Ric Flair Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 Only worry for me about all this manager hunt business it that Derby could be managerless pretty soon too what with Billy Davis being linked with West Ham Curbishley will go there, they won't even take bets on it because it's that much of a dead cert.
Mort Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 I think Dowie may have been top choice for new manager, but now I'd be surprised if MM hadnt thought about Pardew... if he where willing to come I think any club would choose him over Dowie, as it stands i think Dowie will wait till Christmas, I mean who really would want to manage Hull or Barnsley
lookwhaticando Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 I'll join once there is a job vacancy 90% of people here reckon there will be, come January... which is the only reason I'm driving the bandwagon. Don't want to be left behind with my trousers down. Think Dowie will go to Hull. He isn't going to stick around to see if anything 'comes available'. He'll finally get that move North he was after.
josh_baskin Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 Seriously though Im not in favour of Dowie coming to the walkers. I think the ideal man would be Sven Goran Eriksson!! Get Sven in!!
fox123 Posted 12 December 2006 Posted 12 December 2006 I think Dowie's in talks with Hull as we speak type! Im wondering if MM is already talking to various managers already, see how they would move the club forward - and find out what players they could attract to the club!

Im wondering if MM is already talking to various managers already, see how they would move the club forward - and find out what players they could attract to the club! He could be, although it's difficult to reconcile such actions with his pro-RK statements both privately and in the media. The trouble is, the alternatives he may go for could easily be Alain Perrin or Vladimir Zajec types - not necessarily ones who could take us forward.
Mort Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 He could be, although it's difficult to reconcile such actions with his pro-RK statements both privately and in the media. Thats what was said at WestHam by the Icelandic owners, they where full of praise for Pardew (an experianced, sucessful manager on a good long term contract) but sacked him all the same and despite the fact that he was still popular with the WestHam fans. RK is in a far weaker position than Pardew ever was and MM (touching wood still) wont have any hesitation in brining in a new manager if he considers that RK is failing... and i doubt 18th in the Championship, purchasing Johnson and Low, the poor state of the squad and the tactical ineptness he's displayed make RK likley to be retianed.

I'm waiting to see if MM decides to buy. If he does, he'll surely take a bit of time to assess RK and give him a bit of cash. If, however, he boots RK out immediately MM will not have enough time before the transfer window shuts to get some new players in for the new manager.

Loan players he will, which is more than likely what MM will be offering our manager if he takes over this season.

Sacks Kelly one day, hires someone few days later (assuming hes already got someone lined up) all in time for Jan.
RowlattsFox Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Why not? Sacks Kelly one day, hires someone few days later (assuming hes already got someone lined up) all in time for Jan. just like west ham, sack pardew monday and then curbishley set to be unveiled today.
mat_j101 Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 just like west ham, sack pardew monday and then curbishley set to be unveiled today. Exactly. I think it could be done. MM should be in before Jan, which gives him time to do it
PompeyFox Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Jamie redknapp has already been lined up to take over. Am off to the bookies to put £100 on it.
Master Fox Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Jamie redknapp has already been lined up to take over. Am off to the bookies to put £100 on it. Where did you pick up this piece of information???
davieG Posted 13 December 2006 Author Posted 13 December 2006 Where did you pick up this piece of information??? Probably means from our Gary on match of the day.
lookwhaticando Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Thoughts: Reo-Coker fears for West Ham future? It's all hypothetical, but what would people think if we were in with a shout of signing him? PS: This is not a rumour, it's an opinion/thought/suggestion from me.
RowlattsFox Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 didn't arsenal bid for him in summer. he let it get to his head me thinks.

Master Fox Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Reo-coker would be fantastic signing for us. If Mickey had been willing to pay a little more at the time he would of playing for us now anyway!

If Mickey had been willing to pay a little more at the time he would of playing for us now anyway! To be fair to Micky, there wasn't a lot he could have done about it. Reo-Coker wanted to go to West Ham. We'd had a bid accepted for him, but he chose The Hammers. Also, do you really think he'd still be with us even if we'd signed him? He'd have been snapped up as soon as we were relegated or as soon as it was evident we weren't going to get re-promoted.
Ric Flair Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 Where was he before West Ham? M M M M MK Dons
lookwhaticando Posted 13 December 2006 Posted 13 December 2006 I'd stroke myself for a 1000 days. That's bad news then. I mean, if the fans REALLY want a certain player or manager, it never seems to happen. He'll stay in the Premiership if he's axed, I'd imagine. PS: 1000 days, that's quite a commitment.
