Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[tomd2103]

What are the thoughts on Unai Emery?  Didn't have a good time at Arsenal, but a proven track record in Spain.

Dyche would be a pathetic appointment.

I think the wording "Aaron Danks will take charge of our match against Brentford" suggests we have nobody lined up. It would have been "Aaron Danks has taken charge of first team affairs" or something like that, if we had.

Some managers rarely come in and take charge straight away. They tend to sit in the stand and access things.

Whoever it is, I hope they don't try to 'access' a drink and a pie at half time.

*wink*

Yes, maybe. I still don't think we have anyone lined up. It took us a little while to appoint Gerrard last time, and somebody in the know would have put serious cash on and spooked the bookies if someone was on his way.

Would be very happy with Emery.

i have a feeling it will be Frank from Brentford (i do hope not)

Telegraph has Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, Ruben Amorim and Sean Dyche as the candidates.

Had never heard of Amorin, but looks like has done a good job in Portugal.

Please not Dyche, although I have a nasty feeling it will be.

Importantly they say that these are 'among' the candidates, which is some quality arse-covering.

Of them, Pochettino would obviously be the stellar appointment, Amorim would be interesting, Frank would be underwhelming and Dyche would make me stop following football.

Yeah that's about right.

I'd like Tuchel but I get the impression that he is holding out for a CL club

In the meantime I'm winding up the Palace fans at work telling them that we're going to pinch Vieira...

Good man.

If you want something ridiculous, left field, would never happen and would be a daft appointment.... I know that Mike Duff has asked about it.

The issue with Frank is that he fits the Brentford system and has been inside that club for a while. Brentford are a superbly run club who groom their coaches from within. They have a long term vision and it works. I fear Frank would be another eaten up by our club.

We more often than not seem to go for pinching managers from smaller, overachieving clubs. Sometimes it works (Taylor), sometimes it, er, doesn't (Lambert)...
