Lee Carsley Rumour (1 Viewer)

The watchmaker · Nov 14, 2024

I know everybody hates polls so feel free to ignore that bit.

Felt he deserved his own thread rather than being discussed elsewhere. I feel most people aren't that excited but he has some pluses. e.g. Links with the club/city, high profile, links with the FA, should have excellent knowledge of up and coming talent both here and abroad.

I'll let everyone else do the negatives when we are getting battered by Greece.

Where's the " you can shove your polls up your arse " option ?

Alkhen · Nov 14, 2024

Less baggage than Frank, local and has links. I could get behind that.

Will judge him after these two England games though, made some big calls so shows he's not hiding.

Tommo1993 · Nov 14, 2024

Hard no

shmmeee · Nov 14, 2024

No to Frank Meh to Lee. Still waiting for that special someone to sweep us off our feet. Or Tony Mowbray.

Evo1883 · Nov 14, 2024

No thanks

Lamps · Nov 14, 2024

The best out of a bad bunch named so far.

If he got us winning I'd be happy. If he didn't get us winning I wouldn't be happy.

covcity4life · Nov 14, 2024

Highly rated within the game as a coach isn't he?

No issue with him getting the job

Tommo1993 · Nov 14, 2024

Can’t put into words how deflated I’d be if Carsley got it. It’d be massively disappointing

Shows how far we've come that someone deemed good enough to lead England (albeit temporarily) isn't deemed good enough to lead Coventry City.

Wouldn’t have Southgate either and he was there for longer than MR was here.

mark82 · Nov 14, 2024

Ruud van Nistelrooy third in the betting. Seems a bit far fetched, but if he was in the running I wouldn't say no.

Wanted to match up with the Lamps one but if you want I can start another poll with that in.

Had the 21s playing some brilliant football

He's also just dropped our record scorer for a must win game so there is question marks

It's a glorified friendly.

It's really not , ask Portugal and Spain if thats how they felt as they both won it either before or after a major honour , we need to get promoted back to playing against the best sides

We are about 5 minutes in , harry kane is better than Watkins full stop

You don't drop your best players in big games

skybluecam · Nov 14, 2024

Carsley doesn’t excite me at all.

Managing an England youth team is decent prep for the senior but I think it’s worlds away from a club side.

Isn’t he carrying a knock?

Not saying he isn't but he has been dropping far too deep for England in recent games. We needed someone in the box, Watkins gives you that

He wants his teams to press and Kane can't/won't press, so you can see why he made that decision.

The fact Watkins just scored probably vindicates it.

Might suit us though.

Definitely a head coach over a manager, key at developing young players and bringing them onto a higher level.

Will have connections in the game like Lampard or RVD would have to bring in quality coaches and players (loans).

Local to the area and has motivation to stay at the project (Turner was saying how last time he was here he felt he had unfurnished business as he was in the relegation squad from the prem).

Finally plays good attacking football which will be interesting to watch.

We could do a lot a lot worse imo. Think he suits the project the most out of the top three.

Just a bit boring isn't it.

Irony is, I'm saying that as he's literally managing England at this current moment.

Watkins will score some goals sure , not sure dropping kane for Watkins will ever be vindicated tbh

Evo1883 · Nov 14, 2024

Watkins also has 11 less goals than kane this season , harry kane that doesn't play in the box

Mental we can say the current England boss isn’t good enough for us .

What a job Mark and Adi did for us to be in this position

To be fair, it’s working atm. Don’t think he would of been dropped without a knock but as long as it works

Also I think it shows he's brave enough to make big decisions (even if you don't agree with it) if he thinks it will benefit the team, that's a good thing imo

I'm sure those brave decisions were appreciated when we lost 3-0 at home to Greece

skybluecam · Nov 14, 2024

Would he even be in consideration without this caretaker spell with England?
