He does have an appealing record with 116 games as a manger, a win ratio of 52% and only 47. However it would be a risky appointment considering the jump between scottish and english football. Look at how Robbie Neilson did at MK this season

Or Lee Evans

Or Lee van Cleef.

Or Lee-ning on the Lampost at the Corner of our f**king Street.

Or Vince Clark.

Or Petula Clark.

Or Dave Clark.

Or the scrunched up paper out of a box of Clark shoes.

Or even...Steve Evans.

Alan, really don't get your issue with the board. They contribute millions to the club every year, they have a meeting with the fans every year where fans can express their views which is something a long of clubs won't get. The club is in a far better position financially than probably any other time in its history. But yet every post I see you make you moan about them. Genuinely not exactly sure what you expect from them??

Given we are not in a situation to recruit a SOD type dream manager, I would say attributes for me are going to be:

- ability to organise and insert backbone
- motivational figure
- keep youth system moving

I would honestly say good football but we have to be realistic with what we can expect. So long as it is better than Dickov then I will be happy.

What a sad tragic list of hasbeens and flops in the reckoning for the job per the bookies. Let's hope they are wrong cos Clark, Megson, Brown and co just garbage. As a long standing season ticket holder this list is so uninspiring that if the Board go for the cheap option or unimaginative option of recruiting one of these I will question my sanity making the 80 mile round trip 23 home games next season. Lee Clark should never get another league manager job ever!

Disagree, we are in a strong position to appoint someone decent like him. Saunders left us for greener grass, Dickov was sacked but given plenty of time, as well as a chance at a level he hadn't been at before. Ferguson was backed financially and given more than enough time despite a relegation.

If I was a manager looking for a job I'd be straight in for this one. You don't get sacked easily, the setup is decent and the club finances are not in a mess. 

Title: Re: Latest odds
Post by: Chris Black come back on June 05, 2018, 09:14:19 am
The fundamentals here are important. Anyone would see this as a decent springboard. Stadium, stable owners, decent budget, faith (to fault) in managers, sensible CEO, improving youth set up, good crowds and interesting Club Doncaster set-up that shows a forward-thinking club plus we are in footballing part of the world (ie not Exeter or Carlisle) where lots of managers and players live within hour drive to work. All these are reasons to be cheerful that we can attract the right calibre of candidate.

Stuart McCall is someone else I do like. Knows the region, has contacts around the UK and has done a decent job at Bradford as well as Motherwell. He was in the running for the Scotland job after Strachan left I believe.

We don’t seem to have any coloured players on our books , is that not unusual. Hi McCall would find that a bit odd after coming from Bradford.

I don't ever remember us having a blue or green coloured player? What colour we talking about?

Looking beyond the coloured/black mistake in language, I have found it a bit puzzling in recent years that we do have a notable lack of ethnic diversity compared to other teams.

Well people born in Liverpool and Birmingham aren't of another race so that was a f**king stupid thing to say. Taff is the Welsh equivalent of Jock is it not so it's not exactly any better is it?

Ooh I bet you miss the days where we could tell jokes about them Irish.
Title: Re: Latest odds
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on June 08, 2018, 12:49:22 pm
BPool.

There's a dead simple rule of thumb.

If the name is meant as a slur or an insult then it's offensive. If it's not then it isn't. And if the name has has acquired offensive connotations because of the way that other people use it, then you using it is, by association, offensive. Equally, if a group of people dislike being called a particular name then by definition, using that name is offensive.

So:
Paki is offensive.
Auusie isn't offensive.

Scouser isn't offensive.
Paddy is offensive. As is Taff. Because they're intended to imply that those people are somehow inferior to English AND because it's clear if you speak to most Welsh and Irish people that they find those names offensive.

It's really not hard if you just stop and think about it for a minute. But there's bits round the edges - Jock, I think, is considered less offensive by Scots and doesn't carry the same offensive connotations as Paddy or Paki.

According to today's Telegraph & Argus although Hopkin has an interview with City  he's expected to turn it down due to running the club the German way.
The manager coaches and the board target and acquire players and the manager having no input with the budget expenditure.

It’s not random it’s for them to lose about £500. If he was 50/1 they’d let you have a tenner on.

They certainly were. But he didn’t exactly turn it around despite being backed to bring in players.

I’m not convinced by him. Granted we could do worse (he’d be preferable to Lee Clark for example) but from 150 applicants I’d hope he’s not the best option we have. His managerial career has been going the wrong way after a good start - some would argue helped by a squad put together by Nigel Clough.

