Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[cdbearsfan]

Plenty of teams have thrived appointing a manager without Premier League experience mid-season. Just get the best person for the job, whether they're from Birmingham or Brazil.

[Gary Penrice]

The list is somewhat underwhelming! I've no idea who I'd want to replace Deano. As stated earlier though,who we get will show how how ambitious the owners are!

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Yes, Vieira appears to be doing well for Palace, but an appointment like that is like buying a lottery ticket rather than a pension policy. We're above all that.

It’s all a lottery, you can appoint someone with an unsurpassed CV and it just might not happen for a variety of reasons.

If we’re going for a proven manager but with plenty of big game experience, brings through youth, tactically astute but still with something to prove and on an upward curve it’d be Marcello Gallardo.

Edit. It won’t be him but he’ll be at a big European club soon.

What does Percy say?

Gerrard

Or Hasenhuttl.

Wonder who we will lose 9-0 to?

Southampton

[Brazilian Villain]

What formation does Gerrard play at Rangers?

I believe their preferred option is 1-8-0-1.

We're supposed to be after a manager nailed on better than Smith. Gerrard would be Billy Mcneil replacing Turner all over again.

I find that insulting to Dean. Dean is much much better than Turner ever was.

He's better than Mcneil too. The point is you bring in someone better when you sack a manager

[RamboandBruno]

Gerrard is managing in the equivalent of mid-table Championship level.  He's also in a two horse race with a broken Celtic and has only been in the Scottish Prem for what, two seasons?  It would be a massive gamble by Purslow and Villa to take him.  Other than a bit of European experience, Gerrard is in no way ready to come to the Premier Division in England.  Surely, Christian Purslow isn't that daft and NSWE would want a more experienced man in charge.

Loads of owners/CEOs are seduced by big name players. NSWE originally wanted Henry and that would've been a disaster.

Reminds me of years back when Boro got in Bryan Robson. Was a buzz about them for a few years signing Ravanelli and Juninho and getting to those cup finals but all fizzled out in the end and he didn't do much elsewhere as a manager, was apparently too soft from what I read in one of Paul Merson's books compared to likes of Wenger.

Your right, our owners wouldnt of had a clue who Dean Smith was, it seemed like they wanted the razzmatazz of Henry, it would of been a car crash so praise must go to Purslow there.
This time i guess it will be Purslow and Lange rather than the owners having anything to do with it.  Hopefully it will be quick as days of debating the potential of Stevie G as our manager could be quite depressing.

Gotta be worth a couple of quid.

His contract is up in December so he is definitely off somewhere.

[Des Little]

For me, this needs to be a ‘wow’ signing, otherwise the credentials of Purslow, Lange will be called to question. It’s a massive call.

[sickbeggar]

Rather have Hasslehoff than Hasenhuttl. Dreary dull football, Presumably will get the gig because he can make Ings work out. Can't see any other reason to employ him.

Could be Kasper Hjulmand after all then, if Lange know and gets on with him well enough.

Yes but that’s just the list that is media driven versus who could be on the actual list. Managing in the PL is a massive achievement so agents will present names who are currently employed as well as those that aren’t. There will be no shortage of interest in come to B6.

[nigel]

If we’re looking for a manager with top PL experience, top European experience and I’m guessing South American experience I reckon Pellagrini would be gettable from Betis

[Toronto Villa]

Pellegrini? Hell no
