Kewell isn’t fit to lace Curle’s boots managerialey. Anyone who argues differently is literally making things up based on perceived style of play. Broadly I agree and out of the two I'd put my money on Curle to get us promoted rather than Kewell without question. That said, PeteG said about 2 of Kewell's 3 jobs not being abject failures, I'd go as far as saying that none of them were abject failures. None were successes either of course, but his record in 14 games at Notts County is almost identical to Curle's 14 games here so far. Notts were a total shambles for all of that season and he was a very small part of it. I think the only manager in the Lemsagam era that I'd consider calling a failure is Wellens due to the relegation, but even then he's shown that he has managerial ability and he was clearly massively undermined when managing us.

unsworth blue Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I think that most of us would actually take the same manager being in charge at the end of the season that had started it. This has not happened at Latics for far too long and the constant swapping and changing has only had a demoralising effect on fans and presumably staff and players. Until ALMO go then I can't see the same manager starting and finishing a season at OAFC The move from Dino to Kewell at the start of the season meant a shift in emphasis from an established league 2 manager with a fairly regimented way of playing to a fairly unproven but maverick manager who seemed to want to play a more attacking brand of football. This must have meant retraining existing players and trying to bed in new players to suit a different style of play and it was moderately successful results wise albeit was much more suited to away games. Then to ditch Kewell and bring in an interim manager, Curle and basically try and adapt a new playing system 2/3 of the way into the season really doesn't sound the best idea and no wonder the results were mixed. I have no idea if Curle actually will take over and if he does, I do wonder whether he will have as much a say as required in building a team and using a particular playing style. I look forward to the day some sanity returns to my football club but am not expecting it anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworth blue Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Not convinced about the role title "Head Coach", wasn't he brought in as "Interim Manager"? Assume that KC will not have full say on recruitment and playing style then and we will still have to endure the Sporting Director model in all its glory. That said, welcome (back) Keith, hope you get the support you need to make a success of the role and hope you are at least given a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I'm not sure how anyone can say the fans are trigger happy given how many people were really keen to keep Dino and Kewell. We're desperate for stability, hence the appointment of Curle being mainly praised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O.JONES Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Kurly Keefs first interview might throw some light on how much say he has on signings and structure, or whether or not it'll be the same old Mo show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end though it doesn't really matter because even if he was given a 22 year contract it could all end up like previous incumbents if interference reigns.

It doesn’t change the fact that we have next to money coming in, and an owner whose interest is non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
