Alan Tate

[Blackpooljack]

No idea about what badges he's earned or the level of imput he had at Forest but he always said he wanted to manage the Swans someday. Just thinking aloud

If Cooper gets another job quickly, I'd expect Tate to go with him.

Talk is Cooper getting the Palace job at the end of the season. Wouldn't mind having Tatey in until then.

 

[Chief]

I really don't envisage him as a manager. Coach yes, top job, nope.

I'd be inclined to agree with you. But if it's a toss up between him and Sheehan until May then give me Tate every day of the week.

It’s a big no from me hasn’t got the temperament or ability as a manager

Not sure where you'd make this assumption from? You never know until someone makes the step up.

Regardless, if we don't get him in as manager we should be doing what we can to get him in as our club appointed person on the coaching staff - either replacing Kris O Leary or as assistant instead of Sheehan. He only left in the first place because Martin didn't like that someone on his coaching staff going against him and telling him the truth. Sounds like the exact sort of person Duff would have benefitted from, and the exact sort of person we need in the building moving forwards. Not another nodding dog yes man who let's us sleepwalk into just the situation we are in now

Don't you think that maybe to employ Alan as our manager in the predicament we are in is too much of a gamble, we are staring down the barrel of league one and you want Tate to come in! And I love tatey but it's a no from me at this point. We need a proven quality manager.
