Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[Speedwell 🦊]

I’ve got a horrible feeling it will be Gerrard.

God help us if it is

This is taking forever, isn't it? Some sort of solid indication of who we've interviewed would be nice. I'm guessing no-one at the moment, or it's very hush-hush.

 

On the bright(?) side, Leeds, Southampton and Palace haven't appointed anyone yet. So maybe it's a little slow all 'round??

Reported in London press that Potter has turned us down for a second time

The time it’s taking is making we wonder if maybe we are after a manager who is in a job already, possibly on holiday? Or possibly have to talk to clubs first to negotiate a settlement? 
 

Either way we need someone in the next week or so. 
 

edit: In reality all it likely means is we haven’t started looking yet 😂

Latest soundings are jungle drumming some scouser who flopped managing a side that spent £350mn over the previous 3 years. Still, one small step up from Lampard or Steve Bruce I guess.

Obviously they’re waiting for Pep to win the cl tomorrow then they’ll approach him………

Can see him going back to Brighton, should they struggle during the early period of next season.

No idea where tf these Frank Haise odds are coming from, but he would be my absolute favorite if we could somehow convince him to come. Frank Haise coming here would be just as mental as Cambiasso joining us was. If Rudkin somehow pulled that off, I'd forgive the majority of the absolute mess we are in now. 

Aww come on.

If he somehow gave me tomorrows winning lottery numbers, I would still not forgive him.

Top/board going for Maresca....feels such lazy scouting, just jumping on the bandwagon because other clubs were interested in him.

I don't see it. They'd have appointed him by now if they wanted him.

Hopefully it will have the same impact with working with Pep as Arteta had. My concern is that it took Arteta a few seasons to get to this point and we don’t have the time for it.

I’d even take Brendan back before Gerrard or Lampard, great players, but absolute dogshite managers.

The only scenario in which those two should be considered is if the club is aiming for back-to-back relegation.

[Claudio Fannieri]

It has to be someone still in employment, my guess is McKenna or Maresca, given there is little news I think it’s Maresca and will be announced after tomorrow is done and dusted. Parker is possibly in the background as contingency if it goes tits up at last minute .

Exciting news!!!! Can't believe this has reached nearly 200 pages with no news. 

 

This will be one of those historic threads. 

[ClaphamFox]

Just heard that Potter has turned us down for a third time. His fourth rejection is scheduled for Sunday and the rest are expected at roughly two-day intervals until we actually appoint somebody. 

[FoxinNotts]

Get off the fence Graham! Do you want the job or not?

[Vindaloo FOX]

Just sign Nicky Maynard and let's get the season started.

Worry not Speedwell it absolutely will not be Stevie G !

No one has "rejected" us, "turned us down" once, twice or 3 times either.

However, reports are that Rudkin is still pretty sure he can get his man and will try again 3 times next week.  

 

Rumours are that Potter is considering taking a restraining order and has implied he thinks the club are now hassling him.

Haha we’re on the look out for a swivel eyed ‘ten to two’ bird, not the top totty who have walked in at 7.30 sharp.
