The ❌Kim Hellberg❌ Non-Managerial Thread

[Swans Jack]

What happens if Hellberg does a u turn and decides to come to us? You'll have to change the thread heading for the 4th time

The thing with Hellberg is if he hits the ground running at Boro some Prem team will come in and do a Wolves and if he’s shit then he’s shit. Anybody that doesn’t want to be associated with the Swans can take a long run off a short pier as my hero growing up would say the one and only Paul Hogan.

Only names that interest me currently are Tomasson and Still. No idea if we're interested in either, but Tomasson did a great job at Blackburn, and I refuse to write Still off because he failed at the shambles of Southampton.

Right let’s explain things, we’ve had one failed experiment the club are not going to go down that route again, every appointment is a risk but clever people try to minimise that risk, fingers burned and all that.

Sheehan wasn't supposed to be an experiment. He was the safe pair of hands in their eyes.

Helberg was the experiment and so is this Matos.

Safer would be minute by minute

Well Monk turned out to be crap.

Toshack and Martinez was a long time ago now. Also, we weren't in the second tier at that point either.

Genuine question, how many totally inexperienced managers have come into the Championship and been a success?

To play devils advocate here alot of managers have done very well with no managerial "experience" Pep, Arteta, McKenna, Carrick, Rosenoir, Chris Davies just to name a few off the top of my head. Ofcourse there's loads which of gone the other way.

You don't have to be a number one to be "experienced" in management. Sometimes being in the right environment and learning from a variety of managers as a number 2 over a decent amount of time is very good experience in itself.
