I fear I just did pal.

I don't think you have pal.

Let me get this right, a guy who has managed at International, Premiership and Championship level is not good enough for us?

Yes. Why is that so hard to understand.

[JLStag]

All that aside does anyone honestly think a bloke who was on £3.5 mil in china will be interested in a job in L2?

Why does managing at a level, and not achieving anything other than outside club football, automatically mean he's a good manager? Look deeper into the jobs he has done. You're being seduced by a name.

Next level Stagsnet this

I'd hate to think who musings would accept as a reasonable appointment if chris coleman isn't good enough?bit of a pointless argument really,I can't believe we are in with a chance?of course,you can prove me wrong John and carolyn

I'd rather have a whole host of people, and they would be a lot cheaper and a lot more realistic.

Phil Parkinson, Michael Appleton to name two. Two people who know the league and have achieved at his level. Managers who's 'success' as a club manager wasn't over a decade ago.

Not achieving anything apart from

- Securing 10 out of 15 points upon his appointment at Fulham to ensure survival in the Premier League against all odds
- Guided them to 9th in his second season in the Premier League - their highest ever league finish in the modern era
- Established Fulham as a steady mid table side in arguably the best league in the world
- Took them to an FA Cup quarter final
- Kept a side with a very modest budget and a limited fanbase in the Premier League for five years.

He then went on to

- Qualify for Euro 2016 with a Wales team consisting of just one world class player
- Take that same team to the semi finals of the European Championships. (Yes, of course this is relevant! He was the bloody manager of the team!)


But obviously he's never achieved anything.

Parkinson would divide support with his route one win 1-0 approach and if you believe what you read has turned down Lincoln and southend's already,appleton not such a bad shout but again......would he come?If we are the club with ambition that our chairman and CEO go on about then why not put the infastructure in place?chris coleman imo would rip league two up even tho I don't believe for a minute he would come.Little things like a 3 sided ground would go against us I fear.the club in general are going in the right direction,we just need to kick on starting with the removal of the present manager and keeping certain directors out of the process of selecting the next appointment

[tillydog123]

Would be a stunning appointment if true but sounds a bit fanciful to me and not sure he would even consider thinking about league 2 after the clubs he has managed.
Nice post and got me buzzing immediately at least for a few hours.

Perhaps an interview panel selected from the wealth of experts on this forum?

[MutinyOnTheCounty]

I'd rather keep Dempster than have him.

So would I.

Coleman managed in the Premier League for five years, and took a bang average Wales side to the semi-finals of the European Championships just three years ago...but you'd rather have Dempster?

This place cracks me up at times

I think the criticism is perhaps based on personal dislike, rather than managerial capabilities?


Unfortunately there's no chance of him coming here, so it's all a bit 'Hamilton' (Academical )

[Sedgwick]

Believe it when I see it.

Think his name alone would inspire this squad to do something.

- Securing 10 out of 15 points upon his appointment at Fulham to ensure survival in the Premier League against all odds - 16 years ago.
- Guided them to 9th in his second season in the Premier League - their highest ever league finish in the modern era - 15 years ago.
- Established Fulham as a steady mid table side in arguably the best league in the world - 15 years ago
- Took them to an FA Cup quarter final - 15 years ago
- Kept a side with a very modest budget and a limited fanbase in the Premier League for five years. 12 years ago

He has had 12 years to achieve something else in club football since then and hasn't managed it.

Then went on to do extremely well at the Euro's, in the easiest Euro's ever to qualify for. Again, International management completely different to club management.

No,just the right decision for the club going forward will be fine edwinstowe.

Can’t argue with that Huckers.

This is like reading " What did the Romans ever do for us"

[Sedgwick]

I hope who ever comes in freshens it up a bit.... do something brave like replace one of the back 3, sign competition for left back etc etc. Let those who have been here for a while and done nothing go

Dempster should of done this after being so close to the squad.

[NG17_stag]

For 3 marks, sum up Stagsnet in one sentence:

Imagine taking wales to a semi final in the Euros to have someone who knows nothing about football management telling you you're not good enough to manage a league 2 side...

[BH_Stag]

This speculation has been the most exciting bit of the season so far

Hymas would hound him out anyway for not putting a full youth team out in the starting 11

I think it shows what he could do with us.... In the premier league and at a massive club like Sunderland where half the squad didn't want to play motivating players and trying to get the best out of them just isnt enough.

What he did with an average Wales side he could do here, similar job I think despite the level. (prepared to be called clueless by someone who thinks different)

Still think anyone who fails to bring through 11 youth players and get promoted whilst praising the RH academy will get the Hymas chop
