Moyes?

[Tony Erdington]

no to monk, not enough experience, would be another gamble.

It's Catch 22, I think. Any manager good enough to save us won't want to come, why should they?

Klopp, Jose et al are in a different league to some of names being forwarded here.

Probably, but not by a million miles. Lucien Favre finished higher than Klopp's Dortmund last season on a fraction of the budget that Dortmund have. He's available and has a very solid track record across his fifteen years of football management with very few blips.

A guaranteed success with us? Obviously not. More of a risk than sticking with somebody who literally has nothing to back up why he should be managing a Premier League football team? I think not.

Favre is a great call, again not someone I'd expect our dimwits to have heard of though. It'll be Pearson or we'll pay a few million for a Dyche.

Premier League, prestigious club, good fan base, potentially a squad that should be a few places higher. Ego.

I've never heard of him.

He used to be quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.

He's no Shorty Krantz then.

Favre - he should certainly be on the shortlist (if the board had any foresight).

In a similar vein: I was banging on about Tomas Tuchel this time last year. Out of work. On a Sabbatical. He went to Dortmund to replace Klopp in the summer so obviously too late for him.

But if I, with a BT Sports subscription, can earmark potential candidates, then why can't the board???

I'd favour Favre

We could get one of his massive clocks swinging from the Holte End.

That's why I'd take the job! But the risk of relegation may be too great for a manager who isn't a) a chancer or newby with little to lose (Tim Sherwood, Rowlett) or b) an uninspiring clogger (Mark Hughes, Tony Pulis et al) and we really need one who's several degrees better than either of those.

Mark Hughes an uninspiring clogger? I doubt if you will get many backers for that point of view.

I'd disagree that Sherwood has had nothing to lose.

He's as good as guaranteed that he won't get another job with the way he's gone about things, especially the last 3-4 weeks.

Perfect candidate for the Leeds job in three months time.
