Who do we want as our new Manager

[oldage]

How many other managers have we had who have outperformed their budget that much?

None of our managers have ever had the luxury of a big budget. This is Argyle you know.

Absolutely, but the size of the budgets we're up against now are far bigger than they have been in the past.

One approach would be to look at managers who have consistently overachieved when compared to the budget they have been operating under at their club or clubs. Of course there is much more to it than that. But I’m sure that people like Duff and Mark Bonner who worked miracles at Cambridge would feature if someone was to compile something like this. I’d be happy with either of those two as they both have very good knowledge of league one which should be a hunting ground for recruitment. They have both spent time at clubs who, like Argyle are underdogs. Yet have produced very good footballing sides. I’m fairly confident the new Rotherham manager would be on there too. Although I find he’s hard too warm to.

I like mention of mark bonner very much - that would be very much an 'Argyle' type appointment - in a good sense

Broadly, what he did at cambridge is precisely the job we want to be done at Argyle on a slightly bigger budget

What the fans said when Bonner left the club speaks more loudly than any reference ever could

He can pick a player on a limited budget

But what I like most of all about mark bonner is that hes the bloke next door- if you have nice neighbours that is, and theres something about the way he speaks so much common sense , in the interviews I've seen- which would be the ideal fit for the club. Players, staff and suppirters....

He's a good manager but all he's ever known is Cambridge, he was a coach there for years before becoming a manager and was born in Cambridge. I guess he's almost their version of Nance.

It'd be interesting to see how he gets on outside of Cambridge.

i would like joe 90 to be on the interview panel along with nance,dewi and simon.

Would be quite a big gamble, but I agree with you. Always comes across as very straight talking and genuine.

Joint head coach Lee hobbs & Joe Edward, Nance , the ex Parkway manager knows all to well about financial limitations, geographical constraints, depth of young talent across the SW region. Joe E knows the argyle culture, the passion and commitment needed. Nance know the coaching hierarchy.

No huge financial investment needed in coaches, so would give more money to invest in players.

Hahah, good one. Funniest joke ive heard all week. My next door neighbours managed a bit of sunday league lets chuck his name in the hat 🤣

Going with an experienced person who has done it in the Championship, League 1 and League 2, Nigel Clough. Not sure he'd leave the East Midlands, but he is used to working with a tight budget and developing players. Obviously got Mansfield promoted, so might be difficult to prise a way.

 

[Penmaster]

Absolutely, but the size of the budgets we're up against now are far bigger than they have been in the past.

But the access to players is more or less the same and there are only so many players to go around. So whilst the budget of other clubs may have grown, it doesn't necessarily mean that the quality of their players has 'grown' at the same rate.

A £10M player is not 10 times better than a £1M player.

tbh Steve listening to your previous assessments I dont think I'll point him in your direction for advice. You still haven't explained the difference between a good lower League manager and Championship

tell your friend that mister mccann is a natural lower tier manager and not second tier.let your friend imagine if the fine gentleman mister mccann had us adrift at the bottom of the second tier,would he open an account on here complaining about him. if your friend wants any more advice do not hesitate to contact mebh

Paul Cook could do a good job I reckon , love him or loath him !

He wasn't good enough last time, & he is 57 / 58 ,is that the profile PA are looking for?

 

[Cdp]

Defoe is really keen on the Sunderland job, and keeps linking himself to it, but if Sunderland had any interest in him he'd have the job alread

He wasn't good enough last time, & he is 57 / 58 ,is that the profile PA are looking for?

I hope he stays well clear

 

[Montybulldog]

Or Lee Hobbs, Des Buckingham, the Ossasuna manager or anyone else either in the press or on TV that won this week. Aren't you just repeating the same names and posts over and over?

i would like joe 90 to be on the interview panel along with nance,dewi and simon.

That's a bloody good idea

 

[j92r]

Definitely not Paul Cook, him getting so close last time terrified me

Absolute fraud
