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

[Somerset Blue]

This club is completely gone! Not even remotely funny anymore, let me know when it’s safe to come back…I’m out!

 

[Mr K.Dilkington]

Who did people genuinely think we would attract? Look at the list. Lampard and Rooney. This was always how this would end up. Fans were turning their nose up at Mourinho ffs.

I'd turn my nose up at Mourinho because he's a dinosaur like Benitez. That's not to say we'll be lucky to get anyone want to manage us with any degree of pedigree.

who said it was ?

 

[Rob17896]

He's our own Remi Garde. The only difference between us and Villa is that we'll propably going to bust and end up in League Two like Bolton.

Looking good is it not?

We'll see a lot of this over the next week or so. Names not considered as yet will be linked - and even have substance to them.

Lampard is the only link I'd give credence to atm though.

He's available, knows the league, and a manager that could credibly be sold by the board as a long term solution.

If there was nothing to this I doubt Lampard and his people would have allowed this association to carry on.

Not that he’s even interested but we can’t be turning our nose up at Mourinho when the best we can do is Vitor Pereira

Problem is when you're in a bad position in January with a bad team and you're limited in who you can attract. Newcastle, chocked full with money, appointed Eddie Howe ffs. Watford will get another no mark in. Norwich got Dean Smith who'd just been sacked from Villa. People mentioning Remi Garde and Bob Bradley, these were other mid season failures.

You're limited to either a left field choice from someone without the experience (like Rooney) or someone desperate to restore their reputation after failing somewhere (Lampard) or just someone with a pretty awful CV (Pereira).

Even the likes of Potter wouldn't touch us with a bargepole but would have last summer to follow on from Carlo.

Lampard in the circumstances makes the most sense out of a bad list.

 

[BlueToff]

I thought this was what people wanted? Young foreign progressive, not the obvious choice, clearly not a Kenwright pick, not a kopite, hasn’t managed the club before, not a dinosaur from the early 2000s. Isn’t this what you wanted?

people just want a half-decent manager

It must be a joke surely, It’s the only way to make sense of it!

I hope you are right. The ‘links’ to Pereira are scary. May as well just give up if he is appointed

 

[zukai12_]

100% serious when i say this


go all out for Marco Silva

god knows he had flaws but he's been better than everybody since

No way that happens.

 

[blue to the bone]

No one has a clue what progressive is which makes it such a laughable concept when it gets thrown about.

OK. Young so. We can all agree on that ya

That's what I'm saying mate, very stressful time. Still better than having Rafael though.
