Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[JUAN PABLO]

bumped into a good manager today while shopping in Selfridges ( the primark bit ) in Brum

should have gone and got  him instead of Bruce

Craig Shakespeare

Track record as a manager?

100%   baggies

There are two Sean Dyche options.

Where's Dr Jo?

[AV5nobs]

Too many in jobs to consider us.

Some of the options are completely unrealistic, but I like that. It shows the direction fans want. I proudly tagged Bielsa even though I know we cant get him, but thats the KIND of manager I want.

Dunno what you mean guv.

Option 1 we appoint him.

Option 2 we don't.

Obvs.

So as that explains how I missed Dean Smith by adding Sean Dyce twice, Phillip Cocu is now an option for Paul!

There isn't a football manager on the planet capable of bossing Terry, Richards and Gabby. Not how I imagine they strut around BMH anyway. Can we add Don Vito Corleone?

Thank you sir, now voted.

I think he's unlikely but he's a more reasonable fantasy option because there's every chance he could be tempted by a good offer, I'm not sure if we can provide that though.

As well as the current fetish for Dortmund assistants who want the main job, appointing a Portuguese manager/ head coach now seems to be more of a thing in British football.

Rudy Can't Fail might be better placed than most to answer this one, but who over there has been overlooked and might be vaguely realistic?

Only one I know anything about is Paulo Sousa, who was let go by Fiorentina in June.  Had an indifferent spell in England at the start of his managerial career, but looks like he has improved since then.

Pep Clotet,the Spaniard in charge of Oxford,who worked with Garry Monk at Swansea ,or Uwe Rosler,now in charge of Fleetwood ,who adopts a pressing game similar to Klopp's.
Either would be gettable and a big upgrade on Bruce if the Fulham boss was unavailable.
Yes,they are from lower divisions but they have both had experience of the top division in England.Rosler as a player at Man City.

Riskier did well at Brentford, but then did poorly at both Wigan and Leeds.

[robleflaneur]

Rosler got Fleetwood to 4th in League 1 last year,a remarkable achievement.He was unsuccesful at Leeds but was only given a few months there and until Monk arrived ,no manager had much joy there and telling that Monk jumped ship at the end of the season.
He got Wigan to the play offs in his first season but experienced problems the next year and was quickly got rid of and likewise Wigan have proved a difficult case to turn round.

There are very few British or Irish coaches I would welcome, due to the fact most of them are either very unproven or are "proper football men" dinosaurs with little clue about modern tactics  and game management.   Sean Dyche ? signed Driftwood for £5m, nuff said, clearly clueless. Exceptions for me are Eddie Howe, and maybe Chris Hughton.  Otherwise  I'd always prefer someone who has shown some pedigree in the more tactically based Spanish or Italian leagues.
