It has to be someone who achieves the style of football that ML and NC had been looking for and which they wanted the whole club to embrace from the Academy up. Otherwise, why make the change. With the quality we have in our squad any half decent manager should be able to get us up. It's how he does it that matters both now and in the longer term. I must say I'm with them on this.

No to these for me:

 

Phil Brown, Paul Hart, Iain Dowie and Chris Coleman.

 

Ditto. Phil Brown strikes me as the ultimate brown-noser (been on executive courses). Add Gary Megson to your list as well.

All of those plus Shearer, Paul Buckle, Paul Tisdale (although I have fond memories of him playing well for the ressies), Eriksson, Kevin Blackwell, Hoddle (no League One experience), Southgate, Tony Adams, Tony Mowbray....

 

I really rate Eddie Howe but I don't think the amount of pressure at Saints would be fair on a young and upcoming manager.

 

Of the stellar candidates I think O'Neill or Zola would be great but more realistically Steve Clarke, Ince, Coppell, Curbishley or Jewell would be ok to varying degrees. I'd keep an open mind about Keegan too because he did take Fulham up when they were the big spenders in the third tier.

Phil Brown - Does love a tan, and we're closer to france than most. You have to worry!

Zola - I reckon he could still play, anyone have a spare pair of size 3s?

Paul Hart - 3 clubs in a year, he's making Steve Coppell look good!

Iain Dowie - 3rd Ugliest man in football, after Luke Chadwick and Tevez, Could scare the team into life.

Chris Coleman - Something about his face annoys me, it's like too smooth?!

Tony Mowbray - He's a pretty good manager to be fair, even if he did struggle with Celtic... but then they're ****

Eddie Howe - Stabililty? He's that young he could manage us for the next 30 years!!!

Gary Megson - Would suffer exactly the same problems he did at Bolton

Alan Shearer - Always thought he'd make an exceptional manager though. If we did well he'd be off to newcastle in a flash!

Kevin Blackwell -Wouldnt be the end of the world I suppose

Tony Adams - Gabala FC are a much bigger club than we are... I mean they're paying him £1m a ****ing year!!!

Paul Tisdale - maybe

Gareth Southgate - I didnt like the Pizza Hut advert he did

Chris Coleman - He's on the list twice, maybe thats why I dont like him, he's 2 faced... boomboom

Paul Ince - The Guv'nor, or as I like to call him The C*nt is simply not welcome!

Paul Jewell - yeah I'd take him

My personal guess is that it will be someone foreign, fairly high-level and well respected on the continent, but relatively unknown over here. Don't know why, that's just my feel of what Cortese would go for, can't see him going for any of the usual run of the mill managers listed here, especially after getting rid of Pardew.

There are very few managers who I would consider. I can't think of many of the UK based manager who would fit the bill, and the few exceptions seem ridiculously out of reach (e.g. O'Neill). Perhaps we can expect an overseas manager. There are several top-class overseas managers who might do well over here.

 

How would we feel if we appointed someone like: Daniel Passarella? Lippi? Donadoni? Lucien Favre? Otto Rehhagel? Matthias Sammer?

whenever the name hoddle crops up on here my heart is screaming 'nooooo, anybody but that god-bothering gadgie-dissing ship-jumping tw*t', while my head is calmly and rationally murmuring 'good move, that. Why didnt we do it before?'

Your heart is right, your head as forgotten that his 'success' here was patchy (remember tranmere for one), and he was **** everywhere else he subsequently went.

No to Zola, Megson, Hart, Wotte, Jan, Burley, Dowie, Tisdale, Hoddle, Adams, Blackwell, Sven, Cotterill, Southgate, Coleman, Jewell, Ince, Blackwell, Wilkins, Wise, Tilson,

 

To be honest with you i don't consider any of those to be better then Pardew and if any were appointed it would be a step down. Sven did ok once but now he is mr give us a job plz man so will always be reading the job section, has no loyalty.

 

Would be happy with Curbs, Brown, O'Neil (not going to happen), Bradley, O'Leary....

Using Cestrian Saints list for starters,I'd certainly not want:

 

Phil Brown

Zola

Paul Hart

Iain Dowie

Chris Coleman

Gary SMegson

Alan Shearer

Kevin Blackwell

Tony Adams

Gareth Southgate

Chris Coleman

Paul Ince

Paul Jewell

 

Plus (not that some of them might even be interested):

 

Mark Hughes

Alan Curbishley

Dennis Wise

Sven

Ian Holloway

Steve Cotterill ( he must be really gutted, he has been hanging on for the Saints job for about three years,now its available he's hooked up at the skates and blown his chance)

Peter Reid

Tony Pulis

Micky Adams

Unknown Serie B or even Serie A candidates for that matter

 

No return for Jones, Burley,or other former Saints managers

 

Eddie Howe - I would discount him,not for being crap but due to it being too early in his career

 

Along with O'Neill the following would be interesting candidates:

Kevin Keegan - but he'd only stay 18months maximum

Lee Clarke - but unlikely to prise him from Huddersfield, and he'd be off to Newcastle at some stage

Tony Mowbray - good football pedigree,and promotion experience

 

Paul Tisdale - as an outside bet,and an up and coming manager although it might be a big jump with the expectation at Saints,and perhaps NC would not allow him time to build.

With our squad, 90% of the managers mentioned could get us promoted so I wish everyone would calm down a bit.

 

Whether they are all the "right" person for the long term is debateable but the first hurdle is to get out of this division.

I really don't want Paul Ince or Paul Hart!

 

I don't understand why people hate the idea of Phil Brown, not ideal but we could do a hell of a lot worse. Realistically I would like us to get Mowbray or Keegan. Both have a track record in playing good football and getting teams promoted.

I would take flopsy the cloth eared bunny as long as he gets us promoted !

 

Failing that Mowbray is very much the most capable of those available.

 

Would not want anybody who has been here before.

No to:

 

1) ANY ex Skate

2) Any ex Manager

3) Glenn f**king Hoddle

4) Paul Jewell

 

Yes to:

 

1) Someone with a reputation for getting teams promoted to the Prem. Curbishley, O'Neil, Brown (Yes, I would give him a go) etc

2) Someone with a record of promotion at a 'smaller' club. Tisdale, Howe etc

3) Kevin Keegan, at least it would be entertaining.

No to Paul Jewell yet you want someone who has got experience on getting teams promoted? Jewell done both of your criteria, he did this from L1 to the Prem with Wigan and CCC to the Prem with Bradford, surely Jewell has a better reputation for promtion than any of the ones you say you want?

As some of the rumours for Pardews sacking involve him having 'relations' with women that he is not married to - do you think Jewell is the ideal candidate ?

 

As he also likes to have 'relations' over car bonnets - do you think he will be happy to pay for parking at St Marys ?

I dont care, he gets teams promoted, what they do outside of work doesn't interest me. In anycase, it's not like they have been accused of rape is it. It takes two (or more) to f*ck.

Look at the success of Danny Wilson at Swindon, allbeit given a little time, who hd a torrid time at Sheff Wednesday and the likes of Paul Jewell certainly look attractive. Just because a manager has failed in a previous job it doesn't mean they are decent managers. WGS is a prime example of this an he didn't turn out too bad, Neil McAnt signing apart.
