Replacement for Poyet

[beardy gull]

He didn't go then, he's not going now. Daft thread.

Never ever thought i would say it but ....... Nigel adkins for me. He really impressed me this season and his sacking was a joke. He is the sort of bloke who would stick around too if given the chance. However if we wanted to stick with the same passing style we have adopted through gus then Zola is the man. I used to be a big fan of curbishley but think he has been out of the game too long now.

I'd pick me ahead of Zola ... great player, nice bloke but as a Manager? Nah ...stick him on telly from time to time, that's his limit I reckon

This being the Zola who has Watford in 4th place in the table on crowds of 15,000 odd?. It's Zola for me.

Completely agree with every word.

No a different Zola

Fair do's, he's done wonders at Watford and a completely different story to his time at West Sham ...

I would imagine we could attract a pretty big manager from Spain maybe from one of the smaller la liga teams that have overachieved. We would have to continue the legacy.

Roberto Martinez,please. Like the way he sets his sides up to play and comes across as a decent honest guy.

You read my mind sir.

Pros

Good footballing brain, nice guy, loyal and deserves a decent job, even though it means dropping down a league. Our set up is far better than Wigan's as are our long term prospects. Ticks all the boxes and a man i would trust to continue our long term aims.

Cons

None I can think of.

Would he leave Wigan for us? I just think he would.

That would be the same Martinez that turned down Liverpool in the summer to stay at Wigan.

Sake....

 

[trueblue]

Serious question...based on what exactly? The guy comes across as a confident, young manager but thats about it in my eyes. He gets a lot(too much) media exposure because he's the youngest manager in the football league. Plus he's a Scouser which probably ticks the right boxes for some people. I really don't get it.

His side plays excellent football and has reached the play-offs two seasons running. That's why he gets plenty of exposure.

 

[trueblue]

... a playing cv that demands zero respect from players..

Yes. That's been so important for Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Andre Villas Boas......

There are as many issues at Liverpool as there are at Villa imo... RM would leave Wigan for the right job I reckon.

 

[kevtherev]

Your making reference to my Robinson remarks, I take it....Tell me, what has he done at MK Dons that in anyway qualifies him to even be considered for this job, should it ever become vacant...We have so moved on from a few years ago.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

+1 for Adkins here.

Solskjaer was my second choice when Gus got the job & I still believe he would do a good job so Ole, Ole, Ole Ole Solskjaer, Solksjaer.

Roberto Martinez would be fantastic but can't see it happening.

All this is moot though because Gus isn't going anywhere.

 

[Worthingite]

Inigo Calderon

But not yet.

This. Gus Mk II. I have absolutely no doubt that Calde is taking note of everything.
