Didnt you know mate, anyone who once drove within 20miles of CV6 automatically gets linked with the job!
I forgot to include him on the list earlier

After some extensive research (20 mins) across some some of the finest data miners known to date (Wikipedia, football manager) I’ve come up with the following:

I would like:
Eirik Horneland
Kim Hellberg
Denis Lawrence
Graham Potter (dreaming)

I would accept:
Robbie Keane
Brian Barry-Murphy
Ryan Lowe

I do not want:
Matt Bloomfield
Frank Lampard
Steve Holland

Would be an excellent choice, but no way is he leaving Sheff Wednesday for us. Des Buckingham would probably leave Oxford for us though.

No! Not after she was rude to the arsenal manager and tried to encourage a pile on for aggressive male behaviour

No idea what Keane is like as a manager but I feel like as a popular ex player (certainly one of my personal faves) he'd have more support than most with the fans, who could turn quite quickly.

The only way you can try to follow Robins is by appointing an experienced manager.

Someone who has a lot of experience in the Premier League.

Or someone who has got promoted from the Championship.

Some prospect would be a disaster. If we get this appointment wrong then we will be back in League One.

King needs to show ambition

Even in our own history. Hill is the most comparable manager to Robins.

After he left we carried on progressing with Noel Cantwell
Click to expand...
I have to disagree, although we continued to rise up the league after a relegation battle for the first two years of his tenure.
What was lost was the dynamic of the club that was the talk of football outside of the top three or four clubs.
Jimmy Hill was the most innovative, progressive Manager who then went on to change football through his brilliant suggestions like 3 points for a win. Jimmy Hill had gone by the time we reached the top division so he can't be judged on those early results.
Why do you think the fans used to sing Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel that is the name of that bastard Cantwell. When he took over, we were the best supported team in the Midlands with 36k average home attendance and thousands following away. I was locked out at Forest with thousands of other City fans. Cantwell changed our free flowing attacking football for a defensive dirge. Momentum was lost, old lags were brought in for their experience and fans started to drift away. Under Jimmy Hill, we felt invincible and that was lost with Cantwell.
Sure Cantwell got better but the whole momentum of the most exciting emerging club in England was lost. Our je ne sais quoi was gone. We made Europe and were unlucky to get Glazier injured in the warm-up at Bayern, but we were never a sexy club again.

I couldn't care less who we get now. If Robins can't get a tune out of these cunts then none of those managers will.

Robins is levels and levels above all managers we are linked with.

This might come down to us fans having to fucking stand up to this clown King.
He's changed everything for the worse. The coaching staff we have now are useless, the recruitment team have delivered us nothing but shite.

Robins has been dealt with absolute shit for so many years and delivered diamond after diamond. The old set up fucking worked.

I'm fuming, 2 centre backs and a centre midfielder needed to be signed this summer 10 million 15 million w/e the amount.

The culture of our club has been ripped apart, Fadz, Hamerz Rose, Godden, Kelly, Hyam, O Hare. These were huge personalities, we have centre backs that can't talk, we have centre backs that have no idea whenever pressure is applied, characterless and zero leadership.

This can't be Robins, this is recruitment and the Doug King ideoligy

Bring back Robins. And fuck these mercenaries.

The cost implications of hiring someone like that would be insane and there’s nothing to say they would recreate their success here.

Would be happy with Wagner or Schumacher off that list, but I don’t think the latter would come here. I think Wagner is currently out of work though?

Noel Cantwell turned us into a negative team. Some of the football was turgid. A total contrast to JH.
We went from being a progressive club and team into a dour one and lost thousands of supporters

I’ve actually mentioned him before. He’s somewhat rated as a coach, and won the league and cup double in Israel, in what is generally a high pressure environment.

obviously it’s not the championship but he has a winner mentality
