Thordarson link!!!

[Bangkok Blue]

Someone on the Englandfans website says that Thordarson has already been interviewed about the managers job, however the club have two more candiates to interview!

His mate apprantly works for Notts County. I know Thordarson was interviewed before Levein took over so reckon this could be a runner!

pretty sure someone will be in place by the Wolves game!

Mad Biker can you confirm any of this rumour?

As far as I am aware he Is`nt even on the list, if I were a gambling man which I am most certainly not I would risk a 50p coin on Steve Cotterill !

I hope so MB, would be a great choice IMO.

 

[SilverFox]

A whole fifty pence. MB you risk taker you!

Any news on Lenny?

Got to try for it IMO. If he came in I think we would have a 95% chance of staying up.

He is a very good manager and what he has achieved at Burnley with the resources available has been excellent.

 

[SilverFox]

It would undoubtedly sort the defence out!

Well, I'm afraid I'll have to be the dissenting voice. I hate having managers I don't like and Cotterill is someone I just don't like. If he kept us up I'd be happy of course but having him as manager after that six month period or whatever doesn't appeal to me. Why? I don't know - maybe its his negative tactics or his poor signings - I didn't like him when he was here before either, slate me for that if you want, my gut feeling is that I just don't like him - the idea of him as manager doesn't excite me at all. I guess as the soul gets increasingly ripped out of football I'd just rather have a manager I like running the team, just as I'd rather have players I like even if the other ones are 'doing a job'. It's not a popularity contest of course, if he gets results no-one will care if he's not liked by some.

ETA: Actually I don't like any of the managers mentioned, bar the unrealistic ones like Lennon, maybe I'm just disillusioned with the whole thing.

Same here Leigh I can't get any enthusiasm for the names menitoned or the Club in general at the moment maybe when a new Manager is named I might.I know it needs to be done quickly because nothing is going to improve with R Kelly in charge,Cotterill is the best of a poor uninvigorating bunch mentioned IMO

 

[No.6 Muzzy Izzet...]

HF, why are you so negative about Rob Kelly?

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Sorry, but I do not agree with the negativity towards Cotterill, and I certainly dont agree with the comments of poor signings and negative football.

He has inherited a side with very little resources and were perennial strugglers against relegation, now with feck all money and very little to tempt new signings to the club except his enthusiasm he has managed to turn them into possible play off contenders, in around 18 months, no mean feat.

He is a decent tactican, who knows and understands how to get the best out of his squad and to achieve results, given a better squad I am sure he would love to play more attacking football.

As for his signings, I think he has a great knack of identifing good young players from the lower leagues like Gareth O'Connor, and Jon Spicer and also being able to sign players with a point to prove and being able to get the best out of them such as Akinbiyi, James O'Connor and Jon Harley. With living in the North West, I hear a hell of a lot about this guy and I can assure it is all good.

IMO he would be an excellent choice as manager.

Posted this, with acknowledgement, on another forum.

You dont really say what it is you have against him apart from his 'negitive' tactics. When he was here he did really well with the defense and stopped them leaking so many goals towards the end of the season.

Couldn't agree more. My money went on Cotterill a few days ago at 10/1 he is now 5/1 with Mark Jarvis.

Current odds for some of the names mentioned:

Macallister 2/1
Reid 7/2
Kelly 9/2
Cotterill 5/1
Penny 8/1
Macari 16/1
Hoddle 16/1
Keegan 16/1

I believe Cotterill should be more like 2/1 so fill your boots.

He will be interviewed by the board, they liked him before and he was gutted to leave the club. I will never forget one of the last things I heard him say. "I will be back one day as manager" and he meant it.

Good post again PF. Lets keep our fingers crossed eh?

 

[MHS]

Just put 150 vcash on Cotterill to be next manager, come on!
