SmogDane 4,056 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The right order must be: Leo as manager, Woodgate as U23 manager, Round as pole, Karanka as Assistant Manager and Stheve McLaren as lunch lady Link to post Share on other sites

Hes not the manager. He built the back bone of that team that got to playoffs, and ultimately went up this season. Wouldn't say he did too badly. Certainly better than the crap we have had here since AK Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 640 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 In terms of experience, I think Round would be a good appointment. However, is he the enthusiast of the positive, attacking football we all want to see? Given the clubs and the time periods he’s worked in I’m not so sure. He worked as DoF at Villa when Bruce was there when their football left a lot to be desired. He worked under Big Sam and Newcastle and we are all aware of his style of play. And he worked under Moyes at Everton and United when, again, I wouldn’t have called the football of those teams positive during those periods. Very hard to know how much influence Round would have had over the style of play in those setups though. Hopefully, if he is appointed, he can use his links to get us some players.

And if it is the case I do not mind having that level of continuity given people are performing in their respective roles. Absolutely. I’m surprised Steve McClaren hasn’t been linked yet. DoF: McClaren Head Coach: Woodgate Assistant: Steve Round GK Coach: Leo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

His time at Villa doesn't appear to have been a roaring success as he left within 2 years of being appointed. Assuming he was in control of transfers, and I just read an article that suggested he was, then he did manage to persuade us to pay £6m for Gestede, which is a work of bloody genius. Some of his signings are interesting mind, some fairly old and expensive (wages) players in there including John Terry, Chris Samba, Glenn Whelan and Ahmed Elmohamady all in one transfer window ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,942 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I think Gibson is gonna appoint himself as manager with his daughter as assistant and nigel Farage as director of football. Link to post Share on other sites

Only a few of the players they signed under him appear to be regulars and some of those are 20 odd games rather than 40 odd. Hourihane was a canny signing for them mind but it seems like many of the regulars were either signed before him or after him. Link to post Share on other sites

Steer, Taylor, Adomah, Tuanzebe, Hourihane, Kodjia, Jedinak, Whelan, Elmohamedy . Not bad recruiting tbh for this seasons team. Not to mention Terry and Johnstone that he brought in. Brought in some really good players that didnt cut it at villa but went on to do really well when they left. Granted its not at Villa but he knows his stuff imo. Link to post Share on other sites
