Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[PhilVill]

Well, can safely say that's me told! 😅

[Skerra]

With the fixtures we have coming up in December we will need someone who can work miracles and I don’t mean Jesus from Man City!

[Lastfootstamper]

In the position we now find ourselves, we all know there's only one man for the job...

[Goldenballs]

Top of my list would be Rodgers. But depressingly probably pretty far out of our reach.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like I was having a go at you, I just don't like him. 🙂

Roy Hodgson is the stand out candidate to see us through until the summer. Safe pair of hands who will be respected by the players. Solid job at Crystal Palace and has a great CV

[The Man With A Stick]

Would much rather have Terry than either Lampard or Gerrard, but we can do a lot better than either.

A big, fat "NO" to anyone with Old Firm connections, we should have learnt our lesson by now.

I disagreed with the decision to fire Deano, but whats done is done.

This is a huge moment for the owners. They cannot afford to go short term - and they cannot afford to give the job to a novice - if their ambitions are truly as they have said, now is the time to dig deep and bring in a manager who plays the right football, and has genuine European league experience.

Dyche, Terry, Howe, Lampard - please NO. Not saying they are not good managers but none of them tick the box based on the owners ambitions.





You have to believe they are close to an appointment given Purslow's comments.

He’d keep us right on to the end of the road.

Only issue with that is we'd then be looking for another manager next summer as whatever way it's spun a manager coming up to his mid 70s now is no way a long term option.

I'd rather just get one in now who's more than capable of pushing us back into mid table pack and he also has six months to assess squad instead of having to do all that next summer which we'd have to do in that scenario.

Hey, no bother cd, all part of the banter. I'm sure whoever gets the job will have fans and non fans in equal measure!

It might be a good idea if you took some time away from here. About a hundeed years should be enough.

I don’t get the hate for Steven Gerrard. He’s done very well in Scotland. I don’t know if he’s yet ready for PL football, and personally I hope right now we aim much higher and established in Europe. But at some point he will get a chance at this level and I think he’ll do well.

Remember Houllier at Anfield, I reckon with him it’ll 10 times as bad.

It was the reaction of Houllier lording it that peed everyone else. Gerrard would be a bit more professional

FFS, he'll still be back in time to find a reason to criticise our next FA Cup triumph, then.

Of all the ex-'golden generation' alumni, I think I'd have Gerrard.  I don't know why, I just think out of all of them he might actually be a decent manager long term.  But I'd much, much prefer an established manager with a great track record in a proper league.
