Raphael Wicky

[boingy]

Well his CV excites me more than Corberon?s - handful of games in the third division - coach at some random clubs in Cyprus - assistant at Leeds - Huddersfield Manager - sacked at a random Greek club. That?s hardly breathtaking FFS.

Think he looks impressive!

You really see what you want to see Al. This guys cv doesn?t even amount to anything.

He's Swiss so neutral football, I guess....

😂

The point in question was there was not much to be impressed on Carlos?s CV. Name a football team managed by Carlos that is superior to anything from this chap. Did Carlos play international football or manage a team internationally? Many would say Huddersfield or ourselves would not beat any of the good MLS teams - and there are some decent teams which was why Messi went there.

Name anything more impressive rather than have a dig!

I remember the chicken farmer from Carlisle , Alan Ashman getting the job in 1967 .
Our last manager to win a major trophy .

I like the idea of appointing a young up and coming manager. it?s a risk, but appointing any coach is a risk, Wicky won the league and cup double with Young boys and has a 50% win ratio across all tenures. He likes to play attacking football with emphasis on wingers. Having no experience of English Football doesn?t bother me at all, in fact it could be beneficial, fresh ideas etc
Any football played on the front foot giving the players the chance to express themselves must be better that the Southgate handbrake football served up by the Messiah😂Corberan, a messiah that?s won f? all
I for one would welcome him, get rid of the dead wood and start again with younger players like Whitwell, Fellows, Heggem, Taylor and co

Do agree completely Bomber but very rude of you to say Carlos won f all as listed on his Honors was the:

Leeds United U23
Professional Development Northern League: 2018?19 season.

😂😂😂😂

Ooops, I await a reprimand from a certain poster🤭

His CV is pretty good as he?s actually won a few things.

Getting sacked without understanding the circumstances is not a judge of a bad manager. Bilic has had more dismissals than anyone and I think most fans would have him. Steve Cooper has been sacked everywhere he?s been but he?s still considered an outstanding candidate.

Context is everything.

Wrong country, I’m afraid! The Sound of Music was set in Salzburg, Austria; Wicky is, I believe, Swiss!

What about a cuckoo clock presented to Cole and rather than saying cuckoo cuckoo - it could be adjusted to say feck off - feck off!

Apologies in advance for not having read the whole thread. I have no preference between up and coming young hipster managers/coaches or those who are more experienced.

All I ask is that they know their @rse from their elbow and get the best from the resources at their disposal. I fully appreciate supporters looking at CVs and wondering what they offer.

At the same time I can think of a number of former Albion managers off the top of my head who brought us promotion without glittering managerial credentials.

One was an exceptional footballer. One was a very good footballer who scored in an FA Cup final. One was a decent enough midfielder known more for hard running and getting stuck in than for finesse and the other was a back to basics centre half.

None of them had outstanding coaching CVs prior to joining us but they all had three things in common. Potential. Someone took a chance on them. And they all have a promotion for West Bromwich Albion on their CV. One of them has two promotions for us.

Not in chronological order I know but Johnny Giles, RDM, Sir Gary Megson and Tony Mowbray please step forward. It's not where you start it's where you finish........ COYB 😎.
