Whats most important to you when looking for a new manager?

[Chrysalis]

Added this poll as it seems people are putting personaility above techinical abilities of been a manager preffering people like pearce and coleman to managers who have actually won promotion like warnock and worthington.

Please choose max 3 options only so whats most important rather then everythng.

[Zingari]

an ability to quote all the clicheed excuses is a must

[Leonisco]

Has to be previous record. If he's got the others it's a bonus, but at the end of the day that's the only thing you can truly judge a manager's ability on.

[Thracian]

Couldn't vote really.

If I had to pick one quality it would be "Positive effectiveness".

[STUHILL]

Record in transfer market will be essential with this job, as we have a massive rebuild and money to spend! Also, experience in this division is important, something CL greatly suffered from and actually underestimated the standard i think. Also, passion!!! We havn't had a truely passionate manager since O'Neil, if not for the team, then for the fans! We want our managers to get excited, get angry etc and bloody show it!!

[Bert]

If the manager has passion he'll pass it onto the players and that's when they start playing for you, as that's who they take inspiration from.

[Geo V]

I cant pick one. Maybe if the Poll was advanced enough for me to split 100% between the options I would be able to answer because you need most of those to be a success!

and Tigana, right?

[Zingari]

having a name like "mike newell" is one quality i look for

[lee7]

record in this division as long as it is a good one

[Daggers]

A commitment to charity work and an interest in children.

[Wils]

Fashion sense/hair style.

[davieG]

This is like asking what your favourite ingredient for making a cookie biscuit, it's the sum of the parts that's important.

[Master Fox]

Secret romps with the receptionist and club masseuse

and the ability to be greater than the sum of the individual parts

Exactomundo!!!!!

[dandannieldanok]

Basically someone with a good record wherever they have plied their trade. If a candidate has a good record then 9 times out of ten transfer experience e.t.c will be part of the package and come naturally.

[Joe.]

Good record all over and experience in the transfer market for me.

Apart from that I couldn't care less who they are...

Chocolate chip.

[MC Prussian]

He needs to be foreign, come with a tremendous sense for current fashion trends, be able to mumble some sentences in English, behave like a cock and have an impressive air about him.

[Scow]

Youth - a track record of winning a U18's league is a must.

[Durnerz]

All of the above

[Geo V]

A world war 2 winners medal, a world cup medal and a Miss World crown accompanied with a sash.

[The Stig]

The most important thing for me is the managers ability not to be either Craig Levien or Dennis Wise. I think passion has a huge part to pay as the players need to be motivated if things start to go wrong, Adams, Levien, Basset, Taylor Kelly couldn't do that.

[Thracian]

Actually appointing one BEFORE the new season starts.
