Manager next season

[Old_time_miller]

With everything clarke has spoken about so publicly, most people agreeing with, I am surprised the club could not see or work it out themselves and deep dive, a chairman nicked quote from clarke or the other way around.

Any situation regarding players long term is seldom kept hidden away, unless the board are blind and deaf. Or indifferent.
Particularly with this lot.

I don’t think the board know what they are doing anymore. Have lost their way, mojo, call it what you like. Probably never did, just got lucky with evans once, and then with warne with choices.
Richardson was not really given chance, he picked up a poor situation and wasn’t great with PR but probably spoke the truth and they didn’t like it.

I wonder what they think to the outspoken clarke? My guess is he will gone based on the richardson rule. Even taylor spoke out in the end as a final nail.
At this club, the manager takes the blame. The board never do. Ultimately they are responsible for everything. But all they do is sack the manager.

So here we are again.

Player Managers are an outdated thing of the past. I think the last one in the EFL was Edgar Davids at Barnet (and he got relegated).
It's almost impossible for a player to get the required coaching badges to be a manager in the EFL these days while they're still playing. It's not just a case of picking a player and saying 'do you fancy a managers job?'.

Seen in the past a ex premier player specially midfielder run games, a old head sometimes.pays off.in running a game.
Has said Edgar David's came to Rotherham with Barnet, showed his class.

I'd agree with having an old head (or two) in the team if you can get one, but as a player only, not a player manager. Top players don't really drop down the leagues though like they did in the past anyway, they don't need the money.

It was mid May last year when season ticket prices/dates got announced (we were one of the last clubs to get there)... Maybe the club are hoping LC can bag another win so they can confirm him and quickly get people to renew, as it seems supporters are reasonably happy with the idea of him staying on.

I said that other day mate, a player manager.

Sorry Elk, I'll have to keep up more 😫 UTM

I just hope we get a manager with a name that people can spell.
The current one is CLARK.

I could not care less what his name is. He hasn’t got any clue how to get any more out of this lot. Martha strolled about and hardly touched the ball. He more than others wants a boot up him.

All he is doing is playing as many as possible, in a disjointed way. Plunging lee in and not helping his confidence. We had more spark from holmes and yearwood when they came on.

Luton ran rings round us.

I cannot see any point to him. Another manager these will not play for.

Does it not say more about the players? How many managers do they have to not play for before we realise that they are sh1t?

Here we go again, embarrassing. If this was Hamshaw's team you'd be praising him for giving youngsters a chance, but because it's CLARK (there's no "e" in that by the way) he's ruining Cohen Lee's confidence.

Tell me how you think giving Cohen Lee his league debut against Wigan and then his home debut tonight against Luton is going to ruin his confidence? The lad will have been buzzing to see his name in the starting 11 tonight. He's 19 years of age and unless he was going to randomly turn into Lionel Messi on the pitch tonight, he would have known fine well that he wouldn't play the full 90 minutes - just like he hasn't in his other two games - especially with Dru Yearwood on the bench. So what am I missing?

And explain what you mean by disjointed? How was tonight disjointed? Give us some clarity around that otherwise I'll just assume that you're using words which you think sound good but don't really have any basis for. Granted we were not very good, but for me, we stuck to the same shape, we swapped like for like players and didn't play anyone out of position, aside from Baptiste perhaps. So aside from quality, which we've lacked all season, what was the issue tonight?
