Our new manager - Salopbaggie - 11-10-2022
I see Carlos Corberan is now being reported as being set for talks with the club about the position. Maybe a halfway house between new(ish) blood and old school experience. What do others think on the suggestion? Having Pep Guardiola as a previous reference has to be positive. Though I do wonder when he cited lack of ambition as the reason he 'resigned' from Huddersfield as to what he could possibly see here.
RE: Our new manager - Devongone - 11-10-2022
Maybe the ambition he's seen in Greece with the Nottingham Forest set-up might make you look a safer bet for a job.
I suspected Corberan was being groomed to take over from Steve Cooper at Forest who was almost bound to fail, but he got a long contract and Carlos got the sack.

You could become the first and last side to stop Haaland ........ permanently.

I have said all along I can't see it. Keane himself yesterday said the rumours are "absolute rubbish".

So glad Roy Keane is not coming, although we could probably do with him to sort the players out, it would only be worth bringing him in for a couple of weeks though.
Preferred choice is Dyche, but I think he is waiting on the Leicester, Southampton or Leeds job to come free, and will turn us down.
So I would then want Corberan, must have learnt from Bielsa. Hope he is willing to come and prefer him to Wilder, Parker or Edwards.
If Corberan doesn’t fancy it I think we should go for a longer term view and take on an up and coming manager, such as the guy at Wigan or Ipswich.
I will throw a left field suggestion in, we could do a lot worse than getting Darren Moore back.
Who do you want as next manager?

From my perspective you can keep you hands off Moore at the moment, but in the overall Wednesday fan base I would say its not far off 50-50 in terms of whether he should stay or go. Jury is very much out on whether he can get us up or not, and promotion is his one and only goal this season.
RE: Our new manager - BaggieSteve - 12-10-2022
Big Dave - nope. Really love him but I’m never comfortable about a previous manager returning, particularly after they’ve been sacked.
Wilder and Dyche - nope. Very experienced but let’s have someone younger with fresher ideas. Wilder could start a fight in an empty room, while Dyche would undoubtedly have us organised but playing likely playing what has been described as Brexit football, so not for me
Corberan, Rowett and Richardson - yep. Accepting their lack of experience relative to Wilder and Dyche, they would bring a freshness to the club and be part of hopefully a longer term strategy. I know Forest managed it last year but I don’t see promotion for us this season so let’s use the opportunity to introduce new ideas and some of our excellent young players.
However, I’m sure the owner and CEO have different ideas, so Mark Hughes it is!
RE: Our new manager - Devongone - 12-10-2022
Ex-Chesterfield-player Sean Dyche ..... possibly the most brainless player I've ever watched, but also the most committed. He'd get you back to the Premier League, but with a permanent romance-bypass.
Ex-Chesterfield Assistant Manager Liam Richardson....... did anyone ever think he might one day be Manager of West Brom'? Doubt it. Not many wanted him to manage us! But he seemed a decent bloke and Wigan aren't doing bad. The imagination certainly won't catch fire.
Chris Wilder - managed Alfreton and Sheff Utd, travels by bus. Middlesbro' should have left him in charge and climbed the table. His personality doesn't mesh with yours though.
Darren Moore - never try to recreate teenage sex, the wardrobe seems to have grown and the hours have reduced to minutes.
Gary Rowett - seemed like he was making a successful manager, but he's never completed a whole one.
Carlos Corberan - the Bielsa link is like being sired by Frankel. Huddersfield could have invested in him and didn't. One-trick pony or classic winner?
Mark Hughes - looks the part. Manager from central casting. Performance more wooden mould than quality steel though.
Roy Keane - past managerial failures, like past career-ending fouls, don't exist on television. He'd need a diving helmet to survive in the real world.
I'd go Rob Edwards - sacked by Watford - if your board chickens out on Corberan.
