To be Megged - to fail. To win nothing. Meg-Son hey lads - guess what - we are looking to employ someone on the cheap who is a failure - I think we are 'getting a Megson'! #football#failure#rubbish#joke#relegation by Samuel Alladyce October 25, 2007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson Chansiri wouldn’t appoint any of those managers - happy to be proved wrong. Expect a foreign manager to come in, someone who has a bit of class and not abrasive like the above 5. I expect Karanka. If there is any chance of Paulo Fonseca - get him in. I personally think there is only a 5% chance but that would be the biggest coup in the history of our club.

IstillhateSteveBould Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Very tough to name many suitable candidates imo. I think first and foremost it needs to be someone with plenty of experience. Preferably in the championship or at a similar standard. Personally I'm against an "up and comer" type simply because of the type of players we currently have in the squad. Nothing against the likes of Paul Hurst or any other lower league/inexperienced option, but I just can't see them easily gaining the respect of Hooper, Fletcher, Bannan, Westwood, FF etc. Big names at this level and it needs to be someone who they instantly respect (in football terms) for me. On top of that there's the expectation of a (relatively) big club. Very different to managing Barnsley or Brentford. Really don't get the clamour for Heckingbottom. He's done nothing apart from a 6 month spell with an excellent group of players. Or Dean Smith, who's also done very little and you could argue Brentford's excellent scouting system and fairly low expectations, makes there's a pretty "easy" job for most managers. We have a lot of British players which makes another manager from abroad seem like a massive risk to me. Potential language barrier, inexperience in league etc.. Leaves us looking for someone who would instantly command respect, knows the league, and plays a formation/style that suits our current squad. May not be a popular choice but I'm leaning towards someone like Karanka tbh. Available, realistic, knows the league, has had success in this league and plays a formation that I think would suit our players much more than 442. Then perhaps Pulis. Not for all the same reasons of course, but he'd certainly command respect and I'm sure he'd quickly spot our weaknesses and rectify them in January. Doesn't have to be pretty to win promotion. Struggling after that. Mick McCarthy would probably offer similar to Pulis I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably going to need someone with more experience now to attempt to turn this around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
