I would say there is a bit of a difference between appointing

a current player who has been at the club for a long time and is well acquainted with the very specific system that the team plays.

And appointing a youth team coach that retired 15 years ago, still hasn't completed the highest level coaching badges, and has no managerial experience, of a club that has no real stylistic identity.

      - Here... (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:09:40
        
        You're missing my point (NCFC) - King, May 4, 19:14:32
        
        Don't want Malky or Adams to get the top job yet (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:24:46
        
        and in defense of Cornelious, was he ever even fully fit for them? (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:19:26
        
        Caulker has been great for them. Odemwingie is starring for Stoke (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:11:16
  - I wouldn't necessarily be averse to Adams, but you've hit the nail on the head for me ther (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:02:35
    - I'm never so sure how much a manager influences signings (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:03:36
      - Yeah I guess. But you do hear a lot of "joined because of X" (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:06:21
        
        I suppose so (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:11
- Madness. Utter, utter madness. We get 2 years of parachute payments; we can't waste them (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 18:56:37
  - With respect BIGFELLER (NCFC) - shoddy, May 4, 19:03:02
    - Hehe - I like to see things from different perspectives :) But you have a point for sure (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:04:08
      - we all want the best. (n/m) (NCFC) - shoddy, May 4, 19:07:55
    - BigFlipFlopper (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 4, 19:04:00
  - experience means sweet fuck all as far as I can tell when it comes to management (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 18:59:19
    - vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - AllezLesJaunes, May 4, 19:08:58
    - yep, so fucking tired of the lame experiece argument (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:00:56
      - So the top clubs shouldn't appoint an experienced manager then. They should give it to any (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:03:12
        
        We are not a top club, we are not going to have choices (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:08:03
        
        also, Steve Clarke was for a season touted as a top young manager (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:10:53
        
        Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:28:41
        
        Now this I like - with one caveat. Rosler oversees marvellous football (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:10:20
        
        is it? (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:11:48
        
        Two seasons if they lose in the play-offs having already lost an FA Cup semi (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:12:50
        
        that is incredibly harsh (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:14:27
        
        Rosler also got good experience and proved himself in the lower leagues (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:11:32
        
        Yep, so would I, I think (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:13:30
        
        The point is, they are out there, the Board's job is to find (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:16:54
        
        Not many managers about have never failed anywhere (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:18:51
        
        Di Matteo (n/m) (NCFC) - stantheman, May 4, 19:07:17
        
        No other club in the top two divisions would dream of appointing? (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:05:44
        
        You think another club in the top 2 divisions would appoint Neil Adams as manager? Really? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:09:28
        
        no club would appoint Neil Adams, obviously (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:13:12
        
        In what way is he different to Garry Monk? (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:12:25
        
        I would say there is a bit of a difference between appointing (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:18:13
        
        Haha, why do we have no stylistic identity (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:20:48
        
        i see you're trying to score cheap points, instead of engaging in a proper discussion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:29:38
        
        He is a hughton in dick - as per lambo he has gone thank fuck deal with it (NCFC) - Men without hats, May 4, 20:49:11
        
        Yes, you are *always* right (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:33:12
        
        ok - just a difference of opinion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 4, 19:35:49
        
        Dick (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, May 4, 20:49:55

        They only appointed him because they were skint. And they failed. (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:11:25
        
        David Moyes? (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:04:32

        Very true. But this is a different sport nowadays. It'll never happen like that again for (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:07:35
        
        Vialli? Ruud Gullit? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:48
        
        Sherwood? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:08:58
        
        With examples like Sherwood or Giggs (the latter isn't getting the job anyway), you're (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:14:36
        
        Until yesterday's defeat (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:16:34
        
        He's hated by their fans. Rightly. He's a joke. "Tactics? What tactics?" (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:20:06
        
        Anyway, it's all irrelevant really (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:22:27
        
        too late (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:25:00
        
        Sherwood got given the gig, that's my point (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:16:10
        
        Ryan Giggs? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 4, 19:09:22
  - Experience didn't work too well for Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 18:58:07
    - He got Newcastle promoted (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, May 4, 19:00:25
      - And us relegated, your point? (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, May 4, 19:01:37
  - Meanwhile, Swansea are giving Garry Monk the job full time (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 18:57:37
    - And they're stupid to do so. Down they will go - albeit, their system there is so long (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 4, 19:00:20
      - They might do, yes (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:03:11
        
        Yep this is where I am. My bigger concern is I like to be able to trust (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:11:12

      - Divisive (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 19:09:15
        
        I think Malky would be a far more popular appointment than Neil (NCFC) - Huge Small, May 4, 19:25:35
    - Other than needing a win and not gambling in the last few minutes (n/m) (NCFC) - Ben, May 4, 18:57:51
      - VVMT he's not some tactical genius (NCFC) - Mickdundee, May 4, 19:01:26

- would be a disaster (n/m) (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, May 4, 18:52:00
  - But what makes you think he's the right man for the job (NCFC) - Mickdundee, May 4, 19:04:15
  - People who proclaim that this or that manager would be a disaster (NCFC) - duke of york, May 4, 18:56:54
    - No doy - people KNOW. they just KNOW. how could they not, when said with such certainty? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 4, 19:00:43
