Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[LukeJames]

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.

Did you confuse him with 'The next big thing' Marco Silva, who was shit everywhere he went? I did that earlier.

Martinez would be the worst possible appointment,
He has no idea how to organize a defence, which is one of our biggest problems.

[LukeJames]

Do we know who is running training?

Macphee's currently got them seeing who can launch the ball the furthest over Spaghetti Junction.

But he has done a very good job with Belgium since,

Really? I think he's underachieved with a 'once in a generation' crop of players.

Still think France were stronger player for player at the last WC. Belgium did beat Brazil at least.

Lost to the eventual winners of the recent Euros too, with KdB playing on one leg, Hazard injured/unfit and a back 3 that had seen much better days.

how many of you after seeing the list now wish Smith was still at the helm

To be fair we need to acclimatize to the possibility of Stevie Me to soften the shock if it happens

Nope nor me, it had to happen. The new manager might not be on the lists doing the rounds!

One thing for sure, this next appointment is going to be extremely divisive. It’s obvious whoever is eventually given the job will have many fans vehemently opposed to their appointment.

It would be akin to DOL running across to Doug to give him the fist to the chest after a draw vs Stoke or whoever the fuck it was against

You're mixing up DOL celebrating a win at Small Heath (1-0, Kevin Phillips) with Alex McLeish punching the air after a 0-0 home draw with Stoke.

Won’t be divisive amongst fans if Gerard gets it as I think it’s pretty much unanimous in that regard

18 losses in 35 games just wasn't good enough. If he had found a way to grind our 4 or 5 draws from those defeats he would still be in the job. it is such a bloody shame- he had all the goodwill in the world and is the first manager in 30 years to leave things better than he found them. Not at all bad.
