They get experience in situations that allows someone a reasonable amount of breathing space to learn the craft. BWFC on its arse in league one is not that situation.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 12:09 pmHow do wanna be managers get experience?
Clearly, anyone with a good pedigree is going to be beyond us, so we're left with experienced folk who've tasted failure at least once (and more likely more) or someone with no management experience but who potentially has the attributes to be a success.
I'd rather a 'nonsense suggestion' than Steve bloody Cotterill any day of the week!

Re: The next manager
Sometimes, sometimes not. In summer 1971 the club was on its arse after a record-breakingly bad relegation season in which we'd gone through three managers, and took a chance on a 35-year-old whose boots were so freshly hung-up they still smelt of dubbin. He steadied the ship and took us up in his second season. But he was Jimmy Armfield.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 12:20 pmThey get experience in situations that allows someone a reasonable amount of breathing space to learn the craft.

And when he left for Dirty Leeds, we elevated his assistant who'd only arrived that summer. (Admittedly, he'd previously won the Second Division title with Huddersfield, but since then he'd also taken them down twice.) After a couple of near-misses he took us up to the top flight. But he was Ian Greaves.
Sometimes when you take a risk you get a Jimmy Armfield, sometimes you get a Sammy Lee. Sometimes when you get a more experienced manager you get a Bruce Rioch or a Sam Allardyce.

I mean, he's well-liked and he knows The Kids, but three years ago his record read LLLLLDLWL, F5 A19. In his first three away games we conceded 14. I know we were in a tailspin but it's hardly like we're floating serenely along now.
If we're utterly f*cked with no money and forced to rely on half-baked academy lads, then maybe.

Oh ... Duh you mean because it's the away end!
Because FA rules stipulate 15% of seating must be available to away fans. Without a South Stand the full seating capacity of 28,723 will be reduced to less than 22,000.
Did you not know that?

Hmm.
I’d also say this is everything wrong with the thinking here. Just appointing a young untested manager doesn’t mean we suddenly become Barca. A naive young manager having a team out of its depth is not likely to do anything other than end in tears. Modern football fanitis this. We will be scrapping for our lives in league one at best. We need someone who knows how to get the best out of poor players and someone who can cope with ridiculous expectations. Because we all know our fans won’t be happy or content.

Re: The next manager
^ blimey. That's quite a leap from trying an untested manager to becoming Barcelona!
For clarity - I agree, if we survive we're in for a long hard struggle. Personally, I'd rather that struggle be about trying to build something long term and sustainable a'la Pompey.
As a season ticket holder since 1982 I suppose i should be quite chuffed to be described amongst the modern fanitis

We need someone to inspire and lead, to bring the club back together and give the fans some hope for the future. Age isn't a barrier to doing that. The mettle of a person is everything to do with it.
