Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[AussieToffee11]

The more I think about it, throwing the keys to Duncan for the Aston Villa game is a no-brainer.

The fans and players need to come together, Ferguson will unite both groups.

Secondly, with the international break coming after the Villa game, we have the time to be slightly more methodical in who we go an get.

With that happening, hopefully the new manager comes in with the Club and fans in a slightly better place and has some clean air to train their new system in the week leading up to the Brentford Cup game.

Will he tho? These players know him as a, seemingly, nutless assistant whos had a hand in multiple failed managerial experiments. He might be part of the reason, who knows. I think letting managers bring in their own assistants is a lot smarter than forcing Dunc on them.

Look at the poll again

Oops. Still, Potter ain't coming and so Martinez would be next in line on the poll.

that's my concern too. happy for him to be an interim boss, but he's not a long term solution.

Which is exactly what I said initially. Duncan will unite the Club, which is needed, for the Villa game, and it gives the Club an extra 7-10 days to take their time with the permanent appointment.

Can we please just give the job to Dunc until the end of the season and then if he does a good job give it to him permanently.

The last time Dunc had the job the signs were not great. It was basically effort and that's about it. Half a season of that might not go well.

 

[Canuck Darryl]

Whoever becomes interim/permanent manager will be viewed as a good/terrible choice at the end of the season.
If we are still in the top flight (which I truly believe will be the case), the board will be seen to have been wise in their choice.
If the the worst occurs, their choice fails completely, and we continue the downward slide, right into the championship, then the manager of the day, the chairman, the owner and the players better run for cover, because the the fans reaction is going to shake the club to its foundations.

Apparently about to be sacked

Well there's a ringing endorsement

Appointing Mourinho would be totally bonkers. Seems he’s not interested though.

If Potter won't come (and who could blame him?), I'd go for Thomas Frank or Lucien Favre. We need a manager who has a track record of overachievement with the squad he has. Frank has done wonders with Brentford, and 5 of Favre's 6 clubs had their best ever season (or best season in decades) under his management.

….and if he doesn’t do a good job we get relegated. Some choice.

And the sixth one?

Just Kidding...

Absolutely correct, but if he decides that Keane, Holgate, Coleman, Iwobi, Rondon, Delph, Tosun, Davies will be forever relegated to the bench, then maybe he has the right idea to pull this club back from the brink.
