Kim Hellberg - New Manager?

[magicdaps10]

This is right where I'm at as well.

Hellberg could very well be a terrific manager, but for me it seems a bit of a risk.

Personally, the candidates who I'd prefer but would likely have to convince:

Raphel Wicky
Bruno Lage
Brendan Rodgers (doubt we could afford)

I mentioned Wicky back when Williams went, I am very surprised he hasn't got a job although he didn't go to WBA because I e if his backroom staff not getting a WP.
He done well in Switzerland but struggled in his stint in the USA.

Rodgers would be the perfect choice , he would stabilise us at the very least this season but financially he would push us in every department.
The talk about Hellberg seems to be high at the moment but it's not as cut and dry as it seems with certain people

Wicky I believe turned down W Brom because his backroom staff couldn’t get Visa

Beat me to it

Goalkeeping coach if my memory serves me well.

Feck me, you dont half spout some tripe.

Thanks for your input. You are one of the most pointless and boring posters in the history of the internet, but your opinion is noted.

It seems to me that Hellberg was a front runner for the job in the Summer but Sheehan did such a decent job after Williams, that it was very difficult NOT to appoint him. Morally it was the fair thing to do.

So where we are now is the Hellberg summer appointment which otherwise would have happened ...and thus we start afresh after the International break with hopefully not too much damage done league position wise ..and hopefully some new tactics and shape to entertain and to bring out the best in the players we have.

Yeah, my memory exactly. Funny, we seem to have a pretty great GK coach already. Might be worth exploring?

Also, as it pertains to the MLS, I wouldn't hold it against him. It's a very weird league that can't really be compared to anything else.

Bruno Lage was part of Carlos Carvalhal's backroom staff, so if he enjoyed his time here it might be an option.

Brendan would just be ideal, so it is clearly not going to happen.

Pathetic response, sums you up.

I get what you're saying JA - being on top of the kind of stats that actually win you football matches, I'm totally on board with.

But you know as well as I do that Martin and Williams were selected largely on the basis of their possession and pass accuracy stats - which in most cases is con man football, unless you're Pep Guardiola.

As always, I'll judge the new coach on results and performances. But I don't think anyone could blame me for being 'once bitten twice shy', given our recent track record for appointments.

Given your defence of Sheehan recently thats a low bar you have set

My point of view is as valid as yours you pathetic old fool. You started this nonsense exchange but I’ll keep it up if you want to keep going.

Brendan will be hoping for a move to Saudi Arabia imo. Suits him right down to the ground

Well said he’s horrible,always picking on me.

Who has said he wasn’t up to it? The only reason we didn’t bring him in the Summer is because we already had a successful coach in charge so why change it?

If we had the top scorer in the league last season would we sell him and bring in the top scorer in Sweden? Absolutely not.
Sheehan was on paper the top performing coach last year. We would have been mad to take the risk and change that

No we wouldn’t have as has been proven.

This opinion continues to baffle me. He was a coach that was given a the manager job on a temp basis. There was no track record of actual ‘management’ it was a punt based on a run of results nothing else behind it.

Alan Tate did a great job filling in as a goalkeeper I wouldn’t then make him stand in keeper.

 

[Dillwyn the Dog]

It’s a bit weird to me that Sheehan apparently couldn’t see that we were creating nothing and all the stats pointed to us being the worst attacking side in the league.

Weird because Worth is a stats maniac and surely his endless analyses would have pointed this out from very early in the season.

Could it be that worth actually loaded the gun for the board to fire?

JUST IN: Hammarby are already speaking to Fredrik Holmberg and Kalle Karlsson in case Kim Hellberg vacates his position as the club's head coach. Kim is already in England discussing personal with Swansea City as the club is willing to make him their new head coach.

We are not in England sure he is not in Norwich or Southampton

Not sure what the issue is with some posters about Hellberg? He seems on paper an exciting manager who has a lot more experience than what we have had in years and seems to be the opposite of Sheehan. One thing for sure, if he gets appointed, I can't see fans being bored of slow build up football. His stats for being an attacking football team is promising. Let's gamble, I rather do this than league one managers from last few years or play it safe with a championship manager.

Pretty sure Hammarby scored more goals than anyone, that'll make a refreshing change too.
