Who do you want as the next manager? New poll option.

If you line up all the potential and gettable frontline candidates - Martinez, di Matteo, Lambert, Rogers, Solskjaer, I'd say four will never build a Champions League-winning team. Solskjaer might. It's a gamble, but let's die trying.

i agree he comes over as intelligent and he obviously likes to play football, though how useful that is with our players i'm not sure. But mainly I just wish he was doing it at a level a bit higher and not where passing herds of reindeer can double the attendances at some grounds and without the major spending behind him. I know we're guilty of thinking we're bigger then we are, but in terms of the leap he'd be making its cornershop to Harrods frankly.

JG had no experience managing a Premiership club......

True, but he was a former player and had been an assistant manager at the club so knew the place pretty well.

Absolutely, I'd be very happy if it happens. I just fear he might turn us down, although conversely it'd be odd for Randy to fly his jet out there if Solskjaer hadn't shown some interest.

A bit like say Wycombe to Villa?

My thoughts exactly!

Well said Dave.The board are taking a gamble that might just pay off.Good on them.

[Legion]

If he does get appointed, I can't wait to hear the reaction from the crowd when we string a few passes together...

[dave.woodhall]

Another thing - we've never signed a Scandinavian who's let us down.

[Chipsticks]

I think OGS is exactly the kind of guy to do the two things I want from our next manager.

- try to win games
- build the team around Stephen Ireland

Eirik Bakke was a bit of a let down.

[damon loves JT]

A year left on his contract, difficult second album to record after getting to the top of the charts - perfect time to leave, I'd say.

[PeterWithe]

I'm a bit worried that this another appointment made after asking 'Hi Sir Alex, who do you think I should appoint this time your majesty?' He cant be any worse than the last twat he endorsed I suppose.

Agreed.

[London Villan]

With the work ethic instilled by Fergie Ireland will be packing his bags already... as will a few of the other overpaid clowns we have.
