Sky Sports understands that Jim Magilton is in the running for the manager's job at Coventry City.

wouldnt be my first choice

craigSKYBLUE · Aug 27, 2012

He wouldn't take any crap that's for sure..but I'm unsure of if I'd want him..

stupot07 · Aug 27, 2012

Not for me thanks.

craigSKYBLUE · Aug 27, 2012

He won more than he lost with an average Ipswich team

WeWillBeBack · Aug 27, 2012

Yep, did a job at Ipswich. No doubt that he'd have players from his time in England that would want to play for him.

stupot07 · Aug 27, 2012

Yeah he did well at Ipswich but I'd rather have someone who knows this league. Lot of people have pointed at Norwich and Southampton bringing in managers early on in the season and getting promoted - both Atkins and Lambert knew this league, not brought in becaus people recognised their names*

People need to wind in expectations. We are offering the opportunity to manage a skint league 1 club. Magilton would be ok

stupot07 · Aug 27, 2012

I'm not after a big name - a Tisdale or Abbott would do me, know this league, done well on low budgets problem is most fans haven't heard of them but have heard of Magilton, Wise, Davies, Dublin, mcCarthy, etc

25% win ratio at Melbourne Victory, bit better than Thorn's I suppose.

Team Nat From To Record
G W D L Win %
Ipswich 5 June 2006 22 April 2009 156 59 43 54 37.82
QPR 3 June 2009 16 December 2009 23 9 7 7 39.13
Melbourne Victory- 7 January 2012 2 April 2012 12 3 5 4 25.00
Total 191 71 55 65 37.17

his stats aren't that bad not amazing but decent.

What Norwich and Southampton did to get out of this league was simple; they got in a manager who knew the league and spent a fair bit of money. It doesn't have to be a big manager, it doesn't even have to be an overly successful one ( Lambert and Adkins had around 45% win ratio for Colchester and Scunnythorpe)

SkyBluesAndy · Aug 27, 2012

They say Magilton but then haven't even bothered to add him to the list on SkyBet

tommydazzle · Aug 27, 2012

Lambert certainly did not spend a great deal on Norwich's promotion - one strange fact is that most if not all of the Norwich squad were British although I'm sure this is not significant?

The Penguin · Aug 27, 2012

He didn't do well at the Victory: poor results, very average football played...mind you he inherited a dreadful squad, apart from Kewell and a couple of others. Plus there may have been some behind the scenes issues which meant he was never going to be given a longer deal. Fair to say though that I, as a Victory fan, was not unhappy that he went back to Britain.

I know his record at Ipswich was pretty good though.

Would prefer others but he's certainly experienced.

He did spend quite a fair bit at Ipswich though. They had a great home record with an awful away record. That isn't consistant enough for me.

Given how rubbish we were away from home last season, we probably don't want him then!

Beat mates with Dowie! Doubt Dowie would encourage him to work for SISU

Chris Wilder has a similar percentage record to those 2 as someone posted elsewhere

Oxford united manager, first full season in charge took them up from BSP to L2, led them to safety with a 12th placed finish in L2, and last season was in play offs majority of season before narrowly missing out, and this season 3 wins from 3 top of L2.

For Oxford - 184 games win %47
In total - 496 games win %41

Ccfcisparks · Aug 27, 2012

I think we should find every manager in L1 and L2 with a win percentage above 45%

We have good hope for the 1st part of this fix and bob hope for the second
