He is assistant manager at one of the top five biggest clubs in the world so he has some serious pedigree. Obviously it’s always impossible to know how an assistant will get on being the main man though.

Who do we want as our new Manager
- Thread starter tonycrowuk
- Start date
I don’t think it’s a necessity to have managed / lead coached in the Championship but if not they should have successfully managed / lead coached for a L1 or L2 club .
With McKenna , he was clearly a good coach but he had a free hit for the first half season in L1 to cut his teeth - he already had a decent side ( Morsy and Chaplin and others were already there ) plus he had bags of money to strengthen.
It’s possible that someone like Barry could make the jump as he’s coached at a high level but it’s a risk .
The risk with LR is whether he can work on a restricted budget . However he would be a strong candidate .
Skubala is the obvious candidate from L1 but that won’t be easy - Lincoln aren’t as big as us obviously but they have just secured their own 7 figure investment from America . There are other decent coaches in L1 but it may be a bit early for them .
We have to accept that whoever is appointed, if they do well will be a target for bigger clubs .

Didn’t Paul Clement have a similiar background before he got into management?
Barry is very active and vocal alongside Tuchel tonight in the Bernabeu. The fact that Bayern paid Chelsea 1 million to secure him from Chelsea must say something about his credentials. He is rated as the best set piece coach in the game by many. That's something we desperately need to improve. He very much had the respect of some of the finest players in the game as their coach. If that's unimpressive to you so be it.
A good comparison in many ways. It goes to show every appointment is a risk, there are no guarantees.
Yes very similar and being a manager doesn’t seem to have worked out for him. It’s extremely difficult to know how assistant managers will do when stepping up so it’s clearly a risk.
Fair enough, just thought you might have known what you were talking about but clearly not.
FYI they were very attacking and scored three excellent goals.
Anyway we moved on.
Never mind Paul Tisdale, Darren Ferguson could be available tomorrow.
Well I like the idea of Liam but still sticking with my first two ever shout, Shaun Maloney or Des Buckingham if Oxford fail to win play offs.
I don't think the budget will be 'that' restricted tbh. We'll have more money to play with
That's because you only watch Argyle.😂
Very occasionally I have watched my local team - Havant & Waterlooville Hawks. They have been terrible this season.
