Ok Rafa might not happen I agree but I bet secretly Howe, Dyce, Wagner or Houghton would relish the chance to manage us instead of playing at their dinky little grounds. Sorry, I thought you were taking the pish so responded in kind. If you were really being serious....seek help. Please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight I probably shouldn't have put Rafa on the list (aim for the stars and all that!) and Newcastle are obviously not tiny in terms of stadium or fans but they are in terms of trophies - he'd have more chance of winning something with us. I reckon the other 4 are getable though. Stop it .... now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The Benitez one about ‘one last big job’ resonates. We could get him to paint the West Stand. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it deleted!!! To be honest with a comment like that you are part of the problem. Who cares what the blunts think. Concentrate on what's in the best interest for your club and take action to make it happen. I walked out of a game just after halftime not long ago so I know where you're coming from pal but we need to collectively think differently and demand better from now on.

Sonny Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I fully supported this plan to aim higher but it’s in tatters now you’ve broadcasted it. When all the other clubs read this and realise they just need to aim higher too then we’ll be back to mid table at best. So close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls-swfc Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need.. I don't need no presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just want OPs, like this to cease. More than you could ever know.

WayneTheOwl Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I was pretty sure the OP was thought up by a mate of mine who’s a blade. But he can’t spell or certainly concentrate long enough to type such stuff. This makes me even more worried that it has been thought up by someone who actually believes it. That is scary, very scary if it is the case !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls7 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Eddie Howe who's got Bournemouth flying this season leave because he's not getting sacked, for a club that could be in league one next season if we're not careful and no money can't see him going for that myself.

I totally agree with your point here but your op is bit like trying to pull a super model while having the chiselled looks of shreck .. and all these super models are spoken for!

Simaniac Owl Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 53 minutes ago, GrowlerInAThermos said: On this managerial situation I have been thinking and what our great club needs is a young, hungry but most importantly proven manager who is now looking to move to the next level. An appetite to succeed at the highest level, something they simply cannot do where they currently are. That is our trump card. If you look around there are several top managers at much smaller clubs, playing in front of tiny crowds who must wonder what they could achieve with a sleeping giant club and fan base like Wednesday. Outsiders might think it would be a step backwards for them but these top managers know you sometimes have to do that to take 2 steps forwards. Give me any of.... Sean Dyce - got Burnley up, kept them up & then got them into Europe. Burnley fans want him out so he could be available soon. My number 1 choice - we could potentially be in the Champions League in 5 years, maybe less. David Wagner - got Huddersfield up and kept them up. In the play offs at Hillsborough he must have wished he was the manager of the other team with our passionate fans and depth of squad at the time. Eddie Howe - got Bournemouth up and has kept them up. Almost an established Prem team now but he must be sick of managing in front of 7,000 fans each week. Chris Houghton - got Brighton up and kept them up. Does't play the best football but he could do with more creative players and supporters who demand nothing less. Rafa Benitiz - got Newcastle up and kept them up. Only a matter of time before the poo hits the fan up there. The only one I would question we could get because he's a bit older and more likely to move to a Watford or Everton.... unless he thinks he's got one more big job in him. All the above have got teams out of the championship and then also kept them up but their personal projects must be coming to an end where they are now and they will be looking for a change soon and the lure of a big club like ours could persuade them. Or we could just get Gary Megson. The latter is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
