Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Mediawatch: Writes Stan Collymore in his Daily Mirror column on Tuesday: ‘I like Jaap Stam and David Wagner, and it’s nice to see some younger, fresher names cutting their teeth as managers.’ You can sense the ‘but’ coming… ‘So I was delighted that their Reading and Huddersfield sides reached the Championship play-off final. In Wagner’s case, I’m certain he’ll be part of a rising trend of clubs appointing men who once assisted the so-called super-managers.’ ‘So-called’. Collymore’s disdain really is majestic. ‘But I’d also love to see British managers of a similar age to them given the same chances by clubs in and around the play-off places.’ Erm, Stam and Wagner weren’t appointed by clubs ‘in and around the play-off places’, Stan. They were appointed by clubs in 17th and 18th in the Championship, who had failed under British managers Brian McDermott and Chris Powell. The reason both made the play-offs is at least in part due to the excellence of their managers. Very few clubs in the play-off places appoint new managers, by the very definition of their decent league position. Still, Collymore is right about British-born managers not getting appointed in the Championship. After all, since Wagner was appointed by Huddersfield only Paul Lambert (twice) Dean Smith, McDermott, Lee Johnson, Neil Warnock (twice), Nigel Pearson, Paul Trollope, Owen Coyle, Alan Stubbs, Garry Monk, Steve Bruce, Steve McClaren, Kenny Jackett, Warren Joyce, Ian Holloway, Paul Warne, Tony Mowbray, Gary Rowett, Graham Barrow, Mark Warburton and Harry Redknapp have been given jobs in that division. Keep fighting the fight for justice. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Lambert off already? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39896630 Sounds like they had someone else lined up before sacking him, it's interesting that the main reason cited there was that he wanted to sign British players and the owners obviously didn't. Wonder if he's a good shout for the Mackem job now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Can't see Wolves going anywhere fast. Another club taken over by a group without a fucking clue how to run a football club. seems to increasingly be the norm rather than the exception. Don't know why these new owners think that trusting an agent with running the transfers etc is ever a good idea and won't just lead to him making lots of money for himself and screw the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
