Scary thought this, if Ferguson became Man U manager in this day and age, he would've got sacked in his 1st season!

If there is meant to be new investment... Then we could get a big name/buy out a manager's contract.

How would it? (Genuine question)

But in proportion to league, revenue etc. :confused:

Hasn't he had a large budget though?

I think the next manager needs to be one who can work on a 'shoe-string' budget... Tisdale or Abbott co'mon down... ;)

Greg Abbott, Tisdale easily However, for a wildcard... Ray Wilkins! :D

Unlikely he'd look at us, but he was a really good assistent manager at Chelsea, unemployed and I think he is looking to get back into management. Would command respect and has great contacts...

Keogh who was in the last year in his contract and we got 1m for him! That was a good deal, because he weren't going to sign a new contract come April, especially if we didn't get promoted. Bigi, when a big club comes knocking, he was going to go, you take them opportunities in life...

That's probably why Tisdale rejected Swansea. I hope he'd come to us as he might feel we could get promoted to the prem and he'll be regarded even higher in the football world, we can dream.

The system isn't to blame, it is ridiculous to suggest if we play for example, 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, our fortunes would've been different. 1st half against Bury we dominated midfield, width weren't a problem, we were playing excellent football, it was going so smoothly, then...

I feel without Poyet, Wise isn't the real deal IMO. Greg Abbott or Tisdale, we should do everything we can to get Tisdale, fantasic manager and plays good football. But I doubt whether Tisdale would want to come to Cov so Abbott.

Why not? :confused::confused::confused: Doing a good job at Carlisle.

I think realistically, it'll be Greg Abbott, cheap and cheerful, loves the club, got Carlisle punching above their weight and can work on a shoestring budget... Perfect for SiSU, and us fans tbh. I'd love it if we got Tisdale, but considering he rejected Swansea... :whistle:

I think they'll be in charge for Brum, maybe Crewe and Burton, but I think because it's so early we're going to try get someone in before the window is closed so the new 'gaff' has a chance to bring in 1-2 players of his own. Remember, AT and Harrison were given the caretaker role 'til the...

A lot of managers can talk the talk, but when it comes to the walk... I hope Blackwell is not our new manager, but if appointed, he'll have my support.

Sheff Wed, when they sacked him, replaced him with Jones and got promoted???

Not going to lie, I hope we keep the formation, it's a good system, will work a LOT better when Thomas and Clarke come back. If we keep or not depends on the manager, for example, if Tisdale comes (although he rejected Swansea and another job better than ours), we might keep it as he plays real...

Abbott will definately apply, he applied last time, he'd be well up for it being one of us, and he'd have better chance of getting the job as he'll demand low wages, he's worked on a shoe string budget and we're in L1, he and Tisdale will be right up there!

I have no opinion on the sacking at the minute, we'll see come April! But to those who are saying it was correct but at the wrong? You sack him if you no longer have faith in him, why wait more games, where more points can be lost before acting, say we waited 10 games and it went badly...
