Next manager

These links are all coming from HITC.

What parallel universe have I walked in to where people are advocating for Ollie McBurnie and Scotty ******* Parker to orchestrate our promotion push?!

Half of you must be on drugs, and the other half probably should be.

[northeastclaret]

If the new guy is happy just running joes cafe rather than itching for a Michelin star then they might be better for us.

For me Parker wouldn’t be someone always looking for the next job

Probably because he knows is stock is so low after three consecutive sackings, no fans from his previous clubs have a kind word to say about him , has a reputation for being arrogant and hasn’t been linked to any other clubs because nobody else is interested.

Probably why Parker wouldn’t be looking for another job because he won’t be able to believe his luck in getting ours.

Which half of me and how can I tell?

[South West Claret.]

Just give the Coventry fella a go and have done with it.

[ClaretAndJew]

Just put £25 on Hjulmand at 5/1. Now gone down to 4/1

Mugs game.

[Pearcey]

I’m starting to think that you’re Mark Robins!

[South West Claret.]

No just his agent

[Hedontplayforyou]

Scott Parker’s clarets n blue cardi

[Guller Bull]

I just put £20 on Bellamy - it took the bet and instantly logged me out with a Lechyd Da! message???

It is strange how low Parker’s stock appears to be given he has one of the best records in the Championship in recent years.

Do we think it’s just down to his personality?

I think arrogance could be labelled why every name that has been linked to our job. RVN arrogant, kompany certainly came across arrogant last season.

Parker isn’t my choice at all but if he’s the option other than Bellamy or Lampard I would choose Parker every time

Maybe he doesn't want a mid-table job (Sunderland for example) while no other promotion chasing club (Leeds, Soton, Leicester) wanted him.

[ClaretAndJew]

I really did though

[South West Claret.]

At least Parker has a very good record in Championship.

[clive40golf]

Although I can understand why some people don’t want Bellamy to be our next permanent manager, I think we have to give him some credit for steadying the boat for us . He could have just walked away but he decided he had a loyalty towards the players.
I do find some of the things being said about him rather disrespectful.

Possibly, but I was more thinking of why there has been no enthusiasm whatsoever for him amongst the fans. There’s a visceral recoiling by lots of people whenever he’s been mentioned before.

[Foshiznik]

It won't be much longer will it?

That's a very generous way of looking at it.

It's the uncanny valley effect. The bloke isn't quite what he appears in some intangible way, like he's not human attempting to pass as a real person.

[claretskeith]

If it's between Parker who has promoted a team twice from the Championship, and Bellamy, then all those with common sense will agree Parker is the better option. A good option? Time will tell. But the better option.

This Week

[NewClaret]

Out of interest, re: McBurnie, who would you you sign instead that has a better record than 9 G/A in 21 games in the Premier League playing in the only team worse than us? That we could afford of course.

If he could cut it with them in the premier league with them I’m pretty sure he’d be a good asset to us in the Championship?

[Wokingclaret]

Still on T minus 8

Not sure it actually means anything?

[It Is What It Is]

I'm.still fingers crossed for OGS.
Big name, educated by Fergie, big game player, creative and brings out the best in the younger players of the squad.
Dyche was full of admiration for him the way he dealt with the young players in the squad which would benefit us greatly.
He's hardly mentioned on this thread which indicates a lot don't really consider him.

[South West Claret.]

Didn’t he fail dismally at Cardiff?

[Hedontplayforyou]

Sometimes I log on, press on this link and then think that I’ve pressed on a page that I’ve already read . When actually I’m up to date .

[It Is What It Is]

Didn’t he fail dismally at Cardiff?

Yes but Cardiff was a s...t show with no investment and failed to back OGS

[beddie]

I’m still convinced it’s Kasper. If it’s was Parker for instance there would be no hold up, he’s not exactly doing anything so the deal would and could have been done sometime ago, likewise others. Anyway if I had money to throw away I’d have it all on Kasper.

Although I agree there shouldn’t be a hold up with Parker, there is the issue regarding back room staff needed

[AGENT_CLARET]

Kit launch

[Vegas Claret]

I still don't see how a Parker or a Bellamy fits the way the club have been doing things in terms of transfers. If they want to attract young players to sell for a profit then neither of those lads will have the pull (imho)

[Vegas Claret]

Bellamy isn’t Maresca is he , two different people, do I really need to explain this .

yes you do, this should be interesting.

[ervi34]

I think it's pointless comparing that way. If we appoint Bellamy, and if he does well, that won't have anything to do with how Maresca did. If he fails, it won't have to do anything with the fact that Jason Tindall failed as a manager aa few years ago.

[Darnhill Claret]

We can still attract players to our club by saying that the current Bayern Munich manager chose us and it didn't do his career any harm. Same with Maatsen and Tella.
Sell the club to them by saying how ambitious the owners are to grow the club by returning to the Premier League.

At the moment, our stock is as high as it has ever been to the neutral, although it would have been even higher if still in the Prem.

[kentonclaret]

If you don’t see the names Moyes, Potter, Cooper, Van Bronckhurst mentioned anywhere then you are probably on the correct page.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Why are we selling players without a manager in situ?

What if the incoming manager wants those players, it is not going very well is it?

Starting to think Pace has bitten off more than he can chew with this new job.

I think we are bringing in a head coach. Maybe he will have no say on who we sign and sell.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Who is making the decisions though Tony, i dont think any self respecting manager will want someone not qualified to be making these decisions making them for him though. This has disaster written all over it.

If we are letting Bellamy guide the chairman then what is his role apart from caretaker, where does he go once the new man comes in if he does?

I cant see any good manager with a decent track record wanting to work with a load of people he doesnt know especially with a chairman with two relegations on his cv.

[HahaYeah]

Maybe it's Bellamy beginning to sell players because he's been given the job, just not signed the contract yet.

[123EasyasBFC]

To me hjulmand seems more of a manager than a head coach, which again makes the initials random links to him even stranger.

I would say Parker seems more of a manager than head coach to

It's our 4th keeper. If they start selling our first XI (other than for those who want out for big fees) then we should be concerned. Not when it's BPF.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

It will be the cheapest option for him and he might think he can do as good as Kompany on a lesser wage, win-win.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Yes we will have to wait and see what happens in the next 5 weeks.

I'm assuming you hadn't heard of him until this summer, which is probably the same for the majority on here. He's more of a coach than manager although his experience has shown him to be a good leader. He's literally Denmark's Head Coach. He's also well known in the footballing world for his studious preparation, analysis and coaching. A football nerd if you will.

[123EasyasBFC]

There’s been a lot of people on hearing saying they would love Fabregas and he’s just appeared on sky bet at 33/1 from nowhere

For me it was an interview he did where he said he spent 12 months planning before taking over at Denmark, just lead me to think he’s the one fully in control and not just the head coach. Maybe because he’s slightly older makes me feel like he’s more of a manager. Could be totally wrong and from your post looks like I may have miss read him

[Conroy92]

This thread should be labelled Be Careful What You Wish For and put on one of the announcements at the top. Then every time we complain about something and end up with worse, it should be added. Would make some interesting reading .

In all seriousness, people were turning there noses up at Moyes and Lampard at the start and now the likley looking candidates are Bellamy or Parker.
