Anyone give a reason why PEP should not get the job. ?

27 May 2017 00:26:22
Beattie took the touchline when Monk couldnt, must be a reason for that.

27 May 2017 00:44:29
Pep might just be a bit shy. 😳

27 May 2017 10:23:18
Reasons why Pep shouldn't get the job 🤔:
Newcastle, Brighton, Reading, Huddersfield, Sheffield Wednesday and Fulham 🤣. Is a banter Site !

27 May 2017 14:14:08
Good post class. Exactly. We happy with 7th now? Shame on us!

Unproven battyman

26 May 2017 20:44:17
Like a few people I am not disappointed with GM's departure. He/we had a good season but in fairness it was our back 5 who all had stand out seasons, in too many games they saved us not GM's tactics. You can count on one hand the amount of games we totally dominated, too often we were missing for the first half and too often the whole game. I personally would like to see us try for a manager with a pedigree someone who is actually managing a club rather than someone who is out of work. Top of my list would be Tony Pullis or Mark Hughes loads of experience, contacts and managers who demand a work ethic. It might sound pie in the sky but if Radz wants to build a club then give someone that responsibility to mould the club and get the foundations in place that see us get back into the premier league and stay there. Dyche would be a good choice as well. After Hockaday, Evans and Warnock, Monk was a refreshing change and let's hope our new owners actions match his words and he is building something special at ER and that he starts by making a forward thinking appointment.

Pardew for me

26 May 2017 23:10:44
Pardew is a liability. Chairman mike Ashley had too pay off his gambling debts whilst at Newcastle and was rumoured to be friendly with a players missus. Not exactly trust worthy imo. Each to there own. Lol.

26 May 2017 23:32:39
Dyche makes sense, knows the division and how to get out of it but why would anyone want Pullis or Leslie? Neither has done anything of note. Same for Pardew to be fair. We either need a big name, another young up and comer or someone with a track record of getting promotions.

26 May 2017 23:48:00
Let's face it. dyche hardly going to leave Burnley. Up n coming pep the man.

27 May 2017 00:29:47
A lot of Burnley fans seem to want the club to ditch Dyche and bring Monk in it seems (on social media anyway) . Would rather swap Burnley for Dyche than Bourgh for Karanka.

27 May 2017 15:31:18
Don't like Dyche . Not wanting to sound gingerist. Don't mind ginger hair, but ginger facial hair is a step too far.

26 May 2017 20:19:56
Is Clotet still at the club? Really hope we don't lose him, he's the one who recommended Jansson not Monk. He has an eye for a good gem.

26 May 2017 20:36:56
He's also apparently the one who sorted out the defence. I've asked this question before. I pep sorted the defence and spotted Jannson, Beattie helped wood then what the bloody hell did monk actually do? It sure as he wasn't study the opposition and try to work out tactics and formations to overrun them!

26 May 2017 23:13:53
Monk actually knew these guys were fit at what they do and brought them
In to make him look good. IMO. I'd say the lady 8 games are down to monks inexperience not the players. He was thinking he was happy with the points total 8 games out. And after that we wer diabolical PEP ASAP. MOT.

26 May 2017 23:37:54
Said it in an earlier post and will say it again, a managers job is to bring in staff and players to win games, if he brought in pep and he sorted defense and Beattie and he sorted attack then those things represent him doing his job. His job is to bring in what he needs to win not to do everything himself.

27 May 2017 00:22:17
Disagree, that's the chair

27 May 2017 00:28:46
The chairman picks the people to do the job he sets out. even if it is the tje case that monk chose those people his tactical utimatley were poor and spent half the season in relegation form, ultimately it's his job on the line, he has to pay. irs the way any business works. you fail you leave, unless you're the owner

27 May 2017 01:02:17
Chairman brings in managers and board level personnel Cura. Most managers bring in low level backroom staff such as coaches and assistant. that's why they tend to take key people with them when they change jobs (Monk with Pep for instance, Big Sam was legendary for taking 10+ staff with him every change earlier in his career) . that's why you pay with your job if it doesn't work out, its your fault.

27 May 2017 08:42:49
OK mine, i see your point. but the question then still remains. if monk brought in Beattie (who sorted wood out) and pep (who found Pontus and sorted the defence) then after choosing these two people what did monk actually do?

26 May 2017 18:25:58
Can someone who knows a bit more about betting odds than I do, please explain how David Hockaday is 66/1 to become our new manager. Call me crazy, but surely that should be 66 million/1 ?

