Stevosevic Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Haven't we already brought 3 players in? Only two are new though and our central midfield needs strengthening. As does the defence - and if we are in for Austin, we won't get him without a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPM1983 Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Haven't we already brought 3 players in? Huth and Fuchs are German, Okazaki has just played in Germany.... Tenuous link to Di Matteo as next manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 I'd prefer Di Matteo to a lot of the dross (Redknapp, Dyche, Cotterill, Preki, Lennon etc) and bad fits (Hiddink, Ranieri etc) that have been linked, but his record is sketchy. The way I see it, the best fit right now is Allardyce, like it or not, but I don't think he is interested. I also think MON would do well with this squad, but can't see him leaving Ireland. I'd love for us to choose a younger manager with potential such as Montella, Gourvennec or even Patrick Vieira but these are the owners who go after the likes of Redknapp and Hiddink as first choices, so I won't hold my breath.

GingerrrFox Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 I see he's at 10/1 in some places so it's worth asking, would people be adverse to Gary Neville? IIt's a hypothetical shout and likely won't happen but he's got the pedigree, got the badges, has worked closely with Roy Hodgson for England over the past few years and would undoubtedly hold the respect of the squad. Plus young, big name, media savvy. Surely on the face of it fits the bill for our owners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 RDM could go either way but he'd get my support. There is makings of a decent manager in there I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Neill, in spite of his decline, would at least like the 3-5-2. The likes of Ranieri, Hiddink and Laudrup might have more trouble dealing with an overload of strikers, in terms of the systems they tend to favour. Maybe.

FLAN Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Haven't read all of this but is there a chance the delay is due to Nigel taking legal action? Could he stop them appointing someone new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagworthblue Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 it's odd but the day after Pearson was sacked, I posted I thought it would be.... Di - Matteo ( not wanted / thought) as I just had a strange feeling. he has hardly been discussed but i'd say the likelihood is rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 O'Neill, in spite of his decline, would at least like the 3-5-2. The likes of Ranieri, Hiddink and Laudrup might have more trouble dealing with an overload of strikers, in terms of the systems they tend to favour. Maybe. Exactly. Plus, O'Neill, like Pearson, aims to build a strong team ethic with players that give their all for 90 minutes. I think he'd love working with this squad and I reckon he'd be interested was it not for the worse possible timing in regards to Irelands Euro 2016 qualification hopes.

Finn Claw II Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 EDIT: The twitter point about not talking to players Well that makes me not want RDM - our team spirit was a massive part of last season. We need a good man manager. A manager should not be 'one of the lads' but that seem way too aloof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox 4 Life Posted 10 July 2015 Share Posted 10 July 2015 Come home Martin. He has done a great job everywhere he was been, maybe sunderland wasn't his best work but Villa haven't been the same since he left. He has the passion we need and is a legend at LCFC.
