Ruben Selles it is

[paddy20]

What do we think? No great pedigree

[Brogue]

might have to start a selles out thread

[Clyde1998]

I'd rather we got Ian in, tbh.

[Millsy]

What's not to like about an unknown with very little experience and 11% win ratio?

I literally can't think of anyone who would be worse unless there's someone out there with a lower win ratio?

Someone totally unheard of, or even Hunt, would be better surely.

If this happens I hope HNA braces itself for a massive gloat from me, for ripping the piss out of all the speculation saying this sort of thing is exactly what would happen. The only silver lining to this horrible could, if true.

[Orion1871]

We can call him Uselles if and when it most likely goes tits up, so I'm all for it.

that's a no then?

[Sutekh]

Rather have Peter Sellers.

[Dennis the Butler]

I read somewhere that Selles is to be Head Coach, not Manager as such, but let's just be thankful we have someone in FFS !

[leon]

is this confimred?

Yeah that was some weird rambling by stranded on the new manager thread in the rumours and gossip page. A refuge disposal technician is still a bin man ffs

[Hound]

Nope but sounds like it’s happening

It’s not who id pick but at least things are happening. Literally know nothing about him, but if this is genuinely Bowen’s choice then fine

If Bowen flounces in the next few weeks then I’ll start to worry mind you

Wants a project - works a high press - a man manager - swears by fitness.

What's not to like, oh yeah its not Wilder.

But - we are craving a manager, he wants to manage this current shambles, we need to get behind him.

You are absolutely right of course, and the proof will be in the pudding etc. etc., but having had this sort of thing before only for it to be a total disaster he's got an uphill battle from the off both on and off the field. Very good luck to him and hope his man management gets the remaining player up for it and believing the club can achieve some success at last.

[Snowflake Royal]

We're getting to the point that literally anyone is needed in the door and better than no one.

I've made no effort to find anything about the chap yet because it was all rumours. If PTR's description is accurate there are some potential positives to draw. Even if lots of negatives.

Certainly a come down from Wilder. And Jones, Cowley, Hunt's mate etc.

Besides. If he's shit it's not like he'll make it to Xmas.

If he hadn't been at Saints he'd be a coach we'd never heard of, with tinpot European experience. Like Gomes and Pauno. But he's been at Southampton and we all saw how far out of his depth he was.

This doesn't feel like Bowen's had anything to do with it.

Tbf he had a useless team who were bottom of the Prem. It’s a different challenge here

Agreed. We're not in the Prem.

[windermereROYAL]

And we need a whole new thread for this, how the oxf*rd old are you?

[Hound]

Scraping around for info - seems to have been an assistant a lot - looks like 400+ games as an assistant manager

Plays 4-2-3-1

That’s about as much as I can find of any interest

Garbage appointment. I'm there to be proven wrong but I doubt he will prove me wrong.

The club just doesn't learn. This is the most unpopular manager appointment I can remember for so long.
