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

[Kev The Rat]

So why is everyone touting Rooney, Martinez, Potter, Mourinho etc. etc. They are all employed (thankfully).

Well they think these people are our ‘level’. Without considering the logistics.

The truth is as we can see with Martinez now it’s very very tough to bring in managers mid season already employed. Nigh on impossible.

Which is why the last 2 mid season appointments we made were out of work.

That's the bit I find hardest. Sorting out the Belgium FA will be the easy bit.

If Kenwright has asserted control with Moshiri, and essentially stated you have made awful choices, and died on the Benitez hill, theres a possibility he let's Kenwright select I suppose. But christ, it's some come down that.

Don't see how Kenwright "asserts control" though. If Moshiri doesn't want someone, nothing's going to force him to sign off

 

[Kev The Rat]

I'd be astonished if Moshiri signed off on Martinez. Didn't Martinez sue him/us?

You would say yes but don’t you think it would have been ruled out of court already if Moshiri had no intention of signing it off?

I didn't say he wasn't, just that I'd be astonished (and thoroughly confused)

Shinnie just went to Wigan from Derby for less than £30k, Rooney would be peanuts to get.

Potter was never coming.

Italian media murmuring that Jose on the verge of the sack.

Roberto, no idea, we’re just a mental basket case club.

They are correct.

 

[Kev The Rat]

They are correct.

I would say to that a) Ancelotti and b) they need to be out of work at this stage of the season

So they are wrong

We’ve also offered him the job already, surely we’re not so inept that Bill’s doing all this by himself only for Moshiri to pull the plug after finding out.

Yes, not possible

 

[matty1878]

it’s not going to be a manager who was sacked by the current owner and the fans protested against martinez. no no no no no no vault me

Jose actually manages the task of being more finished as a manager than Benitez

we’ve offered him the job? lol no we haven’t

Yeah exactly. I'm just baffled that Moshiri would be willing to go back after not only sacking him once, but also being sued by him

 

[brieverton]

Please not Mourinho. Anyone but him. The place would end up on fire with the trouble he would cause.

Ferguson will / should take the Villa game. I don't think there is any appetite internally to give it to him full-time.

We won't be getting Potter. Even if he was so inclined, Brighton would make it impossible. We aren't in a position to dictate anything.

Then the chase starts in earnest. If there is a whiff of Kovac being interested, then it's a no-brainer as far as I can see.

Nah. It's a close run thing, but Benitez is further down that particular track
