SmogInSheff 66 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Surely it just has to be whoever Scott identifies inline with whatever club strategy and playing style we want to implement. I hope its someone we haven't heard of personally, no preconceptions that way. And I do think its vital that Scott tells the fans what that vision is once the appointment is made.

mendieta420 988 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Why are we trusting Scott with appointing a manager? He's a glorified scout! The fella has no track record of it. Remember where we were before Warnock and the hole he dug us out of, and be careful what you wish for. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we didn't trust him to do it, we wouldn't have hired him to do it. But right now, that's part of his job. I do remember where we were before Warnock. We'd put a manager in charge without any experience of the job because we knew who he was, we put a PR man in charge of football recruitment and made up stuff about a Golden Thread. Unless that's what you expect Scott to do... 11 Link to post Share on other sites

Well first of all it's his job, so you would think he has some experience in identifying the right traits. It's pretty clear that Gibsons judgement on managers are sketchy at best and tend to go from one knee jerk reaction to another. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 You could drag a random bloke off the street and I’d trust him to make a better judgment on a potential manager than Gibson.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolgate 675 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) It won't be solely upto Kieron Scott, Gibson will have the final say. Hopefully he listens though. Last time he listened to someone was Peter Kenyon and we ended up with Karanka and a promotion. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,177 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Ryan Lowe, Alex Neil, Appleton, Terry, Lampard would be on my list and i imagine Scott knows some top coaches throughout Europe and I'd personally like to go down that route again. Possession football would be great. Edited October 4, 2021 by Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Because for me if it doesn't include selecting the manager then he's not really the head of football at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Scott getting a lot of credit for finding players that our new head of recruitment identified! I do think he’ll be responsible for finding the new manager though and is probably well under way with that already Link to post Share on other sites
Boromadman 45 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 does nobody think its a bit weird us all speculating about who the next manager is going to be when warnock hasn't been sacked nor has their been anything said to suggest he's about to be ... I highly doubt SG is going to sack NW in what is no doubt going to be his last ever season as a manager unless it looks like we are seriously going down . If we are speculating about the summer when NW leaves then that's also pointless because alot can change between now and then in terms of whos in a job and whos available .

It's only better for us if the collective effort pays off so lets hope Scott and whoever else is involved can find the right man to take those players to the next level. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
