Unless it was someone like Conte or Poch, whoever does get the job is probably going to be seen as a bit meh. I don't mind that as long as there is some potential to believe in the person that's got the job. That's the best alternative to hiring some super name.

I don't actually believe another project manager is what we need at all, we have to get someone who is going to complete a full contract at a minimum. Not always casting around with their agent for an unexpected opportunity. And someone who has something to prove and is hungry, not someone gracing us by signing a contact that ultimately means nothing anyway.

I believe we can be in or around the top six with the right appointment but there are going to be plenty of ups and downs, and probably more downs to begin with. Would Conte hang around and show us that degree of patience, if Juventus are on the phone? Ancelotti clearly didn't.
 

I just can’t help but feel it’s a Martinez kind of appointment, and will the job be too big for him?

Plays nice stuff, but I don’t know, I feel like will go against him. Ancelotti to Potter, a non fancy name, first loss snd hes got everyone on his back.

Hes the only one of the domestic list do far, that I don’t hate, I just feel he’d be on to a beating before he’s entered the building.
I think there are comparisons with Martinez alright. He came to us having took Wigan down but won the FA Cup. Potter seems to me to be more of a straight line manager, he wouldn't be giving us the phenomenal spiel for sure. I like them both, I think Potter could be progressive whilst bring pragmatic.

It carries risk, all appointments will for us. My concern would be that he would be possibly more deadbeat than we'd need, and so possibly a bit dull and academic, but I haven't seen a lot of him in interviews etc. I like his CV though and what I've seen and read of him.
 

Just like when we appointed Carlo this, don't think anyone has a clue who it would be.

We knew it would be Martinez
Knew it would be Silva
After Emery turned us down we knew it would be koeman

So on that basis I don't think I'll be any of the "expected" Nuno/Moyes/howe

Just need someone who's willing to put the time and effort in to sort the club out, as nice as it was dreaming about Carlo he obviously couldn't be arsed sticking with it so not even arsed if we don't get a "massive" name, as long as they have pedigree, shown they can win things and willing to roll up the sleeves.
 
Did he get the targets he wanted? Look at their record since. Every manager has struggled. He was never going to be given the time he needed there. Poisoned chalice.

Every manager since wasn't handed a premier league winning squad.

I do agree he should have been given more time though.
 
I think there are many worse candidates than Moyes.

However, he'll forever be the guy who took us as far as he could. He was happy managing expectations, keeping us just below that glass ceiling.

Rightly or wrongly, realistically or otherwise, we want more than that.

There's nothing to suggest he could effectively apply the increased resources we have now. The shot he had at the big time, with United, he flunked spectacularly.

Ultimately, for me, going with Moyes would feel like surrendering our hopes of breaking back into the elite under Moshiri.
I get that. But he didn’t have a fair crack at the whip at United.
I think he’d do a better job than people realise with us. He’s clearly hungry still.
