Hopefully. Don't want that dodgy Shyster (another one) anywhere near our club again.

Re: Who Next? The odds
Avram Grant
Sam Allardyce
Slaven Bilic
David Moyes
Manuel Pellegrini
Their appointments, Bilic aside, has been for the experience, a perceived safe pair of hands. The one time we took a risk and attempted to go down a different path led to our greatest league season (in terms of points tally) in the top flight since 1986.
If Pellegrini does get the chop, we need to create an identity, a way of playing, players that fit the mould. And that comes with taking a risk, someone who's new on the scene and ahead of the curve. Let's be brave for once. Who that is I don't know, but look at the likes of Wolves and Burnley, both have their own identities and players who fit. So no surprise why they're doing well right now.
And no to Benitez too, we've tried experience and hasn't got us anywhere. Be brave.

With Lampard at Chelsea, Gerrard at Rangers, we'll go for Parker from Fulham. Noble as his assistant when he hangs up his boots, to take the job eventually.

Re: Who Next? The odds
Unfortunately I think we missed the boat in that we should have tried to prise Brendan Rogers away from Celtic a little while ago. Only my opinion of course. As of now I think Pelle has to go and Rafa or Howe coming in would be good - Poch would be a miracle.

Re: Who Next? The odds
I quite liked what Gracia was trying to achieve at Watford before it all went tits up for him , don't know anything about Kovac and Nagelsmann other than the latter was suppose to be the next big thing at one point and that Kovac worked with Haller .
Pochettino won't be interested in us now so no point hoping .
I'd love to see Di Canio at West Ham but our owners want a Yes Man who'll work on a pittance -
Wouldn't say ' No ' to Moyes either .
It'll be Rafa though .

We tried Rodgers before, Celtic wouldn’t let us talk to him.

Re: Who Next? The odds
If we were going to go for someone young and hungry to try and create an identity, then surely it must be The Cowleys.

I've seen these two mentioned a lot. Are they joint manager or is one the assistant?Eggs'n'nuts wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 10:51 pm If we were going to go for someone young and hungry to try and create an identity, then surely it must be The Cowleys.

Re: Who Next? The odds
As always, every time we sack a manager under these owners we are back to the same old shitty list of gaffers.
Honestly I would be tempted to just go back to Moyes and get him to keep us up every year, what’s the point in trying to progress, we never will under these owners.

Re: Who Next? The odds
Benitez would be uninspiring, he had his chance and blew us out.
The sad truth is that as long as GSB remain in charge, we will never attract a manager with any passion, hunger or ambition. Who would want to work with them?

Re: Who Next? The odds
I reckon it’s a list of one.
Problem is that he signed for a super rich Chinese Club 6 months ago on a £12m deal. They don’t take payments on the never never. Would they pay that up front and whatever Rafa himself wants?
I reckon they have to sell to pay for all this and they’ll limp on to January whatever happens.
