What is everyone's thoughts on Philip Cocu as new manager for next season?
He would be my no.1 target.
Also would our board be looking at someone like that?
I'd say provided we are overhauling our set up, we should be an attractive project.

1967 stephen. our board is probably not looking for anyone. They believe they have the right managerial team in place and that is why we are in this state.

Unless Cocu wanders into the shower room I doubt he will be our next manager.

He had a terrible time at Derby.
But Cocu had a successful period in Holland as manager.
I think he would be at the top end of our budget.
And I would say yes Stephen.

Hahaha aye will have to lure him into the showers right enough ahah.
Its his job at PSV that gives me faith, they hadn't won a league since 2008 until he took over.
But the focus on bringing through youth players is something I'd love to see, even if it meant taking a season to bed in.
Yeah derby wasn't good, but i think the 5 years at PSV and his reputation before leaving them is impressive enough. A fresh approach would benefit the club in my opinion.

{Ed007's Note - 3 titles in 5 years in Holland is not to be sneezed at, Stephen. His choice of jobs since then has been questionable though as Fenerbahce were in a right mess on & off the pitch and Derby were involved in a will they or won't they drawn out takeover that still hasn't happened.
I definitely think Cocu with the right DOF and coaching staff would be a good appointment.}

Yeah its very impressive, especially because of ajax's dominance and PSV being in the doldrums before him.
Certainly fits the bill in my book.
I really hope that he is on the radar.
Notice he also did well with PSV in the cl.

dont think we will get a manager that's anywhere near the level of cocu, rafa, imo we will get one that's no better than lennon as the game up here just can't attract or afford them, unless DD pays them and i think DD has tired of the club and would rather play a round of golf than watch an old firm game and that been the case he will pass it on to the family to play with like an old toy, he would probably sell his share but its unlikly he would get what he needs for them, so we will continue as we have.
