Just got me thinking, if we don't pick up any more than a point from our next 4 games, then we would have the same amount of points from the same amount of games as Sammy Lee did from his start to the 2007/08 season.

 

Birmingham (a)

Spurs (h)

Man U (a)

Everton (h)

 

At the moment i can see us getting maybe 2 points but not much more, so if Gartside was to wield the axe, what managers would we be able to bring in. I've had a look and come up with a list below which goes from the very sensible to the downright ludicrous.

 

What do you think of our would be (limited) options?

 

Phil Brown

Owen Coyle

Stuart Pearce

George Burley

Gary Johnson

Alan Irvine

Nigel Adkins

Simon Grayson

Paul Tisdale

Keith Hill

Gordon Strachan

Alan Curbishley

Paul Jewell

Glenn Hoddle

Bryan Robson

Kenny Dalglish

Bruce Rioch

Warren Joyce

Slaven Bilic

Morten Olsen

Hector Cuper

Radi Antic

Otto Rehhagel

Jurgen Klinsmann

Vanderlei Luxemburgo

Roger Lemerre

Luciano Spalletti

Alberto Zaccheroni

Arrigo Sacchi

Michael Laudrup

Diego Simeone

Jairzinho

Romario

Hristo Stoichkov

Antonio Conte

Neil McDonald

Alan Thompson

Mixu Paatelainen

Youri Djorkaeff

Jay Jay Okocha

Gary Speed

Tony Pulis doesn't think he's too old, and his experience is excellent. Also he and his family have always kept links with the club, he would relate well to the supporters and he knows how to handle the media. Pair him with a younger coach and we could have a good combination.

Colin Todd's a strong manager - he's holding up the entire football league right now.

 

not any more he's just jacked in

I hear Colin Todd's just jacked in

Also he and his family have always kept links with the club

I always wonder about this, people have this thing about managers having a an affiliation with the club, why is that important? - look at the two most successful managers in the PL at the minute, Ferguson and Wenger, neither of them had anything to do with their clubs prior to managing them. The sort of people who want "old boys" in charge belong on the dark ages.

 

Also, the club that Reid was associated with in the 70's and early 80's doesn't exist anymore, it's a totally different beast these days. He knows no more about our club than any other manager out there

I reckon Roy Keane should be a shoe in.

 

Top quality job whereever he's been, spending very little money as well

 

Might be available very soon as well
