Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[Skerra]

I think they’ve already got the new manager but, leaving the announcement until things have died down for Dean. Let’s just hope it’s someone that can attract big players to the club.
As far as DS is concerned, I really wished it would work out for him but, since the new season started it seems the football we are playing has got gradually worse. At least he goes with our blessings but, would be surprised if another PL team appoint him. Just look at our upcoming fixtures, particularly in December, it would all have got a bit toxic so, glad he’s gone now because of that.

Point of order: neither Gerrard nor Callum Davidson have ever managed in the SPL.

I think Nuno would be a decent shout. He built the best Wolves side since the 70s and they only stopped progressing when he lost Jota and then Jimenez. His teams are well organised and very good on the break, which would suit us I think. He was set up to fail at Spurs.

So a manager that does well until his main player gets injured then falls apart? Hmmm... what about that bloke Dean Smith?

Jimenez was out for way longer last season, pretty sure he got injured around this time 12 months back.

Wouldn't be my first choice but with his managerial experience in last 5-6 years someone we shouldn't discount if they're interested in the job.

Gerrard beats up DJs for not playing Phil Collins….Phil Collins!

If it was Dick Dale and The Deltones, yes.

But Phil Collins.

A No from me.

Nuno Espirito Santo would be above Frank Terrard but still a fairly bland appointment imo.

Let's get someone amazing, for once, please.

And Wolves didn’t try to replace Jiminez. We spent £100m.

Ronald Koeman has won 6 major trophies as a manager. He also got sacked by Palace after five games.

One of those sentences is true.....

[Skerra]

Koeman would be a bit of a statement signing but, Nuno being available seems to me to be the one that they’ve already spoken to. Not quite who I would have on my wish list but, better than a lot of the names being touted around.

Ha ha ha have the same feeling about Collins … but tbh the rest of Gerrard’s behaviour has been pretty exemplary and does seem a total one-off … but yeah, Collins, it does nag at me…

Personally I think we should get someone in for 7months because none of names at the moment inspire me to throw 3 year contracts at them. In May we'd be in a much better position to persuade a good candidate to come (providing we stay up)

We will be a laughing stock if we appoint any of the golden generation.

I don't see the point of that tbh. We get in Hodgson for 6 months who's more than capable of getting us up to 11th or 12th and then have to start process all again in the summer.

At least now a new manager has six months to properly assess squad rather than have to do it in the summer.

The trouble is, we would have an even less inspiring list to choose from if we are only giving them until the end of the season. Get the best man you can now, and if they turn out not to be amazing, we can always get someone better in the summer. The ten million or so it costs to get rid of a manager is peanuts, really, when you think about it.

yeah but with the names we're being linked to are we gonna get a guy who gets us up to mid-table with new manager bounce, and then gradually turns to crap over the next 2 years. The wrong guy finishing 10th this summer with a 3 year contract wouldn't get the sack. Some guy with a 7th month contract - thanks for finishing 10th, bye

Looks like Ranieri will be available shortly as Watford normally sack their manager if they lose 2 games on the trot.😂
