If the last relegation is any barometer the next manager will be Cathro.

 

I don't know whether that would be a good thing or not? The club clearly rate him internally as he was the only surviving first team coach and he's expressed his desire to manage.

 

I think I'd rather see how he did rather than give it to Pearson, Bruce or some of the other shite managers that have been mentioned.

Cathro would at least be interesting. Would be intriguing to see him do things his way completely. Would be a big call, but the club is going to hell anyway so why not. Might end up being a Eddie Howe type, which would be amazing.

Would certainly prefer him over those that have toured the managerial merry-go-round, though still there are a number of candidates I would go for first. As for the club rating him, I don't think so, he was kept on by Rafa, who had good references ( probably from his Valencia contacts, aswell as Balague, who rates him highly)

 

 

He seems very knowledgable, whenever i have heard him speak, the biggest question I think would be whether or not he would be able to motivate and lead.

They need a hungry guy who knows what it takes in the championship

 

Step forward Mr Chris Hughton

 

This all the way, would love to to get him back if he would even consider returning.

Cathro, man. The coaching this season has evidently been as bad as it gets. No fucking thanks.

 

People said similar about Hughton.

 

You know as well as I do that coaching has only been part of the problem.

Yeah, a  fucking massive part, given that we've not looked like a team all season and a lot of our players seem to have forgotten the basics. Perez looked like a future superstar at times last season. This season he can barely trap a bag of cement. The coaching is utterly shit. We've get zero leaders in the squad so whoever's in charge next season certainly can't be of that standoffish and delegate as much as possible to the senior players ilk.

What do we actually know about Cathro that makes people think he'd be a suitable candidate to manage in the championship? I literally know nothing about him other than he was rated as an understudy at some club in Spain. Since he's been here I've only ever seen him sitting in the dugout looking slightly confused. Like he doesn't know how the fuck he ended up here.

This is basically it. Spent a couple of weeks in Spain and morphed into a young Del Bosque. Carver has probably picked up as much on one of his Benidorm stags.

I thought exactly the same thing...

His coaching of youth players was reportedly very good and innovative before he went to Spain and came here. He sounds like he has a lot of potential to me from some of the reports I've read about him. He can't solely be to blame for our shite performances this season and I think it's worth keeping him on. Not sure about giving him the top job though.

Well it's the promotion to manager that I've got issues with. I don't have any problems with his coaching, although it doesn't seem to have worked here.

Wasn't there some talk that he was disillusioned under McClaren and felt he was being sidelined?  He would probably be perfect for the U21s or Academy but it sounds as if he very ambitious and probably would see that as a step back.

Under SMC he was behind Simpson et al in the influencing things pecking order which I'm sure demoralised him because I think he was originally kind of head hunted to become more than just a bit part player here. I'd persevere with him in a coaching capacity but as manager in the championship.... we may as will give it to Colo!

Martinez if he leaves, Rodgers, would'nt rule out Moyes being interested if we are willing to pay a manager.

 

Could absolutely see us trying to save money on cathro or going for a tried and tested dinosaur like Bruce. Ashley and the cronies have absolutely no grasp of reality as to what this club or the fans want/need.  Appointing Pearson Is another strong possibility who would be horrible just on the notion he is a disciplinarian and the club needs it.

Need a manager that has proven track record in that division imo.

Short term contract then get a manager suited to building a team back in the PL with a wider brief on style/squad development.

 

Promotion is everything.

 

Not gonna be palatable at all but the likes of Bruce, Warnock and the ilk who have that experience would fit the bill.

Why not??

Too good for us?? :lol:

Aye he's a cunt but...

 

He gets results. Not nice, not particularly pretty at all but he has a pedigree at that level.

MCcarthy, Bruce, Hughton? et al have to be considered too in all reality.

 

Taking a punt on a 'Garde' type appointment would be much riskier imo.

 

As I said short term only. IE get us the fuck out of this shit division and then shake hands and say goodbye.

Better picking the right guy for a project. This club needs completely gutting. I think the short term appointment to get us promoted could work but consistency is key if we can get the right person in. Does he have a ruthless streak still in him to do that or has he learnt from the hughton sacking which was the last time this club was actually a football club that connected and resonated with the fans.

 

we need the new manager in the minute the season ends and Rafa walks. I hope we are already sounding people out.
