For me it is Pearson all the way but if we can't get his family to move then the other choice is a bit left field.

 

Ryan Giggs was an amazing player who I feel with the right club will be a better manager, he demand respect from players who play for him, the youth at the club will look up to him and want to perform for him, he has a lot of contacts and players will want to come and play for him. Add to that the Manchester United will be happy for their best young players to come to us to improve then and us. for me it would be a great signing if we could sell the club to him.

 

This season is not gone and can still be saved but the club structure and ethos can not be changed over night so the chairman and the club need to get behind him and in 12-18 month we could be a Premieship team but with a premiership structure behind it

Sorry room0035,can't buy into the Giggs "love" that some on here have.

i want Pearson I watched him as a kid, the last Captain to win anything, he would bring the club and fans together and personally has the best CV of everyone linked, the Owls link is the last piece in the puzzle.

 

But other than him we go for a been there done it in a Clough or a young up and comer in Hurst but I also remember the disaster that was Danny Wilson's reign when the senior players did not respect this up and coming manager.

 

Giggs has a rare quality to have such respect and also the footballing contacts, the media and the public love him but we would struggle to get him. He has personal issues as we see in the papers but I feel we would be a good match for him and him for us. But we will find out in the coming weeks.

 

At the back of my mind though I can see DC going for the cheap option and keeping Bully.

But we will find out in the coming weeks.This is the bit that puzzles me, most ex-players have contacts,i would suggest Waddle has better contacts,being a travelled ex player,(not suggesting for a minute he become manager) i also wouldn't be so sure on the "public love him bit",a no managerial experience guy,is IMO not what we need right now.

 

At the back of my mind though I can see DC going for the cheap option and keeping Bully.Would that short termism, to allow Mr Chairman to find the right guy,really be that bad of an option ?

I've got no time for Pearson. He's got a mixed record, and tends to have never 'roughed it' at clubs with no money. He also never speaks highly of us, so forget the 'one of our own' romanticism. 

 

Added to that he's a bit weird. Reminds me of Mr O'Reilly, PE teacher at Myers Grove in the 80s.

[joelswfc]

Villas-Boas into 18/1, not that it means anything.

Yes I was a Myers boy too saw O'Reilly a few years later after leaving down town with a lass young enough to be his daughter.

I'll take your word with regards to "I've not seen that article but will have a read"(prior to me reading it,i don't even remember him as a player over here) if being a football nerd consists of swedish third division teams/managers,then perhaps i'll have to become "nerdy like" and scour scandinavian,south american,russian,chinese,azerbaijani etc leagues just in case some guy has had a few good years.

 

More to do with the occasional lower league FM save tbh.

You see people and have a nosey to see who they are.

I wasn't aware of him up to 2-3 years ago but since then I've been impressed with his record.

I can't watch the bit on BBC as no room on my phone to download the BBC app.

Just seen that , his odds are slowly coming down. Was 33/1 earlier .

 

Be incredible can never see it happening tho

[Jeffjohnsonmyhero]

What is the point when the owner will have who he wants ,Bet its a  Head coach not even on the list ,Pearson for me ,But already said his own words ,He likes living in Sheffield ,That is why he will not manage Wednesday .

I wonder how many of the 128 who have voted for Fonseca actually know who he is and what he has actually achieved.

Or more to the point, how many more would have voted for him, if they knew a little more about him

[Mike Hunt]

Cant believe no one has mentioned Paul Heckingbottom  

[joelswfc]

Di Matteo another one who’s odds have shortened. Clearly a talented manager but not sure he’s right for the Championship.

[Southie_Owl]

Interesting that new names are climbing the odds table, like Di matteo, villas boas, Walter Mazarri

 

At the moment I would take anyone if it’s not Mclaren 

 

Tho di matteo’s win percentage at last club Villa was 8%

I may risk warning points.

But he doesn't half remind me of Carl, who works with Homer Simpson at the Nuclear Factory. 

 

Anyway. Enough jibba jabba.

 

BRILLIANT ! 

If Lee's philosophy of how to play football in this league had been adopted at the beginning of the season, we would now be in an automatic spot ! 

Play positive, forward thinking football with players in their best positions, playing to their strengths............Simples !

I know who he is but I voted for him because he looks nice.
