The new manager thread

[Guest Mahonio]

Ian Holloway anyone? No..I'm not being serious! Hope Caley can sort a replacement out fairly quickly. it's been three weeks without one at Palace, and some (just some) of the natives are going 'stir crazy' with the speculation! Too late for me..... I went crazy years ago...which is why supporting ICT as well, is a blessed relief

It doesn't help when the 2 leading contenders get taken by other clubs, Aitor Karanka to Middlesbrough and Rene Meulensteen to Fulham so who does that leave for Palace, Alex McLeish and Dan Petrescu?

I think we should look into this as a replacement for Maurice Malpas.......in the Christmas Quiz - What a quality night that would be!

Northern Ireland assistant Billy McKinally added to list of possibilities, thoughts?

Clearly a Di Canio / Barry Ferguson management combo are the dream team we need.

[Council Juice]

Neil Warnock said he'd be up for the job, knowing the budget would be tiny and he wouldn't be paid much, primarily because he wanted to fish.

[Renegade]

I see the odds are shortening on Derek Adams and he's now at 6-1!

[gyles]

I'll eat my scarf if Derek Adams gets the job.

I can't believe he is being considered.

[Yngwie]

Like it or not, he ticks a lot of the boxes.

 

- Up to date experience of the league we are in

- Used to working with a limited budget

- Relatively successful, punched above weight

- Salary affordable

- Geography not a problem

 

Although going against him:

- his personality

- the fans would hate him

- the players would hate him

- he's Derek Adams

Also another thing that would be good about him is that if he was to take our job then he could take his old man with him aswell who I think finds most of the players for Ross County. Would be a good replacement for Steve Marsella.

No just No!

Did someone really say D***k A***s ?

 

[fraser]

Craig Levein has ruled himself out according to the P&J. 

[ictchris]

Derek Adams joining would be like that weird time when Harry Redknapp went from Portsmouth to Southampton and then back again.

[TopSix]

Derek Adams is a good tactician - much better than Butcher. And, historically, we tend to go for up-and-coming managers. I'd be happy if he's appointed as manager. Paddy power quoting 6/1...

I would definitely take him too, especially with George Adams in tow, now that we've lost Marsella. He's always come across as a bitter whinger and his teams' football hasn't always been that pretty to watch, but he knows the Highlands well, is used to working on a tight budget and I think he did pretty well in the transfer window last season. It's no surprise they've struggled a bit this season having lost arguably four of their best players over summer, but I reckon he could do a decent job with our squad.

 

Don't think there's any chance of getting him, btw, even if the board was so-minded.   

[fraser]

This forum has gone nuts...

[TopSix]

Regardless that he manages Ross County, Adams is one of the brightest up and coming managerial prospects in Scotland. I'd like to see him at ICTFC. How long does he have on his contract over there?

[AlexJones]

I would be delighted with Adams but can't see him making such an invidious move. He's not that kind of guy.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

This is really good news:

 

Ross County manager Derek Adams has extended his contract with the Dingwall club until 2016

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22660639

 

No more mention of him thanks.

[PaderbornCaley]

In that case we need to use all the compensation money to lure Adams.

Adams hates Terry Butcher.

I‘m starting to like Adams.

[KingBeastie]

Adams?!
No.  Just no.

Evidence please ? , on what basis do you make such a statement ?

 

Sour grapes / total bollocks are words that spring to mind

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Butcher was an inspiration, leader, mouthpiece and character but not a tactician. I would only welcome Adams in order to wind the backstabber up - unless Diego is free.

[robbylad]

Pity Adams didn't stay at Hibs. 

[AJS]

Double Whammy if we get Deek, he hates Butcher and it would shut the faces of so many bitter members of OTB.
