Dobbie/Eardley

That they're here and on the payroll, at a guess.

It would have been John Murphy had he not decided he couldn't be arsed with it any more. Maybe he's the real visionary of this season.
 
Agree with Phil, they are not the answer. We need an up and coming manager from the bottom 2 divisions, who is hungry and wanting to move to a bigger club. We need to stop the obsession of ex players and managers. Otherwise we might as well just appoint GTF now he's been potted. Loved him as a player, but we need to move forward.
 
We should do it asap if we want any chance of getting out of the sh1t.

Leave it to BB to make the wrong decision and act far too late. Must be written into his job description. 🤨

Or it could work out like appointing Grayson did in 2005. Obviously he'd need an experienced assistant.

We are a Championship club, appointing Dobbie who works with our youth players is akin to appointing the manager of Bamber Bridge or something given the standard of our youth
 
In the same way that none of us know whether he would be a good appointment or not, I don't know this for certain either.

But I suspect (and hope) he'd set the team up to the best of its strengths, based on who's available, and go for wins. Which surely can't be a bad thing in the short term?

Or it could be akin to asking Charlie Patino to run your midfield.
I agree if we are still in the Championship we'd needvto look elsewhere but I don't honestly think we will be and I'm an optimist.
And yes appointing Dobbie would be a brave choice but three out of four of our most recent managers have had experience and that hasn't worked out either.

What's he done to deserve a chance of managing us?

He's quite frankly has achieved very little so far but from what I pick up about him he does seem to be going about learning his job the right way.
Like I've said many times though he needs someone experienced alongside him and I'd be happy for that person to be Thommo.
I certainly think he'd be worth interviewing but of course I don't know who else he would be up against.
Personally I'd like to go back to someone young and ambitious with fresh ideas.
In the past having a manager that's "well connected" that could bring his mates in was always a draw but those days are gone with a recruitment team so it's not quite so important.
To a large extent it depends what pond we're fishing in.

So he's done nothing yet people want him in charge of a Championship football club

It's ** bizarre

Phil

I totally agree but we are sleep walking to League 1 at the minute.

Could changing it now make it worse? Yes possibly.

What we do know based on the MM tenure relegation is nailed on barring a miraculous change in form.

Give it a go, if we go down fighting then so be it.

It’s so frustrating watching Mick ball.

I'm just speculating obviously. Read what Harvey Hughes says about Dobbie and Appy on the Official Site. He could have had his fingers crossed of course.
Anyway it's HT at the Illegal Eagles at The Lowry. An excellent tribute band for those of a certain vintage. Surprised Mick
McCarthy's not here. 😁
