Monty Burns Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) tbf Thompson would be the most experienced first time manager ever. there won't be any baby mistakes to wade through or fast ones being pulled. has he been asked if he has applied? Edited September 22, 2023 by Monty Burns changed 'and' to 'or' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukers1 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I mentioned it before If they win the next 3 it’s his. I’m very happy with Redders coming in, it’s all lining up lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 3 hours ago, latics22 said: Weird, has he come in for a few weeks "At a Board meeting held this week, a recruitment process was agreed upon and will be followed over the coming weeks. The Board wants to ensure the process is thorough and that the merits of all candidates are properly considered." The appointment of a new manager could several weeks, therefore Redders could be here for a while. As the only job he seems to be doing at the moment is radio commentary with BBC Radio Leeds and talkSPORT, then why not help out a old friend.

Lee Sinnott Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Heard the strongest of strong rumours that Hasselbaink is in the mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShireBlue Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hasselbaink. One promotion as manager, taking Burton to League 1. Left them to go to QPR with Burton top of L1 in December. Current an assistant with England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summerdeep Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hasselbaink had five managerial appointments in seven years, and only once lasted more than 12 months. Unlikely to provide stability in the Frizzell or Royle tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laticsfanatic Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 To be honest, I really thought putting Joe Royle on the board was going to be the ace card in making sure we always had the right football men in charge of our club. There surely can't be many other individuals, after all, who are better connected, have the same eye for talent or know more about the game in this country - so why he and Darren got it so wrong with Unsworth is bewildering. I just hope they have learned from that fiasco and deliver us something special with this next recruitment. No more jobs for the boys. No more journeymen with multiple sackings on their CV. No more lacklustre compromises. Let's have a fresh and vital management team we can all believe in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a criticism of the Royles at all, I think the good intentions and the legacy joe left will always outweigh any of the bad. I think (Just my opinion) that DU was looking for his first managerial position , the takeover goes through and he’s perhaps made it known that he would like to give it a go or perhaps joe has basically said , here you are David , this is about as safe a bet as you’ll get with us… and the rest is history. No recruitment process. It happens in every industry . Even the ones where they say it doesn’t . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it might be wishful thinking on my part to think he's got Tony Bloom at Brighton or Dan Ashworth at Newcastle on speed dial. But I'd still like to believe he's got enough influence and connections within the game to find out who the best up and coming coaches are right now.

Also has the advantage of bringing the players in so knows and has backed them, personally, will also know their agents and possibly family. The board will no doubt spin out the process and, in effect, they have a trialist in place. If he does well nobody will mind him having a shot. If he bombs, nothing lost. I remember Jimmy Frizz coming in, the team was stinking the place out, just drawn away in the cup at South Shields, lost at home. Results were not stellar at first but people liked him, he was a sound football man and it all came good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longlostfan Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 1 hour ago, laticsfanatic said: No more journeymen with multiple sackings on their CV. Very few managers who haven't been sacked these days. I'd hazard a guess in the '92' there aren't more than half a dozen excluding those in their first appointment. According to wiki if a manager has been in place 3 years it puts him in the 12 longest serving of the 92. In contrast 47 have done less than a year. I take your point though-need to avoid a serial failure. It would be great to have a manager being offered a renewal at 3 years- would mean we are progressing.
