Yeah I completely get that, but OGS did say he would come to the champ for the right project, this summer we will be in a big reset position. I also think we need to go for some of these pie in the sky names, Bielsa would never have joined Leeds if they didn't go for him, Cambiasso to us. We are in trouble right now, but we are weathering the storm and hopefully if we are sensible (LOL) we can get back on a decent footing. Robins would be a great appointment though.

I wouldn't be against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tbh. He's got a great attitude, has high standards, United fans often comment how he produced the best football they've seen since Fergie. Not the biggest success at united in terms of the league progression as they were struggling when he left, but in his 2 full seasons finished third and second, and they have arguably gone backwards since he left. He's hit and miss but I'd take him over MC.

NP as interim with a position as Technical Director would be the priority right now, sadly can't see it happening due to his reported health struggles, but if it was on the table i'd make him #1.

I was thinking about this Recently, I cannot see him coming here in a month of sundays, but he comes across as the sort of manager that would take on a shock project like us, he's a proud Englishman and doesn't come across as having a big ego. I think just the sheer fact that he is constantly linked with massive jobs mean he's well out of reach right now, and I absolutely detested the football he knocked up for England at times, but he's definitely a builder. I can see his next job not being a massive name.

Not all managers I want, but throwing a list of names at the wall. If I had to pick one right now, I'd probably go for Tony Mowbray on an interim, but if the club needed a realistic manager who was available on a free and also wanted a 3 year deal, i'd go with Hassenhuttl, if we could get any of the Pie In the Sky managers it would be a Bielsa/Cambiasso moment. Names we could probably get: Ralph Hassenhuttl Tony Mowbray (interim with an offer to become TD in summer?) Lee Carsley (Currently Eng U21 manager) Dave Challinor (Currently at Stockport) Carlos Carvalhal Diego Martinez Bo Svensson (currently at Columbus Crew) Martin Dimichelis Mark Robins Patrick Vieira Pie in the sky Bielsa to Leeds levels of shock: Leonardo Jardim Adi Hutter Urs Fischer Dino Topmuller

How the hell did he survive last night?? Pull the plug on this club.

Hassenhuttl. Every single day and twice on Sundays.

HASSENHUTTL IN.

True, but I'd back a boat load of managers to get more out of the collective, and i'd back a boatload of managers not to continue to reward lazy players who barely break a sweat. I'd also expect us not to be in the bottom 3 for stats like ground covered.

I understand the point, but the idea that the best manager in the world couldn't get a better tune out of this squad does both a massive disservice to elite manager, and massively overinflates Marti's ability. You're maybe not trying to, but you're effectively removing any blame from Marti and suggesting his capacity to get the most out of this group is on par with the likes of Pep & Ancelotti etc.

So glad I didn't bother to watch. I won't watch a single minute more of us whilst Marti is in charge.

I'm trying to run through all the scenarios in my head of how this will go, the confidence seems rock bottom, half the squad do not care at all, if we get 8+ points deducted, we genuinely could be at risk of going down, it will collapse us. I'm trying to work out whether it would be more beneficial to sack him now and let a new manager try to galvanise us before the deduction, or do we wait until the deduction, then try to bring someone with a bit of character in?

All I want is Klopp/Red Bull style Gegenpressing, heavy metal football. Just look at the turnaround Rohl has given to Rangers, 13 points off the top, now they are well and truly in the title fight. He has one of the best squads in the league, but tactically he has not yet revolutionised the brainwashing that Martin was instilling in them, at times they still try to default to "control" when Rohl wants high press, but he's got the basics right and he's forcing them to run. I've fallen out of love with football because of the way the game has been going over the years, so many teams are obsessed with this awful football. Can it look good? Yes, sometimes, are the majority of managers good enough to actually deliver this football in an exciting way? No, it's slow and predictable, and more often than not becomes "control" for the sake of control, and teams just sit deep to counter it. If we wanted to bring someone in tomorrow as a 2-3 year project, I would quite like to see Hassenhuttl given the job. He doesn't take any messing around; he demands effort, and anyone not complying will be gone, unlike Marti, who spent most of this season rewarding a complete lack of effort. Every single match I find myself caring less and less about this club. I just don't really look forward to watching us anymore.

Do not give this coach a single penny to sign anyone on a permanent deal, unless JJ hits his head and decides to join. Any signing under this coach should be a loan deal.

I'm always trying to look to the future with an eye on what kind of foundation/style we need to build, I prefer heavy metal gegenpressing style football that you see under managers like Klopp, but at this point, I think the club just needs a manager with the bottle to go in and headbutt someone, put the fear of god into these players and make it clear if they ever try to overstep the mark, ever think about not running that extra yard, the manager will headbutt them. F style, we need a foundation of players that give a shit.

This. I was hammered for saying during the first Sheffield United game that if you offered me a 10-0 loss in order to sack Marti i'd have taken it. He's costing us more than he's gaining us by hanging on week after week.

If he survives this, I'm done until he's gone.

Not my first choice, but a monumental upgrade.

I'm more excited about steam cleaning the oven than watching us. 8 years of this garbage football.

Give Roy Keane the job and a pair of fcking boxing gloves.

It's the thought that counts mate

Playing very well so far. Needed this all season, this is what should be expected as a regular performance.

Thomas could break down an attack even if it was a penalty.

Having listened to Rosenior speak (agree with others it was a little bit "linkedin"), he does have substance, and having watched them against Charlton and looking at their patterns of play, I might look very silly here which wouldn't be out of the usual, but I think Rosenior will take Chelsea to a whole new level. Can see Andrey Santos becoming a bit of a machine alongside Caicedo. They could be the best midfield pairing in the league imo.

Yep, completely accept that an interim may come in and continue the decline, but i'm of the opinion that we should gamble. I'd rather gamble on a brighter future than continue a proven path of decline. Plenty of managers are absolutely miles ahead of MC. I'd bring in Mowbray as an interim, but there are lists of managers many have put forward in the replacements thread.
