Where did you read that? He is like 40%, won 25/63 matches. I would be happy with O Neill, I think he is an outstanding young manager.

Oops I was looking at his wins lol

Doesn’t matter who is favourite for the job, the owners will go for the cheapest option. Not the best option.

[TheRevAshton]

My number one choice would be Steve Cooper, but by many accounts he'd be way too expensive for us (if he even fancied the job in the first place, that is).

So of the realistic options...

A list for me would be Gary O'Neil, Rob Edwards or Steven Gerrard - in that order.

B list for me would be Valerian Ismael, Raphael Wicky or Damien Duff - again, in that order.

As a whole i'd be pleased with any of these, to some degree.

This could also work the other way and we get someone crap/cheap who is willing to work without a budget….

I'll do it, I'm crap/cheap (or so my wife says) and works well without a budget....what is a "budget" anyway, I thought it was a little bird.

Anyone for joint managers?

Michael Duff and Damien Duff

”Duff and Duffer” 😁

Cover the bus in fur and get Netflix involved on our journey to Aspen Wembley…

Maybe we could get Jim Carrey to chuck us a few quid or make an appearance…

I'll go for :

A List.   Gary ONeil, Raphael Wicky, Brian Priske, Edin Terzic

B List.   Duffer, Rob Edwards

My overall choice would be Terzic but not sure how realistic that is, but Priske and Terzic certainly left field if that's the way the club want to go

Absolutely wouldn't say no to either of Priske or Terzic, but unfortunately they'd fall under the "unrealistic" category for sure, despite being out of work.

Those guys are UCL level managers, doubt they'd take anything lower than a lower-mid PL Club.

I'll admit Terzic is probably stretching it, but don't think Priske is totally unrealistic. Yes, he's managed in the Champions League but with smaller Belgian and Dutch clubs.

Wicky nearly joined WBA so that could happen if the problem with his back room staff could be sortef

They're possibles but unlikely

Just a thought on O'Neil, I'd imagine he had no say at all in transfers at Wolves.

And made it pretty clear that he thought the signings were shit… Sounds familiar

But we have idiot owners NOT Jack Walker! Slight difference 

[Bohinen1983]

I wonder if we might have a go for Knutsen- Isn't he really well thought of in the game?

He'll aim higher than us. He's by no means a fool.

[TommyRovers]

He won't leave Bodø. Several have tried.

O'Neil makes sense, but hes got pedigree and cut from similar cloth to Eustace. I reckon he will probably give Eustace a call to understand why he walked away and get the full inside view.

Wouldnt be surprised if he just signed to the end of the season. Or given the weird situation he might decline it after talks. O'Neil will know he will get a decent Championship job eventually, he doesn't need to jump in now.

but he might use us as stepping stone to get to playoff and put in his CV ....nobody has done playoff since we relegated

Think ONeill may go to Swansea.
