Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[paul_e]

I'm pretty sure Allardyce will manage again, once he's had a break from the game. How long that break lasts depends on the offers he gets, a bit like MON before he came here.

I used to really dislike him but would now accept him as I think the job wouldn't overwhelm him and he'd get us up.  The last two seasons he's joined clubs mid season and done enough in that time to salvage the season. As say a two year option, he'd do for me.

He's done enough to save teams from relegation, that's a totally different job to earning a team promotion.  What Bruce is doing with us could be effective if that was the aim, but to get promotion you have to win games and there is nothing in Fat Sam's record ever to suggest he's capable of the long sequences of winning football we'd need.

Allardyce has a 36% win ratio in the last 10 years.

No thanks.

He got promoted through the playoffs back in 2012 with West Ham, who had the best squad in the league that season, but even that might be a tall order at this point.

Still haven't heard a reason why he'd bother with us though instead of staying in retirement.

I believe Alladyce has got two promotions, one with Bolton and one with West Ham...?

Been a while ago but he has done it. I know there was a lot of ridicule on here when Pulis was suggested at the time of Sherwood. I think most of us would have been happy if he'd got us top half like he has with Albion, especially as Lerner was still here at that point.

My first choice would be Wagner, and give him plenty of time, but that's not going to happen at the moment. For the situation we have as a club right now I think Alladyce would be as good as most realistic targets even though I think he's a twat!

He's retired. Not sure how many other times I need to explain this?

If he wanted to work in management, he would still be managing Palace. If he had had a change of heart since managing Palace, he would have gone back there when they sacked his replacement this week.

He has retired.

Banging. Head. Brick. Wall.

Are you his official spokesman?

If so I think you should make yourself a bit clearer, as you're leaving people guessing a bit.

Quite impressive that you know exactly what goes on in his mind.

Its a big no to the fat Yam Yam from me.

I'd happily do it, if it means shit like Bruce and Allardyce not being our manager for a moment longer.

[Clark W Griswold]

Ok, you bang your head repeatedly against the wall, real hard mind, and Villa sack Bruce and nick Wagner off Huddersfield. Sounds like a win, win, win to me.

The Fulham Serbian fellow appears to be having a mince old time of it, especially considering they just needed the title handing to them now.

He won't be coming here anyway, I've spoken to him on one of them fancy mind communication things like they had in Flash Gordon, and he's not interested so you can forget that one.

Leeds seemed to have done some searching and found what appears to be a decent manager who was unknown to most.  Also Hull found Silva so tbey are out there.  We don't have to go down the Moyes, Pardew,Allardyce route.
