Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

I'd be happy enough with Martinez.

[Fred Crump]

For some reason I had the idea that AVB was a bit of a flop in England, but having looked at his record he has done well virtually everywhere he’s been. I’d be happy with him.

[PaulWinch again]

Defence always was Martinez’s weakness, so if he could deal with that issue he might be good.

Went to Chelsea and completely rubbed all the players up the wrong way to the point where they didn't want to play for him.

It's a small sample, but there seems to be a clear pattern to who we wouldn't mind (none of whom are unrealistic) and those we don't want anywhere fucking near us.

Can someone chuck a link up on Twitter to the club and ask them to pass it on to Purslow before he does something stupid?

[KRS]

This is exactly why I’m not paying any attention to the media or social media, and I really don’t understand why anyone is panicking about any of the names doing the rounds. The powers that be sacked DS yesterday…let me repeat YESTERDAY! They will identify their targets, make a short list, make approaches, conduct interviews and appoint who they think is the right man to take us forward…you can all officially panic if they actually appoint Gerrard. Until then I advise anyone who has a tendency to be overly dramatic and believe any shit they see in the media or on social media to have a media blackout for the sake of your own mental health.

Nah, son of Mourinho so old school

The thing with Dean was he came with the very reputation for football we want yet again. High press, possession football, don’t care who we are playing. Precisely the same as TSM2 at Norwich with far inferior players. And yet both ultimately failed to do that with us. We saw it at times of course. Lambert had us playing some great stuff as did Dean. But what the fuck happens when they get here? Is the club just so big that it sucks the courage right out of them?

Lambert had us showing glimpses of some great stuff until that horrific Christmas period spooked him

[Fred Crump]

Ah, that was probably it. I do remember him being a cocky guy now you mention it. I wonder if he has had the edges knocked off him over the years ?

I've said it before, but we should burn Bodymoor Heath to the ground. It just ruins players and coaches alike. I mean, look at Bailey. Pretty much his first full week of training and the exciting skillful player we signed had turned into Charles N'Zogbia.

[ChicagoLion]

Stevieme would be a very lazy appointment and would show Purslows limitations.

Er, so did Dean?!? Although we lost 3-0 to Chelsea earlier this season, quite honestly we played them off the park, but then it went downhill from there.  Results kill confidence

He had more u-turns than the road up Mont Blanc, by the end he hadn't the credibility to make anything happen.

Get a hold of yourselves. Martinez is rubbish. On the basis he did ok at Everton (11th twice) it makes Koeman look good.

You would have to impose a defence coach on him to stand any chance at all.

[steamer]

I hate this time of being a fan, underwhelmed by most of the names
Martinez was not popular at Everton
He failed to win anything with Belgian " Golden generation "
Non of the British names inspire me and god forbid Steevie
It is when you start dreading who could be your worst nightmare, we have been through this with the Scottish one and Bruce
