...and so it begins.

The lunatics are out in force already.

Sean Dyche or John McGinlay my favourites so far

I'd have thought he'd be neither for or against getting his client to join us.

Neutral, in fact.

He's got the Swiss flag too. That's a big plus

John O'Shea

can you imagine

Not that arsed who we get in. Various people have said over the months “any decent manager at this level will get a tune out of them”. I believe that’s true. We have plenty of quality in the squad.

No one should complain at any manager with decent experience or a league 1 promotion on their CV. 

Schumacher, Buckingham, Harris, Richardson. Seems like splitting hairs as they all will have their own pros and cons. The long term strategy needs to be paused. We now just need someone in to get us over the line and take us to the next step. If they get us promoted I hope we don’t get married to them like we did with Evatt.

The Championship is a different animal and if we get there, the squad and manager will likely need shaken up again so we shouldn’t get too attached to anyone right now.

On a scale of 1 to 10. How scouse does he sound when he talks?

Heard he would bring Joey Barton as his number 2 if he gets the job

He would have to get over the circumstances surrounding his departure from us as a player, done plenty moaning about that.

Dunno anything about that, so can't comment. 

Just something I've heard. Doesn't mean there is anything in it.

Me neither.

I thought Steve Cooper was mentioned on here a while back or was that a joke?

A proud Welshy- got a few in our squad, so he would feel at home!

 

Gareth Southgate with Wayne Rooney as assistant 😂

Atherton, crainey and gilks all left too. Not sure who will be caretaker unless they have approached other managers already

Arfield. He’s doing fuck all in a playing capacity 

There are loads of want to be managers on here they can just pick one☺️

Of all the names being bandied around, the one we have absolutely zero chance of getting is Dyche, no way is he dropping down to the third division

Was on Undr the Cosh or summert said when Sharron et al took over he was promised a new contract then left waiting all summer without letting him plan his next season before being told he wasn't needed. 

Bit more in this article.

He was there last night though. I saw him in Asda (seriously) and then outside the ground a short while later

A clear out then.

I did wonder if Gilks may have stayed, even just on a temporary basis.

Remember him being very vocal as a player and from the sidelines, helping out.

Seems to have gone quiet recently.

Tutte apparently, b team coach ex player

Schumacher seems like the better choice with him being free and no compo needed to be paid out, but would he come?

Good they all got cleared out. Send em back to Blackpool, wigan and wherever else....

 

Betvictor has some ropey lookin German dude as third favourite in the market. I know it means nowt, but he looks like a pound shop klopp!

Agent McGee that, although he did put #WollitzandGromit after the tweet so possibly taking the piss.
