Lambert's replacement

[PaulWinch again]

In fairness Sir Brian said as much and said that it should be for a younger, more modern manager.

[N'ZMAV]

he is right.

Sensible .

Sod it. Lets throw lots of money at Frank Lampard and tell him to sort it out. He can play as well! and talk to the press..La Bleakley can shop at Tescos on the Witton Rd!

Paul Clement would be nice however we need two pronged approach here. Someone in to do a job to motivate the team to get some results not someone who has the tactical nous but it will take this set of players about 5 or 6 games to learn. That's the person for the summer appointment.

Terry Venables ?

Bloke in my local said earlier..."You need an old head in there....'arry, that's who you need to get you out of the mess. Then you should have whatshisname...the other Spurs bloke, the one who used to play for 'em. Dead good he was."

"Sherwood?"

"That's him. Brilliant he is."

He's a Spurs fan.
Lives on another planet, obviously.

I would break the bank and go for Eddie Howe.   Money speaks all languages.

Thought I had strayed to celebrity deathwatch thread then

I'm going to make myself unpopular with many of you, but it has to be said.

We, as fans, are not good judges of who should be appointed manager, so the club should ignore us completely and crack on with appointing the right man for the job. I say this because we previously turned our noses up at Steve McLaren so they looked elsewhere - he would have been a good appointment in hindsight. We shouted about Paul Lambert and then went into a delirious frenzy when he was appointed, only for it to be a massive disappointment.

Many of us, on this site, turned our noses up at Martinez, Rodgers and Benitez in the past. I remember reading the posts and being quite amazed at our arrogance. What would we give for those guys now?

Our job is to support the new manager and the team, because they need us now more than ever. And we need them to perform.

He's Bournemouth through and through. Didn't like it up North. Plus, he's still relatively unproven. We need someone that's been there and done it.

The managerial graveyard at Villa park doesn't seem to do much for a manager's long term earning potential.

And he has already got a zero win percentage at Villa Park this season (worse than Lambert)

I don't think I could take being turned down by the pissing Bournemouth manager, and we would be turned down.

[Clampy]

Someone mentioned his name on here earlier but I do quite the idea of Slaven Billc. Can't see it happening though.
