So Who's Our Next Manager?

[seagull_special]

I think Dougie Freedman would do an excellent job, bright, young, British and very focussed.

Yes, but not sure he would jump ship again and even less likely to us.

Roberto Di Matteo now evens money on Bet Victor.

I think we're all going to be surprised by who Tony has in store. I can't imagine Curbishley, Hughes, Warnock etc. getting a look-in.

Thomas Schaaf would be an excellent candidate - has just left Bremen after many successful years.

I agree. His selection of Poyet at the time shows Bloom to be far removed from chairmen whose vision is stuck on the stock round the block managers.

For the reasons that people seem to want Di Matteo we might as well get flaming Avram Grant.

i'd rather have Avram than Sven or Steve Maclaren

Di Matteo's odds to be next BHA manager have gone to evens in the last hour.

Who fancies Wayne Bridge in the Tanno role? Player/Asst Manager?

Glenn Hoddle Pleeeeeeeeease?

There's a name I hadn't considered. THat might be a good call

 

[PWA]

Part III ?

 

[The Birdman]

You getting very close?

Just saw that. Gone from 8's to even in the last two hours. (Do they know something??)
Also got Gus as favourites for Everton and Fulham.

Personally, I would like to see Eddie Howe. Has done exceptionally well at Bournemouth (twice) and also did reasonably well at Burnley. He wanted to go back South for family reasons, so he would still be able to live close to his family. Would he walk out on Bournemouth again? To go to Burnley suggests that he is ambitious.

i think he would be ideal.

This. I really like Eddie Howe. A decent bloke to. Would be in it for the long haul aswell

Having just got promoted, I think he would stay at Bournemouth for, at least, another year.

 

[severnside gull]

surprised anyone is mentioning Martin O'Neill as he tried his hardest to bankrupt Aston Villa then threw a hissy fit and walked away (sound familiar?) when the owner refused to stump up more cash.

The idea of an established manager with experience of this division coupled with someone like Calde or Wayne Bridge for continuity has a lot of appeal so Curbishley, Di Matteo, or even Colin would suit me as either would give us a likely tilt at the top 6 again next year.

RDM / Gary Neville or Ole Gunnar Solksjaer please

Martin O'Neill

Wouldn't be a flair option, but I think the shrewd Mr Bloom might go for a more proven, safer option.

Wouldn't be my first choice, but I have a feeling we'll end up with O'Neill or someone of his ilk.

 

[MJsGhost]

I have no sauce and I'm also a little drunk now, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's O'Neill....

I personally want more flair (Bielsa?!), but I can't shake this nagging feeling that it'll be O'Neill!
