Manager for the Championship rebuild - who do you want?

[BenTheFox]

I think Dean Smith falls into the category of 'we could do worse'. My biggest concern about him is that he doesn't really seem to have a recognisable playing style. I understand not seeing that in the 8 games he had here because he had to get results by whatever means necessary and he didn't have time to really put a stamp on how he wants us to play, but it was one of his biggest criticisms at Norwich and at Villa. I just think he's a decent championship manager. I'm certainly not enthusiastic about the prospect of him being our permanent manager. 

 

I think keeping Smith avoids any possibility of the complete disaster of a successive relegation happening but I wouldn't be confident of bouncing straight back under him.

Imagine the scenes of the online meltdowns from Celtic fans if we nicked another one of their managers

I'll be surprised if any backroom staff changes. Rudkin might throw an analyst and a physio under the bus after reviewing his performance.

i've seen the review and its recommendations - we're releasing wellens, the birch and the fella who plays the horn .....

He’s on Tottenham’s shortlist, we have no chance!

They'll certainly be rejoicing in the streets of Rotterdam that one of their own will be managing in the mighty Skybet 

[Bluearmyfox28]

I wonder if these big names are being branded due to the level of interest we are receiving/responses we are getting or whether it’s just the board are brain dead.

 

I think we all know it’s likely the latter.

Seems like we no real idea on who to appoint …

There have been a few good shouts for Manager for us, whoever it is will need to steady the ship first and foremost. I'd like some that'll give young players a chance and build for the future.

Am I utterly delusional for thinking that we’d still be an attractive proposition for Potter?

He got a massive payoff at Chelsea and can rebuild his reputation/convalesce at Leicester, which must be a great place to work in terms of facilities.

It's not completely beyond the realms of possibility, but I highly doubt that it will happen. His stock is still high enough to land a decent premier league job.

But what I would say is that IF the club were to pull it off, it would be a huge statement of intent and would go a long way to getting people back on side.

Realistically the only offer he's like to get for a team that will definitely be above us in 3 years is possibly Spurs. Places like Palace and Everton take a long time to change the culture of mediocrity, we had 9 years in the big league with success and the majority of our fans meekly accepted relegation. How long would it take for those fans to Realistically believe they can do anything consistently?

I just want to fast forward a couple of weeks so we can get over this boring bit and start the exciting speculation of who is going to come in before we inevitably get Alan Pardew.

It’s going to be Smith, isn’t it?

But you know we will have won the championship, be back in PL and won the league cup and Spurs still won’t have a trophy

Would be an absolute coup if we pulled it off but I’d say it’s very unlikely.

Unless they are for other clubs and Steven Gerrard is the favorite. Then they are brilliant!
