ever get that dreaded feeling it could be mad mick?
before i get shot down for saying that

knows the championship inside out
did ok at Ipswich

i know his wolves connection wouldnt go down well
but better to have a manager that is familiar with the league we will be in next season
than an untried foreigner(sorry Josh)

With the messages that have come from the club this week, I don’t think the Management would be stupid enough to appoint Mick McCarthy. Mark Jenkins has said they want someone who can bring attacking football and goals back to the club. That will get the fans back onside. Mick McCarthy would go in the complete opposite direction of what Jenkins has said.

Unless there is a stand-out foreign candidate on radar, I do still believe that the club will go with a British Coaching Staff for next season. That’s even with Giuliano Terraneo on board and there are some good young guys out there who can bring what the club want. I personally think it will be between Michael Appleton and Dean Smith. Neither would be my preferred choice overall but that’s what I expect.

what we are going to need next season is a manger that has championship nous
i know our foreign football correspondent (josh) has thrown in a few names
but appointing a foreign coach/manger/head coach call it what you will is all well and good
but we will be battling to get out of a league that is as tough to get out of as staying in the premier league is
foreign managers only want to test themselves in the premier league
Appleton for me is a no no
my personal choice would be Shakespeare
but thats just me
next season is going to be a hard slog
cant see any foreign manager being able to cope with it

besides
any foreign manger would have to get used to the black country lingo
a german spaking black cuntry i dow fink sow

Here's one out of left field.

The possible return of Tony Mowbray????

Surely not after the way he turned his back on us!

[BaggieSteve]

Whilst he's had a less than stellar career after leaving us, Mowbrsy is doing a great job at Blackburn....and when he managed us, I thought the football was wonderful. However, I'm always nervous of managers going back to their previous clubs and our experience of Giles and Atkinson wasn't hugely positive

[WBA-Josh]

Who ever we bring in will have some risk to it and in my opinion Championship experience just like Premier League experience this season is overrated. There is no guarantee that any Head Coach, whether they have Championship experience or not will do well. A British Head Coach could have us where Warnock has Cardiff but could equally take us to where Sunderland are. (They have gone through two British managers this season) A foreign coach on the other hand could struggle to adapt like Daniel Farke at Norwich but equally could do a Nuno at Wolves or Jokankovic at Fulham and Watford a few years ago.

It all comes down to every aspect of the club fitting together. The Coaching staff and the players, the Head Coach and the DoF, the players with each other, the style of play and the fans, the Head Coach and the fans etc. If everything comes together then the nationality of the Coaching staff and their experience in the League becomes an afterthought in my opinion.

 Well said that man Josh - and I agree
