New Head Coach

Completely agree with this. I never post anything negative about the club as don't think it helps (apart from one post about SD but it was after he left and I was just glad to get rid of him). However, I do worry when we have people in the club, at any level, who are capable of completely mis-reading or not understanding the fan base. That should be something the club ensures can't happen by hiring the right people - something that they do appear to be trying to do on the operations and exec director side of things, so hopefully things like the BCB that would never happen if a fan was in charge, can never happen again.

 

I think he's good, but no better than maybe hundreds of other coaches that don't get the chance because they don't have the name.

 

Just like Rosenior seems to be getting the credit for Derby a couple of years ago alongside Rooney...Beale got that same credit behind Gerrard at Rangers. We know what happened to Beale when he was the head coach. Rosenior could be the same.

 

I think you’re being a little disrespectful on Mowbray who massively over achieved here, and was liked almost universally by all the playing staff.

Whatever methods, preparation and training he used clearly worked because he achieved playoffs in his first season and was sacked whilst we were 3 points adrift of the playoffs in his second season.

Fast forward 5 months and 2 ‘modern coaches’ later, we finished in 16th and 6 points adrift of relegation.

Give me a choice of Still and Mowbray and I’m taking Mowbray all day.

Still might go on to achieve plenty in the game, but he might not, Reims wernt exactly desperate to keep him despite multiple languages that you like.

Mowbray complained whilst here and so has every other manager under this current regime, they all seem to have the same problems and the club refuse to address them.

Rosenior linked to Burnley

 

I don’t believe it matters who we get, if we don’t get positions filled that every fan knows needs filling we will be kissing our next manager goodbye before the end of the season.

 

Not at all, I really liked him but part of that is because I'm a lot like him ...

... blunt, sarcastic and a bit grumpy

I'm talking more in regards to how the owner may have seen him.

His moaning was unrealistic in my opinion, we had lots of foreign players when he signed the contract ...

... that's modern football for most clubs and managers, like Mowbray, need to adapt or die out.

 

He'd suit them imo.

 

It looks more and more like messiah Mike could end up returning

 

The more I’ve read the more I want him here haha. I’m really intrigued to see who we actually get

 

I was sure it's Still yesterday, after the text I received today I'd be shocked if he's not announced in a week.

I wouldn't risk the inevitable flak if I didn't trust what I've been told ...

... the RTG spies will have read this by the time I've finished typing

 

To be fair mate, no non-league managers I know would want to work under the way SAFC is organised currently. But that's the way the club is running, so we need to appoint someone who will work that way. Mowbray wasn't happy with it but someone, like Still, brought up in a different football culture, probably will be more used to it.

 

This is why I can't go along with people saying the club should be able to 'read the fanbase' ...

... there were two consecutive posts earlier, one wanting him and the other saying they'd be gutted.

I don't think there's long to wait and the Cup Finals are starting.

 

I think that's why it's taking so long, Still wants to watch the FA Cup final. And the conference league final.

 

Intriguing!

 

Imagine just how smug you can be if this does happen?

sorry I’ve run out of will still puns

 

Been told it’s done like?

 

To be fair I'm only passing on info from other people so it's them who'll be smug ...

... it seems an ex-player has just messaged one of them, was asked a question and didn't deny it.

TBH, I'd rather be wrong and have the announcement made at half time in the Cup Final

I'd prefer not to be wrong entirely though.

 

I was told Still had been offered a contract over a month ago, the wait is as bad for me as anyone mate.

 

You will be the new Oracle if this comes off, with great power comes great responsibility
