no not Mclaren

[swindonseagull]

How can Mclaren be favourite to follow Sven.. He might be a good Ericsson yes man but what has he done on his own at middlesbourgh?

Sam aladyce or curbishley gets my vote.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I don't want Mclaren either, look what he is doing at Middlesbrough. Sam Allardyce or Guss Hiddink are my choice. IMO

 

[Tooting Gull]

Six months ago I'd have said Allardyce could make a good international manager. He has the personality and the tactical nous to make a good fist of the job.

But in recent months he has started to whine endlessly about referees after every single match, and throw in pre-prepared nerdy stats from a crib sheet on camera. You've got to do better than that for the big gig.

Martin O'Niell would get my vote... good track record (including European experience), plenty of passion, knowledge of our leagues and players as well as how to handle the press, no dodgy private life.... just depends on how his wife is I would imagine.

Can't believe McLaran would get a look in (please God.. !)

Alternatively, how about McGhee with plenty of compensation coming our way !!!

guus hiddink for me. don't think anyone english is good enough

 

[Les Biehn]

I think Paul Jewell would be a good choice. Tactically astute, well liked by players and honest. However I don't think he would want it.

Needs a bigger job, but agree with you. If he went to say Villa/Newcastle and proved himself could be a great choice.

i think big sam would install a bit of (sadly lacking) passion into the side but i cant help thinking he a bit 'mike bassett ish'

Would like O'Neill. Hope his personal situation with his ill wife improves enough for him to consider this post.

McLaren doesn't represent a step forward in my opinion – his only real qualification is that he's part of the existing set-up. In terms of personality, track record, excitement factor etc, he scores big fat zeros frankly.

Big Sam, despite his "rough northerner" image, is probably the most go-ahead technical manager in the Premiership right now. It wouldn't hurt to give him a go!

It f***ing would. It would hurt my neck.

Harry Redknapp. It's shocking he's been overlooked for so many years.

Sophisticated in his approach to coaching matter and the use of sports science apparently, but not with his tactics.
