Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Dave P]

Im warming to Amorim. Everything I’ve read on him sounds impressive. I also want the parallel universe where we get the highly rated Portuguese coach and wolves get the young English no mark.

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.

Welcome to the site.

You're insane.

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

The squad we had in our relegation season was the worst I can remember.  It was devoid of talent and had players with shocking attitudes.  The current squad is miles, miles better.  We don't need a 'relegation battle specialist'.  We need a great manager who can get us back into European football.

Exactly, God we are in need of some sexy futbol

I’m not here advocating Dyche, but imagine this was all happening before Moyes went back to West Ham a second time and we were linked with him. A manager known for bland football, and had failed at all his jobs post Everton. The architect of the 4-6-0. Everyone would be miserable. Yet Moyes has created a really excellent team at West Ham. So while I’d like for us to show more ambition in our search, we might need a more pragmatic approach right now.

The truth is with all of these searches we have no idea who the club has actually contacted or offered the opportunity to, and who has applied. For this appointment we cannot risk regression and we have too many good players that someone with talent should be able to make good use of. Our players are not as bad as they have been.

Dion Dublin on Football Focus has just suggested Rafa Benitez.

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

Micah Richards has analysis?

Yes - but it isn't very good.

[OCD]

Benitez? Just no. I don't think Digne would be too impressed either.

Is Amorim with the wrong agent for Wolves?  Surprised they’ve not been linked as they buy every youngster from Portugal.

He was reportedly their top choice, but he told them to bugger off.

[Brend'Watkins]

55 of us think Dyche?

SG I understood as a gamble at this level but Dyche, you think the sum total of our ambition is Dyche in our development? Is their thinking “We’ll give SG a go, if it doesn’t work out we’ve always got Sean Dyche to fall back on?”

How old is Arsene Wenger

Not a given that he’d want to join us then.  Whilst we know we are a bigger club I’d imagine the perspective from Portugal might be different.

[UK Redsox]

As has everyone else so far, it appears.

At least Villa are being told to bugger-off by the likes of Poch and Tuch

How old is Arsene Wenger

It’s actually his birthday today. 73 candles on the cake

Put it like this, nobody here had ever heard of Wolves until Nuno went there.
