Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[cdbearsfan]

The statement “wouldn’t totally hate Dyche” I think is bang on. I want us to be more ambitious, but the position we're in ... he may be what we need.

I'm just being a realist.

When do clubs ever go after a new manager when they're top of the league? If we applied your logic we would be appointing relegation specialists for the rest of time and will never be better than a club battling relegation.

The season has hardly begun, the new manager has a squad far better than it appeared under the last incompetent, a lengthy World Cup break to develop plans and owners with shitloads of cash to help them bring in players.

If, with all those advantages, the best we can do is appoint Sean Dychebag, we may as well all give up.

Are we prepared to wait till the World Cup and potentially write off the games before?

Definitely not! Get them in next week, give them the remaining pre-WC games to assess and make some tweaks; getting the new-manager bounce. Then, use the WC to properly re-set.

Totally agree but if it meant getting a higher calibre manager.

This is absolutely what we have to do this time, and if it takes a while, so be it.

[cdbearsfan]

I won't be panicking if we don't have someone in by the Newcastle game, but can't see any reason whatsoever why we would need to be waiting until after the World Cup. I want our manager watching the competition deciding which megastars he is going to sign.

In the words of John Otway. Sort of.
Really Poch, really Poch  really really really Poch, take Poch.
This is Aston Villa though and I think it will be Dyche. In our dreadful position currently I wouldn't be 100% against him coming in.

I don't think we are in a bad enough position to need Dyce.

We've played eleven games, we are one good month away from the European places. We are hardly cut adrift. Sean Dyche, FFS.

I think the game has moved on even since Dyche so even though people are saying Dyche did this and that at Burnley how long did it take him to achieve those things?
English managers are getting left far behind regarding setting up teams tactically and that's why the Portuguese are the popular choice currently as it seems to be something they are really educated in.

[Richard E]

We’d have to be bottom of League One before I’d consider we were in a bad enough position to want Dyche.

[Monty]

Newcastle were in the shit, appointed a manager who stereotypically wouldn't be 'what you need down here', who plays fruity, egghead football with thinking and other suspect things, and out they got of the shit nonetheless.

It's results. The best managers, modern ones, who understand the, you know, the sport, they're the most likely to get results. Get one of them in.

[Clark W Griswold]

He had got a lot of PL experience though. I also don't think anyone seriously expected him to do as well as he has. Hindsight is a great thing but if we'd have got him instead of Gerrard.....

[Beard82]

Two things I keep coming back to

Why did we sack critchley so soon if we don’t have a successor lined up

This porteguese guy sounds great but it sounds just like our Steven but with a cooler name

[Bad English]

They could get us to decide the team via one of the pre-match thread threads and we'd do better than him.

As I said I'd absolutely love Poch to come as I think we can match his ambition.

[Hillbilly]

I’m not sure the World Cup is a good place to shop for managers. They’re either ones who didn’t quite cut it at club level (Southgate, Martinez) or in the waiting room for retirement.

Emery is the gettable, realistic option  who has  the experience and nous to meet our current needs.
From Villareal to the Real Villa.
