QUOTE]


Perhaps Milan has as his main criteria that the next manager should be one where there is no danger of him being tapped by another club.

Joe Royle is knocking 60 and has had his day - this would be simply building a further fairly swift managerial change into the process when Royle can't deliver.

Joe Royle as a just possible DoF if a young and relatively inexperienced manager is appointed maybe if Milan wants to spend (waste) his money on such a post - but as a manager, just not the way forward in my opinion.

If we turn to Joe Royle as manager we might as well throw in the towel now. Absolutely no foresight whatsoever. I thought Megson was depressing but that would be a shocker.

We are a club in a rut. Any decent managers will be in a job and any who aren't won't want to come to us - I doubt. We need a relatively unproven manager from the lower leagues, who has the passion and drive to succeed.

Completely agree.

If Milan brings in Joe Royle then it will suggest to me that Milan has lost the plot.

In my opinion Milan should recognise that we are in a rut - as you say - and that rut has been made deeper by the managerial fiascos and generally poor player acquisitions. He should bring in the sort of manager you describe - give the person appointed a free hand - and take the pressure off by acknowledging that promotion isn't a realistic aim for this season.
 
Not sure why there is quite so much animosity towards Joe Royle - although I'll admit I would prefer a more imaginative appointment.

Alex - it's not about animosity towards Joe Royle.

He appears to be a really decent bloke and has played and managed at the top level.

But.......he is out of the loop now; he's highly unlikely to deliver the sort of outcomes we are looking for and if, when Milan took over we had been told that Joe Royle was the sort of appointment that he was looking to make then i think most people would have been very surprised.

Of course, I realise that we are now, where we are (not to coin a phrase!) but I just don't think it would work out for Joe or the club.
 
While at Ipswich he had a completely thankless task as player after player was groomed for the exit. Many managers would have taken them down I think.

I would prefer other managers, but IMO he is a better appointment than Megson and at least may try to attack more.

He's a nice bloke but he's past it and his tactics are prehistoric.Thats Royle I mean not Alex.
 
Why are people happy for little to return to the club but Royal is old and past it.:102:

I don't want either but it would not surprise me in the slightest if we got one of them.They are the calibre of Manager that we attract nowadays IMO.
 
We need the passion and desire of an up and coming manager, like MA2 without the baggage, could bring. A DOF would at least keep Milan off the manager's back and allow the manager to concenttrate on just running the first team! There is Gary Johnson at Bristol City, or Russell Slade at Yeovil, or Paul Ince at MK Dons, or even Mark Robins at Rotherham (for the Walshie factor) for instance.

Why would Gary Johnson leave Bristol City for us? I don't get that at all.

Medium term there is more chance of success here IMO. I think he could be persuaded and is probably the outstanding candidate for the job from this dvision.
 
Milan was quoted in The Sun today (so make what you like) as saying that if we do not get promoted then we would basically be ****ed due to the overheads. didn't give a time span but if he doesn't get it right soon then it could actually be bye bye LCFC! :eek: :(

OK if both teams could reach the Premiership, which stadium and training facilities would you want to help attract the players to help you stay there, ours or Ashton Gate?

I know Portsmouth and Wigan and Fulham have survived with small stadia, but it is a factor. If you could do well on SKY money alone why have Arsenal built the Emirates or Manure expanded to 76000!
 
Joe Royle...For the love of god can we STOP going for shit managers now. It is really starting to F*CK ME OFF!!!!
