Chris Coleman

[The Swan]

Anyone think our former manager Chris Coleman would do a good job as our new manager. He did a good job first time until he was dictated to by Keane. Without Keane he might do a good job.

Loved him as a player.....but he strikes me as not 'sophisticated' ( if that's the right word ) enough to manage a premier team. He still too much 'one of the lads'

[Nightwind15]

I liked Cookie and really think he would do well with a second run at it.  Besides he looks good in a suit, unlike Jol!

[Whitesideup]

Don't forget. Coleman bought a whole new midfield whilst persisting with Zak Knight and Zesh Reyman in defence.

[St Eve]

Unfortunately he has done nothing since leaving us

[twang]

I love Coleman but if Jol do get the sack can we, please, at least go for someone exciting and not the usual suspects.

Someone like Christian Streich, Thomas Tuchel or Marcelo Bielsa would sure as hell be something different.

[SmithyFFC]

If Jol goes anytime soon the club needs to move forwards, not backwards.

I loved the initial time under Coleman, but his final seasons and his managerial record since leaving us shows him to be medicore at best.

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Another player who is a bit of a legend at the club, but as peoplenhave said he has done nothing since he left.

Also I don't ever beleive a manager should return to the same club he has managed previously... Mourinho is a bit of an exception, but even he is finding it tough

[JBH]

No thanks he took Tigana's team and turned them into a 2nd rate outfit 

Legend as a Fulham player, Leg End as a Manager  :028:

[Skatzoffc]

No!
A great defender but his managerial skills defence wise are hopeless.
Odd, but true imo.

This :plus one:

[Airfix]

Some Fulham fans were discussing Jol on the train after the Cardiff game, bemoaning his abilities and stating that they'd rather have Coleman back.  Two Cardiff fans started wetting themselves with laughter and said that we could have him back any time we chose.

Says it all for me.

[Burt]

Mr JBH sums it up well.

[DiegoFulham]

Plus another benefit would be him bringing Miss Charlotte Jackson to the cottage!!

there again... im still fully in support of Jol!

The amount of money he had as opposed to the amount of money Tigana had was not a factor?

[filham]

I think Coleman is our longest serving premiership manager and ,remembering he operated on a shoe string budget, he served us well. But as others have said he has no good references and so really he is Championship material at the best.

[Chesh]

In a word - no..

His away performances were as bad as anybody's since, his man management just as questionable (I'll never forget when he rested Edwin VDS for a league cup game, (not dropped remember), and Crossley came in and had a half decent game, and Coleman said Crossley was staying in because he 'was the man in possession', despite VDS having done nothing wrong and being the better keeper - just probably wasn't one of his Welsh drinking buddies :008: ), and lastly I don't think he's actually that good at it (as his numerous attempts since have confirmed).

I like the bloke, and he always has a good word to say about us, but future club matchday ambassador - yes, manager -no.

Legend as a Fulham player, Leg End as a Manager  :028:

He'd been told to reduce the wage bill, and as such was required to sell off a number of players that decimted the squad of any quality.  The re-writing of history does undermine all his good work at Fulham
