Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[Gareth]

Benitez, Hughton & Wagner....none of them had promotion from the Championship on their CV before last season....it's not a pre-requisite to getting up!

Hughton did. He got Newcastle up.

So he did - I'll get my coat :-)

[aj2k77]

Point is still valid.

The top 6 were

Benitez
Hughton
Stam
Carvalhal
Wagner
Jokanovic

Bruce has more promotions than all those added together. This much lauded championship experience is bollocks. A good manager is a good manager.

[Monty]

Also none of them play long ball. The closest to doing so, Benitez and Hughton, still do lots of careful preparation and swap their tactics around game to game. The way to go up in this division isn't brainless mesozoic hoofing, it's being modern and smart.

[aj2k77]

The club as a whole are about as modern as a pair of Jack Duckworths shoes.

We've been behind the times with everything, desperately trying to catch up with a raft of ideas whilst masking over ineffectiveness with huge dollops of money.

I don't think you'd find a manager who would look at our squad and not think he'd get us up automatically.

If he's seen them play I doubt that

I don't think you'd find a manager who would look at our team playing and not think he could get them winning.

I've got more of these, we can go all day.

If Bruce is sacked, then he will have failed and it wont be because of lack of quality, we have more in every department than just about everybody else, it will an inability to display that quality consistently to win.

Do you think Bruce can turn this round and get us winning consistently?

[levico]

Come to the conclusion that it would be preferable to have a manager who is attack minded. I'd rather see us losing 3-4 but with attractive exciting football. Pretty sure we still end up higher in the league than Bruce will achieve.

I hope so. He's got the players and the opportunity. If he fails then he will be sacked.

[ROBBO]

Ads is right there is nothing wrong with the quality of player for this division, Bruce lack of tactics and the inability to find a working forward structure is glaring, then there is Gabby.

Indeed. The disappointing thing is that after only 2 games it feels like 'when' not 'if'. Then the most concerning thing for me is I can't think who could greatly improve us if Jokanovic turned us down (if we were even smart enough to go for him first).

[aj2k77]

Round will go for Moyes.

Jap Staam just bought Bacuna, that would go down well!

Isn't it obvious?! We've already got Stam lined up! It's the only explanation! And may I be the first to congratulate the board on a terrific example of innovative, forward planning. Cue a draw tomorrow night (well, they couldn't make it that obvious....), Bruce out on Wednesday morning and Jaap to turn up to a Bacuna-free squad and an extra £3 million to spend.

Well played, Tony, well played.
