Caretaker Manager discussion

[BFC1997]

Managers don't last forever - the Aston Villa speculation made me wonder.

If DS and ROK left tomorrow, who would (at least temporarily) step in?

Kevin O'Connor, Andy Scott, Flemming Pederson and Rasmus Ankersen all have coaching badges - does anyone else in our backroom staff have the appropriate qualifications?

Who would you choose?

 

[GP200]

...........Wanderer Paul.............

 

[Lush55]

I bet MB already has all that covered a "just in case" plan.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Kitman Bob + Peter Gilham. Dream team. Peter could use the tannoy to relay Bob's messages to players from the sidelines. Each message might be sponsored by a local restaurant. Would bring thousands into the coffers.

 

[sonofabee]

I think we should look to bring in an expert from Europe paired with a local who the fans relate to.
My Dream team is Hypa 123 and Voice.

has he gone then?

Every time I hear/read an interview with Flemming Pederson I'm incredible impressed; I'd hope Kev has learned a lot from him, too. Dream team.

So am I, impressed everytime I hear him speak; might not need to look any further if it were to happen (personally can't see anything in the Holt End people coming after our present excellent Manager; the ex Man U defender bound to get it).

 

[wanderer paul]

It would be Flemming Pedersen, with Kev O'C as assistant.

At the moment anyway. :grey:

 

[wanderer paul]

...........Wanderer Paul.............

I haven't the time, at present, but in a week or so I'll have more spare time, so could fit the bees in. Can't wait.

I can go with Hypa 123 for his European knowledge but Voice as someone who local fans relate to - surely not!

 

[Orp_Bee]

If Dean was to leave I am totally convinced Flemming would step up. Presumably with Kev as assistant.

.....and the opposition wouldn't have a clue what PG was saying.........just like us........

 

[No_sting_Bee]

I think Fleming is in it like carsley. Does not want to be main coach.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Plans are already in place for some prominent GPG posters to take over. Final decisions will be via online polls but some serial offenders will be banned from voting on Friday nights.

 

[andyrew]

My sister...excellent judge of pointless threads

Well yes. All in code obviously. Thinking outside the testicle guard, innit?

Doh!

 

[dbee3]

Wanderer Paul OUT!

It's these wretched international breaks, brings them out like a rash.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Graham Westley?

That's a shame. 'Cause I was going for you as assistant to Northamptonbee. How could that partnership go wrong with the assistance of Doovster as fitness coach

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Karl Robinson is already lined up no doubt.

 

[sonofabee]

No chance we'd be accused of bullying and intimidating the players!

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I've seen you coaching from the sidelines. Very positive and encouraging you were too. Don't listen to the boos! lol

Thanks mate.

 

[DavidgRushden]

Why start a thread like this? Do we need speculation like this? Why not let the club get on with the structure we have, anf IF DS were to go, then be concerned about it.

This is what we do on here, isn't it? Especially during an international break when we are all bored sh1tless. I even toyed with occupying my time by starting a thread entitled "top 10 most fatuous international break nonsense threads on the GPG". (I didn't bother 'cos I know I would have won at a canter with my "most foggy fixtures ever" thread).

 

[WarrenBee]

I've got quite a bit of time on my hands, and would be more than hapy to spet up to the plate if required!

[Newport Pagnell Bee]

I'm bored. Think I'll start a pointless thread.

Hapy spet is productive spet, as far as I am concerned, WB. Bring it on. lol

 

[WarrenBee]

I can start on Monday!

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I can start on Monday!

You're most welcome. Many congratulations.

 

[TW3Bee]

Strange thread to start.

 

[Wise old Bee]

I am semi-retired and only work three days a week so could easily handle this. My 3-6-1 formation will be a success and I would like paler red stripes on our shirts. If MB fails to see the wisdom of this then I am happy to just be a caretaker as I am pretty good at DIY and can change fuses, fill hand-sanitiser dispensers etc.

 

[BFC1997]

Yeah, in fact, why have a discussion forum at all?

Hey I could do the other 3 days but my DIY is crap. That would need to be on your watch.

 

[Full Metal Jacket]

We're looking for an unknowable answer to an unnecessary question. You can tell it's an international break.........

 

[DavidgRushden]

I suppose you would say that as you started this pointless and alarmist thread.

Voice, where's me dubbin?

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

I'm not partaking in this drivel !

 

[Leedsbee]

Mary Berry is going to be looking for work soon.

 

[teejay46]

Some people have too much time on their hands!

 

[BFC1997]

Alarmist? Do you think that Dean Smith will be at Brentford FC forever?

It's a conversation worth having. I hate this new-fangled attitude of Brentford fans to just not care about what goes because 'Benham's got a plan'. We'll end up a distant, empty fanbase like Fulham.

it's worth having when you lose the manager, for all we know Dean could be our manager for the next 10 years, who knows? lots will change in the next few years for our club..

 

[BFC1997]

Exactly, who knows when he might leave. Surely it's worth having the discussion before you are thrust into the situation.

You've had the answer anyway. Pedersen and Kev.

You can't beat of good bit of rumour mongering
