The Mighty String Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Laurent Blanc had success with Bordeaux, France and PSG and is free- any takers?
NewEnglandFox Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 I see a disconnect between who is the biggest manager we can find and who can help get us out of a relegation battle. For Mancini, how do his 4 league titles help get us out of 18th place?

Didn't save Newcastle last year, but if you could convince a manager of that magnitude to stay one year in the championship, like they have, you'll keep most of the squad, attract better players and come back stronger.
STUHILL Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Shocked to see Wagner above O'Neill in this poll! Done well at Huddersfield in the Championship but only been a Manager in a professional league for 18months! Guess people are buying into the mini Klopp thing. I wouldn't consider him until he had some more experience though. I'm hoping O'Neill is so low on this due to most think he will not be available to us, otherwise, surely he should be right at the top! Short-term to keep us up - Hiddink, then appoint Mancini or Blanc in the summer. They could take us to another level with the links they have in the game and the prestige they would bring. If we do drop to the Championship, then that is when I would consider a Rowett or Wagner type. I honestly think Hiddink is our best realistic short-term fix. Owners will have to chuck a big sum of money at him, but at 70 - will he get another chance to manage in the Premier League? He apparently turned us down before we appointed Ranieri last summer, so we know the owners like him, just whether he would consider us this time. Hope so. Other than O'Neill.. we couldn't do much better.

Mike Ashley had an epiphany last year. He brought in a real manager and made brilliant recruitment to go after the championship. I think trying to bounce would be risky for us. This league is too rich and parachute payments can't save everyone. We will have to offload so many players and who knows what our recruitment will be like. I don't have much faith in that right now.
lcfcben76 Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Hiddink on a short term basis as he likes. Then rowett if we go down but if we stay up we either stick with Guus or look for a quality manager
Benguin Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 If it's true that the under performing players such as Morgan, Majhrez, vardy etc want Pearson back, I have to say despite the absurdity I would probably be happy with it.
bob gregory Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Gus "wtf" hiddink ???????????? who wrote that list better still who are you 17% ,, should be ashamed of yourself, hiddink ????? fycking what are my eyes deceiving me gus hiddink !!!!!!!?!!??
sdb Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Hiddink for me. Long shot but a couple mill for 3 months...can't turn that down surely?!
Tuna Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Nigel is now the clear favourite on skybet, but the odds are by no means certain. Basically, nobody has a clue what is going on. With Rudkin in charge of the recruitment, it's anyone's guess. Remember how random appointing Ranieri was? It seemed we were chasing after Guus Hiddink for weeks and then opened the applications and went from there.
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 As well as the divine trainer did for us, I really dont want him and his bullshit back here again.

Herts4me Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 I cannot believe Pearson is even being considered. It would be a disasterus appointment. I'm not interested who the players might want, they are completely conflicted. I'd give Craig Shakespeare the next two games and if we get 4 points give him the job until the end if the season at which point we can make a more considered choice rather than a panic appointment.
ozleicester Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Given the media's complete lack of knowledge about the sacking, or apparently anything surrounding it... im pretty sure their knowledge about who will be coming in is equally clueless
Sharpe's Fox Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Nige is back in front c'mon Vichai give the people what they want
Nickfosse Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Isn't the point with Hiddink doing well at Chelsea last season that he knew and had a relationship with the players to work on from the past. If that worked for them, then wouldn't Pearson or Shakespeare be our equivalent?

CosbehFox Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 If we can scramble staying up, then the options open up. I'm all for Shakespeare getting the next three games with an eye for rest of the season. He has the ear of the players most importantly. If we stay up, someone like De Boer with his Ajax background could begin moulding us into a different type of football to be played.
Phube Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 My list in order ( make of it what you will): Short term: 1) Shakespeare 2) Hiidink 3) MON Long term: 1) Wagner 2) Silva 3) Rowett
Bryn Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 Martin O'Neill was a bit evasive on being asked if he wanted it just now on 5Live. His words said he was ruling himself out but the delivery of his answer was very unusual and not clear at all.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 26 February 2017 Posted 26 February 2017 The way people think we can just cherry pick people like Howe and Wagner is arrogant in the extreme. It will be someone currently out of work.
