It seems that a lot of people are willing to give Sherwood a chance, surely Mackay would be a step up from him, considering he has bags of experience in comparison. Couldn't see Levy going for him though
 
Think the comparisons between Sherwood and Mackay are unfair - on the Cardiff manager. To say they are the same in terms of lack of experience, is preposterous. Mackay has half a season at prem level and 3 or so seasons at championship not to mention assistant roles prior to that.

Whilst I agree with the sentiments of those who feel he's not 'big' enough for us, the fact is there is lack of available alternatives.

De boer is unproven in the prem and appears not interested. Klinsmann, Hiddink & Capello (aside from any other reasoning) are out due to WC commitments.

Pochettino and Laudrup are just asunproven and have question marks over their own qualities.

Therefore, by process of elimination I wouldn't be against Malky. He strikes me of having tr balance of man motivator and tactician. He's had experience dominating teams when Cardiff went up. And he seems a nice bloke so ought to buy a few weeks with the media.
 
No idea. I'm so fed up of the manager merry-go-round. It's Levy and Lewis' fucking problem. They keep sacking managers so it's their mess to sort out. They obviously think that 5th, 5th, Cup, blip, 4th, 5th, 4th, 5th is rubbish for a club used to being CL and EPL winning regulars... (nahhhhht). Tossers. I wouldn't have sacked Jol, Redknapp or AVB.
 
We can surely do better than Malky Mackay, but if we can't lure a top manager until the summer he could be a better option than Sherwood; at the moment it doesn't look like there are too many experienced managers that we could hire for the job so i guess he'd be better than nothing.
 
I dont honestly know much of him.

I couldnt tell you what style his teams play with, which is my biggest reservation.

It also seems that style must be one of the biggest factors with our new manager, given the outcry against AVBs "turgid/boring/make my eyes bleed" brand of football.
The point I have had to make in about 8 threads in the last week!!

Capello got about 40 votes in the new manager thread - madness!!! He's renowned for his successful but boring football!

In regards to Mackay, no. Has nowhere near enough experience, given we should be going for someone in a different mould to AVB as Levy clearly feels he was a mistake.

He has been given good press this season as he has managed to beat some top sides, but in general they have not done well, and are now only 4 points above the relegation zone having played a game more.

His brand of football is not pretty. I seem to recall a large % of their goals coming from set pieces. Maybe he could join our coaching team instead!? :avblol::walkercry:
 
He said he wouldnt be an assistant to the manager, wasnt clear if he would be prepared to go back to the day job or if its "manager or bust"
Would be an odd decision if he didn't take his old job back, but then again his recent statements seem to suggest he has a bit of an ego and feels he is ready for more than youth management?
 
Assuming he does get the boot that is.

He won the Championship which proves he knows how to win, he seems like a nice guy and seems to be handling working under a complete moron quite well, which could be useful... :levyeyes:

He also has Premier League experience, I'm sure would love the opportunity and we could do with his man managing skills.
 
It would appear he doesn't like Chairmen who interfere in the running of the club ...

Does he have a DOF to answer to as well ...

He'd probably be a good enough choice, but he'll be getting his compo in a couple of years max, if he signs on the line ...
 
watching the liverpool game and getting angry at our fans. Most of us didn't give AVB a chance. The fat guy who sits in front of me sums it up; I have never him chant once and he just shouts all game. Leaves at 80 mins as well. Rodgers was fully supported last season by liverpool fans. There was none of this pathetic moaning when anything goes wrong. I agree with Flav the players are too thick to understand anything apart from 'run about a bit'. So do our fans as well. SOrry about the rant but I disillusioned right now... and not about how fucking well the team is doing in the league:avbshock:

EDIT; My point in relation to Malky is our fans would not give him a chance.
