Now he's gone, who's next?

[jonnycooper]

I would like to see Micky Mellon given the chance.He,s at the same stage as Big Sam was when he came to us and he did,nt do too badly.

There's a few folk suggesting Micky Mellon. Haven't Fleetwood been bankrolled? I mean, Mellon may be an excellent manager *as well* but he's certainly had a sizeable budget to work with.

Bankrolled would be a sizeable understatement.

Yes they have..Have,nt we???However you still need to spend wisely..They sold aplayer in the summer for a Million....They,ve spent money improving the ground...Not a great deal on players.

Hmmmm. Some interesting differences as to who we want as manager between pre-Coyle going and post-Coyle going...

There were quite a lot of "other" and "Frank Spencer" on the first one.

And are we rejecting those two now?

Not that I voted for him, but I notice that Di Canio has dropped like a stone in 'our' popularity - that might be because we've been reminded (or found out for the first time) that he's a Fascist.

[jonnycooper]

Holloway would be agood choice although i seriously doubt he,d come...Are we attractive to a top level Manager(thats a question)not a opinion..

He's not a fascist, he's culturally complex. Keep up!

Not an ex player please

Exactly, well done for getting us back on track, LGM.

Di Canio likes the romance of the dream that is Rome, that's all. This is what I'm saying - we need a man with big dreams!

Oh dear, I appear to have been deeply misunderstood.

Say what you want about Di Canio but he doesn't like jews, blacks, gypsies....hold on a tic...did he make the trains run on time...? Was that it...?

I can imagine it now. How long before the 'Nazi Salute' was seen as a 'bit of fun' by our duckeggs?

Here's a name to put a shiver down your spine

Steve McLaren.

Why not get on the phone to Pep? If Pele was 'this' close to taking the job surely Mr Guardiola would jump at the chance.

What a can of worms this has opened.

At the risk of being absolutely slated I would definitely consider Gary Neville. If he demonstrates that he knows what the f*ck he's doing, he's worth the risk. He'd command the respect of the players, he'd be straight-talking with the fans, he'd demand fitness and commitment and his reputation might help us in the transfer market. I'd expect he has high standards and learned a thing or two from Red Nose over the years.

And he's local......................

[H. Pedersen]

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!

The American system is just too different. With the MLS salary cap and the byzantine rules that come with it, the most successful managers in the league are sometimes the one who can most effectively work the system, rather than the most tactically astute. Bruce Arena's skill in this regard just wouldn't translate.

In relative terms, they had wage budgets (far more influential than transfer budgets in non-league) that were comparable with sides a couple of divisions above them - we're talking thousands of quid a week even in the UniBond.

If he gets the job I'm buying a season ticket and then returning it in disgust.
