There are going to be some decent managers available in the summer unlike when we were looking for Jones replacement. If it’s true we do have the resources to make a good push for promotion then we should be an attractive proposition to someone decent. Given that the wallies running us have got every single decision wrong in the last 12 months you’d expect them to make a mess of that as well

That's what worries me, from the outside when the worst happens you assume we should have enough about us to mount a decent effort as long as we get the calls right - certainly attractive to decent managers, but the decision making over the last 12 months has been inept and I haven't seen any suggestion that has changed yet.

I could never, ever, ever stand Steven Gerrard as a player and my dislike for him continued as he progressed to a manager.

For me he was a selfish player and as a coach, I thought he was, well, reliant on being able to steamroll the Scottish league at a convenient time. His limitations were perhaps brought to bear at Villa and as he was quite abrasive, he evidently rubbed the players up the wrong way.

That said… sometimes, someone just fits a situation. If we’re gonna go for it in the Championship, I think we need someone who could perhaps command the respect of our ragtag group of losers and mould them into a functional if not spectacular unit.

I will underline this again; I really don’t like or rate Steven Gerrard but I can’t help but think that he could DAJFU next season if/when we’re relegated.

I think with him having his reputation to restore somewhat and us looking for, and I hate to say it and as much it irks me, a leader of sorts, he could be a good candidate. My feeling is less based on any tactical acumen from him (I’ve seen very little) but more based on his leadership and motivational qualities.

I just think he’s one of those Roy Keane type managers who could squeeze every last bit of sweat from his teams, especially if he gets off to a good start and there is a ‘feel good’ factor around the place. 

I feel horrible for saying that, despite my 1/8th scouse heritage.

agreed. Viera, lampard (unrealistic now), gerrard would help win the championship like kompany has now. it’s about who you sign and all these championship players want to play for them so they can claim they’re best friends.

This is who we should go all out to get .

knows the championship and has the premier league pedigree when we get back there. Did well as interim at Utd and boro are now a very good footballing side under him.

Would love that but I don’t think he’d bother swapping Boro for us. He’d be mad to.

I can just see happening that shortly before the season starts Rasmus makes a statement quoting:

We spent months identifying new managers however they were unable to join for the new season. So I have decided that I’ll be manager for the time being. At the end of the day I bought the players in January and wrote a book about winning and give Ted talks. Don’t worry I know what I’m doing and we will likely be promoted at the start of February after another 13-0 win. 

Sorry to bang on about Rasmus. Just can’t stand the guy with all his bullshit and how he has dismantled everything built over the years.

Intrigued to hear what this includes…

I thought the whole point of us wanting new owners was because the previous one wasn’t building anything over the years he was here?

Gerrard fine with me, or Rooney come to that. Kompany has done a brilliant job at Burnley but knew the markets to go for in signings and loans. Whoever is appointed needs a high profile with the contacts like Koeman did to keep Les in his box. Ditto with Ankerson and Wilcox. You do the admin and I’ll do the football. Benitez ditto or Nuno as well. Players would want to work with above names and a few that wouldn’t normally. Statement of intent, might keep a few of the January signings we want to keep whilst cashing in on JWP, KWP, Salisu, Lavia. 

Fonte and/or Lallana also good, would get me back engaged again. If they appoint Selles that has to be boycott territory al a 2008/9.

Reckon Chris Wilder when Watford get rid of him in the summer.  Would be quietly happy with him.

Someone like Patrick Vieira would be a good fit for the squad (lots of young, technical players) but doubt he'd drop a division.

 Carrick for me. 
 

If he would make the move down south. 
 

Not just because of Boro, but he seems to go about his business under the radar.

He seemed to have had a steady hand at Man U at the time.

I would go for Nigel Pearson. No nonsense English manager who would whip this lot into shape. Fuck all the hipster Spanish roll necks. Fuck all the European side passing evangelicals. Fuck all the Pep wannabes. Fuck all the pseudo tactical “play from the back” crap and just give us a manager who puts his best 11 on the pitch and tells them to die for the club.
 

Even if it doesn’t work at least we would have some pride in our club. Something I haven’t felt for a long time.

Would prefer Warnock tbh over Pearson. Least he has a good track record in that division.

Doubt he’s even registered on Ankersen’s radar or got his name on a spreadsheet yet.

As Lee on Solent says he hasn’t done much at Ashton Gate and a few weeks ago there were rumbles from some supporters there wondering how he was still in a job.

Carrick is an interesting shout, but I currently have very little confidence in anyone at this club to make the right call. This summer is our biggest ever, get this one as wrong as they did last year then some of us will never see PL football again.

Not sure really where we will be looking. I get the impression that the board will like the look of Lampard and Gerrard. Neither of them two are getting Premier League jobs again, even though Lampard is back at Chelsea for some bizarre reason.

There will be lots of good, progressive managers available this summer, the bunch of dummies in charge won’t appoint any of those.

I’ve just got this vision of Ankersen spending hours on Football Manager looking at stats.

”Oo, he has 12 tactical and 15 youth man management, shortlist”.

He is completely inept of making any rationally good footballing decision.

Total fraud.

He can’t afford to take a punt. He’s done that with Jones, it failed spectacular. And he’s now done it with Selles, and nothing has improved.

Yes the players have to take some blame but fucking hell the entire coaching staff and members of the board, those involved with transfers need to be totally cleared out.

Well Nigel Pearson has actually done something. He was our manager when we escaped relegation under Crouch so not so daft really. 
Didn’t hear you speaking up when we appointed Jones either.

In the Premier League Moyes would be a good choice. But he has never won promotion. In the Championship we need to be fishing in a completely different pool of managers.

Almost did it, against all odds, when he was at Preston.

Wouldn’t be my first choice though.
