I’d be very pleasantly surprised if we looked abroad for a name, it’s such an extreme rarity for League 1 clubs to go down that route, over the past 5-6 years, Barnsley are about the only club to have done so. 
 

The norm for League 1 clubs is recruiting managers who have been around the English leagues, or hiring assistant managers/coaches who are also involved in the English game. 
 

Even if we do look overseas, knowing us, it will probably end up being Lee Johnson.

I like the thought of going for an assistant. 
Paddy McCarthy or Jason Tindall if Howe leaves Newcastle. 
Maybe Thelin we’ll look at again as he was linked with us before getting Rowett. 

Jimmy Thelin 

Eirik Horneland 

Steffen Baumgart 

Thomas Reis 

Vasco Matos 

Marcel Rapp 

Not sure how realistically any of these are but they are all readily available. 
I’m sure Thelin was linked with us before we hired Rowett. 

Anyone been tonight? 
He was great. 
Incredible what he did for us.

The sticking point with Bilic and Blackburn seems to be that he wants a massive pay-off guaranteed in the event they sack him. I’m not sure we want to go down that road again.

I didn’t know that. Not something we should be even considering then. 
I fully expect him to get the job then and have a 5 year contract with these clowns. 

Have we given up on the Dutch guy who was extremely unlikely to get and Karel Geraerts from Reims? 
Geraerts has left Reims so is available.

My West Ham mate is very fond of Bilic, would be better off with him than a few, I just really don’t want Martin or Rowett

Completely agree. 
Rather have Bilic than the other 2.

I meant Bilic, my bad

We’ll prob end up with Bilic and they’ll get Challinor.

Hopefully waiting for Blackburn to go for Ismael and leave us as Challinors only option- we can dream

Why would Blackburn go back for Ismael when they only sacked him last season? 

Will be interesting to see if Paddy McCarthy stays on at Palace if Pierre Sage comes in and wants to bring his own coaches with him.

I do disagree about the bore fest under Enzo, you can’t help how the opposition sets up against you week in week out. But that’s a conversation for another day  

You’re right it is a conversation for another day. 
I’ll just agree to disagree with you. 😂

The answer always appears so obvious and realistic yet somehow they get it so wrong baring Enzo. 

Our recent appointments have been dreadful apart from Enzo. 
Even under Enzo it was a bore fest to watch. 
It will be more down to luck than good judgement who we end up with next imo.

Interested in Revell (look at his record at Orient as well as Stevenage - he's 'up and coming' and affordable. But the main man according to our insider is Wagner. Depends on whether he wants to leave Germany, but Leicester are the biggest club he's been linked with and our source has indicated he'd be willing to listen to an offer. 

 

No Russell Martin links - think he'll resume whatever's left of his managerial career abroad. Dave Challinor will go to Blackburn with his back room staff from Stockport.

 

We did hear a rumour about names that haven't been mentioned on here - interestingly, Roberto Di Matteo was linked and so was Richie Wellens. I've been told they're not being considered. 

When was he at Orient? 
Can’t find anything apart from him being at Stevenage. 

I’m struggling to think of anyone worse than Martin. 
Would rather we take a chance on an assistant coach like Paddy McCarthy or Jason Tindall.

Signed so much shite for Sheff United.

Will fit in perfectly here then. 
Not suggesting I want him but could see us getting him. 

I could see us going for Ruben Selles. 
Ticks the boxes with these clowns. 
Previously at Southampton and has experience in league 1. 

I hope we’ve at least spoken to other managers who have no previous connection with Southampton. 
I somehow doubt it.

Alan Nixons story for us today was that we are close to finalising Martin 

Please tell me there’s another manager we’re interested in who’s name is Martin and it’s not that arrogant twat. 

Rumours that Challinor is leaving Stockport. 
Really hope we get him. 
 

I look forward to Arteta moaning next season when sides come to the Emirates and do exactly what Arsenal did in the final.

Why does everyone hate Russel Martin so much ? Genuine question 

Football related - he’s an arrogant twat. 
 

Non football related - he’s married to Lucy Pinder. 

We’ve learnt absolutely nothing in recent years if reports are true with Martin. 
Throwing money at that arrogant ***** shows once again how clueless we are. 
Just like previous summers with Rohl and Corberan we should be going for Challinor and paying the compensation for him. 
 

Guaranteed Russell Martin would get us out of league 1. 
The problem is we’d head straight to league 2 with him in charge.
