Its a dull appointment by the club .

I can see the logic to it in the short term but he would be here 15 years and not get us promoted. Someone like Manning on the other hand could he a risk but it is unknown how far he would be able to take the club

Yeah, but it’s a punt isn’t it, he is totally unproven. It’s a bit like injured players getting better the longer they don’t play.
 
On the upside his teams had a rep for playing good football & he knows Evans & the lad at Brighton. On the downside he's a Smog who I got the impression didn't like us much. The club need to help him out in the next couple of days.

Exactly. He is a steady-away appointment which is the season we need this time around but, aside from finishing omin the top 6 twice over 15 years ago, he has never managed it since.
If being a lower- mid table club for the next few seasons is our ambition, he's perfect.

Neil has never finished there for about 8 years either since at Norwich.

I don’t think we can expect someone to build for 5 years. If the club moves forward and makes the right sort of appointment, we won’t keep a head coach in the same way as we wouldn’t keep a high performing player. Add in the very particular challenge we have short term of dealing with the end of the window - and the most important aspect above all, of staying up this season - it’s fair to think of this as a very specific situation. If this was next summer - or even any summer window tbf - I’d agree that it’s short termist. Right now it’s a fairly safe bet to help us through a particular challenge.

This is the critical factor. Going up or making the playoffs would be a bonus. What we can't do is drop through the trapdoor. There are times to take a punt, and this isn't one of them.

It's someone that we're going to want to replace within the next two years. Don't like that type of appointment.

Thats football these days unfortunately, anything long term is extremely rare. Thats what had me so enamoured with Neil, I felt like he could be here for the next decade. How wrong I was :lol:

No.
No sniping whatsoever.
You lot are that much into this massive club nonsense that you actually believe you should have the pick of managers for your club.

You've just scraped promotion from the third division , yet the bulk of you seem to think that a manager with a decent record and plenty experience is just not good enough, also resorting to personal insults and accusations about him.

Just who would be deemed suitable?
Not Bruce, Parkinson, Dicannio, Johnson obviously

It was a clear snipe mate, let's be honest. Also, that is a huge generalisation, I for one don't regard us as that at all. Look at the poll. The clear prefeered candidate is a bloke currently managing in League One.
 
I’m not behind the appointment, not against it either. But the dour football thing….. Alex Neil had us solid as a rock in League One and the football, at times, was f***ing miserable. Let’s not forget that it’s a results business.

I can’t see any “obvious” choices out there that can guarantee success. Mowbray May be the closest to that out that at present. All depends on the definition of success, stopping up this season would be a relatively successful season in my mind, TM should achieve that.

Let’s just remember where we were about 6 months ago. We’re in a better position in a tougher league appointing a manager who finished 8th in the same league last season. Let’s be realistic.
 
Not the exciting appointment fans will crave but he's a solid & experienced Championship manager.

He's got a Championship promotion with West Brom & consolidated Blackburn in this League after winning promotion from League One.

Aye I made it up, they were all buzzing he left. I would trust the word over season ticket holders over Blackburn than flannels on here crying because we haven’t appointed a coach from mk dons or a lad from Chelsea who’s never managed before just because it’s deemed more exciting.
