May have found the exit from the Balmoral hotel at long last. Can you imagine if Gullit or Rijkaard showed up. Legends but managerial career seems to have died out. So many others you could mention, Martin O’Nell or Dick Advocatt looking for jobs too 😱. Edited May 31, 2023 by Pasquale for King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShedBoy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 The way I’m thinking, is that the new manager will be announced after the season ticket window shuts on the 3rd. I think the board are fearful of some negative backlash should they announce someone that we don’t like en masse. Just a hunch. Anyway for what it’s worth, I think and hope SN will be our next manager, and I don’t for one minute think he’s lying by a pool smashing coke off a whores arse and tanning jägers. He’ll never be off his phone sorting out players in and out for next season. And hopefully calling in some decent favours. In my most humble opinion of course.

Why won't they have a proven track record? It might just be in a different league and country. Unlike some, I'm not too fussed if I've never heard of the next manager...in fact based on recent failings from those I was familiar with, I'd probably rather I hadn't. Googled one league - Hungary. I've never even heard of Kecskeméti Testedző Egyesület nevermind Istvan Szabo...but he's taken them it seems from promotion to Europa Conference league. They play in a 6000 capacity stadium and from what I can gather have nowhere near our finances or squad value. Seems he must be pretty handy, fair enough he might be a hipster manager and is actually being touted for all the jobs...but I reckon a move here would appeal to him. He's one guy, took me 2 minutes to find. There will be hundreds out there. I'm also not suggesting him btw as I've just plucked it out the sky.

Would certainly take that, Naismith to learn from working under an experienced manager then get the Job after 2/3 seasons. That would be a very good appointment imo. Nah , it will definitely be Naismith. The only question is whether they are negotiating with an assistant of Naismiths choice or whether they are waiting till Naismiths comes back from holiday and going with the 2 assistant coaches that are already there, that's it really. Don't know what some of the hyperbole on here us all about tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
