The problem is we are currently 17th, If we hire someone say Marcelino for example and it goes extremely pear shaped it will set this club years and years back, If someone say Moyes came in he would work with what he's got no transfers in Jan apart from a CB on loan maybe, His task is getting us high up the table and possible, Brands and co have time to plan and look and who they want as the future manager in the summer and we wave bye to Moyes on the final day of the season.
Leicester are different they were in the top half of the table when Puel got sacked iirc so Rodgers had some breathing room, To try and appoint a manager that the fans and the board to lead us for many years to come at this stage of the season is such a risk.

Nah not even the current fella would get us relegated and we are playing absolutely garbage.

A manager as good as a Marcelino/Mancini/Ten Hag etc would easily see us stay up even if they ended up turning out as bad as Voldermort.

Fortunately our home form ensures we nick enough wins like WHU to keep us afloat.

You also have to rememebr Moyes was relegated with Sunderland - he isnt a guaranteed bet to stay up regardless of his previous time here.

Gotta leave Ten Hag out of there. There's zero chance of that happening unless he gets dropped on his head. Not confident on the others, but the Dutchman isn't leaving his plum gig at Ajax.

Dont know he's already hinted he would leave if a Prem club came calling.

All in all not one of us on here knows who we could or couldn't attract apart from Pep or Klopp so its a moot debate really.

Essentially we are 16th but 3 points off 7th and a squad easily good enough to compete for Europe - any perspective manager will know that they aint going into a car crash full of championship quality players massively cut adrift of safety.
 
Marcelino looks to have good pedigree and can't manage in Spain again this season.

I imagine he would be very much in the mix particularly as we would need a quick appointment.

We could do much worse than someone with his comparative record at Villarreal and Valencia.

Given the list of possibles he would be up there with the better options.
 

Yeah it does. I would rather have Martinez back tbh but hey ho. He will steady the ship that’s for sure just don’t think it should be the long term
Yeah I also wonder about the team. Will we have to go through another rebuild all new managers will want few of there own players.

The foundations are there and probably need a couple of tweeks like a CB and a proven striker that our young strikers can learn from and I do genuinely think we can go places.

Mate, Im with you in thinking Silva is a terrible manager but that Voldemort..? Just really not working. Marco Martinez or Roberto Silva works a lot better.
 
Your probably right mate. But will they go for a proven winner or another up an coming manager?. We both know what’s most likely.

Honestly dont know mate although my source told me that Allegri was approached by a rep of ours and he was falling over himself for it.

Now the longer we leave sacking Voldermort the more likely free agents like Marcelino and Allegri will be snapped up like Garcia.

We have to act fast if we want to approach a good manager as timing is everything - look at RS with Klopp - they likely wouldnt have got him whilst he was in a job.

Yeah couldn’t agree more. With the likes of Man U and spurs they may need managers soon so we need to act.

Yeah the team is definitely top 8 at a minimum. With few additions and coach that won’t accept average performances from players who should know better we can go places.

Can Moyes come in and get a tune out of them though? This is the problem of what I’m being told is gospel then he is going to have too and quickly. Our home form may be decent but we need to sort this away form out or we are going to be foooooooooked
