New manager- when will it happen?

[Nastylee]

Pearson is knob. No back room staff, a PR disaster in the media, and aside from a 7 game run hìs record is as uninspiring as the twats we've already got rid of.

[Chris Jameson]

In the circumstances I think we'd do very well to get Moyes, I'd be delighted with him especially if Pearson is the alternative.

[Boz]

If the credentials of Bevington as provided in the Daily Heil are any reflection of his abilities, I'm not sure this bloke will be advising us in the right direction.

Bevington was involved in the appointment of Roy Hodgson as England manager and would advise on a successor to Garde.

He has been working as advisor to Nottingham Forest


Not the greatest advert for success.

[AVH87]

I'm wondering if Chris Coleman could be a dark horse. Moyes has to be first choice, it's whether he'd take it.

[Monty]

I agree. What we need now is someone serious, sober, and not an unhinged maniac.

[Risso]

No love for Brenda Rodgers? He may be going back to Swansea, but he seems to tick a few boxes.

[glasses]

Gareth Southgate would be my early prediction.
Could keep on with the U21s.
Brian Little's Captain.
Ex Villa player. Seems a nice guy.


If Moyes wants it it's his though.

[Boz]

Despite all these football people involved at board level or as advisors, I see Lerner still has to approve the choice of manager. What's the point of paying these people and not accepting their advice. It's not as if Lerner has a great record to date for choosing his managers.

No, we need someone who can get us out of the second division at the first attempt. Character traits aren't important to me. We'd probably never have appointed Ron Saunders if we'd specified a certain type of personality to replace Vic Crowe. 

[TopDeck113]

Whoever it is, I would venture to suggest that this is the most important managerial appointment since the last time we were relegated.  Get this one wrong and the direction of the club for the next decade or so will be set.  The Championship (and below) is awash with so-called big clubs who through poor management from the boardroom level downwards have been out of the top flight for years.   

For me I think the man is Moyes.  But then again, I was lauding Lambert as the replacement for both MON and Houllier.  Shows how much I know...

I don't think a manager's personality is irrelevant to his chances of success. We need to restore sanity and grownupness, and the absolute last thing we need is an unstable 'character' having all sorts of rucks and brawls and meltdowns about the place.

[mr underhill]

so Moyes it is then

I seem to remember Moyes giving one of his Preston players a good hiding a few years ago. I'd still take him though. Like I say, all that matters is getting promotion next season.

Danny Brown wants MON back

I'm not telling him he's wrong

[Dave Cooper please]

Someone asked MO'N if he'd be interested in returning at his Ireland press conference tonight.  MO'N looked totally off guard and embarrassed.  He's out of contract in the summer - just sayin'!

What did he say?

Well I umm...errr..well..errr
*pushes glasses up bridge of nose*
uhm...errr.yes well no I errr...
