Need a new manager

[Getridorit]

Sorry, but butlers had his chance.

He was the simple and easy choice.

I could have understood it more if we were doing well when Moore left, and wanted continuity. Like when flynn took over from Saunders.

However, we were poor under Moore for weeks before he left, so nothing tells me appointing butler and having continuity there would change anything.
It was clear things needed shaking up, and clearly butler wasn't going to do that.

Stendel or nigel clough for me please.

The latter has worked wonders at Mansfield, they've gone from relegation certainties to solid mid table since he's been appointed.
He'll get them promoted next season.

Couldn't you use one of the other two threads?

[vaya]

Less attention that way

[Getridorit]

I wanted to highlight a particular point that I think we need a new manager

If you stop me talking shit I'd have far, far too much time on my hands.

[redbrez]

Stendel or wellens please, or Lowe but he will cost

They get less attention that way

I can hear you, Clem Fandango

Nigel Clough for me, good shout

[Chris Black come back]

Nigel Clough! I'd sooner dig up Brian Clough.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Stendel or Wellens IMO probably rather stendel. Prefer to get them in sooner to see who they want rid of and who keep in the squad. Letting Butler make those contract decisions now is ridiculous given how we’re playing.

[River Don]

Of the names being mentioned on this thread, I think I'd plump for Stendel, if they could get him.

Always thought he came across well in his Radio Sheffield interviews, despite his broken English. By all accounts the football was good and the Barnsley support were dismayed to lose him.

[keith79]

Pep for me

[mushRTID]

Nigel Clough! I'd sooner dig up Brian Clough.

Haha banter course you would.

Always seemed to did well at Burton, we always found them tough games.

Would stay fairly under the radar too and we might actually keep a manager for 2-3 years

[StocksArmy]

Other than Wellens being a fantastic servant for us Im not sure why we would want him. If Stendel would take the job then I wouldnt hesitate in appointing him right now.

[Draytonian III]

“Fanatic servant” is stretching it a bit far, he was a very good player, but a bit selfish to say the least

The latter has worked wonders at Mansfield, they've gone from relegation certainties to solid mid table since he's been appointed.
He'll get them promoted next season.

Isn't there a reason clough has tumbled down the leagues with regards his managerial way? There is a reason those on the merry go round don't get picked for the higher league jobs in the end which is that their ways become dated

[redbrez]

Wouldn't expect a new manager to come in and get us up too speed and promoted ect,  but would it give someone like Stendel time to build for next season and give him chance to plan ahead and help to get players over the line , because there will be some rebuilding to do , plus if we wait potentially someone else could come in and get him.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Not sure how it'll pan out. If we mathematically can't get playoffs will a search for manager start only then? Agree would be a great chance to get a manager in to have a look at the players he wants to keep or get rid. Especially important with how many out of contract players in the summer.

If Butler stays on he might be glad there all out of contract because they really aren't doing him any favors

Perhaps, I'm not sure.
I was just thinking outside the box with regards to realistic potential candidates.

[Chris Black come back]

I don’t think we need to smash everything up and start again. We probably just need to nudge the rudder a bit. Trying to keep a manager at the club for more than one season. Maybe relying on a loan or two less in the starting XI. Getting best players on to three year rather than two year deals. Expecting our defenders to turn in a clean sheet now and again, rather than fannying around with the ball at the edge of the box. None of this requires a massive cultural shift but would make us a more stable and credible side.

[idler]

I would imagine that we have already had some interested parties enquire or register an interest in the position at the Rovers.
We have plenty of positives as a club and a record of giving managers time rather than sacking them after a few bad results.
We also have a board that don't try and interfere in team selection and/or tactics unlike some.

[northern soul]

Realistically who do we think would apply. I would have thought it would be very similar to the last couple of appointments plus a few selected others.

Wilder I would suggest no, same as Howe.

McInnes
Wellens
Chris Powell
Nicky Mellon
Stendel
Nicky butt
Callum Davidson
Sol Campbell.

Aside from Moore when he became available, I don't think we have ever gone for either the expected or highest profile choice. Everyone was getting excited about Keegan. Lots of toys thrown out of pram when it turned out to be SOD but he ended up being arguably our best ever manager (or best two). Saunders came from nowhere. Dickov got job through JR. God knows about Ferguson. McCann was way down any list people had. Aside from Dickov and Ferguson, they have all done a good job so am not too worried about who the process will spit out in the end.

I'm not pro Butler leaving at the moment but Jody Morris might be a decent shout. Left Chelsea recently and has a good reputation.
