Really? Butcher, Black, Neal, Strachan, McAllister, Nilsson, Thorn...
and didn't do too well for us.
Phil Neal was pretty experienced with Bolton and didn't do too well for us.
Of that list Eric Black, Roland Nilsson and to an extent Strachan did okay.
Our past managers with experience have failed.
Ron Atkinson
Peter Reid
Micky Adams
Iain Dowie
Chris Coleman
Aidy Boothroyd
Mark Robins (can argue he did okay)
Steven Pressley
Tony Mowbray
Agree but with the exception of Micky Adams and Ian Dowie. Adams gave us our best ever finish in 30+ years.. 8th,and Dowie started the nucleus of a good team by getting Scott Dann and Danny Fox to CCFC.
Finished 11th with limited resources, got us Dublin.
Moved on because we wanted a big name of Ron Atkinson... after we'd won a game, too.
They were both hardly successes though were they, there was some awful football played under those managers. What happened to their careers after us sums up their abilities.
I'm sure I remember reading that Ray Ranson was behind the Dann and Fox signings, I may be wrong.
It was Dowie's brother that scouted Dann and Fox, and Dowie was at Walsall till midnight to see the transfer through. That in my mind is dedication.

So even though he managed to sign those two very good players and had some money to play with, he was a success for us?

Dowie was sacked to bring in the numpty Coleman. You could see he was building for the future, and considering were were never near relegation with him is a success compared to the dross brought in after him.
Managers at every level make good and bad signings every year. Some players just don't fit, lose form, confidence or injury effects the player. So although buying or signings players is a part of the job title, getting results and building foundations at the club are more important.
Dowie like every other manager at our club would struggle to compete over a decent amount of time. The best players are sold, budget is trimmed and no structure or standard'shipping are being set. Dowie has been very unlucky not to get another crack at management in my opinion at the right club is a very maticulas in his detail and knowledge of game and players.
We've made this mistake so many times in the past. Experience for me is vital at this point in time.
Dowie was here at a time when our wage bill was through the roof. Several players were on 10k a week plus and Doyle was the highest paid.
Rather than building for the future he was burning at an alarming rate. I believe he won 3 of his last 15 league games and had 36 players on the books when he was sacked
He had some good players but he also bought some shit. Weren't players like Borrowdale, Ellery Cairo, De Zeeuw (or whatever his name was) signed by Dowie?
sounds like the ideal candidate then !!!!Isn't dowie a salesman now?

For 3 games under Dowie I thought the club might be going somewhere in the right direction. I was wrong.
Who can forget his managerial epitaph ''Bounebackabilty''.
We do pick them.
Agree but what experienced manager will come here

You're going back a bitIt may as well have been Andy Pandy with Looby Loo as assistant.
Out of interest, which managers do you consider to have a good transfer record?
Yep, with where we are at the moment I don't think we're in a position to see if Mr X can step up and give it a go. We need experience. However, saying that I will support whoever Venus decides who it is.
Mmm...I don't think Strachan "did OK". He was shit and relegated us despite having the biggest budget in our history.
The problem is that the club's financial situation has worsened since TM came and recent publicity following the petition will have made that all to obvious to anyone who might have come despite our previous situationMowbray did. Despite our current position we are a club with a great history and are still a "name".
