W H I T E Y Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Love the folk knocking Hecky. He’d be the IDEAL manager for you. Attacking football, doesn’t take any shiiit. However, there’s no chance he’d leave us for you. And there’s a billion reasons why. Paul Clement. Paul Lambert. Dean Smith. Gary Megson. Steve McLaren. One of those would massively improve you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 We need a dose of realism. Ranieri? Cmon now. It’s like the bloke at Shakhtar, he’s managing in the champions league for crying out loud. The temptation to come to Sheffield and manage the likes of Wallace and jones may be too strong to resist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 If people want to chuck out names like Paul Cook, who for me is a million miles away from being what we need, then I may as well add another who’s probably not quite what it needs (at the moment) Kevin Nolan. A name that will go a lot further in his career than Notts County - Where at the moment he’s doing a brilliant job. I’m told he’s created a brilliant working environment between himself, his staff and the players. Most likely because he’s still young to understand the mindset of the modern day player. If Cook, Hurst and Heckingbottom are to be serious contenders then Nolan must surely be given the same consideration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 3 hours ago, TrueOwl said: Karanka is the safe bet and probably the least worst of the usual suspects. Could be disastrous however. The problem is this is not a short term appointment and I think as a fanbase we're at our wits end and won't tolerate another brand of side-ways-backwards bobbar-scared turgid testicles for more than a month or so before the knives will be out again. This takes us back to the beginning of Carlos' reign, namely what's most important - style or promotion? Our objectives were confused, so we ended up with the wrong players for pragmatism. For me it's promotion which matters, and the style doesn't necessarily come with it. How many non-parachute teams have played their way out of late? It's Karanka for me, but they'd better get him in before the window opens because there'll be some wheeling and dealing to do, starting with the back line.

beloved_aunt Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I think this thread shows the need for us to have a clear plan of where we go next. So many people’s list is contradictory they have to old fashioned long ball managers and three younger possession based managers for example. We we need to decide if we’re looking for a short term fix to try and get us as far up the table this season as possible. Therefore your five might be: Pulis, Megson, McCarthy, Pearson, Lambert. Or or do we want to go back to an attractive style and set a style of play for the club in the future and appointment managers who will deliver that like Southampton have done and Swansea did in the past. Therefore your five might be: Hurst, Monk, Poyet, Laudrup, Bergkamp. Not it really sure you can have a mix of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then ticket prices will fall. They say that Pulis is 'Boro bound. Gibson wants another pragmatist in charge to emulate Aitor Eyebrows. I seem to remember Fulham going on all-out attack, then they lost to Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReluctantNicko Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Brian Laws - just think what he might achieve with a half-decent budget this time. Don't need Aitor "19th Nervous Breakdown" Karanka, who cracks up when the going gets tough - remember when Boro lost 1-0 at Rotherfham in 2016? Got Boro relegated with less than 30 points despite spending a fortune on unsuitable Spaniards and South Americans.

Quist Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 just noticed there is betting on Aston Villas next manager. Now if Bruce is on way out I would like him here he has turned round a mess at villa. Also surprised Gary Rowett is in betting another who would do a good job and has Derby in contention. Anybody know if there is unrest at these clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also did a realistic list before this one, though Fonseca is apparantly on our real list of targets which is amazing.
