Manager for next season

[cdbearsfan]

Everton have conceded more goals in the closing minutes of first and second halves more often than us this season.

I'm out.

Oscar Garcia.

/taps nose

ooh

*heads to oddschecker*

I can imagine Brian Little saying his name and it sounding convincing, so on that basis he's a strong contender in my eyes.

Pearson all day long. Stop messing around Hollis!

[Steve R]

That's probably enough to have the rumours start back up about Red Bull buying us.

If Pearson is the choice, keep messing about for as long as possible please. Preferably until after he's employed elsewhere.

I was very anti Pearson, mainly because he's a twat, but the more time runs on and the more other candidates get mooted, the more I think he's the right man for the current predicament.

Since when did having nice guys as our manager ever work?

1982 and 1996 for a start.

It's worked more times than the number of times employing mediocre managers has ever worked for us.

The last time we were relegated

Nice and bastard aren't really types of qualification. People saying he'll be bad because he's a psycho have no more evidence than those saying he'll be good because he's a psycho. It's all down to the football, and Pearson's record strikes me as okay but not spectacular.

I want someone a cross between Ron Saunders and Atkinson

[themossman]

Disagree a little bit. I think personality is vitally important at this stage. Given how deeply dysfunctional we are at all levels, we as a club are uniquely equipped to chew up any manager with less than flameproof self confidence. Even Sherwood ended up an arm waving loon. I don't necessarily think that means a bully or door slammer but a big personality is arguably more important than tactical nous for our next manager.

Sherwood Would consider Aston Villa Return
