Manager for next season

[Des Little]

Absolutely no need to rush a decision. So much can happen manager wise at the end of the season so I hope we spend time getting the infrastructure right before bringing the manager in. We simply cannot afford to get this appointment wrong.

[Matt C]

Agreed. No rush and likely more options once the season is over.

[ozzjim]

If Moyes would take it he is one I would have before the end of the season. Likewise Rodgers.

[PaulWinch again]

Of course.

[clash city rocker]

If moves took the job I would be amazed.

[mr woo]

It's not all about who we want obviously.  We're not the draw we were I think you have to accept.


For me Moyes is the standout choice, and available. Whether he'd want it is another thing.

Pearson and Bruce I wouldn't be completely unhappy with, which says a lot about how far we've fallen.

I genuinely wouldn't want Rodgers or Monk.  Neither are what we need and BR is surely the most over rated of them all. Created the worst Dippers side in my lifetime and only Gerrard / Suarez covered up his failings.


Other, perhaps improbable, names to throw in?   

Laudrup,  koeman, flores,  Wenger if Arsenal get rid. de Boer from Ajax. Howe, Dyche, Rowett, hiddink once Chelsea drop him, Hodgson (meh) or O Neill (I know I know but I liked him) once the Euros are over. Karanka ex Borough. I'd even consider fat sam, pulis and dodgy Harry as improvements over our last 4 managers.

I'll have what you're drinking...

My worry would be that Leicester's success on staying up and pushing on may be down to Walsh and Shakespeare rather than Pearson. So we end up with another manager who was kept afloat by others and will founder without them.

[ozzjim]

Dodgy Harry fits the "got sides out of the championship" bill. Also played some great stuff at Spurs. Would never happen, but would be an interesting choice.

Me too. Got to be a man and his team, not a man and then 6 months finding a team for him.

I hate the thought of Pearson as manager of Aston Villa, he can fuck off and die.

Has anyone mentioned Southgate ?

I know the Club wanted him before Sherwood was appointed but he declined. He had an Under 21 Tournament to manage.

With Little on board, Southgate could be an outside bet again ?

[ozzjim]

Surely better suited to the football operations role than the manager job?

Has he had any success in management? Serious question...

Bill being the operative word. Spends a lot of money when clubs throw it at him and it fucks up the club every time. Very wide berth.
