The replacement for MON...?

[achilles]

This is becoming desperate, still we can't appoint a manger until the transfer deadline has passed... so the earliest is tomorrow!

Sven kmac curbishley klinsmann and houllier I reckon would be the 5 interviewed.

Sven or klinsmann great, houllier ok, and curbs or kmac a total lack of ambition and very very poor options.

Why is it becoming desperate?.

[pmk1981]

nothing desperate about it,  i call it thorough and making sure the right man is appointed

And the cheapest.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Ok see that appointing Mac because of his Villa background. But because of his lack of "premereship" experience and his own doubts of taking the job on. That would surely hardly install any confidence to the players ?

The next manager will be Kevin MacDonald.  Absolutely dreading it.  6-0 to Newcastle!!  I remember posting on Sunday that it wouldn't be all that bad if we were to lose to Everton as it would stop the clueless, naive, terrible manager KMac from getting the job.  As it pans out we won the game and despite being mullered by both Newcastle and Everton (and Everton did batter us) it seems that we are gonna appoint him.  If so it's an absolute disgrace.  We will have gone from having one of the best managers in the league to having by far and away the worst.  I 'd take anybody, even Bradley over MacDonald, the man is totally out of his depth.

agreed, if kmac got the job then we are in real desperate trouble , i pray randy is not a fool!

How is it the cheapest?.

[TimTheVillain]

Not rocket science this:-

a) He will command a lower salary than a proven Prem Manager.

b) No contract pay off needed (for example, if an aggressive move for Hughes was made, Fulham would require compenation).

99% of times You get what you pay for.

I fear for our season if KevMac is appointed.

[MarkM]

Well it wont be Bradley, he has just signed a four year extension to stay the USA manager

[john e]

if i'd have put a tenner on everyone i thought it would be from the start, i'd be a few hundred quid down,
its incredible how there are so many names banded about, and still no one really knows anything.

i still trust in Randy, i'm not bothered if it takes a little while, just as long as we make a good decision.

mind you, i did trust MON right up untill he brought Marlon,
my faith in him wained somewhat after that, hope it doesnt happen again with Randy

I fear for our CLUB if KMac is appointed.  The lowest profile manager we could possibly get short of me getting the job.  Nobody will want to come to us in Jan if he is at the helm and players like Ash and Gabby, despite there supposedly good relationship with him, will be looking around at other clubs with proper managers and we could easily lose both of them when we are languishing in the lower reaches of the table come Christmas.  This would be a far bigger disaster than losing Milner and it's in our own hands.  Don't do it Randy, I beg you!!

[Phil from the upper holte]

We might have to bite the bullet for now and have Kev. If there isnt anyone out there that's decent / or wants it.

Kev till xmas wouldn't be so bad would it?... we won 2 out of 4, 2 out of 3 if you ignore europe
