Next manager?

[villadelph]

Go get Brendan Rodgers, Celtic lost again and managing there is a hollow trophy anyways.

I think Conte will settle for nothing less than a role at a chimps league club

The only way Allardyce would be even remotely acceptable for me would be a set of exact circumstances. The club knows exactly the direction it wants long term and has a shortlist of managers to do that but know none of them will be available until the summer. Allardyce is told without a shadow of a doubt he is only here this season, maybe put in a bonus of X million for promotion as an incentive to give it his all. That way he'd, hopefully, be focused on winning games and not be as safety first as he was at Everton as he'll get feck all bonus if he draws his way to 9th with us.

Ideally we'd go straight to the long term option, but if that isn't viable right now then i'd honestly take Allardyce just for this season over another game with Bullshitter Bruce in charge.

John Terry, player manager.

‘John Terry’s Aston Villa’. No thanks.

[Marton]

Olof Mellberg (If the owners know who that is).

I'm sorry, was that a serious suggestion somewhere?!?

The thing with Allardyce as detestable as he can come across he’d show up Bruce for the wanker and dinosaur he is by taking us up. He’s not really failed at club level wherever he’s been and the variety of challenges put in front of him. He’s taken teams up, he’s kept teams up and he’s turned clubs around. But I wouldn’t want him long term either and I would hope we would find a long term option.

The best available seems to be Conte, so go for him. If Leeds can get Bielsa there's no reason why we shouldn't be ambutious.

Even if he's waiting a month or two for the Inter Milan job to become available?

.

Serie A is shite. He would be far better off if he got us in the Premier League.

[SoccerHQ]

Nah don't want Conte, Mourinho will be available in a few weeks...

[cdbearsfan]

I don't want that negative bellend, thanks. Also, I don't want to wait a few weeks.

Message to NSWE: Please install Dean Smith as the new Manager in time for next Friday's game at Bristol City....

[cdbearsfan]

Please don't. He's achieved fuck all.

[Rudy65]

Please don't. He's achieved fuck all.

Agreed. I don’t get the love in for DS

[cdbearsfan]

People seem to think he's done amazingly to keep little old Brentford afloat. Even though they made the playoffs under Warburton.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Whoever we go for I really hope the Club are investing time and money to find the right person. There's plenty of talented managers out there, we just need one. Marco Rose would be one I'd add to the list.
