    If we get Moyes in there will be more protests imo.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    And if we can’t find a new manager we should potter about looking for one
  • yoyoyoyo
    Some of the names mentioned, Howe, Arteta, are imo , pie in the sky. IF Pelle goes then I think he will be replaced by someone unemployed ( with the possible outside exception of Benitez , as they have previous ) and therefore free. With that in mind then take your choice with who's available.

    Yep there’s no chance sully will pay off our existing manager AND pay the comp to get one already in a role. It hasn’t been there approach in their quarter of a century of club ownership so I doubt they’d change now. And why should they given it is a proven model which has yielded them zero trophies

    Dont bring me dowwwn, Bruce!

    Do you have to pay compensation if a manager resigns to join a new club ?

    A moot point. Who in their right mind would resign to join us.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    If a manager breaks his contract then his club can justify a compensation claim. I believe some have specifics pertaining to compensation (and amounts) in their contracts. I also read Poch is still on Spurs payroll so they can claim compensation from his new employers

    Some good Italian managers that Canio do good job with the current squad.

    Personally, I would go with a different policy. All our managerial changes have been experienced ones; Sam, Bilic, Moyes, Pellegrini. None have pulled up trees (minus the final Boleyn season).

    I would go for somebody like Scott Parker. Would get fans onside, would follow a recent trend in football of recent former players getting breaks in football (Lampard, Gerrard etc), add to that he knows what the fans at the club demand, played for us for 5 seasons, London lad etc.

    He did a very good job at the back end of last season with Fulham, & they are currently 3rd in the Champ. Clearly he has some tactical nous about him. He would not be just a sentimental appointment, it would be a smart one, but a slight risk & change of policy from the owners.

    Permanent managers recruited by G&S:

    Barry Fry
    Trevor Francis
    Steve Bruce
    Alex McLeish
    Sam Allardyce
    Slaven Bilic
    David Moyes
    Manuel Pellegrini

    Would be a massive change of direction for them to go down the Scott Parker route.

    If anyone knows how to give a rousing pep talk it is Scott Parker as we should well know
  • stevesteve
    :hmm: How about Mark noble as player coach ,would be a cheep option for the 2 daves :biggrin:

    Arguably appointing Pelle was somewhat of a change in direction in itself

    However they don’t appear to favour younger managers on a positive upwards career path

    My choice for what its worth, would be
    Sean Dyche with Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole as assistants.
    Or
    Eddie Howe also with Rio and Joe.
    Imo these guys are within our reach/gettable.

    You missed Avram Grant and you could say that Moyes wasn't permanent as they had supposedly agreed a deal with Pellegrini before they signed Moyes.

    S&G certainly seem to have a habit of hiring managers with plenty of experience so it would be a change for them to consider Scott Parker for the role

    Imo neither of them have any reason to leave Burnley or Bournemouth for West Ham as its not a step up, its a sideways move at best.

    We need a keeper before a new manager imo

    Jack Butland? With him and Robertgo in goal together we should be better off!
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    ASLEF, my therapist said it was best to forget Grant, which obviously I managed.

    Now he's back in my head and I can hear those voices again (wibble)
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    I think Jack Butland would be a good option, experienced, knows the league, adds to English quota. Seems like a no brainer to me.

    Grant I can just about cope with but rodent :weep:

    Somewhat ironic that Slav's West Brom are top of Champo with Diangana, and the rate we're going could see us trading places with them.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    At least then we'll know he can cut it in the champo and we can reemploy him after we give Moyes another chance for 6 months :ok:

    I think the most interesting thing about Bilic at WBA is that they are a team I always associate with slow, plodding football, and he has turned them into a pacey, exciting unit. It's a shame he couldn't do it with us in the end.
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Always thought we were at our best under Bilic as a counter attacking unit, hence why we were so good against the better sides and that's similar to how hes set up WBA

    It was the season after where we moved to the OS where there was more pressure for us to be on the front foot where we stagnated

    Unfortunately I dont think Slav is too flexible, he didnt really have an answer when it wasnt working, he wasnt great at stopping a rut

    Will be interesting to see what happens when teams learn how to defend against WBA
