The replacement for MON...?

[JJ-AV]

I want Bilic. Jol is no better than MON IMO. Bilic has that aura of brilliance about him.

So why have his Croatia team been so distinctly average despite having some excellent players?

Unfortunately the big forum move seems to have wiped the rather wonderful critique of the list of managers that John Blackwell suggested.

If anyone could find it again then it would certainly provide this thread with a bit of enlightenment.

Is that signed 'The Big Sam - via twitter'  by any chance?

"I told Randy: I don't care if you've sold Ashley to Spurs but if I can't keep my Salifou then you can't keep me."

and

"Now I'm going to have to break the news to John Robertson and hope he doesn't beat 7 shades of poo out of me."

I liked the one last week too:

"I'm starting to think Steve Sidwell is a figment of my imagination."

Complete with a perplexed MON staring straight back at you. Great picture.

Jesus, there's a whole community of pretend managers and pretend players that talk to one another on there!

MON had an aura about him too.

What has Bilic done? he has only managed Croatia hasnt he?

I think Jol could be great with us, he got spurs closer than Martin got us to fourth.

I think it was him, but it was posted years ago.

Please no!!!

I've added a poll for most of the people mentioned so far.  If anybody wants anybody else adding mention it here or PM a mod.

David Jones.

Still not an inspiring choice, but as good as anyone else in the list. In my opinion.

If it's entertainment we're after, we could do worse than Bielsa.

If it's entertainment we're after i'd give it to Derren Brown.

MON had an aura about him too.

An aura about being obssessed with playing centre-backs and central midfielders at right-back?

[nechells]

Why would Jol swap Ajax for us? Why would he achieve any more here than he dod at Spurs for which he was sacked?

The sad truth is that there are no outstanding candidates. Pelligrini might be worth a whirl, but would be a big risk and would upset the English ethos which MOn has rightly, and carefully, cultivated.

Jol was certainly giving serious consideration to join Fulham-We could well be that little bit more of an attractive proposition that may tip the scales.

You forget that Jol also assembled that excellent Hamburg side a couple of years back.

I think we are crying out for someone like Jol who has the ability to utilise funds by signing from a much broader spectrum than MON's cautios (& not very successful)  "buy British" approach.

Would have ideally liked Mark Hughes,with the added bonus that he could very likely attract some of Man City's fringe players but given the list available,its Jol all day long for me.

I can't see any manager who is currently employed leaving their club this close to the season unless Villa is a real step up. The trouble is we need a big name  otherwise we could have a Graham turner situation. Moyes would have good grip of the club within days but Everton are in the same second tier league as us in the Prem, so whats in it for Him?

So its a international manager or a unemployed one I'm afraid.

Martin has spent the money on overpriced English players so I would like to see a manager who knows the international market for players and has proven managerial quality........Hiddink can't see it.........Jol...maybe......bilic.....maybe who else is there come on someone mention a man to inspire us and lead us to the promised land of 4th!
