Poll: Who should be next manager of Coventry City? (1 Viewer)

@richh87 · Aug 27, 2012

Quite a few people on this site wanting Managers who wouldn't come to us in a million years.

Redknapp? Keegan? Souness?

Get real people!

Your the first to suggest him? didn't come to mind when I made the poll I guess.

Technically, Morrell's name was mentioned as a possible next manager option when we played Wrexham (and they beat us)... but there wasn't an actual vacancy at that moment!

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 27, 2012

Dennis Wise for me; for the reasons @rich87 mentions in the other thread.

Billy Davies would be a good choice but like others have said he'd want more funds than SISU will offer.

Glaziers green top · Aug 27, 2012

Dennis Wise or Billy Davies would get me buying a season ticket. As simple as that.

Confession time - who voted Phil Brown?

Within the constraints of a large asterix (which I set out here: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/19841-This-Forum-can-decide-the-next-City-Manager...?p=253180), I was trying to decide who to vote for and find out a bit more about some of the names. I came across the following on Tisdale and the first page made particularly stunning reading given Grendal has voted for him!

No freaking wat! Exeter's Grendal!

TasmanSeaSkyBlue · Aug 28, 2012

Anyone but Garry Megson! Try Tilsdale, a manager who is still youngish and has things to prove and nothing to lose. No retreads.

1nilandwe... · Aug 28, 2012

This list had me in stitches.
Graham Souness?!
Kevin Keegan?!
Glenn Hoddle?!?!?!?!?

Also, could we all let the Eric Black thing go now please? Yes, we like him, but he will never be our football manager. Never going to happen.

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 28, 2012

I'm going with Wise.

Blackwell and Ince now the favourites :facepalm:

Fully agree with above!!!:claping hands:

mark82 · Aug 28, 2012

Maybe we should narrow this poll down now. Take out anyone under 5 votes and maybe add a couple of the favourites who were missed from the original poll?

Dbell10 · Aug 28, 2012

Has anyone else noticed that the betting on Kevin Blackwell has been cancelled on skybetting?

Probably because wise, ince and blackwell are the 3 favourites and if you put them all at 7/2 then you could make profit if you put dough on all 3. Probably just cancelled the one they feel is most likely.

Mucca Mad Boys · Aug 28, 2012

They cancelled betting Cotterill, AB manager next day...

Paxman II · Aug 28, 2012

I want Curbs and he's not on that list!

Sky Blues · Aug 28, 2012

I would vote for Ross County's Derek Adams, so none of the above for me (though there's a couple on the list I wouldn't mind if appointed).*

Marty · Aug 28, 2012

I voted Wise, but Gary Neville is a good shout, hes another who has a winning mentality, Thought he was just a c**t, but when he was on MNF, he came across really well and knows the game inside out.

Agree with Neville, fantastic winning mentality!
While we have sisu, we have no ambition. Why would any decent manager want the job?
Think about it?
Rent reviews! All of the shit!
Why?
We should all go and support Man.U ? Let's have a bit of happiness in our life? Personally I fancy Chelsea , but hey ho! Boycott the team/ Ricoh/CCFC, until we receive something back? They sell no tickets, they have no ambition!!!!!!
Fuck em.
Nuneaton borough till I die doesn't have the same ring!
Please don't let me stray to the V word

Sean Dyche for me - did a great job at Watford last season on limited resources. Very unlucky to be shown the door by the new owners. As a player he always seemed a 100% committed guy and I'm sure would do a good job for Cov.

Only thing with Dyche is whether he could reproduce that performance with a new club. He knew the players and staff very well at Watford as he was promoted from within.

mattylad · Aug 30, 2012

243 Votes cast and still no vote for Ince....City take note!!!

Skyblueweeman · Aug 30, 2012

No one's mentioned Di Canio?

Why not? The regime that treated him like shit is no longer here, and he knows that he is very well respected here. The only problem is that when we have needed a change he has always been employed, on this occasion he took up his new post not long ago, so compo would have to be paid. Pity Thorn wasn't sacked in January when he should have been.....

I'd have him back over any other current candidate. He'd have to deal with huge expectations, but I reckon it'd create a huge buzz at the ground, big upturn in attendances...

He has never been a manager since.

This implies a lack of desire from him for the role.

There is no logic behind the suggestion - just nostalgia - and like all nostalgia the picture though better than of late was not as good as some say anyway.

MayallMan · Aug 31, 2012

i reckon dublin would have the passion

SydneySkyBlue · Sep 10, 2012

Wise still in the lead then.

I wouldn't mind Money either.

But more importantly, does he have the skill to be a manager!? I doubt that, it'd be a stupid appointment as he has had NO past experience!

skyblueman · Sep 13, 2012

I see Phil Brown did well on this with less than 2% of the votes

Otis · Sep 13, 2012

I said that earlier.

People seem to be championing him all of a sudden.

Where were they when this poll appeared two weeks ago?

The weight of opinion on GMK against Phil Brown is deafening. The apathy towards him on here two weeks ago says a lot too.

Can only guess that he was everyone's '2nd choice.'

Grendel · Sep 13, 2012

I made a post early on this thread amazed he was anyone's first choice. Strikes me as a self publicist first and a manager second. A sort of John Bond type always look at me. Still be amazed if it's him in truth.

TasmanSeaSkyBlue · Sep 14, 2012

Jimmy Hill. Done it all before, knows the club and the city, well known to the fans. if he's busy, try the bloke from Oxford.

Miller in peace · Sep 16, 2012

Hello all as name suggests Miller in peace, if you do get Robins you will not go far wrong, if he had stayed with us we would be at least in championship now, he saw us through 2 admins and got us playing decent footy. Here's hoping your season turns round
