The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

[fulhamben]

I'm still hoping for vincello

And he would be...?

He would be an auto corrected first name of montella

In that case, sorry to disappoint you but he is now the manager of Sampdoria (as of yesterday).

then Epsomraver owes me some biblical **** of epic proportions

Couldn't see anything on Blackburn's site to confirm this

[mike_corkcity12]

Rigg's lack of decisiveness in the summer has cost us big time.

[fulhamfan]

I like warnock. Perfect for us at this level and track record of getting promotions from this league. Yeh he can be abrasive but who cares?!

Blackburn's fans, like those of every other club, are, at best, an inconvenience to be tolerated and will be the last to know.

Officially Montella isn't Sampdoria manager as yet, no news on their website at all

[Burt]

Not official yet... Indeed most recent reports say he is mulling over this job, as well as us and QPR.

[St Eve]

No worse than Arry, Curbs, Sherwood. Just paper talk

Really? He's not a bad manager. Treated badly by qpr. I want Pearson (at least today) not warnock, but please.....

Warnock was heard to tell a player by the dugout at Fulham to go out and break a players leg, do we really want someone like him? Walked out of Palace as soon as £ notes rustled? not for me that would be the end if Colin was appointed, hope this is just lazy journo.

:plus one:
Nasty piece of work, you won't see me at the the Cottage if he gets the job!

[alexmur]

where is it reported he has taken the job? last I heard he was in London talking to QPR

There are things about Warnock that really would mean it could be the biggest mistake we have ever made and in that , believe it or not , I include Magath. This would truly be a disaster. What you see or get on the pitch is not what I am talking about

That's how I feel about Pearson too, hence my comment I would prefer Warnock to Pearson

Doesn't say he has accepted says set too, however yesterday Lambert was in London talking to QPR and reports say he is also set for talks with us

They have been saying this since he lift Fiorentina, I expect it to happen but it hasn't yet. I am not sure why but he has been sacked form Fiorentina but they still retain his contract so compensation needs ot be paid to them it seems, it is meant to be around 5 million euros

[snarks]

Rigg's lack of decisiveness in the summer has cost us big time.

Please tell me why? Is he the new management scapegoat? How do you know this? I can only presume that you were in the offices all over the summer and shadowing Rigg as he mulled over the decions to buy or not to buy players and what other steps to make, and failed to do anything at all.

SKy reporting they are set to agree a 2 million euro payment to Fiorentina

I have a friend (yes I do) and he is a ref at quite a high standard and Warnock is widely regarded as being the vilest on the line. Anyway he pencils in his eyebrows.

Thank you and good night

Don't understand how 'winning in the right way' is particularly relevant here. Pearson's Leicester were generally open, attacking and ambitious for a team in the lower reaches of the Prem. I don't think there's much evidence to accuse Pearson's teams of dirty play either.

The issue is that Pearson occasionally comes across as a bit of a hot-head, but he's not what I'd call a nasty piece of work because he's always apologised for stupid things he's done and hopefully they won't happen again.

Given that our current team have so much potential but so rarely show it, I think being yelled at by someone who's a bit of a nut job but knows his onions about football could do them some good.

If we are going to spend absurd amounts of money on a manager, and let's face the likelihood that Moyes' wages will be absurd for us, then why not go after the better Everton manager - Martinez. He's just as realistic IMHO. <---- a bit of hyperbole there but,....

I just don't believe that Moyes will stoop to managing a Championship club and we'd have to overpay for any return he'd bring if we were able to bring him in. Too much cost for not enough certainty that we'd reach the PL.

I don't know enough about all the competitors for the job to say who'd be best for our club but, I still don't think Moyes would be my choice.
