Mick Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Isn't the title in a little poor taste? Can you just take the "yet" off? The title has been like that before today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Isn't the title in a little poor taste? Can you just take the "yet" off? The title has been like that before today. I thought it was "hasn't been sacked yet"? Even so, it's still in poor taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Might as well kick this one back up to the first page considering that it's suddenly become pertinent. Right now I just might take anything that doesn't involve Houghton being interim for the rest of the season with JFK coming back with a new contract in the summer.

Guest Martin Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 First BIG decision for the new talkative fan friendly regime. Time to walk the walk fellas and get someone in, with a view to let them building the club up to the stated position of challenging for trophies. Still Martinez for me.

BlueStar Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It still is, and has been for a few months a straight contest between Martinez and Ketsbaia for me. As much as I'd like him here I doubt Ketsbia would be considered. Too bold a move, too adventurous and I doubt most people running the club have heard of him anyway. We need that kind of positive appointment but I can see us sending pleading letters and promises of long contracts to the likes of Venebles, Curbishly and Chris Coleman and appointing whoever's willing to take the pay cheque without rocking the boat too much.

TRon Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dream appointment would be Scolari. Realistic choices are down to Martinez and Jol although that one's based more in hope that reality as i doubt he is going to be available until the summer at the earliest, and even then we would have to compensate Hamburg. Can't see Ashley going for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's even worked under the DoF system and done well with it in this league before if, as it appears, we must stick with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 We will wait until after his operation and see how his health is before any other appointments are made. You don't go back to managing top-flight football for at least 3~4 months after you've had a bypass surgery. If Ashley is sane(), there will be an appointment.

Andy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Scolari, Grant, Sven, Deschamps, Advocaat, Martinez or Shearer. Get them all in and we'll have a management team. A different manager takes each match, depending on their speciality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different manager takes each match, depending on their speciality. Great idea! Sven getting the chequebook and the difficult games, Advocaat and Martinez for when we want some flair and carpet football, Scolari and Grant for the games against Chelsea, Deschamps for when we play Italian teams in the Champions League and Shearer against the mackems and Boro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 In all seriousness, Advocaat is a good shout as well. Very underrated manager. We should have tried to hold on to him after the 2006 WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love Advocaat here, probably my number one choice. Has Zenit playing some very good and attractive football. Don't see him leaving them though, unfortunately.
