Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

Expecting an announcement tomorrow.

Where did you get that info from mate

Pure speculation - Matt law says appointment imminent on the basis that Shakespeare has gone.

Genuine question…why is there such negativity towards Nuno? When he was Wolves manager, I couldn’t bring myself to dislike him as he always came over well and though he had them playing good football (not that I watched them much at all). Would he really be that bad an option?

Three words K, 'five', 'three' and 'two'.

Holy fucking shit. I didn't even know that. Just say NuNO!

[Monty]

Nuno is ultra-passive, like Mourinho's even more terrified tribute act.

[Scovilla]

Favre would be great. He made Nice play very good football during his time in France.

[Proposition Joe]

Don't know. It might be because I liked Smith so much but not one realistic name mentioned so far has made me feel any kind of excitement. 

100% with you here. The names listed in that Telegraph article are like, none of the above please.

Maybe if we re-signed Dean the new manager bounce will get us out of the slump and back up and running again.

Seems like guesswork. Sure we have often sacked manager and assistant in one go, and it doesn't always signify a speedy appointment. If the Telegraph, ie the paper that Law actually works for, are correct, our main two candidates are both employed so the chances of announcing one of them so quickly would be very slim. Though we sorted it out with Brentford pretty quickly, I suppose.

He *chooses* to play like that, not even in an enforced "aargh, I can't choose between my two forwards, and the wingers are injured anyway" emergency sitaution sort of thing. He actually likes 5-3-2, and thinks it's better than 4-3-3. I'd drive up to Glasgow myself to get Stevie Mee if it was a choice between him and Nuno.

[Sexual Ealing]

From the minuscule amount that I know about our options, I'm leaning towards Favre.

Welcome, Roy Hodgson!

[enigma]

Potter would be near the top of my list but - and this is where I'll get laughed at - I wouldn't have complained if it had been Chris Wilder but he's currently kicking himself for taking the boro job. He'd do a better job than Koeman who I've seen mentioned anyway.

Sky Sports understands that there’s no one lined up to take the job.

[TonyD]

Looking at how the team spirit imploded - I think the team knew the owners have been on  the hunt since the West Ham game.

So a new appointment could be tomorrow as they have had a week.

[Dave P]

Sky Sports know fuck all about us as the Ings signing proved.

As soon as I heard Shakespeare  had gone rightly or wrongly I immediately thought that would mean we had an appointment imminent.

[Flamingo Lane]

Not advocating it, but my money would be on Frank Lampard, given (a) his profile (b) his experience, fwiww, at Chelsea (c) his willingness to develop home grown youngsters and (d) I reckon Lampard would be keen as mustard to get the job with us, and is available tomorrow, or today for that matter.

[Skerra]

Oh, and while we’re changing things, can we please get rid of that funeral music the players come out to. Get something really upbeat to get the players and fans going.
