Should we get promoted who could we realistically get as manager in 2010/2011?

[TRon]

Steve McClaren. If we can look beyond his Boro years and his personality, I think he's still a really good manager. Moreover, he'll be looking for redemption after Croatia-gate and we could do with such a drive. He's also went abroad to refine his skills, which I respect. Thats exactly what Sir Bobby and Hodgson did. Anybody agree?

 

This sort of appointment is exactly why I always argue that it's pointless getting rid of relatively inexpensive managers who have been successful if all you have to replace them are big names who may well do a lot worse. McLaren had Stewart Downing at boro, picked him for England, then dropped him at the first sign of media pressure. If Chris Hughton is derided at Newcastle for being a coach, then what was McLaren when he made his name? Alex Ferguson's gofer would probably be the best description yet this tool managed England due to the lack of genuine managerial talent in this country.

He overachieved with Boro and is doing a great job with FC Twente. Granted, he was not the right man for England at all, but it doesn't make him a lost cause.

Christian Gross?

David O'Leary?

The problem you will have is that, having promoted you, you can't really jettison Hughton. You just have to trust him not to cunt it up and get you down the wrong end of the table again.

Look here, I have absolutely nothing else to do except sup sadly from this can of Kestrel.

Carlos Bianchi because he looks like Larry David and it amuses me.

That's a proper Larry expression too.

is the right answer

[Dogmatix]

Slavan Billic anyone ??

[sugoinufc]

hopefully not keegan!

 

Chris H. will be given the change to keep us up....which is the right thing to do, even though i dont really like it! he is not good enough imo

[Ronaldo]

So how on earth is it the right thing to do?

[Gash]

Avram, Chris as his number 2. He could learn a few things and keep him in the thick of it as a thankyou for getting you promoted.

[Rob W]

hopefully not keegan!

how do we know he's not good enough?    I'd raterh take a punt on him continuing to develop than buy in some mercenary costing millions who will turn teh palce over again.............

[maze]

Avram Grant, anyone?

[Mowen]

Avram Grant, anyone?

 

Would be a very good appointment in my opinion. It will be Hughton though and to be fair to him he does look to be improving.

And he could bring that Belhadi bloke with him. O'hara from Tottenham didn't look too bad. Might improve our midfield.
