"Someone could be named before or after tomorrow nights game,".......bit of an each-way bet there!

Not if they're announced during the game

Maybe Pochettino isn't quite as unlikely as I previously said, with the rumour about him being interested in our job last year and supposedly open-minded to West Ham. It's clearly still on the unlikely side, and probably being over optimistic here but we may as well have a go. In 15/16, there was obviously the rivalry between Poch's Spurs and ourselves for the title but anyway that aside it's needless to say how much of a coup he would be.

 

There will be bigger jobs for Poch though and seem to recall he turned down Villa when Gerrard left, plus managing a team in our position would be something entirely different for him. MP is probably more of a summer move if it ever happened (provided we stayed up), in a general sense it's all about timing and who best fits what we need at the moment.

Fair point on Poch. You'd have thought he'd be cheaper for Chelsea than Potter and a better fit. Or Spurs, again, where fans want him. Or even Everton.

The only time I can recall Benitez  taking an interim role was when he filled in at chelsea 

 

we aren’t chelsea 

 

he took over at Newcastle in 2016 at a similar time and failed to keep them up 

 

HE IS NOT COMING HERE TO BE A FIRE FIGHTER 

 

hopefully the players will respond to him given his stature and experience - he wants a project and we seriously are a project !! 

 

 

Agreed just don’t see him signing a deal shorter than 18 mths.

Long term, Club confident we will stay up.

That alone is a bit concerning

For me it’s got to be Alladyce till the end of the season and Potter if we stay up. We need someone who is going to short term get us going and I don’t think Potter is the man for that. Rafa wasn’t much better than Bruce at Newcastle on the face of it, would be very unimpressed if we went there

Half time against Villa. 2 nil down. Ed Sheeran on the loudspeaker suddenly stops and the floodlights go black except for one illuminating the tunnel entrance. Then you see him. 6 ft 2. Built like a brick shithouse. Club trackies and bright white trainers. It's Nigel Graham Pearson riding on an ostrich from Bristol Zoo that he came here on. He turns to his right and picks out the fan who he said to "**** off and die" all those years ago and proceeds to choke him James McArthur style. The crowd erupts. He takes over for the second half and we win 6-2. Leicester ****ing City are back.

Behind the ostrich trails his wolf-pack which he tamed on a walking holiday in Romania circa 2010

I would hope they are concerned that is a realistic possibility, if not likelihood, and are acting accordingly (though can see from their actions that is not the case). 
 

Writing it off as not a possibility is pretty blasé given our position. 
 

We still have nothing to suggest that we are going to pull it out of the bag and survive.

You don't want Potter, but would happily take someone who has only managed 22 games with Reims? 

I would take Still because I've watched almost every single game of his at Reims and I'm impressed by the tactics and football they're playing. I get your point but the difference is that Still has Reims playing attractive attacking football like Brighton but Potter's team back then wasn't converting enough.

Andre Villas Boas worth a shout. Came to premier league too early previously. But I'm not sure he'd come now in relegation fight.

Is this guy ITK? What’s his record like?

Is there any manager out of there that would cause you to boycott the club if they named as manager.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

So has anyone credible said anything interesting?
