TOMBlcfc Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 I still have enough respect for the owners to believe that they won't make the poor decision to appoint someone like Dyche. He wouldn't know what to do with so many pound notes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 I think money will talk and we will get someone with a decent pedigree and I'm hoping it will be Klopp !! But in the meantime would you take hoddle or keegan ? Then there's klinsmann de boer or hiddink hoping we don't end up with a lidl special like dyche lambert or cotterill ?!

fleckneymike Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Marco Bielsa. The man is a tactical genius, great innovator and an absolute purist. He plays 3331, it can be an absolute joy to behold (and occasionally an absolute pig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilLCFC Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 I think we should try and get Nigel Pearson, he'd be a fantastic appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teblin Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 I'm big in to Viera getting the gig, come on let's give it him. He was a warrior of a player, has done well with Man City's academy but then again who wouldn't and he'll do the job on Cambiasso signing a new deal. Easy fcukin peasy. Not saying he won't be good, but there is nothing to confirm that he would be. A big gamble in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Who is to say Lennon wouldn't do well here? He's unproven so you can't really write him off. He masterminded some great wins in the Champions League for Celtic so maybe he has it in him? I'm not saying it would work, but it's a bit early to say it wouldn't.

Kalacs_Orthopedic_Shoe Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 At the end of the day, its a well documented phenomenon that clubs of our standing don't do well with just some bloke skimming blues at us all day; even if them crisp little fellas are being thrown at a 'big name' manager, like SGE. Pearson obviously cared deeply about doing his job well and seeing his team pushing hard for what we all hoped could be achieved - promotion, survival etc. I mean, it's amazing we are in a position where we can even mention the likes of Klopp - even if it is with a big tongue in your cheek. Pearson has installed a great deal of heart into this squad and I don't believe that these players are going to fail us next season, as long as someone comes in who shows the same intent to produce as Nigel did. Not just rolling up for a pay day, or their moment in the sun if it were to be an unproven Premiership manager from the second tier. At the end of the day he was a big character and a man who wasn't scared of what others thought. Some of us loved him for it, some hated him for it; but it's put us where we are (hand in hand with financial stability and superb fans and players). I just want someone in who will care as much as him. Foxes never quit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Who is to say Lennon wouldn't do well here? He might surprise everyone but I don't see it, he's not very bright, not very tactical astute and still hasn't done anything of note in a league where you actually have some opposition to face. If we have seriously just got rid of Nigel Pearson to bring in Neil Lennon then I really won't know what to say, it would be beyond a joke, if he wasn't an ex City player would be really looking at Bolton's manager in the lower reaches of the Championship as a genuine replacement? Of course we wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Steve Walsh Snr, maybe? Not saying its realistic... but it might be our chance of keeping hold of all the players and the Pearson Legacy... Offer him an improved contract, get him a couple of really knowledgable coaches, a tactically aware assistant and it could work... Of course, the Thais will probably want to spalsh the cash on a well known manager with some top pedigree....... What's sven doing these days?

JPM1983 Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Would Allardyce be so bad? He'd be ideal to establish us as a PL team. He doesn't really give the cup competitions any priority though, which I always think is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He masterminded some great wins in the Champions League for Celtic so maybe he has it in him? I'm not saying it would work, but it's a bit early to say it wouldn't. Lennon definitely has the ability to be able to become a decent manager, his impact at bolton was instant, we all know what a poisoned chalice that place is, Given time he would adapt, he has played the championship for a while now and that experience would do well for him. I think he's a future top manager, he gets stick because he was at a team that win everything easily... EDIT - totally agree with others though, if he was not an ex player he wouldn't even be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted 1 July 2015 Share Posted 1 July 2015 Just got a text off a mate. Not read the thread so not sure if this has been posted but it's definitely not Dyche.
