John Collins

[Dutch Toffee]

Must have slipped through my attention, but watching Belgian footy highlights on the telly last night, I noticed ex- Evertonian John Collins has been appointed as the new manager of Charleroi. Haven't read anything about his appointment, so was surprised to see him in charge yesterday.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Good for him. I've long hoped that British coaches would try their luck abroad. Good to see.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Just hope he doesn't do a Roy Hodgson, great in Switzerland but can't hack it in the PL

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Fulham are 8th this season so I'd say Hodgson has them punching above their weight. He also did well at Inter don't forget. An under-rated coach for me.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Yeah true, forgot he managed Inter, was thinking more about the aborted attempt in the PL with Blackburn last time out

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

strange that it hasn't been on the news? Thats probably because he's Scottish and not English

Good call, Bruce. A club do a lot worse than have him as manager. The man has a wealth of experience and Fulham were lucky to get him. He seems quite a nice chap as well.
