I have very little belief that just about any of the names being touted around by bookies and other posters are realistic. Di Matteo, Zola, Rangnick e.t.c. all managers who you would expect would want big promises about budgets and to have players they wanted signed actually signed. Obvious we've been spoilt by the box office appointment of Poyet and then a man from Barca but I just don't believe that appointing Zola or Mackay, both managers who are big names in football at the moment but neither of whom have particularly impressive managerial records is in our best interests.
Why do we not look for a manager who fits into the system and budget we have at the club, someone who can come in and instill some fight and team spirit rather than demanding multi million pound signings in order to concede. In particular we must get someone again who is going to able to work with and develop young players.
How about:
Kenny Jackett at Wolves? Russ Wilcox at Scunthorpe? Nigel Clough at Sheff Utd?
Just to be clear, I do trust the management to make a decent appointment (yes, really) Garcia was an excellent appointment. This is hopefully a thread for people to identify other possible candidates who might otherwise fly under the radar.
