Next manager?

[themossman]

Terry makes most sense of the non manager options. But it feels a bit like the kind of overly convenient option we should be avoiding.

I’ve gone for A N Other just to appear knowledgeable when somebody only the football hipsters have ever heard of is appointed and I can pretend it’s who I voted for.

Citeh/ zorro mask thing is about the limit of my knowledge. An 80% win rate is impressive but presumably the Ukrainian league makes the SPL look unpredictable.

That’s the Ukrainian League.

Nigel Pearson.  We have not had any players strangled for ages.  He can start with Bunn.

I rated Pearson quite highly for quite a while but I suspect he is one of many managers who have 'had their day'. Curbishley is another one like that despite doing excellently at Charlton and I think Moyes is maybe a candidate to add to that list, although he did seem to do a reasonable short term job at West Ham.

Japp Stam should be considered at least

[PeterWithe]

He is the only manager ever to have a wine named after him.  Cheersh.

Malbec Allison?

[themossman]

Seen Fonseca cropping up a few times on Twitter this evening. Anyone know anything substantial about him?

104 games in charge at Shakhtar and won 80 of them, that’ll do.

2-0 up away in champions league come back by Lyon and were held 2-2 .

Maybe Paulo was watching events at villa park second half ?

Didn’t Glenn Whelan miss a penalty in that game?

Japp Stam should be considered at least

For what reason?
God no

[PeterWithesShin]

Japp Stam should be considered at least

Did we sack the bin man as well today?

[PaulWinch again]

Japp Stam should be considered at least

Why?

[Dante Lavelli]

I’d be surprised if it was anyone but John Terry, although them shoeing out all the backroom staff would undermine that belief.

The fact that they've got rid of the lot suggests they know their man and that he'll be bringing his buddies, otherwise we are going to be severely short staffed for a while.

[PeterWithe]

Likely to be someone not working then

Quite. Unless they're turning up tomorrow who's taking training?! We all know how (in)competent KMac is - even if you assume Calderwood did fuck all, KMac can't do the job of the other four.

I’ve gone Rodgers as I think he’d do a good job and if we didn’t go up this season I’d think he’d have a good plan for next. Ranieri would be next then Fonseca.

[footyskillz]

I'm figuring these will be the 12 most popular/likely, all good?

Terry
Fonseca
Smith
Rodgers
Arteta
Ranieri
Allardyce
Kinky Flores
Henry
Moyes
Carvahal
Benitez

Could we include sol campbell or maybe Dwight Yorke
I'm one for the Rooney rule and including one black , Asian or minority ethnic is only fair
