I doubt that they are but they could be waiting to see who goes up from the league 1 play off final. Either Challinor or Schumacher would imo be a decent appointment.

Forget Southampton and spying it’s much worse in France. Toulouse finished their season at the weekend and have got rid of the manager Carles Martínez Novell and replaced him with the Motherwell manager. All this happening within a few days. Do Toulouse not realise you can’t be this proactive and you have to piss about over the summer to get a manager in? I don’t think we have a chance of getting him but I’d like us to go for Novell.

He’s left Toulouse. Extremely unlikely I know but we do seem to be supposedly looking abroad so maybe.

Carles Martinez Novell.

I could see us targeting the other 2. We’ve got no chance if Bristol City want him. They’ll look at what Davies did at Birmingham a couple of seasons ago and think it can be replicated with someone similar.

Looking at who’s leaving their job’s in the premiership and the assistant coaches who we could realistically get. Jason Tindall Paddy McCarthy Tommy Elphick McCarthy has previous experience with us as a player and has worked with the palace youth set up. Tindall is assistant at Newcastle and although Howe hasn’t said he’s going maybe Tindall would be tempted. He has previously managed Bournemouth for a short period. Elphick is assistant at Bournemouth and is one of the favourites for the Bristol City job.

-4 points next season isn’t enough punishment. They should have to reappoint Russell Martin.

Tonda Eckert.

Didn’t even need to spy on us. But did against Oxford. Says it all really. We really are that shit.

Looks like Enzo going to Man City then. I do think that Emery should be at the very least under consideration for the job. Has done a brilliant job at Villa.

It took them until the middle of July to appoint Cifuentes. Rowett was over 3 weeks. Both were readily available. A complete shambles of a club. I’m sure we’ll appoint someone out of work.

Yes I’m going. Looking forward to it.

I’m still pissed off even now looking at Villa getting Emery and we stuck with that ***** Rodgers. Not suggesting we’d have got Emery but that was when we should have made the change like they did. Glasner and Slot were gettable at the time. Absolutely disgusting how we’ve fallen.

That was Holly Willoughby.

I’d take Challinor, Schumacher or Alexander next season. Would prefer Challinor but either of the other 2 imo is a decent appointment.

Finally we’ve supposedly looked abroad at different managers. All it’s took is a new director of football. What the fvck we have been doing with persisting with Rudkin god knows. Shame we’re doing it in league 1 when we should have been looking abroad when Rodgers was fvcking everything up.

🇦🇷 I was getting my hopes up. Will it be Gallardo or Almeyda?? No just one of our ex coaches. We really do look far and wide for managers…….

Who in league 1 should we be looking at if we go that route? Imo Michael Duff and Tom Cleverly should be at least under consideration. Is there any other’s that stand out?

Was never coming to us after Lincoln went up.

Jimmy Thelin. Wasn’t he rumored to be in the running before Rowett was appointed? Seemed to have done well with Aberdeen before it went to pot.

Do we have a good insight into his character? Prob as a player but not as a manager. He may have the attributes as a player to be his own man but it’s completely different as a manager. Keeping a side up in league 2 and having a less than 30% win rate is hardly a ringing endorsement. I don’t get this logic that any ex player will be a good manager because they know the club. That’s nonsense. King and Rowett being prime examples. Our most successful managers have had no previous connection with the club - Pearson, O’Neil, Ranieri and Little.

We are so reactive as a club rather than being proactive. They will wait and hope Davies or Robins leave their teams and try and get 1 of them or anyone else in a similar situation. Once we get turned down by numerous coaches we’ll end up with someone no one else wants like Rowett. Instead of identifying a target even if they are at another club and paying the compensation. They will never learn and history will repeat itself this summer like previous summers with Corberan and Rohl.

Alves will have worked with Manning last season. I can see us going for Manning. Hope we don’t but I’m sure we will.

Schreuder. But I’d be happy with Challinor. Duff gives off Pearson type vibes as he won’t take any shit and that’s something we need.

I’d rather we stay clear of ex players. King and Rowett are prime examples as to ex players not working. My preference if you want experience in league 1 would be Michael Duff at Wycombe or Tom Cleverly at Plymouth. I realize Cleverly has played for us previously but he has more experience than Fuchs. Dave Challinor at Stockport as well but I think they’ll go up. Going for the cheapest option has been our downfall the last few summers. We should have got Corberan in the summer Enzo went and last summer should have got Rohl. I’m hopeful that we will also look abroad having been linked with Schreuder. Fuchs wouldn’t even be under consideration if it wasn’t for him being an ex player.
