Dave Challinor - managerial rumour


Get Into Em said:
He wouldn't be top of my list, but I don't see it as bad of an appointment as others do. He's an up and coming manager with a fantastic record who looks like he'll inevitably get a chance at this level, or the top end of League One before long. Just like many of the other foreign managers we've been linked to.

If it's not us that take a chance on him, someone else will, and we may regret not doing so.

He's had 700 matches, of which the majority have been in the National League and Lower. He's not up and coming, he's been around for ages and no one has thought to give him a job in the EFL.
You've said someone might take a chance on giving him a top end League 1 job, but you'd bypass that and drop him into the Championship?

I get what you’re saying but he was managing league two players, in league two and those are the results he achieved. He’s had something like 6 promotions with 3 different clubs; they can’t all have been flukes or bankrolled by rich owners etc. Other than him not being a ‘name’, I’d be quietly happy with this as a calculated gamble.

700 matches, majority in non league, never managed in League 1 and now just drop him into the Championship?

See I get all that and accept the reasoning but at the same time we're happy to drop a 31 year old into the championship who hasn't even managed a men's professional game. It makes no sense really does it?

He's up and coming given that he's went from The NLN to League One within about 5 years, having an excellent record whilst doing so. "Up and coming" doesn't mean new, or young. It just tends to precede the words 'new', or 'young'.

Not sure what your point is with your question at the end, given I've already answered it, unless you've somehow accidently missed me saying 'at this level':

"He'll inevitably get a chance at this level, or the top end of League One before long. Just like many of the other foreign managers we've been linked to.

Really? He's spent all but two of seasons of a managerial career spanning over 700 games in the non-leagues. Last year he got Stockport promoted into League 1. He's got no experience of managing above League two and only teo seasons of football league experience. That makes him ready for a Championship job???????????

He’s ready. Brian Clough & Alex Ferguson earned their corn in lower leagues. Would you rather have a mediocre manager who has managed in the Championship?

So the club go from sacking Mowbray, a well respected experienced championship manager and in their statement justifying this decision say “"Central to that approach is a relentless demand for a high performance culture to be implemented throughout the club”

The club is then linked to a number of young foreign coaches before appointing ….. Michael Beale.

After an agonising yet highly predictable short tenure Beale is dismissed with the club saying …Our focus is now on the players and supporting Mike Dodds in the remaining games to ensure we achieve the highest possible league finish” - we crawl over the line in 16th place.

The season ends with yet more links to prominent young foreign coaches. Rene Maric, Will Still, Raphael Wicky are all said to be imminent appointees at various times yet the links now emerging point to Robinson and Challinor.

Does anyone get the impression they don’t have a clue what they’re doing ?

If we appoint a bloke like Robinson or Challinor we may as well rename the club Poundland AFC.

You are saying that as if Maric, Still and Wicky are top class coaches. They have nothing on their CV to show they are proven experienced managers. They are potential coaches but then so is Challinor.
Yes he has only managed at lower level but he has been successful at every club he has been at.
Each one carries a risk but I don’t see Challinor being any more of a risk as Maric who has only managed at youth level.

All I can say at this point is that I'm glad you're not in control of who comes in.

Sure you're just a wum on this particular subject mind.
 
What has it all come to, speculation after how long? Now dredging the bottom of the barrel

Fancy asking me a question and calling me a wum for giving a normal answer.

You did say he might get a top end league 1 job and then ignored that part when you replied like.
But hey this is all irrelevant because I've still got some confidence that our lot won't even consider someone like Challinor.
