The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

[One James stannard]

Why is Steve Bruce currently favourite to become our next manager? He's currently doing a great job with hull so why would he want to come to us?. Do the bookies know something we don't?

With sky bet 2nd fav is Harry redknapp
And rather strangely Patrick Viera is 3rd fav!!.

The decision of the next manager is so so important

Fallen put with owner at Hull, linked with us as was the gang of fives main man after Kit, and Bruce has form on jumping ship all his career, hope he stays at Hull can't stand the bloke.

I'm thought he was the main man before Kit but Hull wouldn't release him, hence the time it took for Kit to be confirmed. Anyway, all rumours so I don't know for sure.
I'm not a great fan either

Pearson without a doubt for me. No nonsense (as many have put), is passionate and knows how to get promoted. Just anyone except redknapp for me

[dannyboi-ffc]

I heard Bruce was the panels choice but wasn't available and Kit kept winning as caretaker so it became very difficult not to offer him the job. I'd be very surprised if Kit was first choice and like said above, I think that's why it took so long to appoint him properly.

There were 2, Bruce and Coleman who were ahead of Kit in the picking order. Coleman was a straight no due to the Wales job, Bruce wanted to come, his contract at Hull didn't allow him. As above, Kit continued to get results, and stability was key, so was kept.

[MJG]

I used the word 'after' but yes he was first choice. I meant kit was in the chair already.

Quite frankly Mike, I think he did bloody well to not over react to a lot of crap from the reporter !

Steve Bruce would be my preferred candidate. I don't want us to get Harry Redknapp (he ruins clubs financially) and an average premiership manager (who's first professional job was in the premiership) like Tim Sherwood. I also think we should not by any stretch of the imagination be giving first chances to upcoming managers like Patrick Viera - we can't be a practice ground for these managers right now. We did that with Kit.

[westcliff white]

if its bruce its bruce, doesn't bother me

[MJG]

Thing is you need to see the ones leading up to this.

the guardian story was put on the forum when we were linked out him before, highlights he isn't a modern type coach but then neither was Fergie and Bruce was tutored by him to a degree. Hasn't had the success Fergie had obviously but he does know how to get teams up

I think you seriously need to do your research Grandad before posting in the future, redknapp took Spurs to 5th in the premiership far from average, also you say his 1st job was In the premiership, yeah ok. So the man didn't start in management at Bournemouth!!!!!! Seriously if your gonna make a post get it right.

That bloke who managed Watford last season would do for me. Jancovich is that his name?

I think the "first job being in the premiership" was supposed to be for sherwood. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
As for Harry, he is a very second rate manager. Yes he got spurs to 5th, but that's when they had a massive amount of top draw players and kept going off the boil after Xmas. Blaming it on food poisoning iirc. I don't want him or rosie the dog anywhere near the cottage thanks.
Not overly keen on Bruce either. But he's been tipped for the job everytime kit lost a game (so every other match going by stats!). But I don't think he's the right fit. Don't really know who we should bring in, but the board need to think long and hard and have a proper plan B and C in case it all goes Pete tong.
