Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Exeter 77]

Dion Dublin on Football Focus has just suggested Rafa Benitez.

Just putting it out there - i'd appoint Ashley Young (even if he doesn't have coaching badges!)
Why ?
He's already there, knows the players, won't need time to get a feel for the club nor cast an eye over his staff, we won't need to pay compensation (put it towards his transfer kitty!) he clearly is a leader, has a brain and is our player-of-the-season so far !
He wouldn't be divisive among the fanbase and would unite us all - something which has been sorely lacking since Dean Smith was cruelly axed.
Would the football be any worse than under Gerrard?
If he returned to the club, it must be because he has feelings for Aston Villa.

He should stick to Homes Under The Hammer.

Has the experience....

Can't say I like the bloke, seemed to somehow be idolised at Newcastle, when he wasn't any better than Bruce.

Welcome to the site.

You're insane.

That would be ten times stupider than appointing Gerrard which was already really, massively, stupid.

It would only take two poor results before the comments and fall out of the Gareth Barry to Liverpool  saga resurfaced.

I'd like to stop with the Liverpool connections right now.

Dion doesn't half-talk shite and his jolliness grates at times. Sacrilege to say but I prefer Micah Richards' laughter and analysis.

Talking of new managers I noticed Oldham appointed David Unsworth last month.  I assume it’s the same Unsworth we know and love?

It was near enough to Merseyside for him to agree terms.

I like Emery but I see he turned down Newcastle last year and seems to be very happy at Villarreal so Ive just read

On the other hand, he may have a few scruples!

Scruples? Did they replace the Peseta?

Are there any good pundits really??
If I watch MoTD for example I just reach for the remote and fast forward past the shite and onto the next game.
