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

[BlueToff]

If not Pereira then we need someone in before the end of the week to get players in here.

The board have to appoint someone before or by the weekend - if they dont they could be preparing for the Championship.

They definitely need somebody in but the idea of it being Pereira is extremely worrying.

Read up on what happened at 1860 Munich and who was involved in that deal... They're the only club he's been at where he's joined midway through a season in a similar situation to us.

TSV 1860 Munich - Vítor Pereira, Joorabchian, and the Inter Milan connection - Fussballstadt

TSV 1860 Munich are going to sign Vítor Pereira as their new head coach, a signing that could add another chapter the endless soap opera in Giesing.

3m a year he was on there too... at a second-tier German club (albeit a big one). KJ is a cancer.

Is there a manager linked that over 30% of us would accept?

Fair enough, but we got those deals over the line.

???, please don’t!

I think Rooney is the one who most people wouldn’t hate…

Out of the three mentioned I’d prefer Lampard but do think Rooney would be a sensible choice in mostly uniting the fans.

 

[Oasis1878]

Still think Pereira’s name has just been thrown out there, got a feeling it’ll be Lampard

[NeilA1878]

Yet he's currently managing a top 4 team in La Liga

He has the highest win percentage out of any manager in Real Betis´s history. And Malaga. And Villareal. (Got into the champions league with both, doing it again with Betis). Broke the Real Madrid record points total. He is one of the finest coaches of the last twenty years, regardless of what happened at West Ham.

Not mentioned what salary we are offering, maybe we can only afford vitor and oothers are happy to wait...

I still think this;

I voted Duncan Ferguson.

Give him an interim title, see if the players play for him.

Allow a DOF to come in and make a call on it in the summer.

To be honest, I think it's absolutely ridiculous they didn't name Ferguson as the replacement within the hour of announcing Benitez' departure.

It's not like we're spoilt for choice.

However, I do wonder if perhaps Ferguson isn't as keen on the job as we'd think. His comments, again, about Everton wanting the best managers in the game, and perhaps lacking in his own confidence perhaps does rule him out. If he doesn't think he's got what it takes, then the board and players won't.

Out of every name linked so far, and assuming an issue with Ferguson - my own preference would be Lampard.

/legs it.

Seems like it’s either Vitor, Rooney or Lampard

I’d say most fans would feel ok about Rooney or Lampard but very scared of someone as erratic as Vitor, let alone the connotations with Joorbachian pulling strings…

 

[LocalNative]

Just honestly mind-boggling that the three candidates it's come down to are Lampard, Rooney and Pereira. Just utterly baffling.

Wasn’t sure at first, but Lampard is who I want now

Rooney was Marmite when he came back.
It would be some achievement for him to unite the fans.

I've come around to having Lampard.

I was hoping for Ferguson, but he seemed to repeat the same issues with our midfield two getting overrun and zero build up play. I know he only had a week with them, but it would be nice for us to try to control a game of football.

Lampard prefers a 433 which I think could suit our players, he'll be motivated and still demand work, but I think he could bring it in a calm intelligent way.
