Who should our new manager be?
It may be that we need someone short term to get us out of the shit then a long term replacement.

We need somebody to dig us out of the hole. Somebody who can grind results and get the lads up for a fight, restore pride in the jersey. I'm sick of Geds sophisticated (sounding) BS.

Short term... Chris Hughton and if we do drop he can sort us out in the championship.

Martin Jol, he's free, and has some recent, successful premier league experience, not the had a couple of good seasons five years ago shite that we've got with Houllier.  Just please God not Allardyce, I can't watch that every week. Or we could just wait till we're relegated and get Curbishley, he seems to be about our level at the moment...

Anyone who can get us out of trouble. Doesn't have to be pretty football just someone who can motivate the players we have.

If houllier goes then martin jol would be my choice but whoever it is would need to be appointed very fast- randy dithered for 5 weeks in the summer and must take his share of blame for this mess!

Whoever our manager is we need new signings this month and quickly!

Given a choice of houllier or keV mac I'd stick with houllier but jol was my choice in the summer and I'd still like him.

Jol. Do it now. Give him a few weeks to bring in one or two players.

Kevin Mac.

The players liked him, he'll revert to the football they know, Ireland have something to offer. He should get us six wins.

I like Houllier, and given time and resources I think he'd turn it round. But the facts are there, we need to win six games between now and the end of the season and we're not gonna do it under him.

If you want to be sure of safety Big Sam.

If you want to go down the similar route of football and philosephy of Houllier, then Jol, but he is a younger man and may motivate the smelly turd that Martin shit Deals left us with, saw rotting and jumped away from.

If you want to go cheap, and maybe stay up but likely not, Houghton.

If you want to go to sleep Curbishley.
