Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[DB]

We have got worse since he left. But no thanks to him coming back for SG

[villabear]

I wasn't being serious as I agree it wasn't much better when he was here. It was more the fact another manager has turned them down.

[Drummond]

I don't feel sorry for him in the slightest. He didn't ever come across as a nice guy as a player, and the whole 'Look me in the eye' nonsense was pathetic. And he'll get paid £15m for being shite if/when we sack him.

Quite.

[Mister E]

Frank = owners now aiming for also ran / don’t get relegated.  Rogers = can’t get anybody better because our transfer budget isn’t tempting enough. 

Correct

[ChicagoLion]

Frank is just very annoying.

Correct

Agree.  Strong "no" to Rodgers - stinks of a completely lack of ambition or will to compete in this division, at least above mid-table level.

Frank - less against, but it'd feel really rather underwhelming to go from talk about Poch or Emery and end up with Brentford's manager again!  Absolutely no offence meant towards Brentford there, it'd just feel like we were randomly picking off their players and managers until it worked out.

The hair, the humour or the accent?

Yes.

There would also an element of can't get Martinez, let's go for McLeish about it. Without the added B-lose nonsense, obv.

Caught an interview with Noel Mooney (current Welsh FA CEO) last weekend. He was asked about the choice of head coach for the Ireland women's team - a process he oversaw.

He said rather than getting hung up on a particular name, he asked the players and others involved about the type of manager they wanted. 

Sounds simple, but if you want Poch because of his focus on integration with academy structures, hands off approach to transfers and how his teams press from the front, you don't then go for Frank (or similar) if you can't get him.

IF we sack Gerrard (I am starting to doubt that we will) then we need to ensure we have got our prime candidate ready and willing to take the job, we cannot afford to be without a manager for a few weeks.
We don't want to be like Wolves who are being turned down by Managers and then have to keep looking for the next one on the list!

I just have the feeling that he would be another that the job/club would end up being too big for.

[Goldenballs]

If it was a choice between Rogers and Frank, then it would be Rogers every time.

I still Rogers would do a good job for us, but would much rather we go the next level up, obviously. Frank would be seriously depressing.

[Clark W Griswold]

Rogers would be the best appointment since O Neill but that really isn't saying a lot. Certainly would be less exciting than Poch.

Frank would be a better appointment than Gerrard but definately a dull, uninspiring one.

Frank strikes me as the modern day Lambert equivalent.

Well I certainly dont find him funny, the accent I guess he cant help. The Hair is a very bad idea. He comes over as a bit to full of himself.

The most apt description was from someone on here who said something along the lines of "he looks like a ski instructor who spends his nights at the resort shagging young Scandinavians".
