if not let's just see what Wellens can do for a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
