Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[cdbearsfan]

Hipster choice Bo Svensson's Mainz are winning four-nil.

Edit: won funf-nul.

I don't mind David Moyes.

when Moyes was available and instead of going to West Ham again and came to us people would have lost their minds.

Wonder if Lerner is flying in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on his private jet?

[nick harper]

There’s no excuse for Dyche. We don’t need a relegation specialist type, there’s plenty of time left plus a mini season break. It would be a dreadful appointment. Do something ambitious.

Agree about Dyche, it would be completely uninspiring but with our run of fixtures to the end of the year, he’s probably the only one you’d be pretty confident would pull us away from trouble pretty quickly. We don’t want to be amongst the dead men in January.

I’m really frustrated the club didn’t act after the first 6 games as it was clear he was not going to turn it round. We’ve lost the opportunity of getting that new manager bounce with a kind run of fixtures.

Yep, just the mention of his name was producing a similar response on here as Dyche now. There wasn't exactly a big clamour for Eddie Howe either (me included) and I still wouldn't be overly keen.

[chrisw1]

We are much, much richer than Wolves. Highly doubt they would have been able to afford his release fee and wages

We’re not actually.  We may be more prepared to spend it though

[mrfuse]

Surely we can do better than Dyche. some reports have him joint 2nd favourite.

I think I'd rather just get relegated than resort to Dyche ball and You can forget increasing the ground capacity.

Howe had questions over his defensive set up but was always an exceptional coach, and I think I said at the time he could be a very decent appointment at Newcastle, simply because he's such an attacking manger. Moyes I agree, many noses turned up, because he's a boring dinosaur, but he's done very well second time round at West Ham. Dyche is Bruce with a ginger beard and a novelty voice.

[cdbearsfan]

I said at the time Howe was a better option than Gerrard. I still didn't particularly want him so not claiming any wisdom after the event but it would, at least, have been an appointment based on some element of thought rather than just unfiltered starfucking.

[SoccerHQ]

Was Howe still available when we sacked DS?

He'd have been a decent succession fit so annoying Purslow was getting giddy at appointing his hero as manager which has cost us 12 months.

[PaulWinch again]

Dyche would be a terrible appointment that would suck hope and belief out of the club. The Gerrard appointment was foolish, but in a weird way it was done with some ambition. This appointment needs to be well thought out and ambitious.

No, took Newcastle about a week before

[Villan82]

Our treatment if Remi Garde was shameful.

Agree. We seem to have a bad track record with continental managers.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Sporting at Tottenham on Wednesday. I could imagine us meeting Amorim that night or on Thursday, if he hasn't ruled himself out by then.

I can just imagine that

‘ where are you off to Rube’
Oh just popping out for a little walk won’t belong but don’t wait up

Or to give it a Portuguese twist, Portugal's top CEO/Playboy at the time once when questioned responded with the following:

Wife: "Where are you going?"
Husband: "Just going to buy some cigarettes."

He never returned. Or put another way, the next time they met was in the Divorce Court.

Not expecting to beat Spurs again, Sporting have some vital players out right now.

[Villan82]

I never really studied Emery until tonight. Wow, he has quite a phenomenal CV. What went wrong at Arsenal?
