Who should replace bond?

[shrimpled]

Parkinson, Rowett or Nathan Jones (once sacked by Stoke).

Happy with Barrett or Tilly to come back as part of a coaching set up under one of those.

Whoever takes it does not have a bad squad to work from - to be fair to Bond he's signed some excellent players - and it's a good job for someone.

Only one answer for me

Give it them for the season but if Bond was sacked I reckon we'd just give it to Waddock.

No way Tilson or Barrett, don’t ruin their legacy.

Parkinson would cost a lot, and tbh I don’t want an ex Colchester manager in charge

Rowett - Too expensive

Cotteril - Crap

Appleton - Recently taken WBA U23s

Powell legacy isn’t ruined. Still my favourite ever player. Get Barrett in, he has fantastic managerial qualities and is a born leader and Southend through and through. He will want to manage us, it is inevitable just a question of when and the timing just feels right for me.

I want a legacy created and a chance for him to do what Tilly and Brush did. He will need an experienced number 2 to lean on.

a) Not sure. Is it mandatory these days ?
b) I know. That's why we need to change. Ideally to somebody who can sort out the defence.
c) We've tried experienced managers and have very little funds. Could JW steady the ship ?
Just a thought !

A) yes. So he couldn’t get the job anyway unless he has his coaching badges which I don’t think he does.
B) And you think someone who is a part of that defence is the one to fix it?
C) Kevin Bond isn’t an experienced manager.

Barrett for me. He’s everything that Bond isn’t. Forget club legend status, this guy has passion and desire and this will feed through to the players. If the team represent the manager on the pitch then this will do for me. I’m sure we could find an experienced man to work alongside him

Mick Mccarthy not known for pretty football but knows the loan system and we need that now

I loved The Transporter.

Paul Clarke assisted by Steve Tillson, cut both of them in half and you'll see S.U.F.C running right through the middle. What have we got to lose?

They won't manage as well if you cut them in half. Managers aren't like worms you know.

Anyone that isn’t Kevin Bond!

It's absolutely understandable, but I think that's a dangerous stance!

The manager needs to command the respect of the players.

Isn't that a bit short sighted? They might be the best man for the job.

Hi team.

With the current predicament, who done think could get the next go in the hot seat?

I'll start with this guy:

What say you shrimperzoners?

Should really make this my profile pic

Hope Powell

are you gonna finish that sentence?

That appointment would get some media attention.

 

[Member]

That appointment would get some media attention.

ok, so my reasoning is:

1. Hope Powell is extremely qualified as a coach and manager
2. We don't need someone in the 'mens game' because we have a solid squad and limited time to recruit. Powell's experience will garner respect
3. Ron loves some press attention and we could do with a reason to get people interested in the club.
4. The alternatives are a bit meh
5. Anyone called 'Powell' deserves a chance
