Guest Sloth Lover Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Re. Marcelo Bielsa, does he speak English? Don't think he's realistic anyway though. I was a Holloway sceptic but think he'd be a great fit personally, gets the best out of his players and admires our club. I think we could tempt him. Aside from him, Dean Smith would be worth a punt IMO. Don't want Pardew - granted his team's start off well when he is appointed but nose dive very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What salary are we prepared to pay and how does the salary compare to the market rate? How close to FFP are we and what's the transfer budget going forward? What length of contract are we offering? What's the bonus structure and how does that compare in the market? Are we prepared to approach another club or does it have to be someone out of work? Is the new person allowed to bring their own back room staff with them? Do we want British or continental? Does the person have to have a promotion on their CV? Is style of play important or purely results? Do we want experience or maybe an ex 'big name' player? Come back with answers to these and the fans might be able to to come up with a name or two. Fans seem to be doing ok with answering who they would want, which was my question. Not who will DC want, but who individual fans who want CC gone want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Realistically, Smith, Heckinbottom, Johnson are good options, play the game in the right way, know this league and would be low risk options. I have a nagging doubt as to whether our expectations may be too much for them, but we have to look shorter term and focus on each game. We have had our eye on the Premier League too much, believing it was a formality after our final defeat, reflected in our pricing and taken our eye of the ball with regard to actually getting their first. For me the key question for this season (at least) is, would the above get more out of this squad, put out a better product on the pitch and consequently improve our league position...for me the answer is yes.

Vernon1867 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Mick McCarthy is the best option by a country mile. But he doesn't strike me as the type who'd desert his club mid season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningaround Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I’m not sold on who would be a risk free replacement and who is available right now. If it’s any wish that is realistic then I would go for Fulham’s manager. Plays great football, been promoted and can handle expectation of owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we can narrow it down by saying Pep isn't realistic, but, you are right to a degree, which was the reason I asked the question, so many people just want Carlos out with no idea who even they would put in charge. So, we could get rid of Carlos and get a whole lot worse. Honestly, out of those mentioned I'd like Lee Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fife_owl Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'd be reasonably happy with Steve Bruce. I suspect he and Villa would mutually separate and I think he has a soft spot for us. i think Villa was a mistake for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had to suffer a Humiliating Defeat to our Cross City Neighbours, who are operating on a small budget compered to ours, and to be beaten twice by the worst team in the league,has left your take over just a distant memory, and simple not GOOD ENOUGH,so set your personal feelings aside as i know you like him, like a lot of the Fan Base who don't know any better,and employ some one who will not only get us Promoted, which wont be hard with this Squad,but will play with the style to justify the Fabulous Wages you pay them,when the average Fan can only Dream about that kind of Money.

0114 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 One things for certain. A lot of managers would love his job. When Carlos took over many people would have looked at the job as risky... we hadn't spent any money up to then, foreign owners never really seem to reliable and it was a very average playing squad. Now people will see it as a very attacking squad, huge depth, chairman really has backed his man and given him plenty of time and money. I gurantee we could bring in a real top proven manager. Someone's whose done it at this level before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
