They need to interview applicants and then there’ll be a process of negotiation when the manager says he wants X, Y and Z, and we can only offer X, and a bit of Y.
It all takes time – which to me confirms a replacement was not already in the pipeline, and also confirms the sacking of Caldwell has Whelan written all over it.
Maybe we will get first picks once the vacancy at Wolves is filled.
Sherwood, Pearson and Lambert on 3 man shortlist for Molineux job.[/quote]
Yep three managers with experience, we go for under 21 team coaches or someone with very little experience ffs![/quote]
Have you thought maybe none of those three wanted the job at Wigan?What manager of that stature would want to come to a club that pays relatively low wages and has a tiny budget for transfer?
Joyce already has four years experience as a manager at Royal Antwerp and Hull, and has worked wonders with the Man U Reserve team.
There’s a fuss being kicked up by a lot of Man U fans about the club allowing him to leave as he’s highly rated, and some think he should have been given a shot at being first team manager.
Like Lowey says, the more I read about Joyce, the more I think he’s a good option.
Looking on Rangers forums they cant wait to get shut of him.These’ll be the same fans who chased McCoist and McCulloch out of the club too.
Short memories some of them.
Warburton was the greatest thing since Buckfast last season, but now because they’re 9 points off Celtic, they want him out.
Watching the goals on Youtube Sunday and it panned to GC and I’ve got to say his demeanour on the touchline reminded me of Roy Hodgson against Iceland.
Not good to see for him nor the fans as he looked worried & like he didn’t know what to do!I’ve no idea who is best to replace GC. Some of the names mentioned sound good / high profile, but do they or will they have the knowledge of the Championship to do anything?
Let’s hope Sharpy makes the right decision.
Let’s face it; on Saturday there were 9,000 managers walking off the DW at the final whistle, and all of them were saying things like:
Why couldn’t he see which substitutions would have been the right ones to make.
Why did he not start with Jordi.
He’s watching a different game than us.
How hard can it be to instruct a football team.So come on; it can’t be that hard to get us playing the correct style of football; especially with the decent selection of players that we have ![/quote]
So what is the ‘correct’ style of football?I personally think Ryan Giggs could be a good shout.
I know he hasn’t much managerial experience, but surely his time at Manchester United as a player working under arguably the best manager ever would hold him in good stead.
A risk maybe, but a risk worth taking.
By your same reckoning, Henning Berg, Paul Ince, Roy Keane and Gary Neville should also be good managers.
Less experience than Caldwell and too much of a risk for my liking.
Karl Robinson is the best option for me. Took MK Dons from the bottom League 2 to Championship, and only got relegated after his squad was depleted.[/quote]
Robinson has the experience and may have done better in the Championship if his squad hadn’t been depleted but hindsight is powerful, what could Roberto have achieved at Wigan if he had had the resources of Steve Bruce?
Nigel Pearson has the experience and also built a chunk of the squad at Leicester that won the PL, so he too might be a good choice.Robinson, Pearson & Giggs will all be in the frame, but if it boils down to finance rather than ambition, it could be Barrow, Parkinson or Atherton.
Hopefully the decision will be made soon.[/quote]
And that is the million dollar question!
I doubt it will be Barrow, Parkinson or Atherton. I’m sure Sharpe isn’t so short sighted.
Really don’t like the look of Pearson though. Seems a bit unhinged.

GC probably thought he could rest those 3 players as he may have thought the ones he put out could have done a job against burton. I expect those said 3 players to be back tonight.Grigg was carrying an injury on Saturday.
Didn’t like Caldwell last season but due to lge 1 being so poor ie Bolton this season if you don’t agree, Caldwell got away with it. This season is proving how poor he really is.Yes, but to be fair you also maintained that Perkins was crap for most of last season.
I agree with clough but we are set up wrong and the players are scared to death of doing something differentHow should we be set up?
A lot of the short passes are sideways & backwards. Think what most fans would like to see is a quicker tempo, and a purpose to the passing, not passing for the sake of it.
Whether you are a current posters on Cockney Latic or a fan at the ground both seem to be saying the same.Yes, I’d like them to be more dynamic but I’m genuinely intrigued to know what people think the alternative is to passing it sideways and backward when there’s no other pass on, other than to hit it forwards and hope for the best.
The West Stand has its regular caterwaulers of ‘Gerrit forwards’ but it’s the same people who then start screaming at Caldwell when the ball goes to the opposition and comes back at us.
Hope Jake Buxton can continue how he finished the Wolves game with that wonderful pass.
Precision passing like that can unsettle any midfield and defence and if he can continue like that with Will on his lonesome and an attacking midfielder along side or just behind him we could stroll games.Unfortunately few players are able to execute accurate long passes like that regularly, and I suspect that if Buxton attempted that pass every time he got the ball, a vast majority of the time he’d give it straight to the opposition for them to come at us.
And if he could get it right a majority of the time, he wouldn’t be playing for Wigan Athletic.
That’s why we keep the passes short and try to retain possession – much to the distaste of many of the current posters on Cockney Latic.
Horc, that was some of the worst football I have ever seen the other night pundits and ex pros have been saying that when Rooney plays it slows the play down. How the fcuk could they have played any slower while he was on the bench?. I understand in the league that has so many foreign managers and players that these negative formations suit the clubs but in international games every player is English the manager is English and the best we can be is English. Passing seven bells of shite out of the ball is not our way it is horrible to watch. Get back to doing it the way all our players were coached as youngsters. We are England so lets be fookin English not Italian, Spanish etc.Because it’s not as if the Italians or Spanish have done better than England at international level is it?!
Seriously though, a majority of that England squad play for top-eight clubs and are used to playing continental style football under foreign managers.
But then, the FA in their wisdom appoint managers who either aren’t used to that style of football, or who have never coached players of that calibre.
I reckon Big Sam would have got them hard to beat, but f’ck me, it would have been horrible to watch.
For me, the next England manager has to be Wenger.
Oi smart arse,what about the extra beer,programme,food,bovril sales ???22,000 in the stadium or 35,000 ??…….Mmmm let me think.
You’d be £70,000 short, so you’d need to make £5 profit on every single one of the extra 13,000 fans.
That’s a lot of programme / Leeds United fridge magnet / car mini-kit sales.
