If you were appointed manager tonight

[Bluebonic]

Five at the back, and strict instruction to not give the ball to anybody with a different coloured shirt, no matter how much the nasty ball frightens them. Then even stricter instruction's that should we go a goal up, our sole purpose is to break up their play. Win it, web it up the pitch and out of play, regroup and win it again. All ’forwards come off in a single mass substitution to be replaced by Keggers, Mina, Holgate, anyone who is qualified to hoof a ball out of play.
I would also tell them that if they disobeyed the phantom headlocker will creep out their bedroom closet and strangle them.

After that, some warm milk, then naptime before the big kick off.

I'd call a press conference and resign immediately, and say it's because Bill Kenwright is a lying blert.

Purchase every bed sheet available within a fifty mile radius.

If Frank got the bullet and you were immediately installed as the new manager , what would you do ? Limited , clearly very limited funds so who do you try and bring in ? How do you try , your best to put a sticking plaster over the rift until seasons end both on and off the field and how do you line up at the weekend ?

I'd bring the Goodison supper bar in to take over the kiosks.

Salt and pepper chips for all!

 

[ChoccieStarfish]

Burn the place to the ground so it can’t hurt me anymore

 

[lancs blue]

Give bill a wedgie and denise a bunch of flowers followed by a hug - I appreciate she likes hugs

Bring back Sammy Lee as assistant.
Unsworth back to under 23’s.
Make Dwight McNeill captain.
Delph back on a free (bumper contract)
Find out what actually happened with gylfi
Resign

 

[random]

PM everyone on GOT who said they could do better, get them registered with the FA and see if its true

Edit - and obv I am a player manager

 

[brieverton]

I'd have a double scotch, and then another, and then sleep on my ideas.

 

[ClausThomsen]

Call a press conference
Blame the fans
High-Five Bill in front of the cameras.

 

[Street end man]

I'd bring Hibbo in as my backroom staff to sort out the wing back crisis. Bainsey and that Cole fella haven't got a clue, lol

 

[PKwalnuts]

I'd keep a low profile, rarely give any comms
I'd let the lads off of any real training, tell them to do what they want.
Probably set fire to stuff like our reputation and our future in the space of a week with a well timed press release containing unsubstantiated claims about one of the staff being a victim of all of our fans.

...oh sorry, what would I do as Manager?

 

[PKwalnuts]

Probably be miserable, not move near by, be diplomatic and apologeticly polite to our history etc, you know the trained PR stuff.
Lose hair. Make no substitutes. Change no tactics.

I have a feeling all of this isn't new though

 

[HowardsWay]

Sign Mike Duff, Kim Kallstrom and Kennedy Bakirioglu for buttons.

Add Julius Aghahowa, Justin Georcelin and To Madeira for good measure.

 

[April1970]

Swear incoherently, like John Sitton did on that documentary about Leyton Orient all those years ago and then copy a line Mourinho used on the Amazon series about Spurs. “Win the game and you can have your dinner.”
