New Manager Thread

How can anyone even one or two steps left or right of Sanity...think that Rooney would suit the vacancy at DC. FFS....
As a kid I recall Billy Smarts Circus in Kings Park...that was a good gig.. you could also visit the menagerie as it was known. see the elephants, giraffes and a multitude of monkeys...talk to a clown or two !
But Batman.....I don't relish the sight of a thousand cameramen chasing Colleen Rooney into a Christchurch Shoe Shop splashed across half the pages of Bournemouth Echo with no space left for a Harry Ramsdens advert or a Solanke hat - trick v Manu..

Nah ...leave the dynamic duo over the pond to pedal their products across the wheat fields of Wyoming and go dogging in Hollywood car parks.
 
Looking at the bookies they literally don’t have a clue now. Dyche 7/4 then the rest are 7/1 etc.

Literally not a clue
Might be wrong but I don’t think that the odds related to a market like this are controlled by the bookies inside knowledge. The odds will just fluctuate based on who the money is being put on.

You’re right. But I’m saying we are 5 days into the market and everyone is still clueless; you’d expect a front runner
 
Sounds from insights from the athletic that the recruitment team at afcb are very meticulous in their list of targets (despite what you might read on here) so you would expect the club to have a clear list of possible manager options. Parker was tracked for a long while, for example.

With afcb getting promoted there must be a risk that either

1. Parker would be lured away by another club or
2. if we struggled at the start of the new prem season he would leave.

Thus, would expect us to have clear targets.

Cue - predictable counter arguments!
 
I still think Dyche would be a good fit for what we probably need long term. O’Neil’s absolute master stroke at halftime is definitely intriguing me though lol, especially with how desperate that performance was looking. His past experience with Liverpool and current form clearly evidences a good understanding of both the squad and our tactical setup, as well as tactics in general. At the very least I hope he continues being an asset for us as an assistant coach/first team coach.

Ideally, I guess we would want a positive-minded, attack-minded manager; a good man-manager, and someone who specifically has a good level of experience with back 3s. Also would like to see a generally sunnier, happier, more respectful and humble presence in the dugout. O’Neil’s coming across really well so far; upbeat, positive, humble, focused. He’s impressing me, and it’s been nice to have that feeling of togetherness back from the guy at the top. I already feel like he “gets” us way more than Parker did, and having Cooper and Elphick probably helps with this.

Also on tactics, playing a back 3 with expansive wingbacks is actually a pretty damn attacking setup when it’s executed correctly; it was Parker’s that were a bit more…dross.

Long term is a style of play from the youth set up through U18 and development squad to the first team.

The ginger allardyce is not a good fit for that
