Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[Ricey]

Depressing.

 

Another example of a manager talking a good game and getting in the boards good books. I can’t forgive Smith for the abominations that were the Everton, Fulham and Liverpool games. He’s not the answer, but if the board think he is, why the delay?

 

The fact we are even considering Gerrard tells you all you need to know about the running of this club at the minute.

 

Also, why has it taken a week before we are in a position to start talking to candidates?

Maresca

McKenna

I'd take a prostate exam from Abu Hamza over any of them.

The following managers are named by Percy as potential targets:

 

Dean Smith - at his recent meeting with Top and Rudkin he was asked about how we could mount a promotion challenge and talks were said to be positive

 

Enzo Maresca - would have to wait until at least after the Champions League Final, apparently earned a reputation as the next Pep staff member who could be a manager, following Arteta

 

Scott Parker - on the radar

 

Kieran McKenna - on the radar

 

Steven Gerrard - in the frame after having held talks in April before we got Smith

What a fvcking depressing list of managers that is. Jesus wept.

[joeybside]

Was obvious Smith would impress the Board given how they are a ****ing shambles themselves. 

[pmcla26]

Maresca intrigues me. Anyone know much about him? 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Why are people like Mark Robins and Michael Duff never mentioned?

[Verumex]

If Gerrard is only being considered because he was interviewed a few months back, that's a good sign. 

 

He clearly wasn't deemed the best candidate then, so he certainly won't be now. 

 

But you still keep him on the list if you've already interviewed him, even if you keep him at the bottom. 

[Guest Bilo]

Absolutely horrid list. What the mince are they doing? 

[Lesta2014]

Regardless of if we want them or not the bigger issues is it seems like it’s nowhere near being sorted so that will wipe out another week leaving just 3 weeks before pre season starts, potential signings could be going elsewhere whilst we mess about getting a manager. 

[Guest Lako42]

**** this club and it's insane board members 

[SheppyFox]

I want someone with a fancy exotic name, a fiery temper too. I want to see some passion and fight, conte type.

McKenna is probably better than both.

[Brainy]

I'd rather Gerrard and Lampard as co-managers than Smith.

[StanSP]

Let's get Maresca in and get as many Man City loanees in as possible. Including Carlos Borges.

Jesus ****ing Christ.

 

And people question why I claim someone within the club give a remit, brief and demand on how they want us to play.

Mark Robins just signed a new contract. 

[SheppyFox]

Maresca will do.

Because it would take a modicum of imagination and competency to even look towards them.

 

If that's the options, give me Maresca and hope he has the Pep philosophy that's served alot of his colleagues well.

Knowing our club we'll end up with Ryan McGivern again.

It's like having a choice of being hit in the nuts with a baseball bat or a cricket bat.

Why will he? He failed awfully at Parma. 
Suppose he could get us a few loans from City though..

Can we put an end to the Potter links now? Not even mentioned in the article.

Of a thoroughly depressing list, McKenna is probably the best for making a team hard to beat.

 

Nowhere near what I'd want for a club who'll apparently be able to outspend everyone in the division though.

[Guest Mickyblueeyes]

Finishing 14th/15th next year with this owner/board will be a good thing.
