New manager prediction.

[Millennial Snowflake]

Richie Wellens is my choice.Got Swindon up last season playing attractive football.Went to Salford and left by mutual consent.

Got lucky at Swindon.
Took Oldham down and couldn’t hack it at the wealthiest club in L2.
His points average at Swindon was 1,46 per game.
No thanks.

Less than an hour before this post you said on another thread that Wellens would be your choice

Noone can take you seriously

Another thing.....any new manager will have to agree to work under a DOF, and lots wont. It restricts the candidates by a lot.

If the club got rid of the DOF, the number of candidates wouldn suddenly get more appealing im sure

Just said this to someone else, I think a lot will depend on the DoF role being watered down and shifted elsewhere so there's no interference. Seems like manager will get to pick their own coaching team this time too based on Teague's comments the other week.

[o-no]

The owners have backed themselves into a corner with Ling.

Clearly they are not going to come out publicly and say such-and-such an employee is rubbish, but by constantly backing him despite all the bad decisions they are making it very difficult for them to get rid of him now, even if they want to.

The club have constantly emphasised that Ling has basically met their exspectations and I assume they like us have some criticisms as in one pod cast Nigel cut short one question re Ling because Nigel was not prepared to carry out an employer performance review on a pod show.

Kent too emphasised Ling historical achievements at Lofc as the only person that has achieved promotions in multiple different roles at the club.

Yes we all know Ling shortcomings, but hey tell me is anyone of us or our work colleagues the perfect employee - no.

So we have Ling and I really do not believe that person in that role will inhibit the reasoning that a decent expierenced ( successful ) manager if offered the job as manager would not take it Ling or no Ling.

Peterborough rise and fall, now rise has Fry there and they appear to not only do generally better than most teams of similar size - they make an absolute fortune on the transfer market.

Personally I think people like Slade / Still could if they were given an opportunity do a reasonable job in Lings role with potentially a higher grade of return on transfers given
- a ) Slade more upbeat personality
- b) Still sustained ability he has proven at Dagenham over decades.

Both have " red blood " in their veins

That does not mean Ling cannot carry on in a modified tole to suit his positive attributes and subsiding his negative ones which appears to me to be public speaking / and using the publicised methodology in his decision making ( procurement of Fletcher / Davis and the promotion of a reluctant Ross.

All three failures in different ways and not solely Lings fault the board too who ratified his recommendations.

We still do not know why Fletcher was discarded with what appears no or little support of the other Lofc staff or directors after ticking all the boxes except expierence.

All we all want is a new manager that informs the public simply he has a major say in the players he wants to play the system or systems he needs to get the mandate of promotion achieved - without promotion he too will be disgarded by Lofc
- and Lofc will be only wasting more money and causing more agony to all.

Thanks for that Martin!

Just a thought but Alex Revell Stevenage manager. Has done well on a limited budget and an ex player. As I said just a thought?

[Horient]

In the Jobi statement it mentions at the end about other changes as well.

I’m assuming this means players, but I’m counting on it also meaning a change to the DOF position, in some capacity.

I also don’t think T&T would have issues removing Ling.

His performance is somewhat guarded by the various mangers performances as they’re on the real business end of it all. However, after a few managers have failed with the squad Ling has put together, I’m pretty sure the owners have started to see past the ‘manager’ issue and will definitely being looking at Ling next. Fingers crossed anyway

I’m also now worried about who will be doing the contract renewals. I really hope Ling won’t be deciding for a new manager which of this lot will be staying.

Wasn’t there a rumour about Ling been transferred to other duties and away from the director of football role . That might be behind the change in job title from Head Coach to manager

[BIGRON]

I also have a bad feeling that Ling will get the gig ☹

I'd like to think I'm nowhere near as pessimistic as Still Wrong.

No worries.
I still don’t know how you can mix a genius like me up with someone else.

Worth a shout but not an out and out experienced Division One/Two manager with promotions on his c/v.
We shall see but I would guess that Alex might well apply for the job, so he might be in with a chance.

I should imagine that Eddie Howe is looking to return to managing a Premier club.
Very good manager once viewed as an option to take over from Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

After the season Arsenal have just had he could be in line for it again . By Arsenal's standards they have been awful now for a couple of years .

Celtic or Orient, it's got to be a toss of the coin!
