Not sure a any novice manager is a good idea now - its not just the position we are in but turning these dreadful performances around will be a massive job in itself. i like the idea of Hoddle for now. He would immediately get the respect of the players which would be a decent starting point.

The problem (and a major one at that) is that we have to stay up. So we may be looking at two managers. One for this season who knows the capabilities of our playing strength and then one to come in and implement his own ideas. I still think Sir Alex would do it if asked for the remaining games this season. He would command respect and be ruthless when needed. If you bring in someone from abroad who would spend a few weeks assessing the attitude and capabilities of each player it will be too late. Certainly a big name would not want to take on
a club destined for the Championship.

Its all down to the Americans. Will they know what to do?  Judging from past experience it's not very likely is it?.

Hoddle's last job was at Wolves. A good ten years ago, where he failed miserably.  His ego would never get through the door.  He would be an absolute disaster.

I think we need to go foreign.  Bilic, Prandelli, or Benitez - who is out of contract in the summer would be my targets.

If they did get hoddle I wouldn't be thinking about his beliefs I'd just want him to do his best for the team

His abysmal record at Wolves and Spurs is even more worrying than his disgusting personal beliefs.

Cant believe he gets linked to any top division job.

If Hoddle was appointed, I'd be calling for his dismissal from day one.

He's part of the Sky Sports Old Pals Brigade.  It's the only reason the likes of Souness, Hoddle, Redknapp get linked with jobs.  People listen to their punditry then believe they could do a decent job somewhere.

They are pundits for a reason!  Too much football on TV....Grrrrr.......Kill Modern Football!!!

You need to go to TBAR and watch out for any posts by The Trees! He is brilliant at spotting incoming and outgoing flights at BMX which then allows our learned friends over there to weave all sorts of conspiracy theories
