Oops, sorry. I just saw Neville and the mist descended. I didn't read the rest properly.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:What? whatavidone?Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Wash your mouth out with soap n water and think before you type manLost Leopard Spot wrote:Gary Neville???

Then again, I suppose the question being asked is "who would you like to see", so as you were; but he'd never be my choice purely from the smell of ManUre that still clings.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
There was a long discussion about Gary Neville the other week, so I thought I'd put him in there as he had plenty of proponents (and a fair few opponents).
I pondered Ian Holloway but I strongly doubt he would leave a club where he's very well regarded (and who are in a higher position) to go to a Lancashire rival. Yep, it happened with Coyle, but OC had ties to this club and Holloway doesn't. I would be very very surprised indeed if Holloway is a contender or even under consideration.

and quite apart from that - it would COST us in compo to drag him away - and the mood music is that we are skint!!Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:There was a long discussion about Gary Neville the other week, so I thought I'd put him in there as he had plenty of proponents (and a fair few opponents).

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
I've included the option of a lower-league manager (and Keith Hill) as I think we might be able to afford that. But Blackpool and Palace would play hardball, even if their managers fancied it. Same goes for Brighton's Poyet and Hull's Bruce.
Some will insist on saying Redknapp despite the saggy-faced dick saying he won't manage in this division (or anywhere not drivable from Poole). I also doubt Rafa Benitez or Glenn Hoddle would give up their free time for us at the moment. Ray Wilkins, possibly, although he's not yet thrown hats into rings below the top flight. We have to remember where we are now: you get very little residual respect for 11 years of top-flight football when you're arsing around near the shit-chute to Division Three.
I forgot all about Alex McLeish, who's probably damaged goods after the last two years in the second city, and Steve Kean, who needs a holiday in a quiet place. Other names in the betting lists include Southgate, Phil Brown and Dean Holdsworth, whose Aldershot side have only won two of their first 10 fixtures.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
Out of those named above (and I know there were options to pick unnamed), I went for Curbs. Can't see it happening though. Even less likely, I think, is the prospect that Gartside would want to work with Roy Keane.
Would like to go for Poyet, but don't think he's see us as a forwards move, so abroad would work for me.
Who I think we'll end up with (as opposed to who I'd like to see) - Mick McCarthy or Alex McLeish.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
i'd draw parallels with mcleish to megson. in that the fans would take against him straight away. has a stigma of playing negative football which seems to probably be justified.
mccarthy would be solid if uninspiring.
not seeing anything else thats realistic, i guess the guy at barnsley via rochdale would be an interesting punt.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
i still reckon we should use our 'Murican connections - Holden & Ream - and tempt over a 'Murican manager who is ready for the next step...
I know that nobody agreed with me last time I said it - but... surely it'd be tempting for5 someone over there who thinks he's hit a glass ceiling....
either that or an ace german!

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
We've got limited options
- can't afford compensation, so noone currently in a job
- not in the Premiership, so overseas attraction difficult
- not much of a transfer kitty, so no "chequebook managers"
I'd probably go for Alan Curbishley, with Ray Wilkins as assistant, if they'd come up north.
Re: "BWFC Legends" - if the club has kept up good relations with them (although the manner in which some of them were let go means that might be a bit dicey), then would be good to see if any of them have done their coaching badges.
Bringing in someone like Campo as a coach on a short-term contract would add a touch of flair and be a fan favourite - and if it didn't work out, not a disaster.

D'you know, I've got a funny feeling that our captain might be fast-tracked into getting his coaching badges.

Re: Now he's gone, who's next?
I would like Curbishley or Solskjaer but have a feeling we will go and steal Bruce from Hull.

But seriously, any specific Germans in mind?

Surprised at you Bish.
I'm not sure an unknown mixed record is any better than a known mixed record. And by mixed record you can say failure if you like.
