Next manager?

[Chris Smith]

I'd like Howe or Dyche. I don't think we'd get them.
Second choice would be Arteta or Rodgers.

Sadly, I dont think anything will happen till a CEO is appointed.

I don’t agree on the ‘sadly’. The relationship between manager and CEO is surely key and appointments need to be made top down to enable a way forward to be agreed.

Yup, agree. If we're going to do it, let's do it properly.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Let's just hope the new CEO is currently serving his notice and will be officially appointed on the 1st of September. I'd assume whoever he is, he's been watching our recent games and understands what is holding us back.

I'm almost beginning to think the club isn't right for anyone. Since MOM left - the last time we had any semblence of success - everyone has been an unmitigated disaster. Shit, even MON was a disaster.

Christ I'd quite like the disaster of 3 consecutive top 6 PL finishes !

With hindsight, in my opinion, MON was the start of the decline. He binned a lot of promising youngsters (see how many of them went on to build careers elsewhere - Steven Davis and Gary Cahill stand out) and replaced them with old/high wage players. Plus the downturn in our home form started then; he turned us into a counter-attacking team that did well away but struggled when expected to drive the game at home. The league placing was good - as was were the cup runs - but when he left, he left us in the sh**t.

[mr underhill]

my thoughts too. Here's one left field candidate : Ralph Hansenhuttl. Good progressive coach imo

What about Jermaine Beckford?

[GarTomas]

Benni McCarthy?

[KevinGage]

Izzy Wuzzit.

[Steve67]

Dyche is boring and functional and has Burnley punching above their weight but if he went to a bigger club, I reckon he would flop. 

[eamonn]

And he still hasn't got rid of that cough.

[The Moose]

A couple of weeks and The Special One will be available...now that would be interesting.

[Matt Collins]

I know you're joking but there will be people calling for us to get him

As they were with Thomas Tuchel a year ago

I've heard it said that a good manager is someone who leaves a club in a better state than when they found it. By that definition, MON failed - as so many others have.

I want a manager that’s goes for the throat for 90mins.

You mean Nigel Pearson?
