[Archived] Next Manager

[Black Burn]

I saw the highlights of the Wigan match and said to my husband what was the last time we saw that style of football in a league match at ewood and we couldn't remember. They passed and moved forwards, not backwards or sideways unless that was necessary. When they attacked they looked threatening not indecisive

When we took apart Charlton, Ipswich and Leeds. Wait, not Leeds, we beat them at Elland, sorry.

So when we took apart Charlton and Ipswich.

@reluctantnicko: @willtyrrell Most of work been done. But not finalised just yet. It's Lamberts job unless there is a cock up.

And this is now where the cretins really come into their own. If history has taught us one thing, it's there will be some sort of hitch/breakdown because of our beloved rich people who are temporarily in charge.

That's it then. We better start looking for a Lambert replacement ASAP.. Cock ups a speciality.

[Norbert Rassragr]

I agree with most of that. However if any of the top four choices were successful they'd be off if a Premier League club came in. That's the way of the World unfortunately.

True, but then Moyes would be off sooner than the others. He's still seen as a 'proper PL' manager and will therefore be higher up on Swansea's/Stoke's/Newcastle's list than the others.

[A cup of beans]

That's not a very nice thing to say. Bowyer, for all his faults, did a decent job. Granted, 3 wins in 16 is just not good enough, but comments like "doom personified" are uncalled for. He's a lot better than Kea - He Who Shall Not Be Named. I almost forgot BRFCS censored his name.

Might not be nice, but it's true.

Complete and utter novice and failure. Promoted way above his abilities. Out of his depth tactically, and would only have taken us down to league one.

Good riddance to him.

   @exiledlanc @willtyrrell This is a big test. There's a lot more to this than immediately comes to light.

I've got a very nasty image of Alan Nixon playing twister in his garden. Naked. Cheers Tom.

@exiledlanc @willtyrrell Will be doing a few stories in coming days. Surprise in store. And maybe a good one.

It's not true.

If getting 8th and 9th in the Championship is considered a "complete and utter novice and failure", I think the other 14 or 13 managers whose teams finished below us are...well, I don't know. Don't forget, Bowyer finished above Mick McCarthy in his first season in charge. An experienced manager.

Granted, this season is a failure, but you really are being quite...toxic toward Bowyer and promptly forgetting the good stuff he's done. I'm not saying you should be grateful and worship him, but the hate and venom are all undeserved.

Oh this could be more exciting than yesterday's news, the V's appointing a decent manager and a decent MD in the same week?

[broadsword]

Lambert really picked Norwich up and sorted them out. He is absolutely the right man for us.

An experienced man worn a decent track record we can all get behind. Wouldn't that be nice after the hell of the last five years

[K-Hod]

Why do people on twitter still think Nixon's in the know? He'll be lapping up this attention in front of the mirror, holding a picture of himself posing for a selfie I bet.

[Dan]

Arghhhh just rememberd whos waiting in the wings DAVID PLATT.

You won't get Platty for a bhaji and a fillet of curried fish!

[K-Hod]

Speaking of Platt, did anyone know the guy who used to play Martin Platt in Coronation Street has a cheese company? Couldn't believe my eyes in Asda yesterday!

[J*B]

I know its Nixon, but...

If on day one, Venkys sack GB, day two hire Lambert and sack Shaw and day three bring back John Williams.. I think i'd be warming to them?!

[Neal]

Shaw and Bowyer leaving? Someone care to come and give me a good slap?

Put me on ignore then, so my toxic nature doesn't contaminate your brfcc experience.

Come on K-hod let us dream for a bit....

[Blue blood]

If we have potted the entire back room team while being at the stage of not even formally approaching a manager (as would be the case with someone currently employed) then we are in a very very bad place. Every chance we would be turned down the approach, or the manager would reject us, and we will be left trying to run the club with 2 coaches.

Nightmare scenario.

Good point although perhaps it makes it more attractive being able to bring in your team? Maybe there's an in work then out of work option? Or perhaps that's too much thinking for Venkys. Didn't we sound out the former Watford guy who's in a job?

Having 3 or 4 comparative clubs needing managers does mean there's a bit more of a time pressure on to get someone in though.

We could win the Champions League five times on the bounce and i would never forgive these cretins for what they have done/are doing.

Blimey. The only thing that could top all this is an Arab Sheikh turning us into the next Manchester City.

He's got a mixed record but he seems on top of the Lambert story.

The other stuff he's alluding to I don't think it's worth paying attention to until he provides actual names.

[DE.]

Whilst I would take anything Nixon says with a pinch of salt - is it possible Venky's advisor was not just looking at Bowyer? Perhaps he was looking at the whole structure and has reported back on Shaw's uselessness as well.
