Chris Coleman rumour - BigSmokeBlue - 10-03-2021
We’ve supposedly made an approach to Chris Coleman about becoming our new manager. Anyone else heard the same?

Yes and Bowyer was also mentioned.
I know which one I’d rather have, and it wouldn’t be Coleman.

I read he is a name in the frame.
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - dsmg - 10-03-2021
Are we happy about that???
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - Rocketman - 10-03-2021
Happy if it happens. Seems a genuinely likeable guy who's not afraid to tell it as it is. He's also Curtis's Godfather by all accounts.

Wouldn't want either of them to be honest.
Too many failures on Coleman's CV and Bowyer has done a lot better than someone with his history might be expected to, but he has still only managed one club with very mixed results.

Piers Morgan is available now! Could you imagine his team talks?
Seriously CC is experienced but hardly young & when was his last job?
Bowyer could be good.
What about Frank Lampard as Player Manager I'm sure he can still hack it at Div 1 level.

Lampard is 42, and hasn't played for 5 years. And was on 4m a year as a manager. Be realistic.

So you're saying stick him in goal?

Chris Coleman?? No better than the clown we already have. Do we only shop in Wales ffs.
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - exterminator - 10-03-2021
Chris Coleman is 50 as is his sidekick Kit Symons - I would prefer a younger coach in his 40's.
I was impressed with Plymouth style of football, however Ryan Lowe has,signed a long term contract with them which would mean serious compensation so that is,a no,no.
Need to look round the lower leagues and see what up and coming young coach is doing well, or have a look round and see what players have retired recently or are about to retire who have their coaching badges and would make a promising coach or manager.
MC and the powers that be need to get their act together and start looking about now, proactive is the word........
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - Trebilcock70 - 10-03-2021
Just when you get your hopes up about a new manager, names like Chris Coleman get mentioned
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - Hammie - 10-03-2021
Pompey have an appalling record under young first time managers.
WE need someone with enough experience to do the job and crucially play attacking football and enough charisma to build a rapport with the fans.
AB, Eagle, Harry, Bobby Campbell, Frank B.
All had some experience, some attitude/charisma and sent their teams out to attack, especially at home. They also bought decent players who were not frightened of our crowd.

I always felt Nigel Pearson was a good match, very Pompey. Got a good squad together, played attacking football, pretty successful; then he would hit someone.
Look what Ranieri did with HIS squad.
I know I am in a tiny minority, but he would liven EVERYTHING up.
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - BigSmokeBlue - 11-03-2021
If Coleman were given the job, one would assume Kit Symons be his no. 2? If so, surely that must be seen as a positive? A former player, who was born and brought up in our fair city. He is definitely someone who understands the club and what it means to wear the badge. Coleman's missus is also a Pompey girl, but I think she supports Man Utd? Bloody gorgeous though, so can forgive her.

I'd hope Coleman is as likely as my mum to get the job if Jackett moves on.
Apart from his teams playing dismal, mind numbing football, in club football he's got a win % of 32.2% and the only time he's hit 50% was during a 12 game spell at AEL in Greece. I've got family who are Fulham ST holders and their opinion is he was only ever in that job because of his friendship with Al-Fayed - how true that is I don't know but they follow the team home and away and have done for years.
As for Bowyer, this comment from the Charlton message board made me smile: "It’s the lack of direction or strategy/tactics that is concerning. What is our system or preferred style of play? From what I can tell it’s ‘Route 1”. Sound like anyone we know? And Bowyer signed Omar Bogle too, although in fairness he rumbled him pretty early on and got rid as fast as he could!

I'd have gone along with that. But he's at Bristol now, so too late for that one.
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - bluetagagain - 11-03-2021
Neil Warnock,charismatic, successful, likes Pompey

RE: Chris Coleman rumour - Jizbag - 11-03-2021
Coleman...no thanks. Again that's more boring old fashioned thinking from the club if that's true. We need some dynamism and fresh ideas. It worries me that we're going to go down the same old track which has brought no success. Safe pair of hands.....guaranteed play off spot!
RE: Chris Coleman rumour - DeepBlue - 11-03-2021
Why ha ha for Bowyer ?? Sounds quite a likely one to me, and apparently mentioned as a possibility on Talksport today.
Personally I think we could do better, but we could also do a hell of a lot worse.

Deep, take a look at comments on Charlton's twitter account or their Into the Valley messageboard - their supporters' views on Bowyer seem to be incredibly similar to our opinions of Jackett. Route 1, players out of position, no plan b, etc.
We've suffered enough with that over the last four years seasons, do we really want to run that risk again? Plus, personally, I don't want to see some racist, bullying thug in charge at Pompey.

Need to look round the lower leagues and see what up and coming young coach is doing well, or have a look round and see what players have retired recently or are about to retire who have their coaching badges and would make a promising coach or manager.
Just thinking again about first time managers.
The only one I ever remember making good go of it at Pompey was actually Steve Claridge. Took on a badly organised team who were easy to beat. Put the players in their favoured position and made us tough to beat and a half decent team. Sham he was not given more time to build a side of his own.

Pompey have only ever been successful under an experienced manager. We have tried the upcoming young manager umpteen times and it always ends in tears. If we are to get out of this league, appointing an experienced manager is a must in my opinion. If he has got teams promoted out of this wretched league and ges his teams to play good, expansive, exciting football, then great...but highly unlikely!
