New Manager.... Your shortlist

[Rookie]

Please expand?

His Cardiff team was not exactly full of youth players who had come up through the system, he likes(d) to spend money

 

[Seagulls1984]

Hoddle. He has served his penance and is ready to return to real football. Understands football at all levels with all the necessary nuances. In our case a midfield with pace, power and penetration.

This this and this

 

[Pixelated Penguin]

Steve Clarke
Matteo
Mackay

These 3 for me as well although in reverse order.

Anyone who will play 4-4-2

 

[Silent Bob]

I'd have him only if he brings Phil Babb as his assistant.

Felix Magath is a nutter. Hope Fulham get rid and he heads south

So that's Mackay for 2014/2015, Clarke for 2015/2016, Sherwood for 2016/2017, etc, etc, then?

 

[um bongo molongo]

Someone who plays a passing game, will manage, work with and play the youth players, and preferably won't walk this time next season.
Some of the names already mentioned are only interested in the first team and getting to the premier league at all costs.

= Glenn Hoddle. Passionate about developing young talent, won't just want to buy a load of highly paid old pros and plays football the right way. Served his time and his managerial record is excellent.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

So that's Mackay for 2014/2015, Clarke for 2015/2016, Sherwood for 2016/2017, etc, etc, then?

Yeah, why not !!

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Felix Magath is a nutter. Hope Fulham get rid and he heads south

Aren't we south?

 

[The Terminator]

His Cardiff team was not exactly full of youth players who had come up through the system, he likes(d) to spend money

Yeah fair point although hopefullythe board would give him instructions to give youth a chance and with some of the young(ish) players we have at the squad I'm sure he'd oblige.

I didn't entirely mean youth from our current squad. By all means give our youngsters a chance if they show promising signs but I'd have no problem signing young players from other clubs.

 

[Miami Seagull]

Mackay
Sherwood
Clarke or..
Warnock

I'd be happy with any of those

 

[jezzer]

Tim sherwood. If he wants to come.

The stats are clear, you need a British manager to get you promoted from the championship.

Why are stats so strong for British managers? I think it's cos they get the teams showing passion and determination and know players they can bring in that show these characteristics, compared to their foreign counterparts they take risks with both team tactics and selections and gamble, the foreign managers are too cautious a la garcia and to a certain extent poyet. I don't want hoofball but I do want a more attacking style with dare I say it two up front! They read the other teams better too because they know the opposition players better.


I'm also actually fed up having a manager who hardly speaks English or you can't understand them anyway so it will make a nice change

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Harry Redknapp will probably be available in the next half hour.
