Possible new managers

[Jai]

A lot of it is pot luck really. They gave Rowett his first job and he has been cracking. We blooded Alvin Martin and Rob Newman and, err... they weren't. We got lucky with Tilly, but not too many first-timers succeed.

I personally think we will promote Coughlan.

Being a time since we changed managers...........is that when the members of the board are locked in a room in the East Stand and a chimney is errected so all the supporters assembled on the carpark await with excitement and anticipation for a decision to be made? Black smoke indicates that the more ridiculous of the job applications have been burnt and eventual white smoke tells the Southend United believing world, that another leader has been chosen...................HOLD ON A MINUTE our one hasn't resigned yet!

A lot of those won't go to L2. Spud's just taken a new role with England under-20s.

Michael Appleton must be due another job change soon.

Two pages of half-hearted jokes about everyone from Ron Atkinson to Peter Taylor (God help us). May it be the case that this isn't really the time?

Please contact Mr Abramovich for advice on treatment for repetitive strain on those jerking knees. You don't want to be limping at Wembley.

Would that be the same Rob Newman who won xactly 50% of the bread-and-butter home league games whilst in charge as against the 43.75% home win ratio of a certain Mr Sturrock?

Rob Newman at home: Played 36 W 18 D 5 L 13
Paul Sturrock at home: Played 64 W 28 D 18 L 18

Maybe had Sturrock matched Newman's home record we might have been promoted automatically last season and be in the play-off spots this. However, he hasn't!

Ill be happy with any manager who doesnt believe in hoofing to get promoted.

He hasn't. Fortunately however, some games are occasionally played away.

Sturrock plays percentages because he's got a relatively small budget. It's all very well playing lovely incisive attacking football if you have the players with the talent to do it. However, the lion's share of League Two sides do not have this luxury.

I don't think they style has been particularly bad this year, but you'll always have the likes of Prosser who are more comfortable just clearing their lines rather than trying to pick a pass.

But it is the HOME record that is lacking and would have seen us promoted last year and in a much, much better place this season which stands at 33.33% home wins - and that is abject.

 

[Jai]

I didn't say our home record wasn't poor. It is woeful. The discussion was about blooding new managers and Newman was, overall, a poor manager.

Pointless thread imho. We haven't got a pot to **** in, so can't release Sturrock until the end of the season I suspect, and we are hardly going to be able to pay for a decent replacement, so it will almost certainly go to Coughlan.

 

[sufclee]

How often does the assistant step into the role of manager though, maybe i'm wrong but it usually seems to me that when the manager is sacked or leaves then his 'team' including assistant go with them.

I agree 100% with the above!

He just sounds like the archetypal non-league Essex club manager. Amongst his quotes (has to be said in a mockney, moving your head from side-to-side manner) are: "Yeah, Deano's Deano. You know what yer gonna get from Deano"

Wasn't Di Matteo assistant when AVB was Chelsea manager?

Usually if a manager leaves and a new one comes in, he would prefer to have people he can trust.

Tilson’s interviews were awful too, but it didn’t stop him doing a good job.

I’d be happy with Devonshire.

Reminds me of Danny Dyers more ****-er-nee Dad would really not want to listen to him anymore than I need too. "Know what I mean Geeza".
