New Manager Poll

[hanworthbee]

Big Sam has never let anyone down

 

[GP200]

I even saw Paul (USA) there

........in shorts or long trousers???????.......

 

[NorthamptonBee]

How was your day? I guess you sort of got lost amongst all those people?

It was fine, I reckon this lot will remember me longer than I remember them.

 

[WisBee]

..............................I wonder whether Andy Sinton has thrown his hat into the ring, seemed to do (more than) OK at Fleet and now with AFC Telford, maybe the vacancy has come too soon for him, although we've already got the initialled tracksuits etc(!) - and anyway, if Mr Forster continues in the same vein, surely all other bets would be off, wouldn't they??.............................

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Coppell there???

If Coppell were interested, I wouldn't bother with the selection process, I'd just give him the job.

Quite frankly, if the quality of the list above is anything to go on, Sinton ought to save the hat.

Same here mate

 

[Blythb]

Coppell would be my dream and they never come true
Allen would be my nightmare - single dimenional football
Johnson did great at Yeovil and had two good seasons with Bristol City and would be my realistic choice.
What's Perryman doing now?

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Overheard that Johnson, Wilkins and Allen were all there. Also heard that Hodgson, O' Neill, Venables and Ron Atkinson were too so not sure what to believe..............

.....you forgot Diego Maradonna, Jose Mourinho, Ringo Starr, Roy Keane, Cameron Diaz, Franz Beckenbauer.

 

[WisBee]

Quite frankly, if the quality of the list above is anything to go on, Sinton ought to save the hat.

...............................just thought I'd give his name an airing, he's probably had more success and experience than Dean Holdsworth, who a number of people had been clamouring for - but I'll shut up if that's what you're telling me, boss.....................

He's a sort of director of football at Exeter, I think. He's getting on a bit, I would think he's happy living down in Devon, I can't see him coming back.

Not telling you anything .....erm, subordinate ....

 

[scruff puppy pup]

I think it was Steve Perryman who scouted Tisdale, spotted him managing at Team Bath.

Any excuse to mention Deano will be gladly jumped upon: Aldershot today earned a very creditable away point at top of the table Chesterfield. I really believe Deano has got something as a manager. It's probably too late this season, but I would put decent money on Aldershot getting promoted next year.

Yeah, but we were s**t, Chesterfield are good and score a lot of goals at home. It's a tough place to go and get a point in Division Two, and they were behind as well and still came back. I've stopped looking at Newport's scores now, and always look to see what happened to Aldershot now Deano is in charge.
Good managers need luck. Deano has that about him, Andy Scott doesn't.

 

[A_BEE_SINCE_63]

You don't often get the opportunity to appoint an experienced manager who is not out of work due to anything but his own failings.

But, in Gary Johnson, we could appoint a manager who is out of work as he was not prepared to accept bullshit from a chairman and a director of football. Barry Fry ? He couldn't direct traffic !

Gary Johnson for me.

No problem with Gary Johnson, but can we please get on with it. I'm not too keen on this 'not in a hurry' 'want to get the right man' long, drawn-out process. Just give him the bloody job and he can be in the dugout for next weekend.

Where did u here that?

 

[KGB]

Agree with you totally, SCG. One worrying thing today was the 'selection process' outlined in Andrew Mills' article - could take us til the end of the season! I would hate to see another SF debacle.

All the criteria should have been in place for days (if not permanently held on file & reviewed regularly). We don't need to know that info but what we do need is a new manager asap.

That said I can't really believe they are not much further along with the process than they are presently willing to disclose - I certainly hope so!

 

[difford]

If we do the business on Monday but Forster does not get the gig will who ever it is be the first manager to lead a side out for a Wembley final having not been in charge for the semi final?
It must have happened before but I cant think of one.

I can't find the next Brentford manager odds on Sky Bet (coz i'm sh*te)

I thought it was in the managers specials bit?

Skybet have removed it and it has also been removed from Oddschecker ,probably due to so many faces seen today and rumours .

Cheers for the reply.

I thought having so many faces and rumours would be their bread and butter.

I wanted to keep tabs on Keith Curles odds :suspect:

 

[Stanley]

I think it is Forsters to lose at this stage.

