Manager for next season

[LeeB]

Mind you what a choice, eh? The fat girl or the one with a face like a welder's bench?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

They've spent 80 million in two.windows and they're going down. Lulz.

I think they'll have nowt to spend bar what they get from sales.

Moyes is sweet on us I reckon.

There's the Ashley factor too. What kind of decent human being would choose to work for that arsehole?

Yup, as mad houses go, they're in far worse state then us. Only an idiot would go there and that's an opinion shared by their fans.

[Matt C]

Pearson at Newcastle, Moyes to us.

I just don't see it happening until relegation is official - why put that on your CV?

I have thought similar Matt. Pearson without Walsh et al isn't worth it.

True. Nice description of Pearson and Moyes.

Think that showed an apetite to stay up though.  As did appointing FSW despite that being a flawed decision

It doesn't mean that another £25m will magically appear though.

And also stupidity as it's reported none of their players have relegation clauses, including those signed in Jan. They are going to be more fucked than us when they are relegated.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The question is what offers will Moyes have and will he get better ones than us? My guess would be he wants a domestic job. Hard to think of a PL job that will be open that he'll be considered for. Of the team down there only Swansea have a vacancy and you to think Rodgers is a good bet for that. I can't see anyone else firing their manager. So it will be us or Newcastle realistically.

Celtic have been seriously flirting with him. As he's never won a thing, he may choose them with the added attraction of European football (at least for one round).

Does anyone know that all our players have relegation clauses in terms of wage reduction? This is Faulkner/Fox we are talking about who constructed the contracts

The Celtic one has been rumoured for a decade or so. I suspect he'd do that as his 'last' job

Do good managers go to Scotland? Average managers win the league there every year, but it's not the challenge that the PL is, and that's a massive draw. Getting Villa back up would be a more attractive challenge I'd have thought.

[Dante Lavelli]

Can't see Moyes coming tbh given a choice. Too much to lose. Not sure if he's the right guy anyway. Think we need someone who hasn't managed any big clubs

i don't think he'll lose that much.  In fact nothing. 

I reckon we'll pay top 10 wages (PL) for the next manager and I cannot see any genuine top ten club offering him that. 
He could take over at - say - WBA for less money and remain in the PL however there's limited scope to improve such a club - and therefore restore his reputation.

This is something I have wondered. I can see Gabby's motivation to fuck off when he is going to be paid a king's ransom no matter what happens to us being next to zero.

I hope our board want him as much as most of or fans do. We're easy to sell based on ground, facilities, fans and tradition but if the board can dangle a carrot to say he can rebuild with X amount of cash, I'm convinced he'll be up for it.
