As it stands we might just say Danke to Danke and keep him as head coach.

Way too early to get carried away but what it does do is allow us to take our time to get the right manager in as it looks like we are in good hands for the time being.

Hiring him full time would be a mistake, but it looks like we've a decent safe pair of hands in the short term.

The best thing about today is that it eases the need to make a quick appointment, we can take our time and get it right.

Exactly and like others have said there’s quality in the squad - with three genuine quality players to come back from injury too.

One major potential downside of Brendan Rodgers getting the job would be 2-3 years of people calling him ‘Rogers.’
Does that error trigger you?

Although the longer we wait the more likely other clubs find themselves on the hunt for a new manager.  Leeds, Everton, Leicester could all change before the World Cup if we played a waiting game.

Yeah, let's not get carried away.

I remember after MON's flounce, Kevin McDonald took the team and we were brilliant beating West Ham at home, then went to Newcastle and lost 6-0 next match.

He's done brilliantly today, though, really happy for him.

Haha fair! He has just delivered our best result in yonks.

But being reasonable, he always sounded like a proper coach, and I'd like to think his staying on under the new guy is a total given.

Such a shame we haven't got quite enough about us to attract a Pochettino at this point in time as performances like today would become the norm rather than just once or twice a season.

There's loads of talent in this squad so hopefully the ones we're interested in will have taken notice of today and fancy working with likes of Bailey at some point in near future.

Well Frank said he had a job to finish at Brentford, on that evidence he's welcome to it.

When Frank took his seat at the start of the match, he was definitely having a good old look around at the ground. Made me suspect he was thinking what it'd be like to manage us.
