New Manager.... Your shortlist

[glasfryn]

Malky
is that short enough



but it won't happen might just be a little feisty for the upper management

 

[peterward]

alan curbs

number 1 for me.

followed by Di Matteo or Mackay

 

[carteater]

alan shearer

 

[Seasider78]

Steve Clarke
Matteo
Mackay

 

[blockhseagull]

Steve Clarke

Dennis Bergkamp

Malky Mackay

Would love Laudrup but that won't happen

 

[Kazenga <3]

Sven
Goran
Eriksson

 

[Don Quixote]

Rosler

 

[peterward]

There's a guy called Lee on the Albion ticketline who has always been really helpful with any issues etc. He's a top bloke. I'd give him a whirl. If not him, then the steward at the top of the stairs of E1A as he looks like he may have been in Motorhead and doesn't take any s h i t whatsoever.

but could we afford them?

 

[Munchkin]

Sherwood
MacKay
Clarke

 

[Northstandite]

Don't care if British or foreign.
Would prefer someone who plays progressive modern football. Look at Derby, Liverpool, Everton, Southampton for the style.
Someone who can work with TB & PB directly on player recruitment, negating the need for Burke possibly.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Mackay
Pulis
Holloway
Di Matteo

 

[Quaid]

Glen Roader

 

[TSB]

Karl Robinson. Best young English manager in the country. Consistently overachieves despite a tiny budget and a charming fella to boot.

 

[Dunk]

Stuart Pearce.


I am genuinely not sure if I am serious or not.

 

[Puppet Master]

Do people seriously believe Ralf Rangnick would come here? Because he studied in Sussex? Or Champions league-winning Di Matteo? The last two managers ****ed off because of the budget they had to work with, can't see why two names who could command top European jobs would want to work here.

 

[Skaville]

Has to be Steve Clarke. Talented coach, will be good at bringing through young talent and already successful with an Albion.

Not sure why people think Eddie Howe or Uwe Rosler would come. I'd also be keen on a lower league manager who is on the up (like Rosler was before he went to Wigan)

Karl Robinson!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Steve Clarke. End of list.

 

[Elvis]

Big Ron! Enough said..

The 'German Wenger' is the one for me: RALF RANGNICK or, as he will come to be known, King Ralf

From a Schalke-supporting blogger:
"Rangnick is definitely a manager for attacking football. His teams are aggressive in general and they play with high intensity. He likes pressing in the opponents half of the pitch and that is also his way to keep the ball away from his own goal. Long, high balls he does not like. His teams play flat and hard passes."
"Rangnick was a kind of forerunner of today's younger generation of German managers like Jürgen Klopp or Thomas Tuchel. I think Rangnick is still at least as good as these young guys. Tactically hardly anyone can fool him."
"Rangnick hates destructive defensive play. At Schalke we quickly saw how his game was supposed to work, but at the same time, the team conceded goals regularly. From my point of view Rangnick is no manager for quick success. But if you give him some time, in my opinion he is an excellent man."
