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

All good points ozz, and why  -out of Rodgers or Lambert-  I'd have a preference for Rodgers.

How much of the Swansea success is down to Rodgers compared with Martinez's legacy? - I realise that Rodgers has managed the side for a couple of years, and brought in Sigurdsson and the Spurs CB loanee, but part of me thinks that he's still riding the success of Martinez there.

Having said that, Martinez has taken 4-5 years to get the Wigan team playing reasonably okay for the last 10 games of last season, so I question why the media have gone so orgasmic over him.

I hope Randy/OGS reads/gets told about this thread as winning over the fans is half the battle, and that battle seems won already. Get him in.

Its really refreshing to see the fans all pulling in the same direction despite the obvious risks we face in getting him. It means that win or lose we've at least all got a stake in this.

I must admit, I'm very pleasantly suprised to see such support for going for Solskjaer. When I first heard that we were going for him I was suprised, then chewed it over and it made perfect sense to the point I know deem him essential, but I never imagined that so many would agree, prefering a more established "name" instead.

Lambert reminds me of MON.
RDM reminds me of McLeish.
OGS reminds me of.... er.... I haven't a clue, as I know nothing about the way he manages.
So, let's get him in, nothing to lose, can't be as bad as last season...

I'd love it to be Rodgers, but it isn't going to happen.

Stuff Randy reading this, but I do hope someone has put OGS onto it. We want you Ole! Simple as it gets!

But Randy is the one who needs convincing.

Liverpool's short list seems to be getting shorter. In addition to Rodgers they have also had Frank de Boer, Jurgen 'Klip' Klopp and Pep Guardiola reportedly declining 'informal talks'.

Who knows if it is all true or not, but I wonder if that is 'why piss in my own pond for a long shot' syndrome or whether the club's stock has sunk even further.

Although in Guardiola's case it would be probably more along the lines of 'you must be fucking kidding'.

Picked this post only to highlight a point repeated on here which I find hard to comprehend.

We know so little about this guy, the style his teams play (really, has anybody watched enough of Molde to claim expertise?) and how he will perform at a level far beyond that at which he currently manages, I'm shocked the majority are prepared to take such a gung-ho approach to appointing him.

He may, in time, prove to be a great manager. I confess, I've warmed a little to the idea of giving him a chance, but to suggest we have nothing to lose by it all going tits up - and let's be honest, what career history do we have to suggest it won't - is astonishing.

this is probably why Randy wants some time to mull things over - does he try and get a manager with some type of pedigree (Martinez etc) or go with a completely new idea with OGS
It may well be that he thinks OGS with his new ideas together with Kev Mac and Sid are the solution, but only time - which hopefully he will be given - will tell!
I for one am behind this, but then its not my money

Could a Mod change my name to dicemæn please

I honestly think that whoever comes in will have his own back room team - therefore K Mac will go back to what he does best and look after the reserves!!!

I think Randy may look back at the last 2 appointments (been down the pedigree route) and where did it get us and how much has it cost him. I can understand the change in direction in going after someone like OGS and it's a bold/brave move.

If Randy ain't convinced I'll eat collection of programmes.
