[Albion] Managers that we have never had

[albionalex]

Phil Neville claimed we offered him the job. I think this was when CH took over. Would have been fun.

It was when SH took over.

Wasn't there talk about Ralf Rangnick once - or was that just media speculation?

There was also the guy who was a coach at Real Madrid and got his first management job at Derby ... and made a pig's ear of it (it's the Derby Way). I forget his name but I'm sure he was on our shortlist once

According to Dick Knight’s book, Schafer was one of two he was after, the other being Steve Coppell. But Schaffer wouldn’t commit himself until after the World Cup.

Mrs T just saw the photo and said 'ooo no; he looks just like my aunty'.

For younger viwers, the pic's Schaefer, not the man for whom penicillin gave temporary respite.

We just avoided Sammy Lee (horrible little man)

"My number 9". Nigel Clough. If only for the clips of him sitting in the dug out at the Soldstone Ground.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Paul Ince.

Paul Clement

Danny Wilson

Would have liked this, and would have been a good fit I think. Then again I'm only saying this because he is one of my favourite players for us and you shouldn't choose a manager because of how they played. Otherwise Gascoigne would have been a manager.

Alan Pardew!! Linked with us after Adams was sacked.

Russel Slade got the job.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Danny Wilson

Piss off Timmy

 

[The Wookiee]

Ron Greenwood

think that was just because he went to Sussex Uni (and played for Southwick)

don't think he was ever genuinely linked

Eddie Howe.