26 May 2017 20:04:53
At least cura. Hopefully we are somewhere beyond managers off that calibre Pep for me.

26 May 2017 20:11:50
Sorry batty. if hat reply was for me, then which of my posts was it for mate?

26 May 2017 23:16:14
Sorry. It was for speedyg. Think it's a paddy power wind up giving the hock 66/1. 🙈🙈👊😃

27 May 2017 00:30:40
Glad about that mate as I know sweet FA about betting. at least no one on here can accue of being joey Barton

27 May 2017 00:53:54
No dego not cura. But with our posts I feel we agree on a lot of factors. I feel a bromance on the way. 😂😂👍⚽️😃

26 May 2017 15:47:44
Please not Karanka! Boringboring defensive football.

26 May 2017 18:18:37
Like Monk then?

26 May 2017 19:40:31
At least karankas boring brand of play worked in the championship

26 May 2017 19:54:33
If we win 1-0 and win every week, who cares?

26 May 2017 20:12:15
Yeah, Karanka to get us up, then get rid and then Guardiola or Conte to win the Premier and Champions League! 😝

26 May 2017 20:13:44
Agreed sg, but with Pontus playing and being suspended 15 times a season a cooper as cover unfortunately that would never happen. God I love our talented number 6!i think Liam copper is what berardi at left back is for bermo!

26 May 2017 15:30:15
Are we in danger of making the same mistake we did when Deniis Wise left and not looking at the assistant. Is/ was Pep the brains behind Monk, worth a shout in my opinion, either that or bring back Gus Poyet not that I am superstitious 17 Purple (can say that now Massimo has gone) but is it coincidence that DON REVIE and GUS POYET have the same number of letters in their every day names, bring back the glory get us GUS LOL!

26 May 2017 17:51:57
Poyet? you been on the sauce? Seriously we have an opportunity her to step up a gear and you put forward Poyet

26 May 2017 13:44:46
Really not convinced with Ranieri. According to Leicester fans it was Shakespeare's tactics that had them set up in pre-season and they went on to win (shudder) the Premier league then last season the tinkerman took over, reverted to type and started messing around with the team and ruining results. Ranieri was sacked, Shakespeare took over and they started playing well and winning games again. on that basis, its a 'no' from me.

26 May 2017 14:07:22
It's actually a good post by you alf. I'm friendly with one of the directors at Leicester who says the exact same thing.

26 May 2017 15:28:38
Got to agree Alf. He has also proved that under pressure he can easily lose a dressing room.

26 May 2017 15:31:46
Interesting both. Insightful alf
U got a friend george? Even by your standards. that's a tall one mate.

26 May 2017 16:07:30
George. A one night stand does not make someone your friend. Especially when you paid !

26 May 2017 17:24:43
Does it really matter who's tactics they are though? At the end of the day a managers job is to put a team and a squad in place to win games, if he brings in a tactician and the guy does well, the manager has done his job. Should also be said Ranieri has 4 major league trophies to his name, your beyond luck at that point, even if his only contribution was bringing in the right people to make it happen does anyone care as long as the team wins?

26 May 2017 19:45:59
Spot on Gummie. Until now we could only have dreamt to be linked with someone like him. I'd say YES please. Lovely bloke too. Not that it's that important, but better than some ar**hole

26 May 2017 12:41:40
I honestly believe that we are going to have a new head coach that no one has thought of. Similar to the hock in some respects, someone brought in from Europe with a bit more pedigree. Jeff, if you're still out there, please give us some divine inspiration. Are you hearing any names like I remember you hearing Dave? But this time is it a Pablo, Luca, Giovanni?

26 May 2017 14:09:42
Jeff told MM that the new manager will have only consonants in his last name and only vowels in his first name. Sorry MM but I followed you to Maccy Dees and sat in earshot to your conversation.

26 May 2017 11:46:22
Another name which may come into the manager reckoning is JFH.

26 May 2017 13:36:00
or JFK?

26 May 2017 08:27:10
Danny Cowley of Lincoln City would be a good shout, rather than a lot of the dross that has been mentioned. Good young English manager who will definitely be in the premier league sooner or later. Probably a move too soon for us but I would love to see him at ER one day. A great motivator and tactician. This lad was a school teacher not that long ago. Similar CV to our most successful boss in recent history - a certain Mr Wilkinson. MM

26 May 2017 13:55:59
His a really nice fella Mick but needs a couple of more years . He and his brother managed a local side before Lincoln .

26 May 2017 07:29:52
I think we should go for raneri as are new manager and keep hold of woods but it as to be a three year deal

26 May 2017 08:14:22
Well I don't see how anyone could object to Ranieri. He'd be my dream signing

26 May 2017 10:13:19
Wood already contracted to 2019 so no rush on that score

26 May 2017 13:45:49
I can object Speedy. Dream on.

26 May 2017 15:11:05
It really makes no difference if Wood is contracted. If he puts a transfer request in, he'll go. Players and agents have all of the power now. The only thing the contract will secure is a good fee unless he has a ridiculously low release clause! MM

26 May 2017 02:16:43
I would seriously consider promoting from within immediately and put PEP in charge and let him bring in his own staff. If Beats is his number 2 then ok. It's always the same thing. One manager gets sacked then gets another position after being sacked because he was crap and losing games. Why do we want the same old mercy go round circus with the same managers. i. e. Moyes. Neill to nsme but a few. PEP been in around the squad and knows the players I'm sure well enough too improve and get the best out off each. No wholesale changes needed. Just some new faces to playing squad MOT 👍⚽️⚽️⚽️😃
