darklord Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If rumours are true that Petrescu was first choice then where does that put us with alternatives? Surely big Sam and some others would be gone for ahead of Petrescu not as second choice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 John carver is a smaller name than Stuart Gray so thats a definite not happening. They clearly want a big "name" in European football not just the North east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 This has all been a bit much for me, got in from the pub and this was already eight pages long, and I didn't even know he'd been sacked. Think I'll check in tomorrow morning to see if the bookies have narrowed it down a bit. Plenty who I wouldn't like, but can't seem to find one that captures the imagination. Hopefully it will be an overseas coach, who'll get us playing a bit of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Depends how much of the Petrescu stuff you believe. Nixon (I know, I know...) said he was a self-publicist, who has used supposed interest from other clubs in the past (did the same with Forest) to get himself a better deal when negotiating elsewhere. Could quite easily have done the same with us this time. We may have enquired about him, but whether we offered him anything is a real unknown. So I wouldn't be too hasty to assume he was our first choice, and that whoever we get in must be 'worse' than Petrescu etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulixifer Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Michael laudrup!! Just a guess , worked at Swansea, current deal in Qatar end this month, would work under a committee. Big name, etc Strangely this could work. Think it might attract him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponym110 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Bookies offering 5/6 odds on Big Sam. Somebody knows something and while they do get caught out its rare for bookies to be totally out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Paul Scholes anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Paul Scholes anyone? No thanks. If we're going to go down the route of famous PL or European players then I'd suggest the likes of Laudrup, Zola or Bergkamp. To build for the future with. Preferably though to greater stand a chance of delivering the instant success the ambitious Chansiri craves then ideally the best available candidate in my opinion is Big Fat Sam. Just not sure we'll be able to attract him here though, sadly. It's more likely we'll end up with some foreign former PL star or European star, who are inexperienced but working their way up the managerial ladder.

saf Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 They're all wrong. Nobody mentioned Jurgen Klopp yet. He's kicking around. Another industrial city with a 'sleeping giant' etc... Be gutted with sh!t on a stick footy big Sam. Rather keep Gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Carver has no chance. He shouldn't be anywhere near our radar.He might be close to our Roeder, though!Let's hope not. Of all the names mentioned so far, Laudrup stands out as a quality candidate who could work as part of our committee. He could be out of our league, though.
