Lush Vlad Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It's not so much about who we could get or who would actually want the job, but rather who fits Ashley's idea of a manager. It'd be someone to do his bidding and someone who's forever indebted to him for lending him the chance. Like Pardew and McClaren. The manager is key to his construction, but will always expose him for what he is. The thread title is "Who would you go for?"... Well in that case. I want Guardiola, with Enrique as his assistant.

I was obviously being facetious It seems there is quite a small pool of managers to choose from though. The ones that Ashley would actually appoint and the ones that would actually work for him. I'd argue that the majority of the options on that list are unrealistic. I'm just hoping that the threat of relegation and the big money that he'll lose out on. Means that Ashley's hand is forced and he actually appoints a competent manager. It would be nice for him to panic in a good way and properly back a quality manager in the transfer market. Although TBH. We deserve to go down and there is the outside chance that Ashley would sell. So maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. If the last 2-3 years are anything to go by. Then what is the point of us being in the Premier League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 De Boer, Favre or Bielsa. To be totally honest, i don't think it will matter much who we go for Yes McClaren is out of his depth but our problems lie even deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 In a functioning club without our recent history of failure and insufficient investment, McClaren would easily be able to manage us into mid-table at least IMO. The manager is a side-show to why we're really failing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I know it's difficult to sift through different grades of shite, but man Harry Rednapp at the helm is a disturbing thought. Discussing that arsehole vs Pulis is like asking which knee cap you'd prefer to be shot in. Neither are quite in the same league as Neil Warnock but any of them three would see me fitting a hose pipe to my car exhaust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Would prefer to be shot in the left knee cap by far, it would actually be one of the easiest decisions I could think of. Fuck having my better knee shot to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Anyone keeping tabs with League One? Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink is doing well with Burton Albion.

Impossibly Daft Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sven? You seriously think a feel-good chequebook manager with an addiction to playing strikers on the left wing, whose last job in English football was a mid-table showing in the Championship with a huge budget is the man for the job?

Colos Short and Curlies Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It would need to be an impact manager now. We're basically looking for someone with a personality to come in to kick some lazy asses into some form of performance. Unfortunately Sherwood might just be the right man for now. Longer term you'd hope that the same impact manager can then develop his own squad (which I don't think Sherwood can). Basically we need a Keegan type again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
