New manager

[bluethroughandthrough]

So kewell gone from Barnet... searle gone from aldershot. Next up...?

Some think too early, some can't come soon enough. Maybe the chairman needs to go first.

However If Brown was to leave or be removed who would be a good replacement?

Back to Tilly?

Old players in non league management ? Mark Bentley? Stimson?

Old players currently coaching? Barret? Maher I saw mentioned

Others ? I'm not sure back to MM is a good idea

What makes sense

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Darren Currie, if Barnet don’t get there first that is

 

[MC BLUES]

John Still. An old head on old shoulders, but he knows the game at this level and would be a great choice.

This.

Was my choice ahead of MM. Knows the league, did a good job with a club in a similar situation to ourselves off the pitch. You’d like to think we could tempt him away from a U21 job.

One word, Compensation. Compensation to get rid of Brown 4/5 months into a 2 year contract and then compensation to Sheffield United for Currie.

We haven't got a pot to **** in, and even if we did I can't see Ron giving it away again. For what we must have spent more on compensation for managers and backroom staff we could have a decent couple of players I would imagine

He's retired

Still’s not the answer, at least not now. We need a long term answer - and to then stick with them. That new Aldershot manager is what we needed but that ship has sailed.

I’d be open to a caretaker manager whilst we get the appointment right, but Ron’s appointed Bond and Brown based on 6 match trials in which they underwhelmed so I’m not sure I trust him. It should really be Ricky Duncan’s choice rather than Ron anyway, Ron has ****ed up what seems like the last dozen managerial decisions. We need someone who is aligned with the club’s strategy.

Does anyone seriously think Darren Currie will leave the bigger, Championship SUFC for a non league SUFC?

Must be a reason he’s been at our last few games

I bet he's salivating at the prospect

 

[Chapperz]

Maybe one of the players we have lined up is from the Sheffield United U21 team and he is scouting us to see if loaning him to us would benefit them.

Hmmm

Yes. I’d be amazed if a youth team coach turned down the opportunity to manage. Think he’s been working with Coughlan there who’ll have good things to say about us as well.

 

[amsemp]

Currie seems the best choice at the moment. As for compensation, he may have some sort of clause in his contract that allows him to leave for a senior management job should it arise.

 

[Tribal Chief]

That ship ****ing sunk months ago. Give it a rest.

 

[onceknownasrab]

Brown is not my cup of tea. I think he has made errors in selection, tactics and media mouthing but we are so few games into the season and I can't advocate managerial change so early. Any new manager deserves until Christmas. Things can change so quickly and a couple of good results can easily change the fans views.

 

[Thunderbolt & Lightfoot]

Tongue firmly in cheek with that second sentence I think.

From what I hear Ricky Duncan is one of the problems not the solution

Not at all. Coughlan was here 8 years(?) during which time we were promoted and reached Wembley in the cup and maybe only once or twice finished in the bottom half of a table. It was a time of relative stability (only two managers) and whilst not without challenges the embargoes etc tended to be shortlived. I’d much rather Coughlan give a reference than someone who has lived through the club’s last 3-5 years when the wheels came off completely. Coughlan’s report should be that there are challenges but this are surmountable and the club’s potential is vast.
