Just listened back (FA Cup build-up program on BBC Sounds, from about 20 mins in) and it’s weird. Presenter made no mention of JDT leaving and he basically implied people are interested in JDT. Would honestly be very upset about him leaving, but I can’t say I’d blame him if a Premiership team came in. Money to spend, etc. We’ve not been working with much and we can’t seem to work with what we do get, anyway. 2 Quote

roverandout Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 He needs an in-game management coach. Someone who has some tactical acumen. A Terry venables or Glen hoddle type figure. I always say the same about Southgate 1 Quote

Yes exactly that, was absolutely no need to mention it.. was just asked about us as a club and then JDT as a coach.. all he had to do was big both up, pretty shocking in my opinion 3 Quote

Really bizarre comments, and totally unprompted, unless there was a question put to him that was edited out. No idea why he would say they have plans for the next manager if JDT leaves unless he was asked about it. 1 Quote

I’ve not listened but maybe it was a clumsy attempt at demonstrating how ‘succession planning’ is part of his job? Like you say though, don’t say anything unless asked (and possibly not even then) Edited March 19, 2023 by wilsdenrover 1 Quote

BankEnd Rover Posted March 19, 2023 Posted March 19, 2023 The subs lost us the game today and that unfortunately falls down to the manager…However that does not change or rule out the unreal job he’s done this season. Some huge games coming up…. 2 Quote

If he does go that must be near the top of his list of reasons. That’s why we’ll never thrive under the Chicken Chokers. I think he’d already have walked if that was going to be the reason but as Tyrone says it would surely be one of the reasons if he did. I’m not sure we currently have a persuasive argument for convincing him to stay. I guess, like with all walks of life, it will depend on what opportunities (if any) are presented to him. 1 Quote

Armchair supporter supremo Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Personally I'd lose a lot of respect for jdt if he leaves this summer after all of his and GBs talk about us being on a long term journey with them at the helm.... Unless it was a big champions league club that wanted him that we couldn't even closely compete with salary wise. Hopefully he will be offered a big improved new deal her soon Edited March 20, 2023 by Armchair supporter supremo Quote

I’d be less concerned if we had a board who knew what they were doing. We lost a succession of really good managers in the 1979’s but each time we managed to get another good one in. I think with JDT it was more luck than judgement. 1 Quote

Backroom Mike E Posted March 20, 2023 Backroom Posted March 20, 2023 I expect it was just a clumsy way of describing succession planning. Successful managers leave eventually, UNLESS we can sell them the ambition. The trouble we have is that the ambition comes from GB amd JDT, but nobody else at the club. 5 Quote

I presume you mean just the management side as I think the players have ambition too. It would be great to have an ambitious ‘senior management’ team but I’d settle for a competent one… 2 Quote
