New Manager Thread

[Tamesaint]

After being so cross, less than a year ago,  that we had appointed Tonda as manager (" typical SR . Trying to be too clever. Doing it on the cheap. etc ") I think that I will wait before judging any new manager.

Scott Parker for me. 
 

The modern day Neil Warnock, promotion specialist

Isn’t Edwards more direct in style?

Wonder how Azaz etc would do with that style

Imagine if we go for another 3 at the back wanker.

SR love a bit of 3 CBs in the team. Maybe Fellows will flourish as a RWB.

Thankfully we don't really have the squad for it.

Kieran McKenna would be my preference.

Rumoured to being lined up to replace Carrick at man u.

Would be a tough choice for him ... us or them 😉

Not sure we have in recent history. Maybe when Hoddle was manager

Yet, for some reason until now, those who SR appoint seem to gravitate to it...

I really hope it's not Rob Edwards or any other manager that will insist on a back three.

4-2-3-1 is clearly the correct formation for this squad. Would be mental to so fundamentally change such a successful approach.

Get Adkins in to just be a motivator sticking with Tondas tactics till he's back.

I’m not surprised the fuckwits at Sports Republic are looking at Rob Edwards.  Would be an absolute toilet appointment.

Rob Edwards is very hot and miss, no doubt which part of his managerial stint he’d do for us.

I mean, you are right in the sense that TE has been a gem. But simultaneously, your instincts were right. He has royally f-ed us too.

Any manager that gets Luton Town in Premier League has to be good.

What about a manager that then gets back to back relegations to League One?

I mean, I think he's all right. Solid. But we're terrible playing 3 at the back, and that's his MO. 

Not a good fit, for me.
