when you look at the list of high class managers free at the minute, we have a great list to pick from.

say we will give you a contract till end of year and if you get us up we will extend it or if we don't go up and you want to stay we will talk then,

money talks in football and surely even with the right offer we could get a big name in.

Then I would be looking to appoint either Villas-Boas or Capello. The latter is maybe a little difficult, but I think it's worth a try.

{Ed007's Note - What about Mark Warburton, or as he's known in the press up here Future England Manager Mark Warburton? (rofl)

PAKO AYESTARÁN, STEVE BRUCE, LOUIS VAN GAAL
, ANDRÉ BREITENREITER, ROBERTO MANCINI, MARCELO BIELSA, GUUS HIDDINK,

all just a few names that as i know of are currently jobless.

Quality managers, but would they want to work with what we have as players?
Would Xia be willing to pay the salaries that would be asked?
Our chances of getting a top man are at best slim.
Whatever is to be needs to be now.
Amazing numbers of posters thought DiM to be the finest choice available and it is easy to be wise retrospectively but the present situation indicates that the selection was flawed.
Tactically we are non starters, very naive and somewhat arrogant are a couple of observations.

more than likely none other than bruce or big sam will come to us but that's a great list if we was willing to pay for one.

I believe 2-4 of them would be interested. For instance, Mancini and van Gaal will most likely be difficult to get. Breitenreiter is a good shout, did well for Schalke 04 recently. Some quality managers, I agree.

What we don't need is a manager without any recent championship experience, we've tried this with RDM proof is in the pudding.

Why do they need championship experience?
The objective is the prem, start as you mean to go on.
Forget the now, plan for the future. Winning is winning where ever you are!

Ok so we get a man with prem experience. and when we don't get there we sack him because he can't get us there. "Insanity is making the same mistake over and over and expecting different results", to get to the prem we need results now, to get those results now we need a manager who has experience in this very very hard intense league, not someone whose done well at a huge club in leagues where you play once a week against smaller clubs.

I liked Sherwood, at least he showed some passion. I'd like to see him given a proper go.

02 Oct 2016 15:04:51
all the names chucked about i think one that's constantly over looked is southgate, wonder if he would do the two jobs till end of the season?

I have been positive and I have been an advocate for giving the manager time. But after tonight, that performance was not even championship level and I can't defend the man anymore, at least the last few matches there were glimmers of hope and a possible turnaround.

Re-active and not proactive, no idea on a formation, no structure and no motivation. There are no excuses this time, we are going backwards and that is unexceptable.
