Hawk89 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 6 minutes ago, Roxanne's man said: My thoughts exactly. Think there's a higher chance of Bannan getting the job as player coach and he's the same age as me He'll need an assistant being under the age of 52. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Maybe the new coach will bring in Bullen as an assistant, which will be kinda fitting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was assistant before but he left because he’d been in every position (steady) at the club including caretaker but was never offered the gig. Unless the owner is looking for a cheap appointment and hopes that bringing in a former captain can galvanise the team, put a bit of fight in to them, a manager that will have a bit of good grace to fail initially, I don’t see it happening. Going there would be a big gamble for Bullen as well. A disaster could burn his bridges at the club. He’s approaching the midway point in his managerial career and maybe holding out until they get relegated, the new manager gets binned and he takes over next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He’s definitely in the discussion down there. A lot of their fans are convinced he’ll get it as it’ll be the cheap appointment and a person who is willing to work for their owner who is very challenging. Neil Warnock is also been heavily linked but some of their fans are put off with him being an ex Sheffield United manager and comments he’s previously made about Wednesday. FWIW I don’t think Bullen will get it but for an outsider looking in taking a side from 8th place to 2nd place will be seen as a success so fingers crossed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bullen can salvage this season and lift us in to the running for the play-offs, it would put him in a stronger position to get the job in the summer. Wednesday seem to change their manager a lot so a relegation would mean the job would be free in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Collating the gossip they think someone is already lined up, Bullen's name seems to be prominent alongside Carlos something. Simon Jordan spoke to Warnock and says its unlikely, he would want the rangers job more. Owner seems a bit bonkers, the petty type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Apparently talks with Bullen are in the final stages.. Heard this from someone who’s been spot on recently with rumours (Pendlebury boosting being the most recent) Edited October 5, 2023 by ComradeDiego 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm fully onboard this is a done deal and will be announced tomorrow with McGeady in the dugout for Saturday (and folk said that would never happen) Must say, this is the most excitement I've had this season from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen could be away but it means McGeady is in charge for Saturday. ETA: That wasn’t even the Hasenhüttl gif I was looking for, it was the one where he celebrates then immediately signals to calm down but file was too large.

No_Problemo Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 It’s still not happening, but if he leaves I still think it would be White as opposed to McGeady in charge. Though, I would hope McGeady was part of that management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