As far as Hopkin is concerned i think he's due some credit over achieving in Scotland is still overachieving. However i do think it'd be a culture shock going from managing players of the lower scottish league standard to managing players like Copps and Rowe

I'd take either Warburton or Hopkin - not that bothered with the others. However, that is based on nothing other than gut instinct and the type of manager I believe both of them are and how well they 'fit' what our Board are potentially looking for.
Title: Re: Latest odds
Post by: Dare to dream! on June 14, 2018, 08:41:53 pm
Ferguson leaving has actually come at a good time for us with the amount of good quality managers out of a job e.g McCall, Grayson, Warbuton, Heckingbottom along with some wildcards such as Hopkin and McCann.

We've got a good chance of ending up with a manager who wouldn't normally be in our reach. I just hope the board appreciate this and try and get one of those managers whilst we can rather than ending up with a manager who is pretty average in JFH.

(Not saying they won't try or knocking the board btw but just hope this is the case)

Mm. It's easy to forget where he's been. Certainly two terrific spells and he has the added bonus of Glynn as his right hand man, who's reputation as a coach is right up there. It maybe the perfect double act we're looking for. My only reservation is whether he still has the hunger.

I think Warburton would be a great appointment. Did a great job at Brentford and wasn’t given much of a chance at forest. His teams play good football too. Like a few people have previously said though I would have thought he would be looking at a job in the championship when one comes up.
Title: Re: Latest odds
Post by: DonnyOsmond on June 14, 2018, 10:24:59 pm
Don't think Warburton would be interested because he'll be hanging on for another job at a Championship club after doing well at Brentford and being one of many to have experienced Forest's revolving door policy.

Problem for him is if he goes to a League One clubs and fails, he might think it's unlikely he'll ever get another job at Championship level unless he earns promotion into the division.

For that reason I'd rule him out.

But as you mention about revolving doors, he may look at us as a well run club where he will be given time to work on his project.

Post by: Colemans Left Hook on June 15, 2018, 01:58:36 am
well as you all now know it's now looking like JF Kennedy-Hasselblank ...

lest we forget Rovers scored 5 blanks at the end of the season

with hindsight and once we ALL took our blinkers off 5 blanks in a row is the recipe for a sacking at any other club not saying at all it would ever happen at DRFC- but the family events on that last match of the season might ? have influenced F ?  "Q am I going anywhere here ?" who knows

but either way the dust had to be allowed to settle before any possible announcement could be made.

obviously F doesn't read the posts on here from our Bradford correspondant idler - who warned us pre-season Bradford were not the force of old.  If Barnsley was further away from Doncaster and the rivalry etc was not so intense then F to them would have been a mutual good fit - but applying for a job there would be rubbing salt into ......
 is Bradford any closer to his fathers home ? dunno

had to check JFK's management record forgot he won the 4th division seem to remember a lot of loanees in the team that was doing amazingly well (and we all said it couldnt last in the Shrewsbury style - and we were proved wrong again) til he left in December and Cluff did the rest so with hindsight he did well in his first stint

but at the Cobblers despite being given the job very early in the season he could not turn around a club that had on paper signed many a good player* (flashed the cash) and looked destined for the top 8 with ease pre-season (despite the problems over the building of the stand)

but Burton under him and attractive football ..... ??? not really

but a couple of young Chelsea loanees (one a striker) would make so much difference we all know what Bamford did at MK
and there's a lot of potential loanees from Tiddlebro he's probably told the board all these facts



* including one i suggested might turn up here not long ago

Well, by rights, all of them should have done their homework and they should be licking their lips looking at the basis of the squad and the young talent at their disposal. They will know they won't need to add too much to get the team very competitive. The more I think about it, any one of four have a great chance of succeeding. Plus, I think anyone of those four would be widely accepted by the fans.

  Whoever it is that is appointed, the club are now not the sieve of information it once was, which is a good thing if only to keep us the supporters guessing and interested in the outcome.
  The only certain thing that  will come out of this is that whoever gets the job will be under the microscope from the first minute. The supporters who will be disappointed because their man did not get the job, will be waiting for him to slip up, those who are pleased will  be hoping he wins his first few games, and breeds confidence.
   Most of us will not be that bothered who gets the job, and will hope the board have chosen wisely, and the club will progress under the new manager.
   The mystery to me is, has any internal applications been made, and are they in the mix being interviewed such as Strachan.
  Its exciting and with the number of posts on this thread is a great talking point.

I sincerely hope that is the case, Filo, as, up to now, McCall looks like he's the only one with any record behind him.

I hope this isn't going to turn into a damp squib!

The one thing that is apparent is that every name mentioned (except Caldwell) is met with some fans supporting him followed by some fans saying no...So not everybody is going to be happy regardless..

 Whoever the club announce whether it's your choice or not,we are going to have to accept that..So it would be nice to see everybody getting behind him regardless of your personal opinion when they do announce because there wont be much anybody can do about it anyway....

I tend to agree WC, but I'm not adverse to hearing people's opinions on anything when there is some reasoning expressed alongside it. Maybe I expect too much!

Best not to leave them in charge of the younger players...
