A great coach behind him

[Smudge]

I personally do not know a successful Manager BAR ONE,have known plenty who have won nothing,who's names always appear,or apply for Positions.At this level Mick Sullivan would be the only person that comes to mind,so I would say a Decent Coach was imperative,and a lot of hard work.Plus a bit of luck.But success comes in different forms,John Fowler has done well at Croydon this year,starting with No Players and most importantly NO BUDGET,SO THAT IS SUCCESS?

As Smudge has alluded to in the last line of his response, success is relative to the context in which its being measured and the criteria need to be stated.

 

Bearing that in mind, perhaps the criteria / qualities could be llisted under essential and desirable?

[johnnojudo]

depends what you regard as SUCCESSFUL!

 

Some clubs regard successful as retaining their league status year after year.

A bottomless pit of money ??

Hi guys... first post! woop!

 

err i would say respect for his players, organisation, professionalism and i do believe a great coach is needed as well.

 

if the players respect the coaching staff and the management staff then the players will want to play and 'die' for their club

[Smudge]

Welcome vivajosh,first of many posts I hope.

Only one Smudge? I'm shocked !!! A forgotten man already !!!!!

[Mr Fixit]

Your Right Johnno depends on aspiration of club relative to its resources.

 

A good manager reaches his targets within the resources of the Club

TO me a good spirit is a key factor

 

A Club with a lot of money may measure on success but others have other criteria

[Smudge]

A minor memory loss Spy apologies,remind me of What League you won? Many Managers have won nothing,and still get jobs on the Merry Go Round that is Non League Management,but good spielers they must be,tell the Club what they want to hear,not what might occur.A B.A. IN bullsh*t,seems to get most over the threshold.That could be your biggest downfall to Honest.

Your absolutely right smudge, became the most succesful manager in wars 100+ years, winning surrey junior cup and then then the ccl reserve league treble when there were 2 divisions and the standard was good, then stepped up to the ones the following season and won ccl 1 + the fair play league and finished 4th the following year, both sully and tony hurrell watched us beat horley and both were convinced we would have finished top 6 in the prem.

Deep pockets and a large phone book!

[Smudge]

[johnnojudo]

[Smudge]

Card Shark eh Johnno,on them long coach trips.Nice guy can't even Find the Lady.

To realise that no matter what the result is it is his fault ... whether it be good bad or indifferent.
