I find it difficult that you find Big Dave is the issue and not the players and yet at our club its the players and the management that are the issue.
A serious couple of questions to you. Who do you want as our next manager given our current financial situation?
And, if we did go for a manager who has previously been with is, who would you go for?………..I take it as read that Big Dave won’t be on your radar.
Loved Big Dave and sincerely hope he gets Port Vale promoted but he was a poor appointment for us with a great team. Don?t want the same mistake with Brunty who is a top guy.
Who would I want - well I would go with the Liverpool coach as he has player experience and being part of a top management team. On a purely selfish note - he could bring some great young talent on loan. Koumas for example would easily get in our team.
Cooper could be good but no way will he come to us when he?s still being paid a very handsome salary by Leicester.
Past managers OB - honestly love Mowbray as he did a fantastic job at Sunderland and manages on the front foot and gives youth a go. I don?t know the latest about his health though so this would be a question mark.
I did like Bilac too and thought he was unfairly sacked. He had balls but to be honest not up on the latest surrounding him now!
If I was in Patel?s position - I would pay the money for the right manager appointment and question where the 3 million is going if he does not. Asda are having a tough time because the brothers did not appoint a CEO as were too tight. The moral of the story is the 10 million package they are now offering is peanuts to the lost % footfall and strategic direction!
We do need someone in quickly due to this January window in my opinion.
