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

[4737carlin]

First things first… We HAVE to sack Benitez tonight.

Second… appoint big Dunc immediately for the rest of the season. Then review when the season is done.

Dunc doesn't deserve it, he has had ages to experience management but choose to lay cones.

It'll be Dunc until the seasons end then Mourinho I reckon.

Would give it Potter over Lampard/Rooney but he wont leave Brighton to join this circus.

Disagree, he would walk from Brighton to take over.

 

[Curtis]

I'd be even open to Rooney at this stage just to highlight the bleakness of it all

 

[Johnnytotal]

Big Dunc to get us 5 wins

 

[The_Riddler]

Mourinho won't want to manage in the Championship.

We're in a death spiral now. Stick with Benitez and, well, you saw today. Sack Benitez and install a "blue" or Lampard and I'd be surprised if we stay up.

The Everton job is a horrible one. The manager has to destroy the culture of abject, sentimental and self-aggrandising mediocrity whilst simultaneously asking those who are about to be eliminated to get on board with the plan.

We could turn it around but it needs the change now

Mourinho would be a utter disaster of an appointment mate, on a par with Benetez.

If Mourinho fails then there comes a point when you have to really ask wtf is going on.

Alright some of these managers might be defensive minded or cautious, but there’s just absolutely no way that all of Koeman Allardyce Silva Ancelotti Benitez Mourinho could fail so abysmally with this team.

Mourinho is a world class manager and I doubt there’ll be many of them interested in us.

 

[brieverton]

There wouldn't be a host of contenders anyway, that's for sure.

The way things are going at the club, it's an inevitability that Ferguson is going to get an extended spell in the job sooner or later.

 

[nonstripdzebra]

I am comforted by the idea that Dunc is on the bench if they do fire Benitez in simply having an interim thats hypothetically capable and would be widely accepted. My biggest fear is an in season permanent appointment. We have a lot more things to sort out before that kind of commitment should be in place.

Before any names are seriously thrown out the club the club HAS to appoint a competent DoF. Obviously under Benitez maybe that power has been consolidated, but his removal would have to warrant a vetting of directors. Then the manager can come in focus. More worth our time might be looking for possible DoF's

 

[Ghost Rider]

In normal circumstances I would say Rooney is at least showing he has something about him as a manager and combined with the fact he is a blue, could get this team fighting again.

That being said , can't hire a manager that literally played with most of the squad only a couple of years ago. That would be disastrous

 

[sageyefc]

Should’ve tried everything for galtier last summer

 

[Saint Domingo]

You’d swap one washed up, bullying egomaniac, with another washed up, bullying egomaniac ??

I’d rather have Jose Mourinho managing us than Wayne Rooney yes

 

[irishtony1878]

Rooney and Duncan.

Taps nose.

That pairing is the Last thing I want.
Passionate yes, but thick as pig [Poor language removed] in this league.

 

[COYBL25]

I’d rather have Jose Mourinho managing us than Wayne Rooney yes

Have you seen what he’s doing to Roma and their players at the moment

 

[Sharpies volley]

What on earth's goin on with these Mourinho shouts. He's a busted flush. I really don't know who I'd give the job to but that's up to the board they're supposed to be the experts. They should have dossiers and stats on every candidate out there.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Dunc doesn't deserve it, he has had ages to experience management but choose to lay cones.

No-one cares what you think mate. You and your chums on here have shown your opinion to be worthless. x ?
