Managerial replacements

No we’re not left with dross. You’re just punting around the big names.

 

We should go lower and try a manager who has been successful in the football league.
 

For me, Wellens has done enough now for him to get a crack in the Championship. Successful at Swindon and now Leyton Orient (ignoring the mess of Oldham and Salford). I don’t think he would stand for certain players and always seemed knowledgeable about football. 
 

We’ve got the get away from the big names, although I don’t think this ownership will.

Exactly. Big names and tiki taka with this shit bunch of players. I'd rather Dyche and some players with some bloody fight for the shirt.

Get him in as manager and a redbull sponsorship

[cityfanlee23]

Absolue Priority:
Danny Rohl
Urs Fischer (unlikely) 
Claude Puel (I'm genuinely serious, he's a builder and has an eye for players)

Gamble:
Marti Cifuentes (currently at QPR and has been slowly turning them around)
Kasper Hjulmand
Gary O'Neil (not sold on him, but I thought his wolves team looked quite unlucky through their bad run)
Henrik Rydstrom 

Abel Ferreira

Give it Steve Walsh until end of season,he won't take shite from players and could install a bit of grit.

Grit or steel ... whatever you want to call it cannot be trained into a player ... you either have it or you don't  .... we need a couple of nasty players to keep the others on their dainty feet 

[Parker Pen]

In our current predicament I would go for Dyche. When he went into Everton having taken over from Fat Frank he couldn’t believe how unfit the players were!

 

He got them fit and organised and made them hard to play against, working with what he had. He wouldn’t stand for our defenders watching the ball either bounce in front of them or sail over their heads that’s for sure.

I know that Everton fans were thankful for his tenure during their desperate times. Exactly where we are now! He’s handed the baton over to Moyes with the team fit and organised. Now they are flying.

 

We need one more point than the team occupying 18th. Thats what we need and  he achieved that on several occasions with both Burnley and Everton.

Firefighter in for the end of the season. 

 

Someone with a backbone and a pair of bollocks to sell, be ruthless, promote youth and carry the club forward.

I don’t want him but could see us getting Carrick. On the verge of getting sacked at Middlesbrough. A big ish name which seems to be more important for the club rather than having an experienced decent manager. 

Well having watched his side lose again last night,  with most of the players looking totally clueless,  and Nacho lumbering around up front,  I think he'd fit right in here..

[tinpot_fox]

Come guys, we all know it will be the manager of the team who beat us last, so RVN until the end of the season (because which manager would come here to have a relaxation on their CV), and then the Bournemouth manager next season…

[Analysethis]

I think we have to think youth and long term. If we are honest, this season is now almost impossible to overturn with key injuries, little backing in the stands as we are in "change mode" and not getting the boost of a Winter transfer window. 

 

I`d go for Liam Rosenior who is doing well at Strasbourg.

 

A left field choice would be Bayern Munich coach Aaron Danks who is very highly regarded as a coach. He has worked in Belgium which is a market I am so surprised we are not tapping into more often with the links to the club has, and would be one unlikely to be poached.

Don't worry guys. Top has got someone on it.

 

They're producing a spreadsheet of which manager's have beat us the most in our history, that have managed in the Premier League for at least one game and available for a free, with no assistant manager or coaches to come with them. 

 

It's part of an internal review that's going on at the minute. They'll announce the results from the review when the redaction clauses expires in 2075.

Decent list but I guarantee other than Puel and O’Neill our lot would  either have heard of most them or look beyond the fact they don’t have premier league experience. We are so lazy and limited in our strategy and recruitment.

The big problem here is that why didn't Ruud get any decent support staff. Coaches and a number 2? 

 

I remember even Jaap stam (?) saying he would help if asked. 

 

It is total mismanagement from the board.

It's baffling - either Ruud mistakenly thought he could manage with a shoestring staff (he previously made comments along those lines, saying he's happy to work with what he had, but that might just be PR waffle), or Rudkin/the board think that he'll start to pull results out of his arse with a shoestring staff, or Rudkin/the board have fuched us even more PSR-wise and have left us unable to afford the salaries of a decent, experienced coach or two

Promoting Andy King up from U18s assistant to first team coach, when he's very inexperienced (he was player-coach for his last two years at Bristol City) and his role is seemingly more geared towards integrating the youth players, isn't going to be enough to make Ruud a success here

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

What's Gary Megson up to these days?

Even he'd turn us down. Probably.

I agree, complete mismanagement from the board, however, I just can't understand why nobody else has come in, I very much doubt the board would have blocked Jap Staam coming in on a short-term contract to try to help us. It doesn't seem like Ruud cares about it, because either he accepted he couldn't bring anyone in when he took the job, or he was lied to and would have a big upper hand in any compensation should he leave, especially if they also lied about transfers. 

I can't think of any situation where the club would say no to bringing in someone like Stam for a few months on an emergency short deal, I think it's Ruud who doesn't want the help at this point.

Give it Brian Barry Murphy and go for a full youth run next season in the champ. Alves, Nelson, Monga, Evans etc..

[Lambert09]

I’d imagine we go for a caretaker. Then a punishment from the efl gets announced. Then nobody wants to join and we have to take an Ian Holloway type. 
 

Danny Rohl makes sense but so did corberan so you can guarantee we won’t go with it.

I kind of assumed that was the point of the Murphy appointment, as succession planning. With his experience, he's ready to manage a Championship side.

A rebuild implies a fresh start. Are you actually suggesting we hand responsibility for managing that to somebody who has just stunk the place out at Everton?

But kept them in the Prem at our expense and through a difficult patch, I'm not saying he is the answer but we seriously can't be too snobbish about a replacement when we are literally on our arses
