[Archived] New Manager

[Hughesy]

Down in London for a couple of days and interestingly enough, have heard several people link Curbishley with job.

My previous understanding was that he nearly replaced Kean at one stage and I think he met at least one of the brothers back then.

Yes he met them prior to the Chelsea game, hotel in London. Royal something, cant remember the name of it now.

[Steve Moss]

My preferred choice when Berg got the gig. Curbishley may have been out of the game a wee while longer than many would hope their manager to be, but he talks sense and he knows how to teach the basics very very well. Football is made to be far more complicated than it needs to be sometimes.

Curbishley would be an excellent choice.

And your comment made me smile. When I was at a weekend youth coaching course in Vegas, and stressing about remembering all the information being thrown at us, an old Italian coach once told me "Football is a simple game. It takes a genius to mess it up."

[OJRovers]

Would Owen Coyle get a good reception if unveiled as boss?

I wouldn't be wholly supportive as with Berg, but think we could do worse.

[John]

Coyles results record over the past 18 months were worse than Kean's - that takes some doing.

SEM connection too..

[dwayne cage]

Not a fan of Coyle at all but could do worse I'd get behind him.

[Athlete]

got a sneaky feeling for Nuno Gomes as player manager already at the club and be told who he's having as backroom staff..thats reading between the lines twitter as it has to be someone close to be announced so soon..unless they had some one lined up but with the shebby/agnew show thats not possoible ?

[DE.]

Coyle is an SEM client. Considering everything that's gone down between SEM and Venky's over the past couple of years, Coyle's appointment would only point to one thing. I don't think it'll be anyone connected with SEM, personally.

[Lhrover]

I hope its not Coyle, I hated him at Burnley, wouldnt be right getting behind someone they used to think so highly of

[roverandout]

and nuno gomes has done what to inherit this position? not having a go at you athlete, just at the thought, he probably doesnt even have any coaching badges, i still think we will get a proper manager in.

That's the last thing we would need. We could kiss goodbye to the playoffs if that happened. I wouldn't want Coyle either. Curbishley would be a good shout, but Hughes would still be my first choice.

nothing pal just whats on twitter and gomes linked of on Friday plus he's already at the club so no cost involved Portugese shebby link as far as shebby concerned experienced ( not at Championship or PL I may add but shebbys a fool )..I hope it isn't as we need an experienced manager with his own backroom staff with full control over all team affairs with no interference from the shebby or agnew

curbishley never comes north and been out the game too long IMO and his backroom people who he works with are employed elsewhere

better still Singh FO out of Ewood

[roverandout]

agreed

[Andy]

If anyone actually finds out who is going to be the new manager before it's common knowledge, please send me a PM with his name.

I'm a bit skint after Xmas and if it's someone like Curbishley or Coyle, I could get some of my money back from Paddy Power

Share the knowledge and all that

[roverandout]

is anyone really feeling any anticipation about tuesday when they name our new 'manager'? im not, its like waking up on christmas morning hoping for a he-man action figure, but getting another whooly jumper!!!

[Hughesy]

Sean O'Driscoll was at the Barnsley game - could it be him maybe?

[Blandy]

I'm with you on this one Athlete Nuno as manager with Mcdonald as his No.2. If the announcement is to be made at the Forest game they must have already agreed with someone; If it was to be Hughes or someone like Curbishley surely it would have leaked by now.

[roverandout]

el tomb, did they have every day of the week on them like good old jim's??? (i know there are only 7 days in a week)

andy cryer has already stated they have gone cold on the idea of gomes because of fan backlash etc

[dwayne cage]

Or receiving 19 pairs of socks like I did.

That's no exaggeration by the way. 19!

Yeah well I got 4 shower gel sets and a box of Maltesers!

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Sean O'Driscoll was at the Barnsley game - could it be him maybe?

Is that from twitter or is it actually genuine?

Torn between Hughes and Curbs as who my first choice would be....probably Hughes and we could hopefully try and get Bentley back on loan.

[davulsukur]

Really hope its not Coyle.

Shebby considering Gomes at all just shows what a complete clown he really is.

Genuine

And whats Bentley done in the last 3-4 years which would want us to sign him on loan??

[ABBEY]

Owen Coyle's a dingle turd

jack del rio for me ...best defence coach ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
