shurlock Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 Can you imagine how tedious and boring finishing 7th would be? If that's all we can hope for what is the point of supporting a team? If we don't get 65 points next season I will become an alcoholic. How about resigning after 10 games. Only quitters and losers do that, don't they small fry? As ever, you are a model of consistency.

Saint Charlie Posted 25 May, 2014 Share Posted 25 May, 2014 My pick would be either David Moyes or Steve McClaren Moyes is exactly the sort of manager that is the perfect fit for a club of our size and expectation. Been there, done it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Wouldn't want either personally. Would rather another foreign manager with a specific style of play.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I wanted Eddie Howe to come to us when Adkins came, so to be consistent,I still think Howe would be good. He has a good record with young players Problem is , he wouldn't stand a chance. From day one some of our fanbase would bang on about "cheap option" and "shows our lack of ambition" ECT ECT . Would give the players that want to go a get out line. Personally, I think he deserves a go at the big league. Its not just what he's done at Boscombe the past couple of years , but his first spell. They were nailed on heading for the conference and he delivered promotion a year later. Im not sure we're the right job for him, its going to be a tough ask to follow on from last year,especially if players move on. Pros; Plays good stuff, is a bright young manager. Could be around a long time and build something. Cons; Not a big name, dont know what happened at Burnley, and he's a skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToreSF Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Howe or Rosler for me. Or some other young, clever bloke. Moyes would be a disaster as I think he is mentally wounded after his spell with the prawn sandwich brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moyes would be a disaster as I think he is mentally wounded after his spell with the prawn sandwich brigade. I think Moyes would have a point to prove. He was doing a good job at Everton, the UTD job was just beyond him, especially following Sir Alex. He's not my preferred choice but he wouldn't be a bad option.

david in sweden Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Hopefully he will stay and most of our players too. But, if MP does go who would you like to see in his place? I think extending his contract... (which is what it would be).....answers that question, we don't have to bother. If he stays....it's likely that few (if any) players would move away. If he goes...the question(s) would be.. ..who do we sign to replace Shaw?....who do we sign to replace Lallana?....who do we sig to replace Schneiderlin ?....etc, etc, It's not down to the players we will sign in the summer, but keeping MP. An eventual new manager would want to sign those on his own " wish list " which would be bad news for some of our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Uwe Rosler came across as someone who very much focussed on the minutae of teams best players while he was punditting the Championship play off.

Killers Knee Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Have to say I agree with G-dog regarding Yakin, after not really knowing too much about him or Techul I've read loads of articles on them and their tactics over the last few days and I must say they sound awesome. Has anyone watched Basel or Mainz enough to form an informed opinion ? Great article on Murat Yakin http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2014/04/10/4737306/the-next-guardiola-marvellous-murat-yakin-deserves-a-chance Looks like a real candidate.

I like the way we play currently and moyes would have us playing much more direct and don't think it would suit our players either. Moyes I'd expect to get newcastle or Sunderland job at some point.

angelman Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Can't see a problem with wages. As I have mentioned more than once, if the stories of MP being offered £6m a year are to be believed (who knows what is to be believed these days), this to me is sending a message out saying that we will pay top dollar. Put it this way, the reported wage for LvG at Man Utd is £6m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Ha! I remember all the discontent towards the end at Boro when Southgate had to pretty much take over in the dressing room. Performances were certainly erratic and probably remembered more fondly due to their decline. He was rubbish at Wolfsburg and Twente in his second period, woeful at Forest. So basically he's just had a decent half season with Derby and failed to get promoted. I'd think we can do a little better. If there's one person who knows about successful football management, it's Gareth Southgate. What a job he dun at Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 Only guy domestically I'd be interested in is Moyes. De Boer would certainly be interesting, only reason Tottenham won't get him seems to be compensation which we shouldn't have a problem paying. Works well with youth and would more than likely welcome a route into this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 I'd back it. But yeah, it's hard not to show it's a backwards step. Least it's honest. If MP a few top players go, and we're looking at playing some decent football, improving youngsters and aiming for mid-table then I'm all in favour of Adkins. I think he'd have kept us up comfortably. OK maybe we wouldn't have progressed as we have, but people are so quick to write off managers yet every season comment on how players have learned, improved etc. Why exactly can't managers do the same? My main reasoning though, would be that if we're taking the ambition back a notch, then we need something else. Sacking Adkins was depressing to me as it made us another ruthless club and saw a decent man doing a good job treated badly. Getting him back could show we're not about that anymore, that the clubs means a bit more. He'd be popular I think and greeted well, but obviously there'd be a lot of outcry online about the step back, lack of ambition etc. Yet people are taking about Rosler, Howe, the Brighton manager and so on. I'd take Adkins over all of them. Hard to imagine Nigel being such a sneaky **** about it if Spurs came calling as well........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
