He's not my first choice mind, but I wouldn't mind betting he'd do a better job than the current incumbent.Last edited by hal9thou; 30-10-2016, 10:38 AM.

Right now both Marco Silva and AVB are available. That is the calibre of manager we should be talking to if we're serious about moving forward.

Originally posted by hal9thou View PostHe has even less managerial experience than JFH. Plus you have to earn your stripes to get the respect of the players.
Lots of people talk a good a game, but it just isn't the same thing.
Will just be another manager for our managers training academy after Ramsey & Piggybank

"Murphy started out as a trainee at Crewe Alexandra.Murphy has always praised the role of Crewe manager Dario Gradi in his footballing education, considering him as his mentor:
He took me from boy to man. He taught me about tactics, where to stand, how to play the right way and he knocked some discipline into me. I was a bit precocious, a bit silly as a kid and he straightened me out.
Gradi always rated the footballing brain of Murphy, and used to send him on scouting missions even as a trainee."
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_...er,_born_1977)
Here's the bottom line. No matter who we get as a manager, there are always 23 other teams vying with us to get promoted. And only three will do that. Even the apparently greatest managers can get it wrong, will lose matches, even get relegated. And rookies can sometimes succeed where others failed. The truth is, no one knows what works all the time, only some of the time. There are no guarantees.
So a change of manager can sometimes be worse than keeping the one you've got. There's a lot to say about stability, and even someone as loathed (as he is on here) as JFH can change and evolve and learn. Indeed, we've seen him implement things people have asked for on here: dropping Karl Henry, for example. Which I always thought was inevitable once JFH was satisfied Ariel was ready. People asked for Washington to be given a chance. He's been given a chance and is now a first team regular. Playing two up front, changing the system, he's done all of this. It still doesn't guarantee wins and he's still got a fairly limited (in terms of ability) squad at his disposal. We still don't know, for a fact, that JFH won't come good in time. All this sound and fury obscures the subtle changes and tweaks that are being made.
It's true that JFH is still learning his trade. But I would argue that he is learning. When we see what we believe to be his mistakes, there are often reasons behind the scenes that we don't know about - why one player features not another - and we are often far too hasty to judge. Such is the nature of football. I'd still like to give JFH time, because I think he has the potential to become a good manager. but I also concede that many people are fed up, and that they don't agree with me. They don't think JFH is evolving, they think he's static. Fair enough. At the end of the day, it's all about opinions.
Sacking JFH may work, or it may upset things even further. Instability can lead to a downward spiral, a tailspin that we've seen other clubs have not recovered from. So be careful what you wish for.
