With Top Players Fit..Do We Actually Need A Big Name?

to take charge?

In my opinion short term it increases the anticipation of fans, but over the long haul, many teams in this league would take players like Buzsacky, Vine and some others like a shot?

Good question.When Owen Coyle left St.Johnstone for Burnley,a lot of Burnley fans were underwhelmed.Now he is worshipped.We have a sound defence,a midfield that will feature our most creative players returning from injury,and hopefully a new proven goalscorer.

A team is nothing without a good manager, nothing.

[NewCrossHoop]

Not really sure what your argument is!

Are you suggesting that a team with some decent players in it is capable of getting promotion irrespective of the Manager?

[themodfather]

the mangaer should take the pressure off the team, thru the media etc...
help pick em up when struggling
deflect things i suppose so they can focus on the games ahead...
like fergie...benitez tried but was an amateur.

3 different managers last season couldn't do much with the current squad - without a decent new one AND two forwards neither will anyone else.

[Nodge70]

Yes - we need a decent manager.

Ipswich's season ticket sales and coporate revenue have already surpassed their last Premier League campaign and are near on 200% up from this time last season.

wasnt that the same story for us beginning of last season though as well?

we don't need a big name just a really good manager. Its THE most important position at the club and we're trying to do it on the cheap. i.e. some one who's out of a job or no-one else wants.

We should move heaven and earth to get Martinez from Swansea, offer him what he wants. Big wages, decent trnsfer kitty etc. let him build the club from the youth upwards. The guy is intelligent, articulate and would win the fans over

That would be a proper four year plan though

I think some fans believe that you just need to assemble a squad with a few decent players in it and promotion will follow

[Slydo]

I personally feel that we need not a big name but just a solid manager who can get the best out of the players and ultimatly be allowed the manager the team without too much interference.

Erm..........no............

pete regarding your signiture

why are you going on and on about a manager filling seats when the real problem is the prices?

i don't care whether jose mourinho is appointed manager the prices would still be too high for a mid table championship team

what about those who simply can't afford it

as for needing a big name, i think we would be much better off giving the job to a manager who has somthing to prove rather than a manager who is only here for the pay check. we need passion and pride back on the pitch.

[ollyhoops]

Well you need a manager with experience who has got a team promoted before IMHO as that experience is crucial.

Secondly, we lack quality in the side, all the top 7 teams in the championship have the best players in the league which we don't. The board badly needs to bring in some quality to give us the cutting edge if they are serious unless they are thinking of leaving it again until 2010/11.

But no, it need not be a big name, but someone with experience.
