Numbers Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 There was a change of club president there,thats probably why he resigned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Strange coincedence. Would certainly like to see him as part of the new set up though. We could do with someone with some serious tactic brains though to make this work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Didnt expect him to resign so soon,well I was expecting him to be sack at least.But with the rumours that he might be Keegan's number two,it is not pleasing to hear about his resignation.I hope he will not join us in any role whatsoever.

toontownman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What grates you about Coleman? I always thought he did exceptionally well at Fulham, they should have backed him more. Must say he annoyed the piss out of me whenever we were linked to any of his players, but he always came across as a clued in young coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smarty2006 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Coleman as assistant might not be so bad? He has the experience of the "modern" game that the Keegan knockers harp on about. I could see Keegan/Coleman working out. .......But would obviously prefer Shearer though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Both tbh.. mind you I can see us hiring SBR as DOF just to fit in with BBC's sitcom requirements. Terry Mac either grows his hair again or has to wear a wig and glasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nufc_geordie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What has Coleman ever done wrong. To be honest I think he has exceptional potential and always liked the way he tried to get Fulham playing. He did a great job of keeping them in the league when Al-Fayed wasn't forthcoming with any pennies. Would love to see him in as a number two. What would be wrong with both him and Shearer working under Keegan? Surely that is just more experience from which Shearer can draw idea's. I'm sure some people on here deliberately look for problems that are not there! And the other point is the club president has changed and the new president said he didn't want Coleman. Why would he stay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Would love to see him here as assistant manager. Just keep him oot the nightclubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guinness Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Coleman, like Shearer would be a good choice for assistant manager. He's got managerial experience and would certainly be aware of the situation surrounding players having only resigned yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 would he take a number 2 place? I'm pretty sure thats a bad career move for anyone...

Unless you're Carlos Quieroz I think taking a number 2 job anywhere is a serious dent to your managerial career, it's like a step back, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a step back from having no job, or being unhappy managing a team in a foreign country, or never backed when do a good job at a club you love. Depends on the person, but i think the excitement of what's going to happen is something Coleman as a manager will never experience unless he comes here.

Jay Jay Sea Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'd like to see it happen personally and believe that Coleman is a good motivator (not in the same way that Keegan is) but still he didn't do a bad job at Fulham. I think he'll easily gain the respect of the players 1) because he did a decent job at Fulham 2) He knows what is required to operate in the EPL 3) It would be Keegan's appointment and in that I trust and 4) when was the last time the club had a decent number 2 with any sort of credentials? I'd put Coleman above someone like John Carver or Steve Clarke anyday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mucky01 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Carver and Clarke are coaches rather than managers, as the expression “putting the cones out”, did Coleman ever coach on the training ground or did he manage the club and delegate the coaching?

Sorry I'm just not getting your point here? Ok then to put it another way, surely Clarke and Carver were the nearest you'd get to a number 2 then? Anyway, I'm not sure that their jobs as 'coaches' was as limited you describe. Also, Coleman, as manager, must be fully clued up about management and coaching I would have thought. You merely getting hung up on job titles chap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I always liked Coleman, i very much doubt he would be up for being a number 2 after spending all his time managing though.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
