People actually turning their head at Parker - mad - we would be super lucky if he even considered it with the state we are in - I’d take him with a heart beat 

Everybody would but he’s not gonna manage a club in league 1. 

Laura woods presenting the Arsenal champions league game last night looking stunning. Anyone got that pic with her on the touchline? 

Absolutely disgusting that these ***** are even in this competition. Hope Villa batter them second leg.

I mean you’d take Rowett everyday of the week over Ferguson. 

I’d take Stevie Wonder over both to be honest. 

We won’t but we need to look at manager/coach ready to make the next step up from working at youth level.

It seems to be mainly in Scandinavia, France and Germany where there are successful. 
David Wagner springs to mind from a few years ago as does Thomas Frank. 
I don’t know a lot about him but someone like Johann Louvel who’s recently left Lyon’s academy as manager and has a background in youth development. 
Or Daniel Bauer with a similar background with youth coaching experience. 
Basically what we should be doing next season and should have done this season with the young players getting more first team experience.

He’s got good relationships within the club wouldn’t say never.

I just don’t see him dropping down to league 1. Wouldn’t surprise me if a Birmingham or Wrexham go for him.

Duff is a good shout tbh.

Would he leave Wycombe after only joining them several months ago?? 

 

He talked about wanting the opportunity to want to build something at Wycombe, probably off the back of things quite not working out for him at Swansea and Huddersfield (although I think he was sacked harshly at Huddersfield). Would he be happy with what he has at Wycombe and not want to risk it all, with managing us??

Imo Duff comes across as someone similar to Pearson that he won’t take any shit and back the way he wants to play but also flexible enough to change system/shape during a match if it isn’t working. 
I agree the stumbling block is that he hasn’t been at Wycombe that long and we’re hardly that appealing to join. 
 

The options available to us are pretty poor or limited. 
You either go for someone with experience in league 1 or lower like Challinor at Stockport (as long as they don’t go up) or you end up with someone who needs to rebuild their reputation. So a Ruben Selles, Will Still or Ryan Mason. 
Failing those options you take a chance abroad like Huddersfield did a few years ago on an unknown like David Wagner. 
Zero chance we even look abroad. 
My preference is Michael Duff at Wycombe but I doubt we’ll even consider him. 

Valerian Ismael. 
Not that I want him but I’m sure he’ll be someone we look at. 

He’s on a contract until 2028 and we have no money or at the very least we can’t spend any. 
Can’t see this happening. 
It’ll be someone out of work. 

Imagine finally thinking outside the box and looking abroad shame it’s a few years too late when they should have done that while Rodgers was fvcking everything up. 

What’s the easiest, cheapest, lazy option for these clowns? 
That’s right sticking with Oxford reject and draw specialist Rowett. 
Would not surprise me in the slightest if he’s in charge next season. 

I really like Michael Duff. 
Comes across as a tough bastard who takes no shit. 
Exactly what we need. 
Will also change the system if it’s not working. 
Has criticized the Wycombe players after losing to Lincoln at the weekend and ending their chances of getting into the playoffs.
Obviously zero chance of us even considering him but imo it’s someone we should be at least considering. 
 

Wouldn’t surprise me if we ended up with someone like Neil Critchley. 
Currently assistant to Gary O’Neil at Strasbourg. 
Has previous experience in league 1 with Blackpool. 

1 win in 13. 
Dreadful manager. 
Get rid asap. 

If he’s in charge next season it’s guaranteed Ayew will get another contract. 
Get rid of both asap. 

Dreadful game. 2 shit teams. 
I’m sure Rowett enjoyed it.

Darren Moore is the Marti Cifuentes of League 1 

He did take Sheffield Wednesday up via the play offs in league 1 and then left because they reportedly didn’t treble his wages. 
So expect him to be in charge next season on 90k a week on a 5 year contract.

Indeed. This is arguably the most important managerial appointment in our history. We need to do everything we can to get the best candidate—sentiment should play no part whatsoever in it.

You mean since the last one and the one before that…..

I don’t see us getting anyone currently at another club. We’ve got fvck all to spend even on small compensation. 

Will Still 

Ruben Selles 

Ryan Mason 

Steven Gerrard 

Darren Moore 

Gerhard Struber 

I know it’s a dreadful list but that’s where we are. The only saving grace is I don’t think Mr Ego Russell Martin would ever consider managing in league 1. 

Sydney Sweeney with Ice Cream in Euphoria. Wow.

Russell Martin

Not my wish list but a good guess of Rudkins shortlist (alongside Enzo, Rosenior and Graham Potter)

Selles or Still. Let the Southampton obsession continue.
