The more I think about it, the more I think Smith is the best option for where we are right now.
Our biggest problem is time and lack of it.
We can’t afford to invest the time on a massive gamble with a rookie manager.
We probably can’t afford for a foreign coach to come in and get to grips with the club, the players, and the championship.

Right now we need a very hard working manager. It doesn't matter what their nationality is providing they can turn it around quickly. That will take some serious dedication.

Smith, Rodgers or, yes I know I said he is a dour twat, but for the position we find ourselves in, Moyes. In that order.  Smith is now my first choice as I think he will build us up, play decent football.  I think the others appointments to other positions are also as important to get done.  I honestly don't think this is the time for a novice, let someone else take a chance on them.  Top to bottom review of the club and the coaches, including KMAC.

We need someone to come in and do a Gregory in terms of immediate results.  The trouble is, we just don't have a squad capable of that.

Benítez showed that a good manager is a good manager, championship or not. And I think we need someone whose stature is such that they can put this bunch of shitty attitude, underperforming arsehole players in their place. Someone who has been used to bigger and better things, not necessarily as a manager. For example I’d love to see how Grealish handled Henry, who has a billion times more ability than him.

They'd better get it right because I'm sure sure Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland probably thought they would never end up in League One either.

Well it won't be hard to improve on that.

Fucking good luck whoever it is. 20 goals conceded so far, disgraceful.

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

Is an inkling more than a hunch? A rumour? A friend of a friend?
We shall soon find out (hopefully)

Is this really the time for a couple of novices?  Huge gamble but if it comes off, fair enough.  I'd like to know what Faria's credentials are though.

I still don't see why people think Moyes would sort us out. Nor Allardyce. What do people think we've got that could be used to their strengths?

Said it in the post match thread but I’ve changed my mind. I did want a young hungry manager in the Henry, Smith mould but after sitting through that shit, I think we need to go down another route.

I think with moyes we may get the so called new manager boost but medium to long term can’t see glitter with the ginger one

Just said the same in some other thread. Today makes me think we’d ruin a good young manager let’s just get fat Sam and admit we’re a shambles.

And waste how much longer treading water ?

We're not going up this season, that's already a given. And as we don't have money to spend next summer or even in January, the last thing we need are older cheque book managers that need to sign players rather than develop/work with what we already have IMHO

Give it someone willing to actually work with what we have and develop from there
