Lambert's replacement

[supertom]

The problem I see is that the manager we need for the remainder of the games is different to what we need long term.

Very true.
Trouble is two of our relegation rivals have already moved to take managers ideal in starting quickly.
I'm not sure which experienced managers are out there who could do it and aren't ring rusty. Guys like Hoddle and Curbishley have been out the game too long.

I don't particularly want Sherwood but the hope is that if he were to come he could start quickly, as he did at Spurs. The difference was though he'd been at the club already, knew the players, and had better players to work with. It's quite something to turn up at a club in the bottom 3 on such a horrific run of form. For Spurs he was somewhat refreshingly gung-ho and seemed to re-invigorate 1-2 there, but I'm not sure he could have quite the same effect.

I wish we'd pulled the trigger months ago and got Pulis to be honest. A few years ago I'd have vomited in my mouth a bit at the mere thought of Pulis managing us. Likewise when McLaren was rumoured 3 years ago I had the rosary beads out praying it wouldn't happen, but now I'd walk all the way to Derby and carry him all the way back to Villa park.

Sherwood comes with Ramsey and Sir Les, I would not be impressed.

Lambert asks Randy twice for sack:

Lambert: "Ah wouldnae say noo tae the push, Randy."
Randy: "Your wooden sea newt's in the bush?"
Lambert: "Ah said sack meh noo!"
Randy: "Acid sock menu...?"
Lambert: "Never mind, everythin's excellent, bye."

Applauds.

Ramsey's got the QPR job until the summer

And Ferdinand is their new director of football.

The more I think of it, the more I'm coming round to the idea of Hoddle.  I also think our next manager need to be savvy in the ways of the Championship because, well, you know !

[garyfouroaks]

As others point out, I think the unavailability of Ramsey and Sir Les counts against Sherwood taking the job right now.

So right, so wise.

But where's the answer to now?

[berneboy]

My school football teams did well with an effective passing style. We won the West Riding County Cup once (in 1978).

I'm retired and available.

The damage caused by relegation would be huge. I think we should pay whatever it costs to get the very best man for the job to the club. Who this is I dont know, however we should not scrimp a single penny to give us the best possible chance of staying up.

I can't believe it took them so long to do it . Did they really think he would turn it round , it wasn't one problem ,it was dozens.

Keegan would bring goals. 
I'll get my coat.

Hoddle hasn't managed for a while but has been actively involved in coaching.

I think his record is better than many suggest, and almost all managers have their failures.

He is available, is credible, plays good football, and is older and wiser than when he was at Wolves.

The list is pretty thin, but Hoddle would be the best available for me.

I agree with that.  Hoddle on a short term appointment till end of the season to keep us up then rewarded with a DOF role for next season.

All these media experts and ex players all say hoddle is one of the best coaches out there
But they were all saying Lambert was doing a brilliant job too with the money he had spent 😝
