If we want a stop gap I think the most realistic is Pearson. It isn’t a difficult job if the task is to stay up, just need that fabled new manager bounce everyone else seems to enjoy. Couple of wins and we’ll be in clear air again, it’s not coming under Bruce but anybody even semi-competent would manage it.

Aye I could see Pearson tbh. Been here before as well so that probably counts for something when you're poking about the shitheap for a cheap and grateful saviour.

I think these wishlists of managers is unrealistic.

After Rafa left Charnley or our scouts should have been scouring the Continent looking for a European manager

Who did we get? Steve Bruce who was only appointed Sheff Wed manager 6 months previously

 

Why or how Ashley thought it was a good idea to pay 4 million compensation for a midtable Championship manager is beyond me.

We totally fluked getting Rafa in

I don't even think he would be bothered if he got the sack, TBF I think he would like to secure Premiership survival first but he just seems like a dead man walking.

 

From his POV now would be a decent time to get sacked. His media mates could howl in protest that he kept us up last season, and we are still well clear of relegation spots as it stands. He would probably walk into another championship job right now, if we leave it for another month we could well be in relegation trouble and his stock will fall through the floor.

Look, you better watch out world, Snake Belly Steve is doing it his way now and make no mistake, he’s a very, very good, average manager who doesn’t walk away from challenges and doesn’t let the mass hysteria or criticism get to him at all. He’s not bothered by it, not at all. Lower than a snakes belly, skin like a rhino.

 

Can imagine he’s got ‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty playing on loop in his head at 2am while reading everything written about him online.

Rafa didnt have 100 million to spend.. He had 5 million Joselu and 6 million Atsu..

He wasnt given 13 million for a full back

 

If Benitez was allowed to sign a 13m full back, a 25m wide player, a 40m forward etc and of his own choosing I have no doubt we would be pushing 6th now and would win something in the next 3/4 years

Charnley was obsessed with getting McClaren, taking no notice of how both our and Derby's seasons imploded

 

I would bet it was the same case with Bruce, he was the first and only choice on his list, for whatever inexplicable reason

Bruce has no morals. He’ll jump at the first Championship club who looks at him. Probably whoever Huddersfield’s rivals are, will only leave Brighton one day in the future to complete the set I think?

I think Charnley has been let off the hook too easily. As Shearer has asked where is Charnley?

Bruce says he talks to Charnley a few times a day.. about what?

Once this takeover goes through Charnley should be the 1st out the door

His appointments have been scandalous
