Imagine the shock and disappointment if you seen this guy announced as our new manager on the city website.

 

 

 

Not that Scottish moron 

[Lambert09]

 

I’ve seen about 9 realistic, english experienced  managers named in this thread that would 100% get us promoted. None of them are on that list.

 

Cross your fingers for mckenna because the rest will be adding fuel to our fire

Would Southgate be out of the question?..

Too lazy and tired to trawl through this thread but any substantive reason why it's gone hot?

Really worrying times. Still no inclination to learn lessons, think even a tiny bit outside the box or bring any fresh thinking into the club.

I'd say McKenna and Maresca are a bit outside the box, I'd expect either to attempt to bring a big change in the way we've gone about our business the last 2 seasons.

Urgh. We’ll toss around for a fortnight and then appoint Smith. Stowell safe once again. 

He will be anyway. The guy's been here about 20 years, so many clubs keep the backroom teams now to provide continuity. Of all our issues, the GK coach isn't a a major one.

Have you seen our goalkeepers? 

 

Ward, and to a lesser extent, Iversen, need a shit load of coaching

No, as long as the question is “who do you absolutely not want to be manager?” 

[chapero82]

We are going to be stuck in the championship for a long time to come with this lot in charge.

Mckenna probably the best on that list but a massive risk. 

[Samilktray]

Surprised nobody has suggested Glenn Hoddle. Been out of work a while now and must be looking at getting back into the game

Have you watched our Goalkeepers distribution recently?

Comfortably the standout options from the list unless someone outstanding is being deliberately omitted or applies for it.

 

McKenna plays the kind of football we built our success on before it went sour and has been here before, and Maresca could turn out to be another Pep product who transforms Seagrave and brings in some cheat codes on loan from Man City.

[Devonfox1884]

I think people are underestimating what a good, exciting appointment McKenna would be. 
 

I know I’ve been incessant about wanting Duff, and I stick by that, but McKenna would be a really good second option.

 

What we need the most is a manager that is motivated by seeing us as a step up, and although we’re now in the same league as Ipswich, I still think McKenna would see us as that. He got them playing exciting football at Ipswich last season, scoring over 100 goals and finishing second only to a Plymouth side who lost at home once all season and vastly outperformed their expected outputs in almost every metric. They were very unlucky not to win the league and would have done easily in other seasons.

If that's the 5 shortlist I'd go

 

1)Mc Kenna

2) Maresca

3)Parker

4) Smith

5) Gerrard

He is a League one manager at best !!!

[moore_94]

McKenna would be the most “exciting” in that he looks to be a good, young, up and coming manager

 

Maresca would certainly be outside of the box, club probably hoping his time under Pep has served him well and that he is another Pep alum who could go on to be a good manager, sounds like he is highly rated in that aspect as well

 

Parker would fit into being experienced at this level with multiple promotions with different teams

 

Smith would be the easy option for them, been at the club a couple of months already, experience of the league and being promoted

 

Gerrard would be the “former big player name” appointment, did well at Rangers (but my nan could do well with a big budget in Scotland) but crap at Villa, hopefully the very bottom of the list

Can see more names being announced tomorrow or by the end of the week. So far each day a different name has been mentioned. Potter, Gerrard and now the other 3.

First 2 are interesting, no.3 and 5 can bin off

[STUHILL]

Why the love fest for Maresca? 

 

Only job as an actual Manager was an epic fail with just 28% win rate

Kind of acouple of names getting binned off....and new ones added 😂

[eblair]

If no one else sees Rodgers in McKenna they have recovered better than me

 

Bloke from Northern Ireland with no experience playing at highest level and been coach since he was about 12
