LightDN123 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Surely not. We have to go with someone with experience in this league if we want a quick turn around. Unsy pretty much wrote off the first 6 months for that reason. Please get someone with experience ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobledgersheart Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I don't really get this "needs to be experienced in this division". If he does manage to get us promoted will we be looking to sack and employ someone with League 2 experience ? If you can set up a team and manage you can certainly do it anywhere at our level. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we want to kick on this season, having experience of this league already will be a huge benefit. If not, you are effector asking someone to learn on the job (again). Depends whether we want an instant or long term response. Edited September 19, 2023 by LightDN123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 "The club can confirm that Steve Thompson will take interim charge of first-team matters while a recruitment process is conducted." Would have thought any "recruitment process" would take longer than a couple of days? I'd be surprised if they already had someone lined up already (which, if Clemence, must surely have already been in place?) the way Frank had been so defensive of Unsworth.

We've had the likes of Neil Warnock without success. It's all about the right fit. Luke Williams didn't have a great time at Swindon, but it clicked at Notts County. I'm not saying Clemence should be the one, although he does have good experience as a first team coach at some big clubs. Whoever we get will be a risk. It's the nature of the game. But I wouldn't rule out the likes of Clemence cos he hasn't managed at this level. A good coach should be able to get a tune out of this squad. DU clearly wasn't. Pinning my trust in the board getting it right and will back the new man with an open mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, no guarantees with anyone, he’s a fair pedigree as a player along with his dad, just struck me as a bit similar to Unsworth at a glance but who knows. Maybe Thompson will see this as a possibility for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
