Would it encourage you to buy a Season Ticket if Webby got the job ??

Why would anyone want an unproven manager appointed?

Posted: **Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:10 am**

Webb I think will make an excellent manager one day, but today might be too early. When he returned to the club he even said himself he's not ready and whilst he's gained experience since then I'd hate for him to struggle and be kicked out.

However, should he be given the opportunity I for one will back him 100%

Both young and ambitious and would be backed by our fantastic owners. Daryl did well at Ebbsfleet and everyone knows Webby's story of the last few years. Both would need to consolidate our position in League 2 and build for the future.

What is webbys story?

Kind of had a career as a footballer because of his dad, then went into coaching kids?

Quite right. As an association with our club, I would prefer McMahon.

Posted: **Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:59 am**

Embleton/ Webb combo - bit like the Crowley brothers ?

Posted: **Wed Jun 19, 2019 12:07 pm**

I'm thinking McMahon

I'm for Jobi. A manager doesn't have to have every facet. Ferguson snr wasn't particularly sophisticated when it came to tactics so he always had someone alongside him who knew what the f*ck they were doing. Redknapp snr was the same. Always had a tactics guy alongside him. Slade was another one. Nuge took care of the football and RS did the leadership. What we need is someone who can unite the club, provide leadership and it'll be difficult to get that with an outsider. I've always seen Embleton as our resident tactics guy, but if not the bring in someone who is and stick them in there as Jobi's assistant. Jobi will command more respect and has more clout than either Ross or Webb.

What time is this happening? Any one got an idea of timing?

Disagree with your analysis. I think Slade did a lot more on the tactical side than you make out. I see Embleton in a similar way to Nugent- very much a number two and a genuine coach, getting the managers instructions across to the players. I think Webb was more involved in the tactical side than Embleton was with Justin.

I suspect that people are right when they say it will be Danny. However I would rather an experienced appointee from outside, not least that it would be very embarrassing if it doesn't work out. Imagine having to sack Danny or Jobi, bearing in mind the circumstances of their appointment!
We need a more experienced guy to take over, maybe someone like Chris Powell who's a really good guy. My fantasy appointment would be Chris Houghton but he'd never drop this low in my view & we wouldn't be able to afford him.
But, as has been said, whoever is appointed will have my backing 100%.

Exactly this.

If it isn't working out come Xmas, bring someone in and Jobi can focus on just playing again.

I agree that Jobi would command respect, but is he management material? I don't think so.

Not yet he isn't. We need somebody with experience to help us establish ourselves back in the EFL.

During the past week my preffered option was Jobi. I gained the impression that Justin really held him in high esteem. That could also apply to the other in-house canidates but in truth, none of us know enough about each one as long term manager.
If someone from outside was to come in then i would also have a preference for Chris Houghton but as others have said, very unlikely. I think he would bring success and is well respected throughout the game.

Posted: **Wed Jun 19, 2019 1:50 pm**

Chris Hughton
Steve McClaren

Webb Embleton McAnuff I think

Posted: **Wed Jun 19, 2019 1:50 pm**

Don't think Slade is the answer, and I doubt he he would come anyway.
Yorkshire based: no doubt he was happy to live in one of the flats at the ground when he joined nearly 10 years ago, but can't see him going for it as a 60year old eyeing retirement.

Although Jobi is a good shout; it's all based around him being a good player, who has a reasonable vocabulary- I think we need more, but appreciate the club doesn't have a myriad of options, since they need to act fast, but don't want to bring in anyone who's going to compare unfavourably with JE.

This is a very difficult call for the club at this time.

My worst fears have been confirmed.

Oh boy not happy with that appointment to be honest, don’t see it myself.

I will back and support him, but i feel it’s the wrong choice.

Yup soft option.

Can't talk about it. Legal action initiated.
