New manager thread

[Hemingway]

Like Blanc a lot and he'd be one of my top choices, but I know there are a lot of supporters who simply couldn't process Kenny getting sacked and then hiring someone who played for the Mancs.

Because I don't think either Rafa or Klopp are all that realistic, count me in for AVB. Made some mistakes at Chelsea but had no support; the talent is obvious, he'll have learned from that disaster, can attract European talent, and best of all he'll have a chip on his shoulder.

[Fredo]

I'd take Blanc ahead of Rafa, so don't count my vote. I think we need a clean break. **** all that ****.

[Liverpool]

AVB lacks experience and probably needs someone beside him.

[Fredo]

Don't want AVB. Absolutely not. Beurkk.

[Muddled]

Nigel Adkins.

What's Slavan Bilic (sp?) been up to in the last 18 months?

from wiki:

"On 10 May 2012, Bilić confirmed that he would step down after the tournament.[2] On 14 May 2012, it was confirmed that Bilić had signed a coaching contract with the Russian club FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[1] His tenure at Lokomotiv will officially begin after Euro 2012."

Martinez will get shredded by the fans just as Hodgson did. We are way too big a club for him just yet. Collymore's called it right. Whether people like it or not we are one of Europe's elite and that requires a top manager.

[BobTheCharmer]

Alan Shearer

[Lee]

My top two options are completely unviable.

Sadly I can't see Rafa coming back.

My second choice would be Capello but he's too old.

Realistically I haven't a ****ing clue. Real reservations about Martinez and the like. Not convinced by AVB either.

3. Klopp
4. Mourinho

I agree with this but I don't recall us being linked with any heavyweights prior to Woy being appointed.

Edit - IIRC I was abroad at the time so may have missed out on all the gossip that pre-empted his arrival. However I did have the opportunity to see Sky news on occasions and I really can't recall them mentioning any managerial powerhouses begging to be given the job.

I see realism has finally kicked in at 10.15.

[Darkon]

Two people have voted for someone else - who?

I voted someone else because I don't think Klopp is anywhere close to a realistic target.

Nobody else on the list interests me except AVB perhaps if he got the time needed.

My prefered candidate right now, although I don't think he is on the shortlist is Rudi Garcia to build long term.

[Lee]

Wow.

I'm shocked with that.
