New EDS Boss?

Any official word from the club yet? And if not, any ITK aware of when we should expect something?
 
Call me insane but what about Gary Monk (if he gets sacked). He went straight into management from playing and did a decent job. You will not find a better qualified manager of his age given his experience in the premier league. Swansea massively overachieved with him as manager!

He would get offers from other clubs even prem clubs but it would be a wise move for him. Give him some time to develop as a manager and coach.
 
Simon Davies will most likely be in charge of the EDS on Wednesday I'd guess but I'd not read into that, as that is his role as assistant.

You're insane. It'd be a terrible move for him.
 
Why so 2sips, having never had a break it would give him the chance to work with a much bigger team and learn a few things along the way.

Going from being a premier league manager to managing the u21s just like that - many would see it as a public admission that he's simply not up to it, and he'd know that too. Perception is everything in football and I can't imagine he'd ever step out of the game like that, which is what its effectively doing.

The Boss: The Many Sides of Alex Ferguson - Page 303


Winger Ben Thornley was another local boy who'd been training with Manchester City only to be lured away by Fergie's personal touch. 'I think I must have been one of the very few privileged lads who had Alex Ferguson round here with Brian Kidd to the house.. Simon Davies, too, was expected - and expecting - to sign for Manchester City on his fourteenth birthday. At the last ... 'Alex Ferguson and the youth-development officer, Joe Brown, came to my house the following night and signed me up ... I think my ...
 
Geniuine question, is this such a bad appointment? I really have no idea what he is like as a coach, leader of other coaches or football philosophy etc. Anyone got any creditable opinions or knowledge? I'm guessing that the CFA hierarchy ( Txiki ) know what there doing and realise he must have a good reputation or made a good impression.
 
Impossible to say, as you have no way of knowing how much input he had as Vieira's assistant. No harm in giving him until the end of the season to show if he's any better or just more of the same without the aura of being a world class player. Vieira didn't strike me as someone who would really put anyone elses opinion before his own, so I'd be surprised if Davies had much of a say towards the more baffling choice made.
 
The worry is we will see more of the same but he obviously commands excellent respect so he deserves to be given the chance to make his own way.Best of luck to him,hes in a very enviable job given the existing and emerging talent at his disposal
