wasn't that how we scouted players a few years ago when our head scout lived in Oz?

I love the thought that we are a club where a manager can learn on the job.We've had a few owners in that category .It's all gone swimmingly  so far.

My lad asked me who our next manager might be yesterday.

It might be the utter deflation of our situation, but I admitted I honestly didnt know.

Not a clue!

The manager is the most important person at a club. He has to be charismatic, the leader, motivational and quick thinking. 

A good manager can make a team be more than the sum of their parts and can get average players to perform above themselves.

Smith has been none of those things. He has come across as a lovely man with potential who just wasn't ready for the premier league. The problem for this club is that the powers that be at the club didn't think this was a problem and that's my worry long term.

Smith would have to get off to a flier to last past October. The fear is we'd do our usual trick of looking at the Bruce's of this world. Mr. Promotion in other words. Moyes will probably be binned by then or failing that Pullis.

There must be a Portuguese chap floating about that can put a team together.

Sean Dyche please. No fucking about. Offer him double his money and some proceeds from the inevitable sales and he’ll get us up first time of asking.

The obvious one is Sergio Conceição, Porto's current Coach. Similar experience to Nuno ES and I think his contract is up this month. Only problem is I can't see him wanting to manage a club, even a club of our size, in the Championship.

Surely we can convince Benitez to come, given the money that could be available.
