optimisitcally, someone like Paul Le Guen

 

realistaically, someone like Mike Newell

Phil Brown with John McGinlay

The next manager needs to be big enough to peruade our big names to stay. Forget Sam now we have more pressing matters in building on the current small squad not building a new one.

Mark Hughes might fancy a new challenge

Well all this thread has done is confirm how hard it will be to replace Sam.

 

Chris Coleman !!!

 

Jesus

 

 

Think Casino is right - it's gotta be Little Sam. Seemed odd that he faced the press yesterday - Ricky whatsisface usually does the honours.

 

And they are talking about having the new person in for the last 2 games. All adds up.

 

What worries me is he has no experience. We're going from an experienced, proven guy to an unknown quantity. Can't help but suspect he'd already be in a job if he was that good.

 

I think the parallels with Phil Neal are what worry me most.

Get Joe Royal in. He's good at getting promotion which we will need in 2 seasons time.

 

Or get Roy Keane it. He's done a superb job.

Whoever comes needs to be a bigger name than Allardyce.

 

The club need to move onwards and upwards. Now is the time to move to the 'next level if you know what I mean.

 

The only problem for me is the board not making funds available to the manager. It was said Allardyce was brassed off with running the club on a shoe-string. If they want a top mamager to bring in the 'best' players then the club need to put the money on the table.

 

I'm deeply disappointed in all that has gone on over this last couple of days and to me the timing is very poor from Allardyce.

 

Personal reasons or not, I for one cannot forgive the man.

If it was up to me I would get Billy Davies in. Now Derby haven't got automatic promotion I doubt they will go up through the Play Off's. This will mean that we would have a great chance of getting him.

 

Another option for me would be to appoint Sammy Lee as manager, he knows how things are done, he knows the players, probably a lot better than Sam did, and I would put Speed somewhere in there to.

 

Ian Dowie will be a name that is mentioned a lot just because of the fact that he lives here and is out of a job, personally I wouldn't take him on, he has never really done anything special with a club.

Ian Dowie is manager at coventry at present

Announcement being made tomorrow. Press conference at 11.00a.m. Sammy Lee and Gary Sped expected to be named as new management team.

And championship is his level imo

billy davies might be able to talk nugent into coming to.

So he is, forgot about that, I'm sure though that if we wanted him the fact that he is Coventry manager wouldn't stop him.

Joint manager teams do not work.

 

Remember Mcfarlane and Todd?

 

No doubt Phil Brown will be linked with the job.

aidy botheroyd could be tempted away from Watford. Chris Coleman said yesterday he was looking to get back into managing.

Its a huge job - Sam has set high standards, resurected countless careers and managed to handle players that most would stay well clear of.

Think Billy Davies would be a fantastic aquistition although it will be sammy lee, at least for the rest of the season

I had forgotten about him.

 

IMO he would be a great man for the job, eventhough he has been relagated this seaon, I think it's because he has such a shite squad and no money at all, with a better club I recon he could do well.

if the statement is to be believed, there won't be any temporary appointments

 

just thinking that if it was to be sammy lee, why bother with the press conference tomorrow

 

just seems odd

 

and boothroyd is a way second best version of sam

 

i thought people at least wanted to be entertained as we plummet down the leagues

Why? They'd announce an internal appointment at a press conference wouldn't they?

so why not do it today?

 

it could've been included in the statement?

if we appoint chris coleman my season ticket application will be through the shredder!! Also if they said he went now because he wants the new manager to get a feel for the job then surely it cant little sammy coz he already seen how the club works and all that??
