Liam Rosenior

[Murray]

If it's Rosenior I'll be very, very underwhelmed.

It'll be a case of 'we didn't get our first choice, or our second, possibly even our third because we refused to be flexible in terms of the model, so we went for the candidate that said fine, I'm OK with what you're doing because I'm out of work'

I've always tried to be supportive of what the club are trying to do, but I'm increasingly struggling to get behind what seems like either incompetence, stubbornness or possibly both

This is exactly how I feel. If Rosenior is appointed, without knowing the details, it does feel like he was third or fourth choice. If we were so keen on him he could and would have been appointed 3 or 4 weeks ago. There was obviously something in the Still and Jansen rumours and it looks like we were turned down.

I've had more patience with the ownership and management than most on here and have tried to give them leeway to make some mistakes as ultimately we have been moving in the right direction. However the disastrous appointment of Beale (which everyone foresaw apart from the club) and the subsequent months of seemingly doing nothing have been a complete joke as we've lost all momentum.

This is another appointment that I really hope goes well but feel it highlights the narrative coming from KLD and Speakman is largely bullshit.

Has he singed?

Just having his brekky with Bob then he's off to the SOL to sign mate.

 

[Ned Land]

They want to manage safc, but get into talks and realise the extent to which they'll be managing with one hand tied behind their back, and then decline

That’s probably true.

Which means that eventually KLD and KS will have to change the parameters, or we’ll have Dodds and relegation.

 

[Ale taster]

Hope he gets what he asks for especially with bringing in his own coaching staff, this will be however a total waste if the recruitment doesn't improve too

The chances of Speakman getting all the ducks in a row?
Not a quacking hope

Strange just got off the phone with our leader he knows nothing about Rosenior.
Which now tells us tis you who just makes things up and tells lies.
Well, well,well.

 

[Sumdumgi]

The problem is, we might as well fast forward to December/January time when he will be inevitably sacked and the process starts all over again, probably with Dodds taking charge until the summer and this time next year going down the exact same road where it takes 4 months to appoint someone like John Eustace after being knocked back by 7 other targets.

A complete waste of everyone's time.

I'll await the abuse from the "back the club no matter how many times they make a fool of me, this time will be different " brigade.

So who should we appoint then ?. I don’t know much about Rosenior to be honest but I do know he has a solid playing career behind him in the UK and experience of managing in the Championship.

I don’t care if he’s the 50th choice long as he does a good job here eg winning matches

Well, well,well.

Our leader ffs lol that must mean he’s due to sign later or this week

 

[Munchkin]

Whats your point?

People trying to big up how good their football style was yet they were worse to watch than Sunderland. Side to side, back a bit, forward a bit, all behind the halfway line.
The owner asked him to liven it up a bit with the players brought in.
Rosenior said no and got the heave-ho as a consequence.
I still doubt he'll sign.

 

[daveyboy123]

So we apparently opened discussions with him last Tuesday and ...were still no further foward ...

Something way off if true

Poor WiFi connection

If we have a 7 person panel interviewing Rosenior or other candidates nee wonder it’s taking so long.

OK... I agree they were uninspiring and dull in the two games I saw them - I thought you were suggesting he hadn't improved their touches in the final third, which he may have done without providing exciting attacking football.

We're all on edge

This is the clubs career progression plan for Dodds.

When the inevitable happens and Dodds takes "temporary charge" they will hope he wins a few games and offer him a 5 year contract as full time manager

Dodds has taken charge of 18 games in his 3 spells lost & won 4 11 I’ll say no more

''touches in the final third'' ?

[Clavas]

Dodds has charge of 18 games in his 3 spells lost 11

Which is why they couldn't offer him the manager job full time - the owners plan all along

Once he wins 3-4 games in a row he will be great again and offered it

7 .. what is this speakman trying to load balance the risk .

 

[Angelic Cynic]

Liverpool, a fairly big,successful club accepted second choice,after Alonso remained loyal.
Bayern Munich , a fairly big club,accepted Kompany who was about eighth choice but plays in a style they desire.
Even the black & whites took Howe after several rejections - one of which was Emery.
After missing out on the laptop coaches I would have thought an individual who has been at the coalface,got muck under his fingernails,and neither he,nor his father,have had an easy time of it,would be welcomed.
Too easy to judge coaches, in a short time period, without knowing what goes on in the background.
Fairly big club Manchester United haven't yet decided how far down their list they will go.

Poor WiFi connection

Poor owners ...fiscally and suitably
Wonder how this place will react when he rejects us..

If he has a smooth start I reckon he'll become an extremely popular coach.
