Dimplex Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 Still believe with the squad we have Bielsa would be ideal. Although also happy with Gerrard - although appreciate Beale seemed to be the tactical brains when he was at Rangers. How about if he brought in Benitez as his assistant/consultant for 4 months? That may work.
Crab Lungs Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 Lampard, Rafa, Gerrard, Allardyce, Henry, Selles -no. Just no. Marsch - wouldn’t be against it at all, seemed like one of those ‘marginally unlucky’ managers though and we can’t afford any more unlucky moments. Poch, give him a whopping salary and a bonus if he keeps us up. Throw the kitchen sink at it. Put a break in the contract if we stay up or go down. His choice. It’s the one appointment that will unite everyone. Gallardo, I know nothing about him so … on the fence there. 3
cambsaint Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 I would go for a short term appointment. My choice would be Allardyce , for all his faults he knows what it's all about, can handle the pressure and lead the players. One thing for sure he wouldn't tolerate any nonsense. Don't know if he'd come but if the carrot were big enough? 1 1

S-Clarke Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 If Poch hadn't managed us, suggesting him is the equivalent of suggesting Zinedine Zidane or Thomas Tuchel - total non-starters. We rightly laugh at Everton fans for their summer ambitions for signing Mydrik and Isak - this is the equivalent. 5

BERMUDASAINT Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 We are never even close to guessing who the owners will hire, who had NJ on their radar last time....hahaha

Expand Well first of all beggars can't be choosers and we are right down there with the lowliest beggar. In fact someone has nicked our bowl. I know nothing about managers outside this country but Bielsa had something about him at Leeds. They played great to watch football, suicide at times but my God did he have them playing for the team and each other. He knows the Championship and how to get out of it and didn't spend that much as far as I remember. He probably wouldn't come or he might want the same deal he was refused at Everton but as CB Fry has pointed out we are all but down, so why not? Another reason for Bielsa? I really can't think of anyone else with a smidgeon of pedigree who would come here. We lost our last chance of attracting someone decent or on their way up in November. Now we must look for someone on their way down. Plus of course no compo would be due. #clutchingatstraws 4
Colinjb Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 (edited) Benitez for me. Probably no chance mind. Edited 12 February, 2023 by Colinjb 1

SuperSAINT Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 Will probably be Remi Garde because we liked how much he learned from his Aston Villa experience.

Nolan Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 Gallardo sounds the best fit. Maybe Caballero and Alcaraz will have some sway that would make us a more attractive draw than Leeds. 2

egg Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 (edited) Nuno feels like a good fit for us. He did really well at Wolves, and is a big enough name to command respect and restore some credibility to the club. Edited 12 February, 2023 by egg 4

ScandiSaint Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 Adkins - was great when he was here but his time has passed. Done nothing since to suggest he deserves another shot here. Poch - will not be coming here unless we offered him outrageous money until the end of the season. Even then, why we he risk diminishing his reputation? Madrid or Spurs might be an option for him come the end of the season. Gerrard - honestly cannot see the point of him coming in. Bielsa - probably wouldn't come until the end of the season? No idea how tall Paul would fit his style of football Nuno - would be a great option but might be on mega money in the Middle-East. Would he want to manage in the Championship again next season? Same applies to pretty much anyone unless we go for an 'until the end of the season' appointment. If we try and appoint a long-term manager now there will have to be some serious convincing about having a big budget to try and get us promoted again next season. They would also have to align with our method of buying and playing youngsters to then develop and sell. Not sure if Benítez could fit in with that.
Convict Colony Posted 12 February, 2023 Posted 12 February, 2023 I dont want gerrard or lampard as they both have a history of freezing out key players and pissing off a lot of the squad. 5
