Manager for next season

[ozzjim]

I spittle think the scare tactics of dropping even worse options out there had worked and I would almost be relieved as at least I have seen his sides play good football and he bought Mahrez... see its happening already!!!

[alftitimus]

That other 'racist'  --- imo --- Malky McCardiff isn't in this option ?

Where did Pearson's son learn his racist bigotry when he was filmed in Thailand ?
His aggressive threats and demeaning of the women him and his mates had bought?
Was that a shock to his dad ?

Come on.....

I would walk away from my 15 year Season if either of those two were appointed.
Honestly....
I'm thinking of not renewing at the moment, but the juggling of the Board and the average  age going up by a generation, has made me pause.

As for Moyes 

On some other thread, months ago I mentioned his "requirements".
At PNE he eventually became the HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEE.
At Everton he went in and remained the HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEE

At Man Utd he was way down the 'greed-bucket' pecking order.
Di Maria / Rooney etc swamped his wages.
Might be why he failed there.

If he came to us after his European sojourn - HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEE AGAIN -

- he would have to be the King Pin, the 'Highest Waged Employee'

Which means we have to get rid of the enhanced contractees
NZog and his £65k pw will be gone.
Lambert's support for Gabby's enhanced contract, would put him in striking distance of NZog I'd think.

Which means, get rid of the "enhanced" contracts and Moyes could come in for about £40-50K pw.

It's all about  money for Moyes.
Jumped to Everton - Jumped to Man Utd _ bigger wages both times - ACHIEVEMENTS...NIL - ZERO - ZILCH.

Gary Rowett over at the Blues is probably on a 'Living Wage' and £10 an Hour might entice him 

A MUCH better choice than McKay / Pearson / Moyes.

Him or Mad Mick imo.

Genuine guys and genuine managers who sweat football, not earnings.

Still think it will be Pearson

[mr underhill]

I'm going out and might not be coming back. Pearson! FFS!!!

[TonyD]

We're only making plans for Nigel.

John Beck for me - get Dion in as his assistant

Strange to reflect that Cambridge United got into the playoffs for a place in the newly formed Prem League under Beck.

I went to West Brom v Huddersfield in the third tier back in the 90s (I know) where the Huddersfield supporters kept an almost continuous 'Jonny Beck's blue and white army' going for what seemed like the whole game. The constant repetition began to develop a hypnotic quality like a kind of religious incantation. I can remember thinking 'he must be good'.

[brian green]

The abiding memory of John Beck at the Abbey by Cam U fans produced the legend that the quadrants around the corner flags had to be returfed every month.  For those like me who believed that Remi Garde was the way forward and that his treatment by the massed ranks at Villa Park will always be a stain on the history of the club, if he were replaced by John Beck my mood would be one of self righteousness.

Well, it's a view, I suppose...

Hmmm, you like Mad Mick; what about Nutty Nige?

You might want re-read your post.

How would we feel if Eric Black was in charge until the summer, when there would be more choice and less compo to pay for anyone who's been sacked?

[chrisw1]

There's no way our board would be stupid enough to go for Mick McCarthy.  Tell me I'm right?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Fine. Makes little difference to this season and if it widens the pool of managers to pick from, so much the better.

If it's not going to be Moyes then yes definitely.

Unless the right man is already out of work, then the sooner the better surely?

Makes perfect sense to me.  What's to stop us entering into some kind of 'gentleman's agreement' with the selected candidate where he can hold a watching brief until season's end?   Providing it breaches no rules.

Wait until summer and it could be Pardew *shudders*
