Warne, like Ainsworth has earned a chance. Why not with us? I think he’s a good manager 👍🏼

What makes you think he isn’t?

Good manager - deserves a chance like Aunsworrh. I’d be ok with giving either of these or big Dunc a go!

No, I’ve employed a lot of people in my time (Pronably more than Waggot). Many many times I’ve been in the dark during the process and yet it’s rarely taken over 4 weeks and what I’ve learned is to keep it simple because people in general are complex. There can be no guarantees who will be successful because there are so many variables. Cooper had shown nothing at Swansea to suggest he’d take Chris Hughtons (Serial Champ winner) Forest up. Scott Parker has many blotches on his CV, as does Silva who looks clueless every time we see him in the Prem. Alternatively, Jokanovic starting the season at Sheff United looked absolutely nailed on as a top manager appointment whilst Farke has as many failings as successes on his CV and Carvalhal (the ‘other’ chosen one is apparently much the whore and will go anywhere for an extra bob or two…he also has ZERO championship promotions. So, whilst I respect your opinion, I have no idea who has promised you / us an ‘experienced’ man. We had one of those in the previous incumbent, which didn’t work out. For me, I’d want to see a full process followed of application, cv review, first and second interviews etc - but should one of my final candidates be personally recommended by a managerial God like Carlo Ancelotti, that would create a huge sway in my mind on top of the knowledge I’d gained. Especially if the candidate had impressed me. Theres nothing over zealous or premature about a 4wk+ process. None of us are privy to the full information but I hate inertia and am prepared to tip quicker than most. So yeah, if Carlo is backing Big Dunc, I’d be open to giving him a chance over wheeling out yet another ‘safe pair of hands’ and boring the shit out of everyone!

Why thank you, it’s quite an achievement

I just can’t seeing being anything other than 💯disciplined. The answer is, I don’t know…but of all the options I’ve seen, I’d do a deal for Dunc!

I Don’t drink. I just think he’s our guy! I want a manager with passion and I’m sick of the soft underbelly of that squad…

You boys can rhyme as many off as you like…I’d take every one of those recommendations over yours! Theres a million reasons why some work out and some don’t but I’d rather Carlo be making the decision than Waggot!

Carlo is the Don!! Champions league winning, elite manager ringing that belter, Waggot up telling him Big Dunc is the dogs danglies and we’re pissin about doing DBS checks for Nigel Adkins - DO THE DEAL FOR BIG DUNC!! 💪🏽🔥🔥

Who says he didn’t?

If Big Dunc’s good enough for Carlo, he’s good enough for me!! Do the deal I say!

What makes you so sure it spells disaster? Ferguson is pretty well thought of as is Unsworth and Walsh was arguably the most sought after DoF in English football when he left Leicester? Sounds like an interesting mix if it were to materialise 🤷🏽‍♂️ There’s tons of ‘tried and tested’ who fail too! Personally I’d be open for Ferguson, Carrick, Manning, Ainsworth and any of the foreign coaches - I feel we need something fresh and new. Want us to stay away from yesterdays men like Adkin’s, Pardew

If take this…👍🏼

I think Ainsworth has shown himself capable of galvanising a club and winning promotions with small budgets. The fact that he loves the club is a bonus… Based on standard rhetoric, Mowbray was the right choice in terms of a history of getting promotion into the PL. It didn’t work. We nearly went up against all the odds last season. There’s no magic formula, especially when you don’t have the budget to blow the league away.

I’d take Ainsworth, he’s paid his dues and deserves a chance on merit. Feels like it could be a Wilder to Sheff Utd type appointment…the extra % that he’d give for the cause as a lifelong fan is worth its weight in gold.

I’d love Farke…but I’d also be ready to give a chance to Ainsworth, Ferguson or Manning if they were appointed.

He wouldn’t want it. More likely DoF than a manager.

They’re not gone though are they? I haven’t read or seen anything showing them holding a scarf up at another club. Its been 3-4 weeks guys. A normal timeframe for a 60+ applicant, two stage process…

How do you know this? It’s just pure opinion…

Agreed, drives me insane!!

Sound, be upset then. That’s your choice though…your choice to be angry and upset about things you cannot control.

I don’t think any of the evidence points to your assertions being correct….we didn’t only take 60 odd applications from freebies, did we? We don’t know who has been interviewed? If they’d planned to pot Mowbray last year, how could they maintain a plan over a 12 month timeframe? If the plan was to let Mowbray leave and then cast our net out to find the best possible team then that’s still a plan… If we finish up with Farke and Webber on 13/06 none of us will care that it took a month or so 👍🏼

I agree mate, I’m not one for benchmarking everything on the past, I was just replying to a poster who was pointing out the last 12 years. In all honesty, I’ll be gutted if we get an Adkins or Grayson too but I’d be open to most of the others mentioned. Would love Farke or Carvalhal. But I refuse to let daily rumours ruin my day. I’ll deal with my delight / despair when a manager and DOF are appointed. Glen is rarely off when he’s this sure so I won’t be ruling Farke out until he’s signed elsewhere.

You don’t know they’re in a mess though. Sure, they could be…but either way, there’s nothing us mere mortals can do about it. Don’t let it ruin anything in your life pal. 👍🏼

May I ask how many high level appointments you’ve made in any industry? We have clients who have 6 point recruitment processes, including psych testing etc for jobs paying much less, with less profile. A friend of mine applied for the England under 21 job and had three interviews before they binned him!
