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

[MrGrumpy]

I wonder how many would have been wetting the bed with the announcement of unproven and inexperienced Moyes coming from Preston

At the time I wanted him and remember playing snooker in Riley’s when he came the manager as was over joyed

Please not Mourinho, please let’s get off the merry-go-round of washed up has beens.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

If this happens I'll bungie jump off the top of the Radio city tower fully bollocko with a large duty free toblarone up my anus.

For the 19th time, MOURINHO IS NOT LEAVING ROMA TO COME HERE

 

[Walter Ego]

Where are you getting that from? I live down south and their fans down here love him, they just want the board to back him a bit more.

They’ve spent shed loads with him

 

[micknick]

Ruined Kean more like

Ok

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

I’ll throw a name out there which will not be popular and he’s certainly not Hollywood by any stretch but he has an excellent recent record apart from one relegation ?
Chris Wilder

You know he took the Boro job like 6 weeks ago right?

 

[Zatara]

…I fear the former will see us relegated. We need to act now, giving it to somebody until the end of the season has to be a definite non-starter.

You think Ferguson would get us relegated?

Hes the only manager since Moyes who weve seen full on helter-skelter football like we used to more frequently under Royle...winning football.

Who would be your choice?

Because he was great before that.

Ferguson works on passion. Passion only works for so long before you need actual tactics. That's why he REALLY needs to go somewhere to try out a team for awhile.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Give Dunc the chance for the next 2-3 games, and if we get a couple of wins and move into the middling pack then we can afford to give him until the end of the season where we then re-evaluate.

If this happens, I can see good reasons for (and also against) hiring Rooney or Potter.
Kovac wouldn't be a disaster; Amorim, Conceição, and Gallardo are pipe dreams.
No Mourinho, no Dyche, no Fonseca.

But before any managerial acquisition takes place, we need to bring in board members and a CEO with actual experience in leading a competitive sporting club, and they should decide on whether a DOF structure should be enforced or not moving forwards.

Why would you waste 2-3 weeks plus a transfer window on a guy who NOT up for it

 

[Walter Ego]

Look he took Northampton up didn’t he ?

It wasn’t a rhetorical question - I’m genuinely asking who
1) would have an immediate impact
2) would have a long term vision and plan
3) would take it now

Think 'who' number 1 should be 'who gives a high degree of certainty not to get us relegated'. There seems to be a view that the players are easily good enough to at least keep us up, if half way sensible team selection and tactics are introduced. I worry about our defenders, with only Mina generally accepted as good enough, and even his fitness certainly can't be relied upon. After that, you're looking at players who are well, well, past it, untried and inexperienced, decidedly not good enough, and might be ok if we could find their best position. If you chuck in a new manager who might lose the plot, or at least take time to find his feet, then we could be in real trouble.

Tbf, we don’t know if he is tactically astute. He doesn’t a looong time next to some high profile managers, he must have learned something
