Our only criteria for next season should be a proven track record of getting promoted (recently). Parker ticks that. Let’s worry about the PL if/when we get back to it.
You might think that’s our only criteria but I don’t. I’d like us to appoint a manager capable of both getting us up and keeping us up, rather than needing to go through more upheaval of tactics and players when it isn’t working out
The Championship and Premier are two different tasks, I mean even Lampard can manage in the Champo! This said we don't need worry if someone can manage in the Premier league whilst in the Championship.
I personally think keep Nuno. I was going to give a whole bunch of reasons but basically I think we’d probably choose a rubbish manager if we have to get a new one.
I think we may have a greater chance of keeping players with Nuno and likely wouldn't attract too many with a better profile. Scott Parker or Gary O'Neil may be up for it however as I suspect Nuno will want a fresh start.
I just don’t believe, after relegation, you keep the manager who oversaw it. Whether it’s Parker or somebody else, we need to make a change to, at the very least, transmit the message it’s not been an acceptable season.
I can’t see Nuno staying if ( not when !) we go down, the doors open for a free manager and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Parker, his record in getting teams promoted is great, the rest, that’s another debate…⚒️😢
I’m sick of us changing managers constantly. Nuno has got us to a points total that in most seasons would keep us up. He’s done plenty of dumb things under pressure but there have been times when we’ve looked really good. I’d back him to get us up and also do well with us if we came up. He came to a very dysfunctional team and first steadied it and then got us really pushing for survival.
The other thing is he wasn’t afraid to use young players in steadying the team. If we want a reset in the championship then I think he’s shown he might have the willingness to bring the young players in rather than buy a load of journeymen who won’t cut it if we get promoted again.
It would be really nice to try and have a long term manager rather than chopping and changing all the time.

I don't disagree with most of what you said, but IMO I just don't seem him staying, if the dreaded drop does sadly occur...
All we need is to get up, don’t care if we sack him after promotion
Lop, Potter & Nuno have been disastrous appointments
That's the short termism that has got us in this situation.
So we just keep a man who has relegated us, that’s high standards indeed
Nuno hasn’t impressed me since being here, 32 games, 33 points, I haven’t seen really any huge improvement, a few wins when we sat deep & were clinical, negative formation changes & substitutions, strange tactical set ups, I expected far more, we still defend poorly in a lot of games & the disjointed nature of our press yesterday summed it up
We are currently £100m plus in debt. Why would we want to pay millions in compensation for sacking yet another manager. If he leaves on his own that’s a different issue"
Personally, I think the constant changes are part of what is destabilising the club, and helping to push us towards relegation.
I think most people instinct is to stick with a manager and allow to build but it has to be the right manager as applying that to Lopetgui or Potter would feel like a bad idea.

We’ve always been in debt since the owners joined in 2010

So we then look at candidates who have good records in the Champ, not sure there are any better than Parker
Parker bored his way to promotion with Burnley and then proved yet again he can’t win matches in the Premier League.
Dyche would be our manager by November

It won’t happen, but just imagine.
They finished top the next season
Nuno knows how to manage the Championship
