Manager for next season

[DeKuip]

And 2 European Cup winning teams.

And my Leeds supporting friends would dispute that as well (even though they didn't actually win the 75 final they have claimed it and sing about being champions of Europe).

no no no no no, Warnock coming in would make it very difficult for me to follow the club, the guy is thoroughly deserving of his well known anagram.  On top of that he's a crap manager who has been quickly found out in pretty much every job he's had, he's the sort of manager I suspect we'd have been looking at if we hadn't been sold.

Did anybody hear Neil Warnock on talksport? Somebody on Facebook said he was dropping heavy hints. Surely not.

Again not awe inspiring but I am probably one of the few people who think he would get us up.  It isn't long term but he does a job and doesn't stand any crap.

I have a few friends who are Leeds fans who would have a good laugh at you for thinking that.

At a really stable club that, oh yeh forgot we are the same.  But Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, QPR, Rotherham would say different.

I do find it incredible that given an Ashley run Newcastle is nearly as much of a basket case as us yet unlike us have managed to persuade a top class manager to stay with them and seemingly funds for players isn't going to be an issue.  Yet here we are nearly three months after sacking our manager and we are down to an awe inspiring choice of Di Matteo or Pearson.

Wasn't Benitez reported to have asked similar demands of Randy Lerner when interviewed (after Houllier left I think), which was the reason he wasn't interested. He wants money to spend and he wants to be in sole control and given authority to change the academy set-up to his liking too. In other words, give me all the tools and I will rebuild.
In hindsight it might have turned out cheaper for Randy in the long-run if he'd gone that way with someone of his experience.

Probably bullshit but some bloke has posted a picture of himself with Moyes, saying that he's said he hopes he's going to be Villa manager. I'm calling bullshit, but...

20-1, I'm going to have a punt.

Clearly bollocks. Posted a second picture where Moyes is dressed differently driving off. Attention seeking.

I had a fiver on Moyes at 16/1 a while back. So I'm happy for any link (even a shit one)

Crap managers don't achieve seven promotions on very limited resources. We could do worse than Warnock, if he was to manage the Villa which I doubt he would be offered the job at least he knows the league inside out. I would prefer Moyes but it isn't likely to happen.

He knows the league because he's not good enough to manage at any level above it.

I'm just hoping that whoever gets the job makes this current bunch of wankers (ie the first team squad) wish they were anywhere but here.

Isn't the fitness thing just a new manager line? Sherwood said it last season.  Garde then said it. Benitez said it at Newcastle. Allardyce said it at Sunderland. It's just a get out of jail free early.

From memory I think our and Sunderland's stats (lack of ground covered etc) really supported those arguments though (no idea about Newcastle).
