[Archived] Who Should The New Manager Be?

[Iceman]

Well just a word of advice for the new manager,who ever it may be. Please make super dunny captain! Thats a true leader!

[Majiball]

Well I'm hoping we look further a field.

Terim is a good choice current international manager should have good knowledge of players. Terim did a fantastic job at the Euro's with a nothing team, lucky or a motivator I don't care we need a bit of both.

Advocaat, Mancini why not? the premiership is the strongest league in the world, most managers want to manage a club here. There's only twenty to choose from and we're pretty much a stable club, so why wouldn't they come to prove themselves. The only trouble is they'll move on.

I just don't see our players fitting BFS's system, we lack quality out wide and who would play point RSC is not a target man. We lack pace all round and need to be hard to beat an Italian approach may fit, it won't be pretty though.

My man concern is that the club will just check out those available, don't forget if/when RSC go's our coffers should get a serious boost. However little money we have as a club we shouldn't forget the fact that most managers want to test themselves in our country.

There's one or two names out there, I can't think of anything more inspirational than a Rijkaard, Mancini, Advocaat, Laudrup, Schuster, Houllier, walking in at Brockhall. Hopefully one of them fancies a less-pressurised environment for a while? We should at least ask there's no harm.

[Mr Creosote]

Anybody who dosn't want Alardyce should post that sentiment regularly until he is appointed. If he is appointed you should then double the amounts of disapproving posts regardless of whether or not he has had a game in charge.

When he loses a game you should join an unholy rush to get on here and gloat, telling everybody that you told them so whilst dancing with your laptop and grinning crazily. You should act like a big kid at all times.

Sadly, it seems that Allardyce is the only viable option for us. Where that leaves us if he says no god only knows.

I like the sound of those names

[Greenall_David]

I agree with making Dunny the captain, but can he keep the injuries away! Maybe the new manager will drop nelsen, but warnock back to lb and emerton to rb. The realistic thing is who's going to be the manager for the game at the weekend?

I would love to see BFS at ewood but i don't think this will happen.

[Brownie]

Why did nobody follow John Williams in his car ?

[Bobby G]

Why, where did he go?

[Mc Love]

for lunch Bobby

[Paul]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but Alan Nixon ran a small piece in the Mirror today stating Souness is due to leave on a family skiing holiday on Friday. At present Souness has heard nothing and is still planning his holidays! Souey goes skiiing

[thelegend7]

I think we should seriously try and get Fatih Terim what an inspirational manager.

I would score a goal or two under him.

[Bobby G]

Didnt realize Allardyce was the favorite for Sunderland in terms of odds. I wouldve thought they wouldve appointed him already if they were sure especially since he is out of a job...

[Iceman]

Carlos Quieroz

Still dont think Sunderland,will appoint Allardyce. I heard that they want an overseas guy, and one of those names was Bilic. Also their caretaker coach will be in charge until next month at least.

[Brownie]

Do we have a rough ETA on Nicko ? Board is lost without him !

Henk Ten Cate ???

[donis1410]

Forget the Nicko transfer thread we need the Nicko managers thread!!!!

[Mr Creosote]

Henk Ten Cate ???

Think we are a bit late unfortunately. Panathenaikos topped their Champion's League group.

[RibbleValleyRover]

No chance on Ten Cate, hasn't he got his side into the quarter finals of the champions league? We should have gone for him in the first place IMO.

[donis1410]

Although I did back Ince when he was appointed, I personally wanted to see Dick Advocaat as manager

[gazsimm]

Big Sam for me, he might turn us down but if i was williams he would be the 1st person i will be ringing.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Mr Hoddle!

Great football, bundles of knowledge and if we can't rely on our players, we'll bring him on!

[Presty On Tour]

I'd like Faith Terim but it will be interesting to see who applies this time round. There could be a few names which have turned from no to realistic possibilities.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Good shout, no chance of getting him now though.

I wonder why we have never made a solid move for him before? iirc he has come out a few times over the years saying he might be interested in managing us? The guy has a great managerial pedigree.

[waggy]

when the new manager is appionted and we go down,do we sack him as well

[donis1410]

Hoddle isn't a bad Idea, he is a very good manager, just look at what he did with Soton, Spurs, Chelsea and England. I still have a problem with his sacking as england manager because I felt that he did nothing wrong.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Just a query about Terim. Is it true this rumour about him being Tugay's cousin? I keep hearing about it but haven't seen any evidence to back it up. Does anyone know?

[Mr Creosote]

He's gone, give it up now. Are you a Rovers supporter or an Ince fan?