For those of you who were lucky enough to be at the game today, Bee's Player had an interview with Andrew Mills before the game where he gave an open and honest assesment of the week just gone, the headlines were as follows:
- He had a call with MB and board on weds night to discuss the club, the results etc...a few ideas were banded about however they all decided to sleep on it (didn't finish the call till after midnight)
- Thurs morning (8am), held another call and it was decided that CEO had the job of meeting AS/TB at a hotel and letting them go
- Had 46 CV's in his inbox by the time he got back from the training ground
- MA been in touch with him, been told that if he meets the criteria then he will be spoken to, if he doesn't he wont be
- A Manager (unnamed) was heading down to the south coast to take a job however he wanted our job more so could meet up to discuss it further, said manager turned down the job on the south coast and phoned up Mills still asking to talk about it, Mill's said that he wasn't in a position to discuss this further
- Got faith in Forster
- Taking time to make the appointment, got a set criteria that they will be putting together based on the long term future of the club so no decision will be made until the criteria has been drawn up
- Criteria could include style of football played, what the fans want etc...

That's about the size of it. The Wednesday night conference call started at 10pm when the participants logged in and we closed down at around midnight. A smaller group (including myself) then 're-assembled' 8.15am Thursday morning when the timetable for the day was pieced together. AS and TB were contacted on their way to the training ground and asked to meet with AM and myself at a hotel near Richmond where we had the responsibility of conveying to them the decision of the board. AM and myself then went to the training ground to meet with Nicky Forster and the news was officially given to the players. In truth they were already aware that something was 'up' because AS and TB had not shown at Jersey Road. Whilst all of this was going on Peter Gilham was also at the training ground putting together a statement for the official website that reflected the decision but of course in this day of instant communications, twitter, facebook the news had broken in the media. Greg Dyke was leaving the UK on a pre-arranged trip early Thursday morning and whilst he was on the Wednesday night conference call he was not a party to the Thursday morning one. The press report that Greg spent three hours with Nicky Forster on Thursday was incorrect. He wasn't in the UK for most of Thursday.

Is Matin Allen not Everything that being a Brentford Supporter is about ?

End off !

Welcome back mad dog !

Thank you for that, much as I disliked Mr Scott, it's a bastard job to tell people that you don't want them. We all are human and have feelings. Not a job I'd of liked to do, even though that's what Ive wanted for months!

I do however feel GP had a cloud lifted today. It was the right thing to do.

Handy that Dyke was going away. Again.

Thanks for posting this. Gives some info into our club which other supporters don't get.

ps Nicky doesn't support Fulham I hope this criteria is top of the list

Do you think it may have been Ray Wilkins heading down to Southampton to join the coaching staff along with his brother? But of course he'd rather be top dog at Brentford than one of many on the Southampton management team. Just a lot of dodgy guess work but I can't work out who else it might have been.

For what it's worth, from chatting to people in the ground and from a few conversations I overheard, most people are against Allen coming back.

Thanks abee for the info on what when on it is very much appreiciated hope NB behaved himself today.......

You might be right. I just hope Andrew Mills knows the difference between a coach and a manager.
He was assistant to Dennis Wise at Millwall. They finished 10th both season the duo were there. I'm not convinced. Gary Johnson has a far better knowledge of our level of football.

Don't forget, Wilkins managed, he was the manager too, both Fulham and QPR, :yuck:

 

[abee]

He spent most of his time talking to Jose Mourinho......he's clearly got a taste for this boardroom lark 'cos I heard him say ' No favours Jose....send your cv in like everyone else'.

 

[scruff puppy pup]

Don't forget, Wilkins managed, he was the manager too, both Fulham and QPR, :yuck:

Yes, I know he managed.
And his management record proves he's a coach, not a manager. Like Ray Harford, Stewart Houston, Sammy Lee and others.

 

[Bridge Bee]

Haven't read many of the 24 pages, but did anyone spot an wannaBEE bees managers in the crowd today.

Disappointed that I didn't see any, although heard Dennis Wise, Ray Wilkins, Martin Allen and Gary Johnson banded about. No wonder it was a decent crowd.

 

[absenteebee]

important question... did anyone see STIMSON at GP today? sh*t... that bald head allegedly seen alongside Mills...

that South coast clue is a biggie...

good shout about wilkins and so'ton... possible.
how about... Wise going down to Brighton to help Poyet out?
Wise & Wilkins worked together before did they not? Are they going to want to do so here?

Back to Stimson... could be that he was going down to manage the dirty kebab shop on Selsey High Street.

 

[Roy_loak]

For what it's worth, from chatting to people in the ground and from a few conversations I overheard, most people are against Allen coming back.

for the sake of balance, same reasons as above, most people are PRAYING for allen to come back

 

[Alex Callow]

Lots of named mentioned by Lizzy on the fl league show.
