Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[Diablo]

Frank De Boer?

[JUAN PABLO]

Lambert?? ffs

whats graham Turner up to

[Ian.]

In the last 10 years of football management Allardyce has a 36% win ratio. Am I missing something?

I certainly don't want him. I was just joining in FranzB's thought experiment.

There is always a list that however bad it is I wouldn't want them here. That list will have Warnock, Pullis, Pardew, Harry and Fat Sam on it. Oh and now Tim, as his name keeps resurfacing.

Someone dismissed my shout of Stam based on "reading aren't so good at the moment" though they use far harder language.

However that's a silly comment as stam proved last season along can organise a team and get them in play offs. A penalty kick away and he would being touted more than David Wangnor who is Huddersfield boss , around not just premier league but  European as the bat manager up and coming !

Stam quality and would be far more suitable to what we want to do that Bruce or much of the other listed on here.

This is by far best solution and also a very good suggestion if I do say myself.

I can imagine with the way Stam plays there would be a couple of large problems - the crowd & the fact only one of back four is comfortable with the ball.

After about the 4th pass across the back four going nowhere would generate a murmur of discontent by the 10th Stam would have earfulls of 'get it forward' yelled at him.

You need a back four & goalkeeper who are all happy to have the ball at their feet - we have a Terry who can and a bunch of others for whom the ball is a grenade.

I really wanted Reading to go up just to see how long they could survive with that tactic against the better players...not long would be my guess!

Plus....he actually thinks Bacuna is a good player!

He might turn out a great coach who knows but if he came in here tomorrow he couldn't get players to play his way until January

I guess I'll get ridiculed for suggesting it but if West Ham are rumoured to be ready to try and tempt FSW as a replacement for Bilic,  why shouldn't we have ago at tempting him by promising him some proper transfer funds if he gets us up?

Tempting who? Bilic? And I give up. Who is FSW?

Sorry as Passitsideways said it's "Fat Spanish Waiter" Benitez, and I was suggesting tempting him, not Bilic.  Although the latter would be better than Bruce or Moyes and quite a few others on the list.

wow i could have written that you been peaking at my not at any price list
Bruce was on it as well so every chance we will be disappointed with the next great hope

I thought Bruce was going to be a safe pair of hands. Oh wouldn't it be nice if the next manager can come in, establish an exciting system with the players we have so we don't have to "rebuild" and go again.

[paulcomben]

Martin O'Neill is close to the end of this job with Eire not qualifying.

[Dante Lavelli]

With regards to the "rebuild" bit, I actually think the club/Round need to take responsibility here.  RDM to Bruce, for example, suggests no 'identity' has been established and the whole system must be defined by the manager.  It's nuts.

[TonyD]

Can we add Legion to the list please?

[Villa75]

Can we add, 'A potato on a stick', please?

[ROBBO]

How many of the managers polled are a remote possibility?

[TonyD]

I have always liked Rodgers.  But no chance he is going to leave the cushiest job in world football to join our cause.

[Matt Collins]

Well, just look at the bars. Of those with the most votes:

Bielsa, Fat Sam, Dyche, Tuchel and Wagner should be deleted as there's zero chance

Dean Smith is building a good career but is currently bottom of the league with no wins, has never played or managed at a big club, and I don't think has ever finished above ninth as a manager

Jokanovic would be the best candidate but I can't see why he'd come

Mellberg is a manager in the Swedish second division who wouldn't be on the list if he wasn't  a former villa player

[mr underhill]

the Villa gig would destroy Dean Smith.
