[Nastylee]

Karanka is my pick, the list of unemployed managers is depressing.

Good read.

Why do they have to be unemployed? We seem happy throwing millions at sub-standard players, why can't we invest some cash in securing a decent manager? Look at Benitez, no one thought he'd be at Newcastle but they made it happen and he got them sorted and won the league. I'm tired of chancing it on has been managers or rookies - Recruit some quality. Houllier was probably the last quality manager we had but it was the wrong time. Look at the list since then (it's embarrassing) and maybe you can see why we are where we are and how much have we paid out in contract settlements? That could have been used to get someone with pedigree.

Olof Melberg and new coaches, would Terry be a good choice as a coach?

[olaftab]

Terry is not a coach. He is a retired footballer living in a rest home at B6.

Which manager, with pedigree and in a job will come here? Rafa joined Newcastle in the Premier league.

Olof Melberg and new coaches, would Terry be a good choice as a coach?

Mellberg was a great player but he's done nothing to suggest he could manage a football club to success.

Our next manager must be capable of changing that attitude, make us better or bugger off elsewhere

I thought his record to date is quite impressive

[KRS]

I know he's not long joined Derby, but would Gary Rowett still be in anyones thoughts as he was held in quite high esteem when he was doing a good job for that lot? Having a third ex-Blose boss in recent history wouldn't sit well with some, but apparently he's only on a 2 year contract at Derby so I'd imagine the compensation pay off wouldn't be too extortionate.

Part time.

In which division?

[RussellC]

What about Jaap Stam?
He seems to have found his feet in this division.

I know this sounds silly after last night, but Reading are so boring to watch. Possession football obviously has its merits, but a more direct team would have but 4 or 5 past us last night. They seemed far too content to just move the ball aimlessly around the pitch for the first half. Not sure I could stomach watching that every week.

I don't trust managers who buy Bacuna

We could give Fernando Nelson a phone call to find out the next hot property from Portugal for Manager.

Would you trust a manager who buys Lowton and Westwood?

I bet you could "stomach" the season Stam had last year compared to what you've been watching since 2012! I could
