Next manager?

[dicedlam]

I read somewhere that the reason Faria quit Man Utd was that he wanted to spend more time with his family? The basket case we are would not allow for that surely?

[Drummond]

The whole backroom staff are Bruce appointments. (Agnew aside perhaps) so makes sense that they go. Plus they were shit.

We need a whole new way forward.

One thing that struck me was we didn't just bin Bruce, we binned his entire staff at the same time.

I wonder if that suggests firstly that we've had someone lined up, and secondly that they've got their own staff lined up?

It sounds to me that whoever the manager they are targeting could call on there coaching staff immediately.
This unsettles me a little when you think who could do this. The main culprits who spring to mind is Allardyce with the likes of Sammy Lee. Moyes to persuade Phil Neville to leave the England women's set up.

Would like to see Wenger as DOF & Henry as head coach.

I’d be blown away if Wenger was involved in some way of another.

Place your bets on Faria and Terry .......let's just say , it's more than just a hunch

I just think whoever it is, they're not going to want to work with that idiot Calderwood and Stephen "the most punchable face in football" Clemence.

True, but wasn't Wagner Klopps assistant and he's done pretty well. I think sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, my new preference list based on rumours..
1. Wenger DOF, Henry Manager
2. Rafa
3. Faria Manager, Terry Player/Assistant
4. Rogers
5. Fonseca

I woundn't be too disappointed with the most likely option of just Henry coming in as manger on his own but any of the options above would be preferable.

Didn't Wagner take Huddersfield up via a play off penalty shoot out after finishing sixth with a negative goal difference? Then just about keep them up last season with very few goals scored and that trend continuing into this season? If we appointed Wagner it seems we would be hoping to scrape our way up through the play offs and then just about survive if we did go up, all the while playing negative football. Basically the same plan we would have had if we had kept Bruce.

Could be a convenient excuse?

Just as well, since neither are associated with this great club anymore.

I felt exactly that. It appeared that they had identified the new man, contacted them and ascertained that he wanted his own men brought in. The top managers like SGT, BFR and Brian Little all brought in their own backroom team.

I can't find it but I'm sure a quote from KMac went along the lines of "...they advised me that they had got rid of Bruce and his team".

Hardly the words of someone who was sorry to see them go (assuming he did say something along those lines).

I want whoever the new manager is to completely rid the club of all its negativity. The place has had a foul stench for years. Even if this includes ex Villa players.

A total clearout from top to bottom.

[Toronto Villa]

Did I imagine it or did someone say the other week that the new guy is going to be at today's game? Or that his agent is?

You watch everyone shit themselves when the camera pans to the crowd and Terry Hurlock or Brian Horne is spotted.
