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

[Small Rodent]

No, I agree with that. It's a generally prejudiced and ill-educated nickname for someone. Still, there we go.

Why is Martinez not known as the Thin Spanish Waiter?

I was wondering whether TSM meant Thin Spanish Matador

Randy flying back to brum as we speak .

So any idea where his  kite was when you posted this? Over Greenland? If so than he must be nearly here. Keep us updated as soon as he leaves Elmdon however if he is coming I am sure he will land at Norwich International airport!

Rumours about now that Southgate is being lined up

[PaulWinch again]

Don't believe that for a second. Apparently Wigan want a decision from Martinez by Thursday.

[mikeb1982]

I hope he's not, Southgate would be a very poor appointment IMO

[Concrete John]

I very much doubt there's any truth in the Southgate rumours.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Don't believe that for a second.

I'm discounting nothing after their moronic actions last Summer.

I'm hoping the moronic actions of last summer will make it even less likely they'll fuck it up again.

Southgate an improvement on McLeish?

Southgate an improvement on McLeish?

*tin hat*  not for me.

Both are dire in reality though.

Southgate an improvement on McLeish?

Didnt he get boro relegated in his last season after spending a fair amount, not good condidering he took over a team who had just reached a european final- southgate as a manager was a flop!

[Walmley_Villa]

There are two scenarios as I see it:
1) I do worry that they are sitting around scratching their heads unsure of having a clue of who to go for assuming OGS/Martinez  are/were top of the list and look dead in the water. Southgate is not an invigorating figure. Would Klinsman have recommedned Hoddle through his Spurs connections?
Or,
2) They will pull a rabbit out the hat and surprise us all.

If it isn't the latter I do worry for next season.

Yup I fear if they get the wrong man in then the fans will really start to turn on Lerner ad that would be the slippery slope.

[Mazrim]

I think "better than McLeish" is the most base of their criteria.
It's not going to be Southgate, come on.
I doubt he's even looking for a management job.
