We sold Schlupp for 14 million! Surely we can sell ourselves to a decent young prospective manager. I think Hughton is another I'd be interested to see what he'd be like. Hughton's an interesting shout, I like him as a manger but his stints at Newcastle and Norwich (in the prem) weren't great and I'm not sure he'd leave Brighton after building the side for a while. We managed to shaft Palace for Schlupp but I think that was them rather than us, our transfer business has been awful under since Pearson left so I'm to sure if we really are a decent club anymore tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 If no one has been sacked or at least details have not been "released" of an emergency meeting. This guy is not going this year. A disasterous January (and it was) with disastrous league campaign, if no one was sacked this morning, they won't go. It's disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSi13 Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 Sadly looks as if the board aren't going to act (no doubt still counting their windfall from last season) but my suggestions are: Eddie Howe Nigel Pearson Rafa Benitez David Wagner Garry Monk Gary Rowett PS I realise that most of those are extremely unlikely!

Wymsey Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 The problem in wanting Dyche is that he'd spend excessive amounts on average or just above average players, then blame any loss against other teams due to ''the other team spending more''.

Karlos-da-gr8-Fox Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 Wide shot but what about Gus Poyet? Think he could do a decent job here, still young enougg and has a lot pf experience at different levels i liked the way brighton played under him he was their Nigel Pearson thoughts?.....

Wagner looks like the one though, taking the players out to the Swedish wilderness to bring them closer together. Would love it if we could tempt him here.

Basically, if these lazy slackers aren't putting in 100% for a man who gave them everything, then they're not going to for a failure either. Especially given that Vardy was part of that failed England team. Dont think Drinkwater would be on the best of terms being left out either. And given his England and Liverpool exploits, Hodgson doesn't seem to have the balls to drop big players. Anyhow given his age, is he really a long term solution regardless?

lee7 Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 Currently I'd take anyone with a proven track record of getting teams out of trouble just until the end of the season. Then if we achieve that going forward I would aim for Eddie Howe. Im almost certain that he'll be the England manager one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 1 February 2017 Share Posted 1 February 2017 If Roy Keane has actually learned from MON, he may not be a bad shout but it is a big if. Wouldnt be opposed to them both coming in with the long term view of Keane taking over (similar to when Bassett and Adams came in). MON will never lose stock with the fans even if we still were to be relegated. I've said previously that Pardew wouldn't be a bad short term appointment. He always has a good impact in the first 6 months of jobs which is what we need. The most important thing at the moment is to line up the replacement before letting Claudio go. Time is of the essence now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete joke of a forum just lately, oh and some of these names being spouted, cloud cookoo land springs to mind. The one that has me amongst many others is Mancini, someone here says 'why not as we have wealthy owners and Man City weren't massive when he went there.' Man City were a lot bigger club than we have ever been, yes we have wealthy owners but their owner blows ours and all the others in the prem including Roman into oblivion. That someone was me...and in no way was I comparing us to man city...just stating that with ambition man city went to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 2 February 2017 Share Posted 2 February 2017 I think Claudio's Mr Nice guy approach can only work for so long, and was fine when we were winning, but I agree with some of the others who posted, about needing someone the players can't walk over and dictate what formation they play etc. I think Roy Keane is too extreme, and would actually cause more mess for us, not to mention he has an awful record as a manager. I think a big name such as Hiddink could gain instant respect from the players, plus he did a near identical role for Chelsea last season, when they went from winning the league, to a complete disaster, with players completely out of form and talks of dressing room unrest. I honestly think Hiddink would be perfect. I'm not sure if he would want to though. I definitely don't think O'Neil would want to. He has said countless times that the Leicester City chapter for him is closed. Other than those, Mancini is one I would consider, but again, whether he would consider us, is another question. We aren't your average relegation team though, as we are the Champions and even though we all know it was a one off, there is still some pull left over because of that, and so perhaps we could still attract a bigger name than say a Middlesborough or Sunderland could. Hiddink or Mancini. If neither interested, then we could take a risk with Rowett I suppose, but I just think this team have got a bit big for their boots, and need someone who is a big enough name, that they will all respect and listen to instantly.

ozvaldo Posted 2 February 2017 Share Posted 2 February 2017 If Tom Hopper didn't get his arše hole licked and James Pearson wasn't caught smiling like the goofy clown that he is, with his Zeus-like penis swinging around the chops of some Thai prostitutes, I'd like to imagine that Nigel Pearson would be welcomed back by our current owners. I think NP is the master in instilling discipline (clearly not in his own son, though) and making us really hard to break down. I doubt Ranieri will be sacked though. And I doubt he'll resign.

RowlattsFox Posted 2 February 2017 Share Posted 2 February 2017 Seeing some of the suggestions in this thread is making me warm to the idea of keeping Ranieri. I don't think any sacking is imminent, the Swansea game could be the final nail especially if we drop into bottom 3. Eddie Howe might be worth a gamble but wouldn't come until the end of the season I'd expect. There is plenty to like about him but he also has flaws. Same with Dyche. Rowett did a good job at Birmingham, but enough to get a premier league job? I'd be behind him though. Wagner is they type of manager i'd like but its still early days in his managerial career. I don't know managers from other leagues too well to recommend, but the Hoffenhiem manager would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshamfox17 Posted 2 February 2017 Share Posted 2 February 2017 This is a tiny bit off topic but some of the stuff said in here about Roy Hodgson is quite unbelievable, while I don't think he is necessarily the right manager for us at this juncture, people are acting like he is a terrible manager who has never achieved anything. He kept Fulham up when they in the relegation zone and not only got them finishing 7th and 12th in his two seasons there and got them to the Europa League Final beating Juventus and Wolfsburg (who were German champions on the way) he won the LMA manager of the year in 2010 so for someone to say his greatest achievement is to keep lower midtable teams there is just a load of rubbish, i'd love us to finish 7th. Then at West Brom he took them from relegation candidates to their highest ever premier league finish. As I said he might not be the right man for Leicester but the hyperbole on this board is astounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
